Nah, you be the Aiz hardcore fan here. The chemistry Ryuu and Bell had, even if indeed she isn't the end girl, Ryuu still had a very solid and a pretty good chance as a candidate. It wasn't much love that Bell felt for Aiz, but rather a sense of Admiration and was much like Bell was seeking to be able to be stronger, for recognition and to be able to stand beside her in the start of the season. In all the seasons i haven't since sense a feeling of love between them.

Now claiming that Aiz was with him in every step of the Journey, is an exaggeration rather it's a lie. Sure he help Bell in a part, but with him every step of the JOURNEY?, NAHH. That is just being a hardcore Aiz fan.
