place a few minutes after Rivals Or Friends.
Duo Maxwell Duo shooed the cook out of the kitchen with a megawatt smile. “Go on. Put your feet up. Day I can’t boil water and dunk a teabag is the day I give up smiling.” “That would be a sorry day, Mr Maxwell.” Chang filled the kettle watching as Maxwell charmed the cook out of the room and shut the door behind her. The braid was flicked casually over his shoulder and Duo set mugs on the island bench, ignoring the finest china cups and set his rump on a stool. “You wished to speak to me?” “Yeah, we need to talk before we do something stupid. Zechsy has enough on his shoulders without us publicly brawling over who gets to hump him.” Obsidian eyes widened and then narrowed with a chilling rage and Chang spun from the bench to be greeted with a perfectly serious Duo Maxwell. His blue eyes had acquired the violet tint that suggested someone might die quickly and silently but the man remained seated and nodded briefly. “Yeah. That’s what I thought. You know why we were picked to pilot the Gundams, Chang? I always wondered what the real reason was and now we’re older and wiser and I’ve had time to think. I called myself the God of Death and I had a reputation for being a kickass son of a bitch. Fuck, they knew what they were doing picking teenagers. Teenagers have no fear of death. Death’s not real, it will never happen to us don’t you know? That’s why they wanted teenagers to pilot because we were too bloody dumb to ask the right questions or think about dying.” Wu Fei stared at the young man his reflex to break the crude-mouthed idiot’s neck fading under the weight of those serious eyes. “I don’t want to die, Chang. I never did. I want to live and I don’t want to live alone. I’ve had the chance to think about the past and what I want in the future. I’ve realized that when you get the chance to live you are the world’s worst bloody fool if you pass up the best opportunities when they come.” “I … What are you saying?” “Can’t tell you what I’m saying, just what I’m feelin’. Zechsy has seen and done a lot and he’s had the guts to love and climb off his belly when the worlds caved in on him time and time again. Hasn’t he had enough? I know I have. I don’t want to fight because I have to but because I want to and I want to fight for something that makes a difference to me. Just to me and maybe to a few others. Nothing world shattering. I believe we both want the same thing.” “I am not sure what you expect me to say.” “I’m saying what I feel and I want you to say the same. Fuck tough guy reputations. Let’s just be honest between us.” End |
