One of the Boys
By: Prissy...Must I put my full name? By now you're probably familiar with me...^_^;;
Disclaimer: Lady Une and Treize are not mine...or Mil! I forgot he's in this story...or Oz, or the Romefeller foundation...what is mine is the writing itself, other than the characters/foundations used...so take it and I'll have to come after you with my katana, alright? ~.รณ
Warnings: Angsty, like many of my other new fics...No Yaoi/Slash! Maybe suggested shonen ai 'tween Treize/Miliardo, but that's just...because they are good friends! Hope you like! Oh, and this is Lady Une's POV, R/R please!
Why is it that Mr. Treize looks at me so indifferently? I do everything he asks for and more, no questions asked, and yet he still treats me like I'm just another of his soldiers, his loyal underling. I am more than just a soldier, Treize...
I am not just one of the boys.
Because of him, I've changed completely. My life used to be composed of nothing more than getting up, going to work, coming home, eating dinner, and going to bed.
But now...
I'm commanding men younger and older than me, sniping at them for insolence and ignorance...I'm always in a bad mood, at least to the people I work with...
But that's not me. I am not the person he has me play at work...I'm compassionate, caring, sensitive...
Yet he requires me to be ruthless, uncaring, cold...
At least around the other soldiers.
When it's just myself and Treize, he allows me to be the person I am, the woman I am...
Why is it that I have to 'allowed' to do anything by him? That I have to wait for his approval before doing what I want to do?
And he doesn't always approve. Once, I wanted to give the soldiers a day off...
I never suggested anything like that to him again.
Why do I blindly follow you everywhere, doing anything and everything you wish, Treize, when you treat me so coldly?
I know why. Do you?
Because I love you.
I love you, Mr. Treize.
Why else would I change myself completely for you?
It's not loyalty to one's commander, or duty to the country...
It's love.
And yet you, despite your 'marvelous insight,' have failed to notice this. You still address me as Lady Une, on a rare day, Lady, but still not even by my first name. Do you even know my first name, Treize?
I've tried hinting, tried to make you open those gorgeous eyes of yours to see what is right in front of you, but no...
You continue to shut yourself in darkness, prohibiting emotion. At least towards me. You treat me like I am just 'one of the boys' when we both know full well I'm not.
The boys don't love you like I do.
Sometimes I'm convinced that you'd rather spend time with Zechs than me, going over the next move Oz is going to take instead of drinking Champaign by a fire in the mountains.
I want to go drink Champaign by a fire in the mountains, Treize.
I want to, god dammit!
But...
Only if you go too.
Only you would never go take time away from your precious Oz schedule, filled with diplomats and members of the Romefeller foundation, to spend with me.
You just leave me alone, wallowing in my own self pity as I try to think of a way to profess my love for you, try to make you notice me...
Try to make you understand that I'm not just one of the boys, Treize.
I'm not.

Argh!!! *runs off to buy the first plane ticket away from this place, then realizes I am leaving for a vacation tomorrow* Oh, wait. Never mind! ^_^;;
