Dark Fire //Pagan wants us to become a real family.// Duo watched the old man walk through the door. // I’ve wanted something more than just sex from Zechs, but I’ve never dared call it… family.// They were a unique grouping and while Zechs was never called a Gundam Pilot, the fact remained he was one of the few to fly a Gundam. He had been awesome in Epyon and before Epyon there had been the Tallgeese, the forerunner to all mobile suits, including the Gundams. He had made the archaic piece of titanium dance. So much larger and heavier than the refined Gundams; an outdated monster. Under the guiding hands of Zechs Marquise, Tallgeese had appeared as light as a feather and as manoeuvrable as a Swallow. He belonged in their unique family. It was more than him being a pilot though. This was far more important than Duo’s respect for a skill level equalling his own. There were many types of family and he wanted more than a professional relationship with the King. More than something on the level of a comrade in arms. A real family was something he could not recall having. There had been Solo and the streets of L2 followed by the Maxwell Mission, but few would call either group a family. They had been stability and caring in his young life. He classed them family. And his time with the Sweepers too had to count on some level as family interaction. The Sweepers took care of their own; and was that not what Family did? Pagan seemed to think he and Chang could make an intimate relationship work; that Milliardo Peacecraft would be too much for either of them to handle alone. He thought they would need each other to cope with him. Pagan knew the Peacecraft family, though he might not know Zechs so well, Duo mused, but so far Pagan had known just how to handle the King. He had to give credit where it was due and acknowledge Pagan’s senior years and the experience gained with them. Duo needed to trust the man knew what he was talking about and would assist them, both he and Chang, in courting and winning the King’s intimate attentions. The door swung closed, sealing he and Chang Wu Fei in the King’s suite. He dared to look at Chang, to attempt to judge the workings of the mind behind those inscrutable dark eyes. There was fire in his eyes, an indomitable spirit and a fire for justice, but what Duo wanted to see was something else. Something to give him hope Wu Fei would take this opportunity and not by pass it, thinking he knew better. Dark fire, that was what he saw. Dark fire smouldering as the mind behind the eyes considered the implications. For a long moment dark eyes met blue/violet and Duo waited, uncertain what would happen. “It would not do to underestimate Pagan,” Wu Fei murmured. “He is a very dangerous man.”
