Basic Birds and Bees "Don't sweat it, Heero. I saw a good book in a shop the other day, it would be just right for you. Romance for Dummies. Everything you need to know would be in there." There was no mistaking the growl for anything but a warning and Duo shook his head slowly. "Loosen up, man. You gotta learn to loosen up. I'm dead serious. I saw the book in an antique bookshop along with a few others in the series. Whole mess of the things were written over the space of about sixty, seventy years. Of course they're a couple of hundred years old now, but the basics would still be the same. Boy meets girl, boy woos girl, boy marries girl. Basic birds and bees stuff." "I can do without your input, Maxwell." Milliardo decided it would be best to break up the conversation before Duo set off Yuy. He happened to agree with Maxwell, but he was not about to mention that to Heero. "Alright, Pagan. I have to go break up an argument before we need to refurbish the kitchen. If you could find out which song it is and inform Yuy I would appreciate it." Milliardo snapped his phone shut and shook his head at the squabbling pair. "Are you sure you don't want to leave them to it?" Chang peered into the saucepan and then looked to the King. "I am of the opinion they deserve each other." Milliardo sighed and stretched slowly, absently rubbing at a knot of muscle at the base of his neck. It had been a long day and he felt exhausted, but merely being tired was not enough for him to find the luxury of sleep. He had hoped a few hours of quiet contemplation, a strong hot chocolate or three and he might find respite in a few hours sleep. "It is apparent, given this evening's revelations, that something must be done. If Relena does end up marrying him, he will need to live in a world where the sharks are constantly circling. He has to be able to fend for himself without killing the sharks." "It does not do to kill off the sharks. One with the potential to be meaner is likely to take its place before you know it." Chang agreed. "Given Relena's social position, Heero needs to be independent of Relena in a social situation. As her consort there could be a great deal of damage done to Sanc should he falter, and he needs to build his personal confidence up." "What do you suggest?" Milliardo considered Heero for a long moment, hardly recognising the dangerous Gundam Pilot he had fought against during the war. In this circumstance Heero had little to no survival skills to enable him to endure against the politically savvy socialites that the Princess of Sanc's consort would need to charm. If he did not get help, Yuy was indeed, doomed. Reaching again for his slim and sleek telephone he punched in a number, eyeing Yuy seriously for a long, timeless moment. The stare was weighty enough to draw the man's attention and even Duo fell silent, dropping his goading in favour of watching with interest. "Madame, I apologise for disturbing you at this hour of the night. I have a little problem I need your assistance with." Yuy swallowed, catching the change in the King's tone. Whoever he was speaking to he held in high regard and few people in the ESUN could claim that distinction. He exchanged looks with Duo and the braided man shook his head slightly, he had no idea who the King had called. Chang looked just as curious, unable to guess who Milliardo had contacted. "Yes, Madame, thank you for understanding. I know you sleep less than I do and I am relieved the speech was well received too. Madame, I have need of your consummate skills and experience. I need you to turn a social caterpillar into a butterfly for me." Yuy flinched and Duo's grin returned full force, finding the night to be thoroughly entertaining. Whatever was said on the phone in response to Milliardo's request produced a snicker from the King and a quick glance at Yuy. "Yes, Madame, it is Relena's blue eyed stud with the 'I will kill you' eyes." Duo's howl of laughter echoed around the kitchen along with Yuy's indignant growl. ~ * ~ |
