It was Christmas time around the world, and no one was more excited than Duo Maxwell! "Yay, Christmas is coming! I can't wait!" Duo yelled at the top of his lungs to no one unparticular. It was December 15th. The snow was falling beautifully out side the sake house where the gundam pilots were staying. Trowa Looked up form the book he was reading.
"You really like Christmas don't you?" asked Trowa. His green eyes sparkling in the low light of the fire place. Heero and Quatre where out on a mission and Wufei was. no one knows? He just pops out of nowhere. That spooked Duo.
"You kidding I love it it's my favorite holiday! Hey Tro what do you have planed for Christmas?" Duo asked walking over to Trowa sitting on the couch and sat down to the long banged friend.
"I dunno I just hope that we don't get any missions from the 23 to 27 I plan to relax It's a holiday after all we deserve a few days off to enjoy it!" replied Trowa. He always thought that Duo was quite attractive with his yard long braided ponytail and his elfish features and his violet eyes just how the danced when Duo laughs.
"I agree! It's not like OZ is planning to attack or anything on Christmas they'll be at home eating huge turkey dinners! And opening gifts, Sitting by the fire with the ones they love drinking hot chocolate singing Christmas carols. I hope Heero and Quatre get back from their mission soon they've been gone almost 2weeks. I'm starting to get a little worried!" Duo said in a worried voice. Trowa looked over to Duo. Trowa could see that he was truly worried about them he couldn't blame him he was too! 'Wow Duo is sure worried about them maybe Duo does like Heero. He always seems to be around him. Why would he like me anyway Heero is much stronger more attractive. What would Duo see in me.' Trowa thought to himself.
"I'm worried too! They'll be back soon I'm sure of it!" said Trowa. Just then jumped up off the couch, with a huge smile on his face.
"Hey Trowa wanna get ready for Christmas? We can go cut down a tree outside, and put decorations up and stuff and some time during the week we can go Christmas shopping for the others. What ya say?" Duo said happily bouncing up and down like a little child. Trowa couldn't help but smirk at the braided pilot.
"Ok let go, but first we need to tell Wufei where we're goin so he doesn't worry or something. You know how he gets when he can't find anybody." Trowa said looking at Duo.
"Okay! Let's hurry I can't wait!" said Duo nearly shouting. Duo started jumping in anticipation. "Um where is Wufei?" asked Duo.
"Most likely he's in his room." Replied Trowa. As he put his book on the coffee table and headed for the stairs with Duo on his heals. As they reached Wufei's room the heard typing on a computer. Trowa knocked on the door there was a bit of shuffling in the room.
"Hai, who is it?" said Wufei through the door from his place at his desk.
"It's Santa Clause!" said Duo. Wufei raised an eyebrow at Duo's voice.
"No it's Trowa and the braided baka." Said Trowa lightly smacking Duo up side the head. Wufei smirked at them even though they couldn't see it.
"ow! Trowa whad'ya do that for?" said Duo with a dirty look on his face.
"I dunno it was tempting." Replied the taller teen. "So wu are you gunna open up or what?" asked Trowa. They heard Wufei heading towards the door and it opened And Wufei's head pops out the door.
"Yes?" Asked Wufei. Then Duo flashed him the biggest smile he could and then said. "Towa and I are going to get a Christmas tree. We wanted to tell you where we were going to go get a Christmas tree ^_^ hee hee! We thought we should come tell you where we were going because if you came down and we weren't there you might get pissed or something and then come hunt us down and kill us." Explained Duo Wufei gave him a weird look.
"Who do you think I am Heero? And um." trailed off Wufei.
"Let me guess you wanna come to, right?" Trowa stated. Wufei looked up and nodded his head. " Of course you can come!" he continued.
"Ya just don't call me names and stuff because you can be kinda mean, but ya I'm down let's go!" Said Duo.
"I have one other question, are you feeling alright Trowa, you're talking." Asked Wufei. Trowa just looked at him and gave him a small smile and said,
"I feel fine" Then green eyes just started down the stairs. "You coming?" he called over his shoulder. Duo and Wufei looked at each other.
"Weird" Duo and Wufei said at the same time. Then they ran down the stairs after their friend.Trowa was at the door putting his things on When Duo and Wufei got to the bottom of the stairs.
"Hey wait for us!" said Wufei. Duo gave Trowa an agreeing nod. Trowa just looked at them and smiled 'Boy, they're cute when they pout!' Trowa thought to himself. Duo and Wufei looked at each other.
"Well are you gunna get your stuff or not or are you planning to go out there in the freezing cold with no coat, hat, gloves, scarf, and not boots. Or are you planning to freeze while you're out there hm?" Wufei and Duo gave him a weird look but they nodded and went to gather their things.
"Boots, boots, boots, boot where for out thou are my boots?" said Duo as he searches the safe house for his boots. He found his coat in the closet, his scarf on a chair in the dining room and his gloves on the vent where he put their after he went out side the day to dry. But he just couldn't seem to find his boots. Meanwhile Wufei and Trowa put on their things and watched as the braided boy searching for his missing boots.
