Burn Just As Bright Duo paused by the window and after a moment moved aside the heavy drape, peering out into the night. Sam had said it felt like snow and since he was born in Sanc Duo had no cause to doubt him. At the moment the sky was clear, brilliantly bright stars pinpointing the velvet darkness. Frozen icicles adorned the garden's trees, visible where light spilled over the hard packed snow of the garden, marking a footpath circling the palace. As he watched, a security guard with a leashed dog marched into the spilled light, flashlight in hand, shining it into the darkness of the grounds. Duo was thankful he was not pulling guard duty on a night as cold as this. His days of walking guard were long over. He was an engineer now, an engineer employed by a King to construct a state of the art power station. It was no small position he had been offered. Not bad for a street rat from L2. Did he miss Preventers? He snorted softly, raising his gaze to the stars and smiled. Hell no. He was more than happy to say goodbye to the life of a guard, field agent and glorified… what? Exactly what had he been? He found this life so much more fulfilling and filled with potential than the danger that had stalked his life for so many years. He was a part of the palace security system, but he was not a regular guard who patrolled the house and grounds. When he lent himself to Pagan now it was to guard the body he very much wanted guarded. `And to jump those long bones.' The errant thought widened the smile curving his generous mouth. Oh yes, he could quite happily guard Milliardo Peacecraft and what better way to guard that long, lean body than to get up close and personal? So much potential for a fiery passion in that blonde masterpiece of flesh and bones and one day Duo would know that fire. He was determined to succeed in getting the man to live and love again. `He's a whole lot of man, maybe more than I can handle, but with Fei… together we can tame the phoenix.' As he watched, a brief flare of light streaked across the sky, a meteor burning up high in the atmosphere and Duo centred his gaze on the burning brilliance of the winter sky. "Let's make a deal, stars. You continue to burn just as bright and fierce as you do tonight and at Christmas I'll get up close and personal with Zechsy. I'll at least snog the man cross eyed on Christmas night." Was it his imagination or did that brilliant star burning so bright burn just that little bit brighter? Of course it was his imagination, but Duo grinned wider and winked at the night sky. "You're on then. Zechs gets a thorough snogging on Christmas night from yours truly… and who knows what might follow?"
