place after What Do I Want?
An Abundance Of Passion “Just like that?” “That’s the difference between us, Chang. I think from a different perspective. I’ve watched the ones I loved die and could do nothing about it. Not this time. I won’t stand aside and watch him die a little each day. He needs someone to accept him for what he is, to understand him without expecting him to be the perfect King. There is no such thing. Throughout history you’ll find Kings took love where they could and I mean love, not lust. They had mistresses and those women were revered and some Kings had male lovers too.” “He has loved twice already and lost both to death. Do you not think he would believe love could not come a third time?” “No.” Duo sipped his tea. “Sorry, Chang, I can’t see the man as you do. He’s got a heavy reputation and it reflects more than ice. Look at his past and tell me the man who commanded Libra doesn’t have an abundance of passion. The kind of passion he controls because it is capable of so much it frightens him. The child who survived the massacre grew into the soldier men respected and loved. They idolized him and that’s why he had to die when he left Oz. It was passion that saw him take command of Libra and show the entire human race what it was to be afraid and helpless. Passion saw him detonate the fortress to spare humanity and passion drew him back to face Barton and defend the peace he and his lover forced on Earth. He has passion and compassion in abundance and he’ll do anything for those he loves. He’s a man who desperately wants to be loved and to love. He knows there aren’t many people in the world capable of surviving that kind of love. I think he will be helpless to deny it if he finds love again.” Chang sighed softly and set aside his mug. What did he want? What did he feel? Could his emotions measure up to the fire and passion he saw before him? Milliardo had that same internal flame. “I think I have been wrong. I think perhaps you would be better suited to him than I.” “Don’t be so bloody stupid, Chang. We’d smother each other. Too much passion is dangerous and needs to be balanced.” Duo watched and wondered if Chang was truly this dense or if he was hopeless at explaining himself. “I think we need to reassess the situation. We both want him. I’ll be clear here. I think I love him.” Maxwell expected him to be honest. For one of the few times in his life he smothered the urge to lash out at a threat. Maxwell was talking to him as an adult and expecting him to react as an adult. “I love him.” “Then let’s get over ourselves and work together to make certain he doesn’t do anything stupid because its good for Sanc.” End |
