Anything But Comfortable The room, while furnished more for comfort than style was, at the moment, anything but comfortable. The tension permeating the air was something one might almost physically touch and radiated from the two young men, one blonde and seated so properly on the couch and the other dark fire glaring daggers across the space. Though it was mere seconds since Winner and Barton had entered, already the atmosphere was filled with electricity and something would need to be done before one of the antagonists, namely his dragon, spontaneously combusted. Winner would not break form, Milliardo was quite sure of that, but Chang… he was another matter. He was the one who felt himself wronged, who saw the other as the enemy, intent on inflicting nothing but punishment and pain by denying him what he held so dear. Barton was Winner's lover and they all knew it. Winner had what Chang desired, a lover, a strong presence in his life on an intimate level. Winner denied him not Barton, but the lover of his choice. Before Chang could in all decency make his desire known -one must allow for mourning when a death so unexpected and tragic occurred- and Chang had been nothing but proper in his form since Lucrezia's death. Time and circumstance. If he had set his sights on Maxwell initially… but that attraction had come late for Chang and was, as yet, only a flicker compared to what might have been felt and suppressed whilst Lucrezia lived. Why had the passionate young man ever set his sights on him? He honestly did not understand it, but whatever Chang's reasons, events had conspired against him. And Winner lay at the core of those events. He wished he had the comfort afforded to him by a certain cracked and broken mask. Behind its shield had been safety. He had been Zechs Marquise and Zechs was very different to Milliardo Peacecraft. Zechs had had more freedom to be an individual, to be more comfortable in his own skin… Ah no, he must be honest. Regardless of the name he wore he had never been comfortable in his own skin, not since his childhood had ended so bitterly at the tender age of six. He would have to address the void between them. It was not closing, but minutely widening with each day, hour, minute… second… that passed. He would not have Chang break. It would not be easy, he could not expect it to be, but he would plot, plan and scheme over coming days to bring them back together. He would have allies. Heero and Duo would assist him and… his eyes flicked to meet the emerald green of the eye Barton revealed to the world. Yes, Barton would be of assistance. So be it then. "Wu Fei, would you be so kind as to return Stephen to his nanny? Request tea be served, please, and inform my secretary I will be delayed for my next appointment." ~ * ~ |
