from the series but the baby is mine.
Watcher // I think Sally's got it wrong.// He watched as the katana reflected moonlight with a cold gleam. Precise controlled movement, graceful as a dance. Chang was poetry in motion. //Stable family life? Nah. It's not as though he's moved in with Zechsy. He just ... visits.// Duo winced. // I don't want him moving in with Peacecraft.// The Preventer single men's quarters shared a common courtyard for relaxation and it was here that Wu Fei performed his kata. Duo took every opportunity he could to watch, finding in those precise controlled movements a peace and order that generally eluded him. // He seems to spend too much time there as it is. He said he sees in the kid what he fought for. Guess I can understand that but ... I don't know. I just ... think there is ... more.// At this time of the night only the low path lights illuminated the courtyard and he took advantage of the deep shadows to do what he considered he did best. Hide. He could watch the measured cadence of the dance and allowed the precision and graceful flow of each movement to fill him. //I'd like to be able to do that. He's offered before to teach me but... Hell, I annoy shit out of him. He'd probably gut me with that thing. It looks so ... mesmerizing. So many levels in each movement ... just like Chang. He's got so many levels he's frightening to be with. He's changed. She is right about that much, but I'm not sure she is right about the rest. Still, he was married but I thought ... maybe that's the problem. I thought. They all call me an idiot. They would really have something to say if they knew what I think is really going on over at the house. // Overhead the moon was overshadowed by a cloud and the courtyard plunged into darkness, only the path lights offering any illumination. Chang vanished into the darkness but Duo could still feel the beat of the dance though he could no longer see. With a low sigh he closed his eyes against the night. //I think I will watch. See what happens. I don't want Chang hurt. He comes on all strong and confident but I think that's a front. Sally's right about him missing his family. I guess China would be different. So similar but so different that it would hurt a lot. Just can't understand why he'd latch onto Zechsy and the babe. If he doesn't gut me I'll stay around and see what happens.// "Here again, Maxwell." Eyes made dark blue by the returning moonlight flashed open. Chang stood before him, hair pulled back into that tight ponytail and bare-chested, katana in hand. //Crap.// "Yeah, Wu? I was just watchin'." "Chang will do. Have some respect for your teacher. Shuck the shirt and we shall begin." A wide grin erupted. "Thanks. Chang." End |
