Ribbons Down My Back
It was late in the morning when Duo awoke to an empty bed. He sat up and looked around the room. It was empty as well. He shrugged and got up. He dressed in his usual blacks and opened the top drawer of the chest and pulled out a small tin. He went into the bathroom to wash: that was empty too. Duo shrugged it off and looked into the mirror. His hair was a mess and he wanted to do something new with it. He opened the tin up and pulled out a mass of multi-coloured ribbons. Relena had given him them for his last birthday, as nobody else would buy him accessories for his hair.
His eyes gleamed brightly as he looked over all the coloured ribbons, black, white, green, blue, yellow, purple, grey, brown, red, orange, and pink. He tossed the pink one away and started to braid all the ribbons into his hair. As he did this he began to hum and finally sing:
"I'll be wearing ribbons down my back this summer.
Blue and Green and streaming in the yellow sky,
So, if someone special comes my way this summer
He might notice me passing by.
And so I'll try to make it easier to find me
In the stillness of July.
Because a breeze might stir a rainbow up behind me
That might happen to catch the gentleman's eye.
And he might smile and take me by the hand this summer.
Making me recall how lovely love can be.
And so I will proudly wear,
Ribbons down my back,
Shining in my hair,
That he might notice me."
Half way through the song Duo had finished braiding the ribbons into his hair and had started to dance throughout his apartment. He did not hear the front door close and Heero watching him in silent fury and embarrassment. As Duo finished the song standing on the top of the sofa, he looked at Heero and fell off.
"Duo, what are you doing?" Heero asked quietly. Not entirely sure as to whether or not he wanted to know.
"Nothing." He mumbled from the floor, a pile of black limbs and multi-coloured ribbons. "Ow. That hurt."
