Seeming Opposites A slender forefinger slid across a perched thumb and… SNAP! “Just like that.” “You exaggerate,” Wu Fei sniffed, disdainful of the claim. “Nah. Easy as.” Milliardo watched, careful to keep his expression neutral. At one time he had feared they would never agree to do more than annoy each other. Maxwell had had a high regard for Chang for years and no doubt had despaired of ever gaining more from Wu Fei than a sneer and derogatory put down. Chang could be prickly, uptight and snappish. A Justice Freak, Maxwell had called him more than once. The man certainly had high standards and had been blind to the potential in his friend. The thought gave Milliardo pause. Had Wu Fei ever considered Maxwell to be a friend? A war companion, there was no doubt they were that even though they had not fought excessively together. He was aware they had spent time imprisoned together on the moon and had almost died there. Suffocation was not the most pleasant of deaths. Certainly they had been together on Peacemillion during the Libra incident, though from comments made, there had been little in the way of any real interaction between them. Chang’s standoffish attitude was the polar opposite of Maxwell’s open welcome. They were like chalk and cheese, seeming opposites, yet if they would give each other a chance they would find more than a little common ground. Their own personal reasons had led to their taking up arms and while war had initially brought them together, it remained to be seen if peace could seal their friendship and make of friendship something entirely more personal. They would be a striking couple and recently they had been making an effort. It surprised him to see them interact and not snipe at each other. It made him suspicious as to what they might be planning. Technically, he knew their intentions, but he knew too they had to know each other before they jumped off the deep end. Disaster could come so quickly, so easily. They had dreams, but neither really understood what it was they were asking of him. He could not be the cause for the shattering of their growing bond. Being King just did not allow for a threesome; for that matter it did not make for a pairing either. Once, not so long ago, he might have considered permitting
Chang to get closer to him. After he had mourned his wife. After he
had had time to work out his despair at losing everyone who meant
anything to him. His choices had never been for himself, except for
one. The choice to avenge the death of his family by taking the life
of the Commander who had laughed as he killed his father. It was a
shocking thing to say a Peacecraft had deliberately sought to commit
murder. ~ * ~ |
