Wufei had opted for anger instead, because it was easier than letting himself get close to the others. He'd had a mission, it needed all of his focus, he couldn't let himself get attached. It would've been cruel to Duo -- he was supposed to die in that last battle, was supposed to lose to Treize and die with honor.

Instead, he'd ended up headlining an uprising and joining law enforcement after the fact, and didn't know how to take back all the unkind things he'd done and said.

He didn't know what his 'dream' self had done to make it up to Duo, but it seemed very well worth it. He leaned into Duo's touch, smile warming. "I'm so glad we both ended up here, wherever this is, however we did it. As long as you're here, I never want to leave. There are so many things I want to share with you." Secrets and traditions and moments... mostly moments.
