Notes: This is based on "I'll Be Home For Christmas" by Kim Gannon and Walter Kent. This is a sequel to "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)". There will be a total of 8 fics in this, coming up with a nice little Christmas series which I'll enter in the Holiday theme week. This is part 3.

//Duo... please forgive me. Forgive the fact that I made up such a dumb story as having to get the scoop on something.. what was it that I said? I don't remember, but it doesn't matter. I lied to you because I knew that if I stayed around, I might end up doing something that I regretted. I know that you can't possibly feel for me what I feel for you. But, I will come back to you on the off chance that you might.//
~I'll be home for Christmas~
~You can count on me~
Heero looked out the window of the small cabin nestled on the edge of a frozen lake. His eyes wandered to the muddy tracks his tires had left in the snow, only illuminated in the pale light of the moon. Wincing slightly, Heero lightly traced the pattern of ice on the window, faintly smiling at the similarities it held to a snowflake. //When did I fall in love with him? Was it yesterday? The day before? The day we met?// Leaning his forehead against said window, Heero tried to wipe the confusion from his mind. //When did I realize it was love?//
~Please have snow and mistletoe~
~And presents on the tree~
//All I want to do is go back there, gather him in my arms, hold him close, and never let him go. Is that too much to ask for on Christmas? Duo... all I want for Christmas is you.//
~Christmas Eve will find me~
~Where the love-light gleams~
Pulling away from the window with a far-off look glazing his eyes, Heero walked off to the bedroom for the hundreth time that day.
Entering the room, Heero went directly for his suitcase. Opening it, he picked up a small framed picture from inside and held it to his chest. //Why can't I let my happy times last? Is there something wrong with being able to smile?//
~I'll be home for Christmas~
~If only in my dreams~
Tensing slightly as emotion attempted to overcome him, Heero placed the picture on the bed and began to strip down. Neglecting to fold the clothing as it was shed, Heero sat on the bed in his socks and underwear and laughed momentarily. //If only Duo could see me like this. He laughs if I even put on a swimsuit. Doesn't he think I'm real, too?//
Lost in his thoughts of Duo, Heero unconsciously grabbed for the picture frame again, full with the portrait of a grinning boy with a braided whip for hair. Holding it with an unmoving arm, Heero slid into bed and shut off the lights that had burned bright all day long. //Tomorrow morning, Duo. That's when I head back to you. I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me.//
Owari. ^__~
