Conversations I
"I didn't think that you'd put up with it..." asked a lazy sensuous voice.
Lady Une raised an eyebrow, but gave no other reaction. "He keeps Treize-sama happy. Who am I to complain?"
"You screamed the first time you had caught us together. What changed?" Zechs's lazy voice took on an edge of bitterness, remembering the scene. It had not been pretty.
"He's no threat to me. You were. And I never thought that you had Treize-sama's best interests at heart." ‘He sent him flowers and he made him laugh, something I never managed to do and you never tried' she thought.
"And that little bastard of a Gundam pilot does?" Zechs snarled, completely out of temper with the cool woman in front of him. She always did manage to put him out of sorts, even without their arguments over Treize.
"Duo Maxwell is honest about their relationship. Treize-sama knows where he stands with him and Duo is about the only person in his life that does not have some Byzantine plot going on around him.
"Including you, his faithful aide-de-camp?" Zechs mockingly asked her.
Une looked coldly at him, "This is OZ, everyone is plotting something. I am no different."
"The difference is that you plot is to protect your darling Treize-sama. Most of them are to harm him."
"True enough. That is why I like Duo. His plot is refreshingly simple. Besides," Une's tone grew slightly amused, "he seems to be fond of me also."
"And what is his plot?" Zechs inquired delicately, his eyebrow raised. That Duo Maxwell was fond of Une seemed very odd. Anyone besides Treize liking that harridan was odd.
Une smiled frostily. "If I told you I'd have to kill you."
