Spoilers: None Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam Wing or the
Characters from the series but the baby is mine. Pairing: Wu Fei + Duo + Milliardo Notes: Challenge 51. Baby Series 2 #138. Takes
place a couple of minutes after In Stasis.
A Question Of Planning “We were discussing the future.” Duo watched Chang prepare tea. “I could have made that, you know. My tea making skills have improved.” “It’s fine. I think the future is all planned for Milliardo and I, though you have the freedom to go where you will and be what you desire.” Duo shrugged. “Hey, I’m doing what I want and I don’t have a problem with being in Sanc.” “It is not Sanc that is my problem.” Wu Fei settled on the stool flanking Milliardo. “My problem is accepting the inevitability of my blood.” “Some things we would avoid unexpectedly capture us and we find ourselves in exactly the place we had sought to deny. Doing exactly what we swore not to do.” Milliardo stared down at the frayed cuffs of the rather tatty old sweater lying over the backs of his hands. He had never seen the King look like this before. The cascade of white gold hair was held loosely in a slowly unravelling ponytail and the darned and misshapen knitted sweater and faded patched jeans were very unlike the immaculately groomed man he was accustomed to seeing. “I always found planning things in advance pretty much useless.” Duo grinned at the twin glares he earned. “Yeah, it gives you a guideline but things change and you never do exactly what it was you set out to do. That’s how it was for me. It usually worked out better than I had planned, not everything, but some things.” “Perhaps the only plans that come to fruition are the plans of the Fates.” Wu Fei murmured. “I didn’t think I would survive the war so I never made any plans for my future. I think I expected to become a part of the Sweepers if by some chance I did survive. Instead I went to school, helped save the world a second time, went back to school and earned my degree.” “You seemed content enough to work for Preventers.” Chang murmured. “That’s what I mean about planning not always coming off. I got my degrees but never actually pushed for a change in my lifestyle. Change sort of fell my way.” He grinned at the King. “Zechsy gave me the push and let me tell you, I’m a darn sight more content than I was. If I have patience and I don’t go off half-cocked and blow it I stand a good chance of getting everything I want.” “How can you know what you want if you have not thought about your future and therefore planned your life?” Chang looked smug. “You plan, as do we all.” “I guess but I don’t plan details like blueprints. I think about what my ideal life would be and when the right circumstances come along to further that vision… pow!... I’m right in there taking advantage of it.” “Inefficient. Where would you be if the right circumstance did not eventuate?” “Everything comes to those who wait.” Duo grinned. “Everything.” End
