Lead By Example "You know, I don't think it's an unreasonable demand. We want Zechsy to look at us as something more than friends." Duo peered at a painting in the dim light. "I know he's still mourning Noin, and its way too soon to be getting in his pants… Fei? You okay?" "Even attic walls can have ears, Duo." "Heh. Yeah, sorry. I'll get used to using sign language eventually. I read this book about a royal court; they had deaf and dumb spies so they didn't actually have to hear a conversation; they read lips and knew secret sign language and … I'm rambling." "It is no easy thing to win the love of a King." Dark eyes watched Duo with concern. "Are you sure you can face what will be a less than satisfying arrangement? People might know what goes on, but it will not be acknowledged. It will not be easy." Duo snorted. "In this supposedly enlightened age you'd think being gay means acceptance. It's not illegal anymore and Sanc is supposedly accepting of same sex partnerships. I don't see many same sex couples openly displaying affection." "In Sanc you do not see heterosexual couples being affectionate in public. We have to remember what the people here have survived. Not so long ago they were repressed, subjugated; watched closely for anything the authorities could make an example of. I have been privy to certain reports which reveal how unreasonable the demands on the populace were." "Yeah, I've seen some too, but someone is going to have to lead by example, Fei. Someone needs to demonstrate its okay to walk down the street holding hands; show its okay to exchange a kiss in public. Hell, you don't have to hump like deprived bunnies in the city parks. That would be a bit much, but these people have to relax and let their hair down a bit." "It takes time. Those who come from the Clan will require time to adjust too. There are bound to be a myriad of cultural issues, but with careful handling I think it reasonable to assume the two cultures can accept each other." "Yeah, well they have to be more than just accepting if we are going to get what we personally want." Huge violet blue eyes met dark. "I want you to know, Chang Wu Fei, that I want you. In every possible way I can have you. I don't care if it has to be an open secret, just so long as I know you feel the same way; that you want the same thing I do." The lighting was poor but Duo knew a blush when he saw one. "It pleases me to entertain thoughts of… private
moments. I have been taught to suppress my emotions in public, Duo.
It is second nature to hold a barrier between myself and others…
but for you… I do not think it will be difficult to let that
shield drop." ~ * ~ |
