Prompt: 357 - Maze
Word count: 400
Warning - punning ahead
There are people who might consider me a little touched or even completely lacking in judgment. They see my partner and they see an immoveable object smack up against impenetrable force. I just see Illya and the mystery that he is.
Perhaps mystery is the wrong word. He’s a… maze, full of wrong turns and dead ends. The real skill is learning how to read the maze.
Some people see him as cold when he’s really just reserved. It’s the way of the Soviet people. Decades of observation and betrayal make them distrustful of strangers. However, once they have taken you into their hearts, you are there to stay. And now that I have fully wormed my way into the very core of his heart, I’m not about to give him any reason to doubt his trust, neither in word or deed. That gives me a hint as to when to turn left in the maze that is Illya.
Some see him as hard a steel and without remorse. They couldn’t be more wrong. Yes, he is tough, but agents have to be. You have to learn to shut off part of you or soon there’s nothing left of you. Death, the loss of friends, and a host of other dangers eat away at you until it’s too late and the damage is done and permanent. They see a man in control, I see a man who will kill without blinking, then cry at a Kodak commercial. They see a man unflinching and I see someone amazed at the sight of a kitten or a soaring bird. To see only one side of Illya is to do serious injustice to the man and a dead end for sure.
Some others see him as a walking brain, a scientific whiz kid without feelings, but I know the man who gets confused with simple cooking instructions and watch him laugh uncontrollably at a comic book. That laugh, a fast wink or and half repressed chuckle. That’s my indication that right is the way to go.
And I know the passion by which he can love, the depths and lengths that he’s willing to go to please and be pleased. I know his will and his heart, every turn of his psyche and nuance of his soul.
Some may say that Illya is a maze and they’re right, but he’s more – he’s amazing.
