Sometime after Michael left - or really, at the point when the boy managed to knee his face - Zechs had decided further drinking really wasn't the best of ideas. So it was with a tall glass of water and a bottle of asprin that he continued to spend the evening once alone, a hangover finding him around dinnertime and leaving him in the evening.

Zechs was very aware this was the true seat of Tyki's fear. Just as he feared becoming mad, or losing his mind - what he was capable of, more than what others could do to him - this was what his husband was afraid of. He realized it the moment he saw Relena in the video, and understood what it meant. Zechs held onto Tyki fiercely, trying to show how he felt ( ... )
