Heero smiled happily, pulling Duo futher into the embrace. //I never thought I could be this happy... and... this is what it could be like every day... if only I could just...//
Pulling back, Heero took a deep breath, preparing to tell Duo just how he felt, when he noticed something. "Your hair is down."
~Everything is different, but nothing has changed~
~Now we're going in circles, it's Christmas again~
Duo blushed. "Yeah... I brushed it all out earlier and my arms got sort of tired, so I just didn't braid it back up yet." //You looked like you were going to say something else, Heero... What was it?//
Running his figers down the smooth hair, Heero's lips quirked into a bit of a grin. "I missed you, y'know. And, I've got something to confess."
~Can't you hear the sleigh bells ring, all our voices unite~
~And look up to the heavens, see the stars shining bright~
Duo smiled, and urged Heero over to the window seat, sitting down next to him and looking up at the starry sky occasionally. "What were you going to say, Heero?"
Biting his lip, Heero leaned his forehead against the window. "I... I lied to you, Duo."
"What?" Duo's eyes were wide in disbelief. "About what? What... you didn't miss me?"
Heero shook his head. "No. I did miss you. Terribly... but, I didn't get called away to do a story."
"Oh."
"I..." Heero began.
Duo cut in. "Why?"
Rubbing his temples with callused fingers, Heero tried to make sense of the words forming in his head, then abandoned them. They were all at least partial lied anyway. "Because... I knew that if I stayed here, I'd probably do something I'd regret."
"Like what?" Duo was leaning forward trying to look into his eyes, and the emotions underlying their watered brilliance broke the wall that Heero Yuy used to keep himself separate from everything else.
Leaning forward slightly, and letting his hands drop to the windowseat, Heero moved in closer to Duo and spoke. "Like this." He pressed forth the final few inches and felt his lips touch Duo's, letting his arms snake around Duo to pull him closer, relishing the heat, and the sensation, and the emotions that overwhelmed him.
~Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time~
~Somehow you gotta know you're gonna be all right~
Pulling back when he realized Duo wasn't trying to pull away, Heero tried on a confused expression for size. "Like... like that."
Duo smiled. "You'd regret that?"
Heero nodded, still trying to figure out what was happening.
Duo's smile widened. "Good. That means I can regret this." He leaned forward and reawakened the kiss, sliding his own arms around Heero's neck.
~Do you really remember how it used to be~
~Sitting under the Christmas tree, in your heart~
~You'll find the season, oh, oh~
//Heero... in your arms... I feel like I'm about to explode. Everything in me wants to ravish you and kiss you forever and always hold you close and just have you here... You... The past two Christmases were nice. I knew you, I saw you, I fell in love with you... but, now... this is perfect... because, I *have* you.//
~We've been blessed by the children, black, yellow and white~
~They believe in the things, we try to deny~
"Aww!!!" Heero and Duo broke apart, looking for the source of the sound. Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Sally, Zechs, Noin, Lady Une, Catherine, Rashid, Dorothy, Relena, Hilde... They were all there, wearing approving smiles.
Heero blushed slightly under their gaze. "Hi. I'm back."
Wufei laughed. "So we see. Thanks. Maybe now Maxwell will quit trying to sit the lumps out of all the chairs and beds in the house."
Duo wrinkled his nose. "Thanks, Wufei."
"Don't mention it." Wufei slid an arm around Sally's waist and grinned madly.
Quatre stepped forward. "We're going out to sing Christmas carols now, guys. You want to come?"
Trowa stepped forward as well. "Quatre... Heero just got back. I don't think singing is on their minds."
Duo grinned, biting his lower lip in what begged to be called an obscenely adorable manner. "You guys go on. We'll be here when you get back... just have to talk about some stuff, y'know?"
With no futher conversation, the carolers smiled, waved, and left, leaving Heero and Duo sitting beside an ice-patterned window.
~Oh so throw down your weapons, but continue the fight~
~And let's love one another on this holy night~
"Welcome back, Heero. Oh, and, I forgive you, even though I did nothing but mope while you were gone."
Stroking Duo's hair, Heero held him close. "Thank you for your forgiveness. I think that's the second most precious thing you could give me."
Duo nodded. "So, my virginity is the most precious, right?"
Heero raised an eyebrow. "You're a virgin? Wow. Didn't know that. But, anyway, no. Love is the most precious thing." Duo looked at him, ready to say something. "Your virginity is maybe, oh, fifth on the list?"
Duo grinned. "Hey! It's more precious than that! And, what about your sweet bottom? You ever done the down and dirty?"
Heero shivered. "Not by choice."
Duo kissed him softly. "I'm sorry. How long ago?"
"Years and years, but I still remember it. But, I'm pretty much over it, I think. Besides..." Heero trailed off.
"Besides... what?"
~Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time~
~Somehow you gotta know you're gonna be all right~
"I love you, Duo, and that makes all the difference."
Duo stroked the hair at the nape of Heero's neck. "That it does. And... I love you, too."
"Does this mean that if I'm a good boy, I can ask for nookie for Christmas?"
Duo giggled. "Only if you'll accept it as an early present."
Heero's eyes were wide. "Nani? I mean, what? I was... joking... mostly..."
~Do you really remember how it used to be~
~Sitting under the Christmas tree, in your heart~
~You'll find the season, oh, oh~
Continuing to stroke Heero hair softly, Duo kissed him firmly. "First of all, Heero, I do know a bit of Japanese. Secondly, I'm very much so in love with you and attracted to you. Thirdly, I have wanted you to be my first since, oh, about two years ago."
~Oh, reach down inside your heart and see all the love~
~Oh, in your heart you'll find the season~
"Hai. I feel the same. You just... I see you and the next thing I know, I'm tensing all of my muscles so that I don't run up and molest you."
~Everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmas time~
~Somehow you gotta know you're gonna be all right~
"Heero... it's not molesting if I want it." Duo kissed him gently.
"And, do you want it?" Heero kissed back with a bit more force.
Duo nodded. "Right now? More than anything. That whole little 'let's consummate the relationship' deal? That's what I want right now."
Heero grinned. "Anything you want, you got it."
"Can we go steal the pumpkin pie and have fun with it?"
Grinning, Heero slid off the seat and smiled. "Maybe after dinner. For now, how about just the whipped cream? No one will notice that missing."
~Do you really remember how it used to be~
~Me loving you and you lovin me, in your heart~
~You'll find the season~
Appearing to think for a moment, Duo shook his head. "Nah. We'll skip the foodstuffs at the moment. For now, we'll just go for the real treat."
Heero smiled, picked Duo up into his arms. "Would you mind terribly if I carried you over the threshold first? I'm a man of tradition."
"Oh, please do, Heero. Tradition is always nice."
Nuzzling at Duo's neck, Heero breathed in his scent and felt emotion welling up within him, knowing love, truly, for the first time. "Tradition is nice. And, so is Christmas. So are you. Thank you, Duo."
"For what, Heero?"
"For making this the best day of my life."
~Oh Everybody need a little lovin' around Christmas time, a little lovin'~
"How about we get upstairs now, huh? You're turning me on."
Heero chuckled. "The things you say... I love you, Duo Maxwell."
"And, I love you, Heero Yuy. Now, let's get upstairs. Your bed... my blankets would get in the way of post-coital snuggling."
"Nani?" Heero's eyes were wide.
Duo smiled. "I like to cuddle. Get used to it." He threw his arms around Heero's neck as an example.
Heero smiled back. "I think I can get used to this."
Owari. ^__~
