I'm Waiting “I could stand in the hallway like Relena and tell the whole bloody world to fuck off. Some days I want to crawl into the smallest darkest hole imaginable and hide. I lie, Chang. I lie not with words but with my body. I smile when I want to scowl and I laugh when I want to scream. Right now the thing I want the most is to be straight with you.” “I … see.” “Do you? I’ve been interested in someone for awhile now. I’m homosexual and I don’t particularly give a fig who knows. I’ve had enough of lying to myself. He sees me as little more than a loud-mouthed nuisance and I realize his eye’s on someone else. I thought I’d lost out again but I stuck around. Maybe there was hope and maybe there wasn’t but I took the chance.” Chang scowled at the teabags near his elbow before placing them into the cups and pouring water. He knew Duo had a reputation for talking but there was nothing chatty or runaway about the man’s mouth now. His attention was centered on Duo, whose shoulders were slumped, his body language suggesting he was waiting for a blow. “Something happened while I was waiting to find out. Someone else caught my eye and I wondered why I’d never noticed him before. Zechs has a bad ass reputation, a cold fish as bad as Yuy but you got to wonder about accuracy. I mean, there he was with a baby and Noin sure as hell thought there was more to the guy. The more I looked the more I liked and watching him with Stephan … man, you can’t mistake that heart.” “So you have given away this previous interest to concentrate on Milliardo.” “That’s what surprises me the most. I still want the one I was dreaming about but every day I want something special with Zechs that much more. What’s a guy to do when he’s watching two hot men and neither of them knows he’s interested? Zechs treats me like I’m someone. A real person, not some curiosity that crawled out from under a dung heap. I’ve found more just being around him than I ever dreamed of having. Hell, I’m in line for the position of King’s Engineer. He’s given me more than anyone since I was a snotty nosed kid and Father Maxwell took me in.” “So it is gratitude, nothing more.” Wu Fei jiggled the teabags then set them aside and added sugar, stirring quickly. “Far from it. I think I’ve got enough of a brain to know the difference. I’m waiting to find out what it is you want, Chang. What it is you feel and why you feel it. If we’re going to have any chance of sorting out our future we are going to have to be honest with each other.” End |
