Snowflakes swirled round the beautifully decorated shot windows and brightly lit streets as a present laden figure walked towards a huge range rover. After placing the gifts in the boot and relocking the car a huge snowball hit the window next to the person, turning around there was just enough time to see a braided boy running away before another snowball hit it's mark. Wiping the snow from his face Heero bent down and scooped up his own ammunition out of the frozen substance. Duo had offered the challenge and now he would regret it. Smiling at this thought, Heero ran after his quarry.

Cold and wet Heero and Duo pushed open the door to their apartment, to be greeted by a small tree and the usual empty fridge.

"Take away?"

Duo looked at Heero and then at the pathetic contents of their fridge, through all the present shopping, they had neglected their usual buys

"Most definitely, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mexican, which do you fancy?"

Tossing the phone to Duo, Heero shrugged

"You choose"

A new voice filtered through the apartment from the now open door "There'll be no need for take away"

"Quatre!"

Heero and Duo arrived at Quatre's "house" some time later, with all the gifts they had bought and wrapped earlier

"You two know where your rooms are"

Smiling mischievously, Duo looked at Quatre with a faked bemused expression "Rooms?"

"What do you…Oh" Quatre blushed as he realized what Duo meant "Well, they are joining rooms if you remember"

"Don't worry Quatre, separate rooms wouldn't stop them" Trowa walked calmly in from the living room and whispered for Quatre's ears only "It didn't stop us now did it" This made Quatre's blush deepen.

Duo launched himself onto the huge bed, after dumping his duffle bag in the corner of his room, then shouted through the open joining door to Heero's room, who was putting away his clothes

"Hey, Heero!"

Heero appeared in the doorway, intrigued as to what Duo wanted

"Want an early Christmas present?"

Smiling slightly Heero nodded, not many people could say no to Duo, and Heero was one of these people, especially when it came to certain activities, he crossed the room quickly, crushing Duo's lips beneath his and pushing his braided lover back onto the pillows of the large bed to claim his 'present'.