"Maybe they're upstairs or at the back door." Suggested Wufei Duo just looked at him and nodded as he headed to the back door still calling for his boots like he was calling for a dog.
"Boots where were are you come out where ever you are boots, boots come on where the fuck are you? I was wearing you the other day where did you walk of to?" Said Duo, as he searched around the back door no luck they weren't there. Trowa and Wufei looked at each other and laughed. Duo was always the strange one of the pilots. You never really know what he's going to do next. Just then Duo dashed up the stairs to look upstairs footsteps could be heard of Duo wondering around upstairs. Then all of a sudden aloud yell could be heard from upstairs "BOOTS!" Duo yelled as he came bouncing down the stairs nearly tripping on the last step. "I found them!" the braided boy said smiling as he bent over to put them on. His long braid falling over his right shoulder
"Where were they?" Trowa asked as Duo started to lean back up 'nice ass hey wait a second when did I start to think that Duo had a nice ass? Oh boy I'm loosing my mind!' thought Wufei to himself. Duo flipped his braid back.
"They were in the bathroom of all places I have no Idea how they got there though I could have sworn I took them of at the door." Duo said as he rubbed his head in confusion. "Oh-well are you guys ready to get a big green Christmas tree? And find some decorations and to have whole lot of fun! Hee hee Snow! Lot of white wet fluffy snow! Oh ya we still need an ax or a bit saw to cut down the tree once we find the perfect one. I don't think a stake knife will do." Said Duo all hyper and existed.
"There's an ax outside by the window I saw it there yesterday." Said Trowa with a smile. Duo gave Trowa a big happy smile "So can we go now it's getting a little hot!"
"Ya Duo" Said Wufei. Duo smiled even wider, how he managed that they had no clue.
"Let's go Wu-Kun and Tro-Chan, the snows a waitin for Siningami!" Said Duo as they all piled out the door. It was still snowing outside the sun was up not that you can tell with all the clouds in the sky it was about 3:00pm so they had a few hour of daylight left. Trowa went over to get the window to get the ax and Wufei walked ahead into the woods full of bushy pine trees. Just then Duo took advantage of Wufei's back being turned and threw a huge snowball the Chinese pilot. At that Wufei turned around to look for his attacker.
"Hey, Duo Injustice! Your dead!" yelled Wufei. Trowa just looked at them with his green visible eye dancing with laughter.
"Oh my God! Wu he got'cha good that time!" Trowa said through a fit of laughter "serves you right for having your back turned on Duo ha ha!" Just then Wufei threw a snowball at Trowa but he dodged it. "So that's how you wanna play it eh?" taunted as he picked up some snow and packed it into a snowball, Duo doing the same. Duo and Trowa looked at each other for a second right before they threw the snowball both came in contact with wufei, One him in the chest, the other in the stomach. Both Duo and Trowa started laughing at the snow covered Chinese boy.
"We got you we got you ha ha Wu-man! Nah nah!" Duo said doing a little happy dance. Duo's braid was dancing with him swinging all around him, his arms up above him swinging in the air; he jumped up and down for about 4 minutes not aware of what was about to happen. /That little braided idiot and that clown think that they can make a fool out of me eh! Well I'll teach them starting with the dancing Duo! Come to think of it Duo's is amazing and truly breathe taking and is ass there is not one word in any language that can describe its perfection. Whoa! / Wufei thought to himself as he smirked evilly. Wufei picked up some snow and formed it in to a snowball and threw at Duo, hitting hi right in the ass. /Oops I didn't mean to hit him in the ass but owell! / He thought again. Trowa looked back and forth between the two other pilots laughing. Duo was stunned he didn't expect to get hit let alone in the ass! He turned around and saw Trowa laughing And Wufei smirking Duo narrowed his eyes at Wufei as he removed the snow from his butt. Wufei bet down to get more snow and patted it into a snowball and threw it a very shocked Trowa in the stomach. Trowa looked at Wufei he wasn't expecting to get hit but that showed him not to let his guard down! Wufei definitely looked pleased with himself! Then Duo and Trowa grabbled some snow and threw it at Wufei, only Duo's snowball made contact with Wufei's body. Then all three of the were randomly throwing snow at each other laughing like crazy as they fought playfully. About a half an hour later Duo spoke up, "Hey guys we gotta get the tree be for it gets dark!" he said laughing Trowa and Wufei stopped at the word tree. And they nodded in agreement. All three of them brushed the snow of themselves and went of to the small forest of pine near the safe house.
"How about that one Duo?" Wufei asked as they past a tree. So far the last 20 Christmas trees weren't perfect.
"Nah not enough branches in the back." Duo said examining the tree. "Hang on a sec see that tree over there it's perfect! Come on lets get it! The sun is about to go down by the looks of it we only got like a half an hour before the light goes!" duo said as the jogged over to the tree.
