** I don't own Gundam… I don't want to own Gundam…. Please.. don't give me fiery reviews …. I didn't force you to read this…
*Heero*
Sometimes I wonder….. why has my life turned out the way it has? Why does Heero have to be the serious one? Why do I have to be the lone desperado? Why can I not find pleasure or content in my heart? I feel empty sometimes…. Even when Relena smiles at me, why can't I smile back? Do I find it fulfilling to make her heart ache?
*Heero was walking along the road one cold winter day… pondering these questions to himself.. He put his hands in his pockets and breathed a cloud of fog. People everywhere were celebrating the season, and getting ready for X-mas. People put mini Christmas trees on their balconies… while children ran about, throwing snowballs..
*Heero*
Glances at the children.. Why can't I have fun like that? Did I ever have fun like that?
Watch out Mr.!!!!
A flowerpot, containing a Christmas tree hits Heero on the head..
Crraaaaasshh!!!
*Duo*
poor chap..
What was he thinking? (turns to Quatre) don't tell him I said this but, Man! That is so classically degrading!(laughs)
*H: (opens eyes ) I heard that.
D: uh.. (sweatdrops…)
H: (smiles)
The gundam crew backs away carefully…….
W: what's so funny?
H: My accident of course! it was kinda funny….
D : ooookay… Sure you're not mad?
H: yup ^_^
*Relena walks in…
R: oooh Heero!!! (gives Heero a hug) I was worried..
*^_^ Heero smiles up at Relena.
R: ooh he's acting so nice..
H: Don't worry.. I'm fine now. Relena.. they are letting me leave the hospital tomorrow morning.. I'd like to see you.. I'll call you.
R: (have wide eyes… then nods)
H: aaah! I'm late!
Heero had scheduled to meet with Relena around 10:00. But on the way to buy flowers, he was looking at the animals at the pet store…
Relena sits in the park, waiting, when suddenly she spots Duo.
R: Duo!!!! (waves )
Duo looks over..
D: hey Relena! (walks over to her and sits down next to her) How's it going?
R: fine thankyou.. I'm just waiting for Heero. He wanted to meet me here.
D: (imitates Heero and lowers voice comically) Yes Relena.. come meet me in the park, (kisses her hand) and we can spend the whole day together.
R: (pulls her hand away slyly and starts laughing.) oh Duo, stop it! (whaps him playfully on the head)
Heero sees Relena and Duo laughing together..
*H*
Jealousy fills his mind..
What is he doing flirting with Relena?! Grr… She's mine!
(walks over to them)
H: oh hey Duo, Hi Relena. ^_^
D: Heero! Where have you been? You're girlfriend here has been lonely!
H: (pulls out flowers) these are for you Relena. (gets a sad look on his face..)
R: Heero what is it?
H: Relena, I'm awfully sorry bu-(Relena sticks her finger in front of his mouth)
R: It's ok Heero, I understand. We'll go out another time ^_~!
H: Thanks.. Do you want me to walk you home?
R: No that's quite all right. I'll send for a cab. (Relena waves and walks off)..
D: (stands up next to Heero) that's one hell of a girl you got there. She's so understanding. So.. What's up man? Why couldn't you go with her today?
H: I'll tell you at my place.. (looks around secretly, like someone might be listening)
D: oh. I got ya.
They are at Heero's place and Duo sits down on the couch.
D: so what's up?
H: (glares at Duo) Are you interested in my girlfriend?
D: N-n-nnnoo man! What gave you that idea?
H: So you're not interested in my girlfriend?
D: yes…I mean no.. or um yes? I'm not interested in your girlfriend or anyone else's girlfriend! Don't worry!
H: (sits down next to Duo) How about boys? (leans over him and gives him a passionate kiss)
Duo is alarmed at first, but for some reason, continues to kiss Heero. They break apart and Duo just stares at Heero. "I thought you were interested in Relena?" Heero smiles and continues to kiss Duo, gradually leaning him over on the couch. Duo holds up his hand for Heero to stop. "Don't you feel bad? Duo asks, "What will Relena think?" Heero smiles jokingly, "I bet she's ask why we didn't invite her over." Heero proceeds to unbutton Duo's shirt…………
Duo is working as a tour guide, at the lake, to earn some Christmas cash. Trowa is surprised to see him, and approaches him.
