Obsession On his way back into the central wing he should really make a brief stop to peek in at his son. Just a quick in and out to see he slept peacefully. He did not know what he would do if something happened to Stephen and he knew he doted on the infant who was quickly becoming a little boy. Too quickly they grew up. How quickly they passed from helpless and totally dependant on the love and care of a parent, and passed to rebellious individualism. One day Stephen would not need him and would find someone to love and move on. As much as one who would be King could move on. Already a year old. A year since Noin's death. She would have adored her son and lavished her love on Stephen as she had not been able to do with him. He had no illusions about how he had hurt his wife. From their academy days, before she had known who he was, she had had her eyes set on him. Back then he had been the odd one out, the strange boy who divorced himself from the pranks and easy camaraderie of the cadet ranks. He had been too serious, too set on making those who had destroyed his world pay for that sin. He had not fit in, his drive and push to excel marking him as different. Noin had been one of the few female cadets to graduate Victoria and move on to bigger and better things. She had told him she wanted to go into space, to explore the stars… //I wonder if you explore those stars now?// He had loved her, though not as soullessly as she had loved him. He had heard the comments… Obsession. Stalker. He had heard some of their trainers talking, commenting on Noin, wanting to expel her from the Academy. `Noin continually places herself second to young Marquise. It is clear she does not have the drive or instinct to survive as a soldier. She should not be here. It's the first time I have ever faulted her, but she is making a fool of herself with this obsession with Marquise.' When she had discovered who the standoffish Zechs Marquise really was… there had been no holding her back from her determination to make him look good. Idiocy. They had duelled each other with their studies and he had fairly beaten her time and again, but there was one area of training where Noin had never been able to defeat him. She should have just left things alone, it was not as if he was an idiot and failing his academic qualifications. He took her down every time in a mobile suit. Child of Pacifists or not, he was uncommonly proficient in the use of the massive weapons. Oz had needed mobile suit pilots more than academicians and he had been just what they needed.
