"Baby Series 2"

Testing The Waters

“Bullshit.”

Onyx eyes widened and dark eyebrows rocketed up, almost meeting Chang’s high hairline. “Excuse me?”

“I said bullshit. Got a problem with that?” Duo smirked and rested back against the icy stone wall.

It seemed to Duo he had spent a considerable amount of time since coming to Sanc sitting on freezing balconies overlooking traditional gardens and wishing he could escape the formality of court life. For just a fleeting instant he had considered the idea of bolting, running as far from this existence as possible and the thought had startled the curse out of him.

He wanted so much more out of life.

“I would appreciate knowing why you are cursing when neither of us has been talking.”

“I’ve been thinking a lot of bull lately. You know, thinking about what I would be doing if I was not here… what I hope to be doing here.”

Wu Fei nodded slowly. “And?”

“I’ve decided I’m here for the duration. I’ve made a habit of running and hiding in the past but I’m done with that. I need to make myself a real future." He could not resist, he had to say it and see what the reaction would be. “With the clear intention of gaining a lover or two of the highest order.”

For a moment Wu Fei looked at Duo and then blushed, the darkened colour visible in the light from the room behind them. Ducking his head he stared down into the garden where brave couples were strolling and even going so far as to steal a quick kiss. The lack of public affection in Sanc suited his shyness at public intimacies and he wondered how long this conditioning would last. With freedom the people would surely loosen their moral stance and be seen in public doing more than holding hands.

He found he missed seeing young couples necking in parks. He had always considered such to be a shameless display until it was notably absent.

//Perhaps it is because I have never been permitted to show my affection for anyone on a public level. Even with Meiran we were to obey the rules of propriety.//

“Fei?”

“My apologies, I was thinking.”

“Ah… So, why haven’t you decked me yet?”

Wu Fei managed to pull around him his mask of cool indifference. “And why, pray tell, should I ‘deck’ you?”

He was taking his life in his hands. Chang was not likely to care if there were witnesses to him committing murder if he felt his honour had been infringed upon. Still, they were alone, the dim light granted some privacy and he was feeling a little reckless. Okay, a lot reckless. He was only one floor up from the ground and he could jump that distance to safety.

“For doing this.”

Wu Fei’s vision was filled with blue violet eyes sparkling with mischief and Maxwell’s lips were warm and firm on his.
