Change Is In The Wind Beside her Quatre stood tall and silent. The isolation ward where they tended to her brother’s needs was under video surveillance though this was the first instance that she was aware the camera had been activated. Quatre had requested a moment of her time and she had left her brother to be watched over by Chang. She had silenced her secretaries demands for her time with a most uncharacteristic snarl at his latest attempt to draw her back to work. Until she had spoken to her brother she could not face the work waiting for her. //If … When he consents to take his rightful place the entire political landscape governing the ESUN will change.// She needed time to prepare to face the consequences. “I … see a man who is concerned for a friend.” “You see the same thing I do.” //I … Yes. I understand now why Fei scowls at me.// “Does Milliardo … return that regard?” “I don’t know.” “You have spoken to Fei?” “I informed him I will have him removed from his position. Romantic relationships cause conflicts of interest.” Relena glared. “Trowa is your bodyguard.” Quatre had the grace to blush. “No. Well, not since a recent incident. We know where to draw the line.” “Quatre … have you broken up?” Her concern was evident in wide blue eyes. “Our relationship is healthy. We just … altered the parameters.” Chang lightly stroked a hand down a long cascade of silver. After a moment of watching that light caress she reached out and turned off the screen. “Then alter the parameters for them. Give Chang a chance.” “You can’t have a King with a male lover.” “Why not? I’m forcing my brother onto a throne I know he does not want. The least I can do is ensure he has companionship. It would have been done in the past though not made public. If my brother … I will not be the one to tell him he can’t have even that much comfort. If Quatre Winner can have a male lover why can’t Milliardo Peacecraft?” “Different circumstances …” “Get a life. I know your religion forbids homosexuality. You are discreet but if you think its not known you’re delusional.” He felt like a first class heel spying on his friend but he needed to deal with any possible opposition to the restoration. The traditionalists and royalists would not appreciate the King engaging in a homosexual relationship. “Thankfully I’m not King. I have more of a private life than he will have. Once we move every aspect of his life, past, present and future will be scrutinized.” “Change is in the wind so why not change that stigma too? It will be like a breath of Spring. Anyway, we don’t know if my brother would be interested. He was married. He has a son. Nothing to suggest homosexuality there.” “Zechs is bisexual. He was Treize Kushrenada’s lover.” //He was …! Libra … The war … Oh, Milliardo. You … Will I ever know you?//
