An Unholy Alliance “You are sitting back and watching it happen.” Heero smiled, noting Quatre’s aggravation at his apparent unconcern. It was so much easier to relax and smile now. His life was stable, he did not daily face the prospect of dying and there was a wonderful young woman who looked at him in a manner he definitely liked. Oh yes, for him life had progressed in desirable directions. “What should I do?” Quatre set his teacup down with a little more force than was required to be polite. He was tired and he wished he could take Trowa and go on a long trip to some deserted location where it would only be the two of them. He was tired of dealing with business concerns; living, eating and breathing business. To make matters worse he was sure Chang had not given up on his dream to get himself into Milliardo’s bed. “I had thought Chang understood Milliardo is out of contention and was content to respond to Duo’s attentions.” Heero settled back in his seat and sighed. “I honestly don’t know why you have to concern yourself with Wu Fei or Duo’s love life. What happens behind closed doors is not your concern. It is their business.” “Not where the stability of Sanc is concerned. This country is far from stable and Milliardo must be seen to be squeaky clean. We can’t afford to have Sanc come to the attention of the world for the wrong reasons. Scandal is not the friend of Sanc at this time.” “They are dating each other, after a fashion.,” Heero offered. “After a fashion is not a real date, Heero. I know their respective positions keep them busy, but they need to concentrate more on each other and not keeping company with the King. It would be viewed as an unholy alliance, you know. Aligning two Gundam Pilots and the Terror of Earth in an intimate knot would be like waving a red flag at a bull. The ESUN would be all over Sanc like a rash.” “Bulls are colour blind, ” Heero observed. “They can’t actually see red, you know.” Quatre snorted. “I don’t believe you can be so casual about this. You are in the intelligence service, you must be aware of how closely Sanc is watched.” “The entire world is watching Sanc, and don’t forget the colonies. Quatre, who said we are not aware of it? We know which way the wind is blowing and do you honestly think Pagan would allow another massacre?” “Sanc has few natural resources. It can not afford embargoes.” “You put Zechs where he is today. Have you no faith in your own decisions?” “I’m tired. With the House of Representatives meeting in February there is a great deal to do if Sanc is to come from it a recognized aligned nation.” “There are other people capable of shouldering some of the burden, Quatre. You don’t have to do it all.” |
