this fic.
Legend Status "It is inaccurate; bald speculation containing little fact." Relena inclined her head, not about to argue the accuracy of Heero's observation. "It will remain so until someone gives an interview and explains matters to them." She felt both men stiffen, her brother and the man she wanted to marry. She loved them both and really they were so much alike in so many ways it was endearing. Not that she would tell them that, of course, it was a personal view and given her public position she cherished what private thoughts and little privacies she could garner. "Gundam's are already given legend status; so are the men who piloted them." "There were many who fought for peace. There is no need to focus on us." "I know, Heero, but the Gundam pilots are largely a mystery, even to most of the politicians. There are only a select few who know just who you are. Of you all it is Milliardo and Duo who have the highest profiles, because their faces were known to the public. The Alliance was quite fond of publicity, after all. Neither of them will give interviews so of course the media, and everyone else, speculate." It seemed that mentioning his name summoned him. Duo bounced through the door, bright eyed and looking as though he had not a care in the world. Until his eyes lit on the magazine opened before Milliardo and the headlines Heero was slowly grinding under restless, agitated fingers. The smile dimmed, blue eyes easing toward violet before he took a fortifying breath and shrugged aside the emotions. "Morning all. Papers are full of shit again I see." "Good morning, Duo. Please, come and enjoy breakfast and help me to convince these two to put a bit of shine on the day, not a gloomy cloud." "What's to brighten?" He peered at the magazine in front of Milliardo and scowled. "Nasty pic of Scythe. That does not do justice to him." Relena sighed softly, but at least Milliardo snorted and there had been a twitch of his lips, and Heero had rolled his eyes, turning attention to the coffee pot and away from the papers. Duo beat Heero to the coffee, poured for himself and Heero with a cheeky wink and settled beside his friend, scowling as he flapped a hand at the papers. "Put those away, huh? There's enough shit about the Gundam's and the war hitting the net without seeing that over breakfast. Yesterdays speech has stirred up debate over the war again and the direction the peace is heading in." "Anything new that will require attention?" Duo shook his head, glancing at Heero briefly before leaning back in his chair. "Nah. Same old, same old. A bit more speculation about what is happening in Sanc with Zechs as King, that sort of thing. I have a watchdog set to alert me if specific tags get tripped." ~ * ~ |
