Sorry, my computer decided to reboot with no warning, and THEN it decided that whatever I typed in internet explorer would come out all scrambled and missing half its letters. The hell. *antiviruses! >:(*
Anyway, Wu/Mei. In the context of Newtype since I don't think about it much otherwise.
Wufei was kind of in love with Meiran but never admitted it before she died. He really envied her fierceness and her clarity of purpose and conviction, though he didn't want to admit it. Meiran was exasperated by his cynical attitude, but she was also very hurt because she wanted him to respect her and maybe care for her a bit, and she thought that he despised her.
So when she wakes up as far as she knows nothing changed, but for him everything did. They have to renegotiate everything. Wufei is trying to be more mature and not make the same mistakes because she died on him once already and that's too much. (He finds it VERY hard, because 21 year old or not, he's always had a temper and that's not going to stop. Also admitting he's wrong on anything is easier when she's too dead to stare at him in disbelief and go HAH.) Meiran is weirded out by his too-nice behavior, wondering if maybe it's pity.
Wufei is still in love, but he idealized Meiran somewhat, and even if he hadn't idealized her much she's still VERY cranky when she wakes. Meiran doesn't believe his feelings are real, just based on guilt, because he seemed to despise her back then and she only vaguely remembers the field of flower death scene anyway. But she wants it to be true really badly -- which is why she's so angry and hurt when she thinks it's all fake.
Oh, and Wufei starts calling her Nataku, but Meiran decides it sounds weird and a little like he's only doing it to placate her, and she's becoming cynical after what happened to her. She doesn't think the name suits her anymore and wanting to be called by a god's name was kind of childish, so she goes back to wanting to be called by her birth name. Wufei goes with it, but in moments of great tenderness or deep discussion he'll revert back to Nataku.
I don't know if they'll go back to being an actual couple, complete with bedroom couply things, but at any rate Wufei will probably decide it won't happen for at least two years, time for meiran's mental age to reach 16. ...of course that's not really how maturity works, but he figures even so she still needs time to stabilize and make an informed decision. Now whether Meiran will let him make all the decisions regarding their relationship, well.
