place a few minutes after Of Honey And Forests.
Did You Tell Him? “Ready, Sister?” “Ready, Brother.” Relena rested her hand on his offered arm. Milliardo inclined his head to the Master of Ceremonies who rapped his staff smartly three times on the floor. People fell away from the royal couple who made their way to the dance floor. “I will be in his arms next.” Duo smirked. She was a contender for the throne and while he admitted she was strikingly lovely it took more than looks to make a Queen. “No, Milady, you follow Duchess Catalonia who follows Mariana Tylor, who in turn follows Lady Medina.” “Fourth? Why fourth?” “Keep your voice down. Be gracious, remember. Gracious and smiling and a perfect lady fit to be Queen.” //Yeah, right.// Duo snickered. //I can see Milliardo taking a lot of comfort in the local honeyed Meade if he had to live with her.// “Something amusing, Duo?” Heero slipped into the small space beside Duo, watching as the King swept his sister into a waltz. Duo grinned. “They look good together. Miss Pink scrubs up well.” Heero arched an eyebrow but refrained from commenting. He knew Duo delighted in teasing and considering his personal interest he was probably feeling the distance his sex was forcing on him. Heero was to dance with Relena as one of her suitors later in the evening but Duo was not to have the grace of dancing with his love interest. //Not either one of them.// Heero mused. //I’m uncertain what to do about them but Milliardo’s dance card is full. Perhaps I could encourage Duo to at least take Chang where they can hear the orchestra and share a dance?// “You look like you are scheming, Heero. Whatever it is, forget it.” “Would you not like to dance with Chang?” “Of course I would but he’s not demonstrative. He’s too private to dance with another man in public.” “So take him to a side room and entertain him.” “I’m an acknowledged rival, Yuy, not a love interest.” “You did tell him you were interested in him? You were going to.” “Yeah well, he didn’t seem to realize I was talking about him.” “Did you tell him he was the one you loved?’ Duo shrugged. “He ain’t interested, Heero. He only sees Zechs and hears what he wants to hear. Like an ant after honey he can’t leave the sweet thing alone and ignores everything between him and the honey pot.” Relena had plans concerning her brother and his friends and he wondered why he was aiding and abetting her. In an hour or so he would dance with her, one dance and it would be worth the agonies of the night. No such relief for Duo or Chang, he mused as his gaze wandered the shifting crowd then narrowed with a distinct gleam. “Did you come straight out and tell Chang he was your interest?” “Why do…” “Duo. You need to tell him, face to face and actually name him.” End
