Impossible Possible //I have barely scratched the surface of Duo Maxwell.// Wu Fei flicked his eyes repeatedly to the man standing opposite him, the door between them its frame to their backs. He was uncertain how to respond to Duo's quiet words. *"Shit Fei, I don't want that sort of freedom. I want to be a part of something with meaning. Mostly I want to be needed." * How did he respond to that? He would prefer not to be The Chang; to not be weighed down by the responsibility that title entailed, and whilst he would avoid it if he could, Duo, if he did not mistake his meaning, would welcome such a challenge to test him. What was that old saying his tutor once had mentioned? Something about the grass always being greener…? But no, perhaps he had misinterpreted the comment. Duo might not necessarily mean it that way. It was more likely to be that he needed to know he was appreciated, that he was, truly, needed. His physical presence, his knowledge, his advice, his aid in whatever form it was required. The human animal was a social beast and did not do well in isolation from its fellows, though some individuals insisted they needed no one. Such were rare individuals who, despite their protests, generally needed at least the occasional contact with humanity. One lost oneself if one had no measure of comparison. This thing they were attempting to do, for them to become a most unconventional partnership, was not the social norm. They were two highly strung individuals who each sought for something unique out of a relationship, and who determined to find that `something' not in one individual person but in two. Being a couple was not what interested them. A triangle, three individuals instead of the normal two, this was their interest, their goal. Far from conventional and perhaps it was not possible at all, though they might hope otherwise. It would not be looked upon with favour by the general public and of necessity such a relationship must be kept behind closed doors. Provided no one acted in a public situation it might, however improbable it seemed, be possible. The human species was adept at turning a blind eye if discretion might be maintained, but scratch the surface and draw notability and the hue and cry would surely bring them down. He was to be The Chang, a public figure. Milliardo was King, you could not get more public than that. Duo… Duo, despite what he might think of the value of freedom he claimed, was fortunate not to have the ties that bound them to propriety. Fortunate indeed and that fortune might perhaps be their saving grace. "Your freedom from such ties is the very thing that might make the impossible possible. Do not deny it, instead treasure it." ~ * ~ |
