"Baby Series 2"

Talk To Him

“Your turn next with Relena, isn’t it?”

Duo leaned against the wall, carefully shifting his weight to one foot to rest the other and thinking longingly of a chair and a foot spa. His ideal end to the evening would be hot bubbling water with soothing aromatic oils to take the ache out of his feet. He could only wonder how Milliardo and particularly Relena in her heels and neat little shoes could dance every dance and look so fresh.

“Indeed.”

“I’ve got this one off. Pagan decided Chang could return the favour and charm my next partner. So, what set him off?”

“Pardon?” Heero eyed him with an arched eyebrow. The final notes of the waltz stilled on the air and he was more interested in finding Relena and claiming her for the promised dance.

“What set Chang barrelling across the room like that? You went after him so I guess you sorted out the mess.”

“It’s up to Chang to sort out his own mess. I’m not his Keeper.”

Duo blinked eyeing his friend in surprise. “Oh. I thought he was your friend.”

“He is but that does not mean I need to baby sit him. Neither do you.”

“Yeah. Ahm, I guess you need to go find Relena, right?”

Yuy sighed and turned to Duo. “Yes, I need to find Relena just as you should find Chang and have a heart to heart with him. You are not a coward by nature, Duo, and if there is one thing I have learned, it is sitting back and doing nothing will accomplish precisely nothing. If you want Chang, go for it. Nail his ass to a bed if it takes that but talk to him and let him know how you feel.”

Duo blushed crimson and looked around, hoping no one had been near enough to overhear. “I can’t do that.”

“You’ll have to eventually. Think about what makes Chang tick, about his past and where he was raised. You are like chalk and cheese but Milliardo could be the oil that blends you together. I’ve watched you all dance around each other long enough. You both have a certain regard for Zechs. Don’t you think you would have a better chance of becoming a part of his intimate life if you worked together for a common aim? Think about it and in the next few days, when things get a chance to settle down, talk to him.”

Duo stared in owl-eyed wonder, watching as Heero bowed elegantly to Relena and swept her onto the dance floor. Suddenly neither Relena nor Heero looked tired and there was a chemistry there that drew every eye.

Duo watched as Milliardo swept past and close behind him Chang and his partner glided with consummate grace. If he was on the dance floor whose arms would he prefer hold him?
