"Baby Series 2"Written By: Karina
Spoilers: None Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam Wing or the
Characters from the series but the baby is mine. Pairing: Wu Fei + Quatre + Heero Notes: Challenge 37. Baby Series 2 #78. Takes
place after We Are All We Have.
I Set Him Up “Where is Duo?” Heero glanced at Quatre and then returned his attention to Chang, as though he expected Wu Fei to explode at the slightest provocation. “Hunter gave us a job to do. He’s doing it. I have been assured I have twenty minutes, no longer, to get this mess sorted out and the clock is ticking.” “Maxwell!” Chang growled. “He… ” “Has no idea what is going on. He does not know you overheard anything. I set him up, Chang, so take your anger out on me. I saw you approaching and led the conversation. I’ve watched him watch you for months and you have been as cognizant as a brick wall. Nothing he has said or done seems to get through to you. Correction, something must have, you at least acknowledged him a rival for Milliardo’s attention.” Quatre leaned against the wall, rubbing his hand over his chest. “Duo is in love with Wu Fei?” Heero arched an eyebrow. “You missed it? I’m surprised. Milliardo certainly read the signs. He’s done everything but grab them by their ears and bash their heads together over the past couple of months.” Quatre watched as Chang’s colour drained to a sickly yellow and then flushed back. The pressure he sensed was still present though subtly altered. No longer a threatening violence he could liken to thunder, it was now more subtle and less explosive. The anger was draining under layers of what he identified as shock. He wondered if they might not need to wrap Chang in one of the furs. “If you think you have problems dealing with the idea of the changes when Milliardo became King put yourself in Maxwell’s shoes.” Heero moved a step closer to Chang. “Duo has had feelings for you for years. He went out of his way to get the kind of education he thought might put him on a level footing with you. He worked hard and when he turned around what did he find? He discovered you had eyes for another man. I expected him to run but he never. I don’t know why. He stayed and he watched and he started to see what you saw in Zechs. If you can fall for Zechs why can’t someone else? He’s in love with two men and knows he’s likely to lose both.” Wu Fei growled low, confused but feeling pushed into a corner. “What do you expect me to do? Miraculously find an undying love in my pocket for Maxwell?” Heero sighed. “I was hoping you might find it in you to take another look at the situation. Knowledge is the key to making an informed decision. You know more than you did fifteen minutes ago. Regain control and think. I’m not telling you to fall in love with Duo but I am asking you to keep an open mind. Examine things from all aspects and until you do don’t jump all over Duo. I might take exception to that.” End