Trowa looked over the tree Duo had selected it was perfect then Trowa looked over to Wufei and smiled. Wufei smiled back with a slight blush. /Trowa is beautiful, his nose is all rosy from the cold it's cute. Oh Duo his hair it's so beautiful how it sways when he walks and brushes his ass. /Wufei thought to himself. "So is this the one?" Trowa asked Duo and Duo nodded. "Ok stand back!" Trowa said as he took a swing at the tree with e ax. After about 5 minutes of chopping the tree came crashing down. "Timber" Trowa yelled. 'Crash' could be heard when the tree hit the snow below it.
"YAY! We gatta tree we gatta tree hehe!" Duo yelled at the top of his lungs. "Ok now all we gatta do is drag it back to side the safe house. That shouldn't be hard since we didn't go far I can see the house from here! The hard part is the tree looks heavy!" Duo, Trowa, and Wufei grab the tree and drag it slowly to the safe house. The sun is setting; the pilots are loosing the light.
"Man this thing is heavy! Duo you really know how to pick 'em!" Trowa said.
"Ya tell me about it! The smaller tree just over there looks just the same is this one why couldn't you just choose that one?" asked Wufei.
"It's not as bushy as this one. You are not goin to regret this guys, I promise!"
"Hm!" Trowa and Wufei said nearly in union.
The guys reached the safe house and drag the tree inside. They put it the living room in the corner next to the big comfy lazy boy chair. Wufei went to go get the Christmas decorations while Trowa was making hot chocolate for the three of them. Duo was starting a fire in the fireplace humming 'Oh Holy Night' Trowa smiled at the braided boy as put his hands near the now brightly lit fireplace. Duo looked worried about something but Trowa wasn't sure if he should ask or not. /oh what the heck! / Trowa thought.
"Duo, are you ok? You look worried! What's wrong?" asked Trowa voice filled with concern. Duo looked up at the green, eyed boy he adored so much! He stood up and walked over to the couch and sat down and motioned for Trowa to come over which he did and sat down next to Duo still eyes filled with concern Duo has never been this quiet before, well only when he's worried or upset about something big. "Duo."
"I'm ok I'm just wondering what's taking Heero and Quatre so long you know? They should have been back almost 2 weeks ago. Come on think about it! What if they're dead or something? WHAT IF THEY DON'T MAKE IT IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS! WHAAAAAA!" Duo said as he started bawling his head off Trowa looked at him wide eyed but he understood he was really worried to! Very worried! Trowa took the crying boy in his arms and held him there and stroked Duo's head to calm him down. /It's ok Duo I'll always be here! / Trowa thought to himself. /NANI? Why is Trowa being so so kind? Owell I'll just enjoy it while I can. / Duo thought Duo calmed down leaning into o the embrace after about two minutes Duo calmed down completely and was just enjoying Trowa's arms around him. Trowa noticed Duo had calmed down enough to leg go. He slowly withdrew his arms from around the braided boy. Duo grabbed Trowa's arms so he wouldn't let go of him He looked up at Trowa with a small smile and said, "Please don't let go Tro-Chan! Please just keep holding me!" With that Trowa tightened his embrace around Duo once again. Duo moved his arms up to hug Trowa back. They stayed like that hugging for a minute. " Trowa." Then Duo moved forward to Trowa and kissed him softly on the lips before pulling away from Trowa sitting straight up in the couch. Trowa was in shock he wasn't expecting the kiss. /Oh Duo, Ai Shiteru if only I could only tell you how I feel! / Thought Trowa. Duo was staring at his feet with a slight blush he wasn't expecting to do that but he didn't really care he really liked Trowa not that he'd ever tell him because he was afraid of recing the friendship between them if Trowa rejected him, but Duo kind of just did sort of. Trowa looked up at Duo with a bit of confusion on his face.
"Duo, what was that for? Why did you kiss me?" Trowa finally said finding his voice. Duo was stuck for words. Duo turned his head trying to find the word in side his head he feeling nervous. Duo looked down and swallowed hard it was now or probably never then Duo looked back up at Trowa and looked him in the eyes he loved so much then he began,
"Trowa I-Um-I-L-" Wufei's shouting coming from down the hall cut off Duo.
"I found them! Could one of you PLEASE give me a hand here maybe two there is a lot of boxes and they're VERY heavy! HELLO? DUO? TROWA? You there?" Wufei yelled at the top of his lungs! Duo stud up a bit relieved and yelled back,
"I'm coming Wuffie!" Duo turned to Trowa and said softy barley louder than a whisper "Ai Shiteru Trowa" and walked off to help Wufei the boxes of Christmas decorations. Trowa was just sat there dumb founded /he loves me he loves me! Wuffie? /
"Ai Shiteru Duo Ai Shiteru" Trowa said quietly to himself.
tbc...
End Notes: If you've seen my ficcy here posted on FF.net you can tell I just bunched the first three chapters into one. >_> I'll be doing that alot because all those small short chapters are enough to annoy me and I'm the author. It's also just a pain in the butt to make individual pages for all those small chapters. So if you notice I have a couple of short chapters sooner or later I'm going to make them one chapter.