T: hey Duo, you workin' now?
D: naw, I'm done for the day.
T: Good. I wanted to see you.
D: (turns toward Trowa) Look Trowa, I'm not interested in you that way.
Duo feels bad, because he told Trowa earlier that he wasn't homosexual, and that he probably would never be. And after last night's excursion with Heero, he feels like he is lying.
T: Please just give me a chance!
D: Ok. Come over to the workshop, and if I change my mind…
Trowa is shocked and nods his head.
Duo was sure that he wasn't going to change his mind, so he felt it safe. Plus there would be extra help working on repairing his Gundam.
**Heero*
That will keep him away from Relena! He he!
D: Hey man! You're gonna help me with my Gundam right?
H: yes. I will help you.
Trowa walks in.
T: Heero, Duo, how's it goin'?
D+H: Fine.
They work on the Gundam for many hours. Duo is getting nervous, because Trowa isn't leaving. They finally decide to take a break and eat dinner. They sat down at the round table and began to eat. Duo slurped hastily at his New England Clam Chowder, while Trowa and Heero ate some rice quietly. Duo is alarmed when he feels a foot nudging against his leg playfully.
D: God… Who did that? Heero or Trowa?
He looks at both of them, one after another… he gets nervous when they both grin.
D: Jeez! Who is doing that!? I am so not interested!
Both Heero and Trowa put on of their hands, which are underneath the table, on Duo's thighs. Duo stands up suddenly. He gasps for air.
D: um.. uh.. I gotta go um somewhere… (He runs out the door really fast.)
Heero and Trowa have wide eyes. Then they both stand up suddenly.
H: (pounds his fist on the table) (has an angry look) You scared him away!!
T: No you did!
They both look at each other with sweatdrops and wider eyes.
T: You!? Serious, grumpy Heero? You're in to this kind of fetish?
H: And you?
H+T: Don't speak of this to anyone!
They glance at each other with one eye. Then suddenly they rush to each other and start making out. Trowa starts kissing Heero down his chest.
H: Trowa…
T: (continues to kiss Heero's chest and neck.) Yes (kiss) Heero?
H: Are you interested in Duo?
T: ( stops) Hmmmn Duo.. Well to tell you the truth, I was interested in you first.
H: (embraces Trowa) (whispers lying) Me too.
T: (glomps back and they walk to the bedroom.)
H: So you will end your relationship with Duo?
T: Of course Love…
Relena is dressed for cold weather. She sits on a bench and grips her purse tightly.
Q: Relena!
R: Quatre! Are you ready to go?
Q: Yeah! I love shopping! ^_^ I have to get my X-mas shopping done. Ooooh! Can we go to J.C. Penney's?
R: (nods) sure. ^_~
They walk down the street to the shopping plaza. It starts to snow.
R: Oooh! Look at that scarf! It's so cute!
Q: (bites his lower lip and smiles) Would you like it?
R: (eyes light up) Oh Quatre! Would you buy it for me?
Q: Uh huh, on one condition. (Relena nods) Please kiss me.
She stops, looks at Quatre and starts laughing playfully.
Q: I'm serious. (Relena stops and looks at him) We've been friends for a while. Best friends. I want to take our relationship further. I want to be your lover.
R: (has a confused look on her face.) I thought you were gay.
Q: (wide eyes) What?!? Thinks: no, I'm bisexual…
R: Well, you do enjoy shopping a whole lot!
Q: That doesn't mean I'm gay!
R: Oh. I'm sorry. But Quatre I- (Quatre wraps his arms around her and kisses her)
Q: Don't say anything Relena… (Kisses her again) (The snow falls all around…)***** (ooh look snow!) I want to date you.
Relena tastes a medicine like taste in her mouth and feels drowsy. She collapses in Quatre's arms.
Q: Don't worry Relena. I'll talk to Heero; I'll defeat him and win your heart.
Heero is one the phone, trying to call Relena and apologizes. But nobody answers the phone. Quatre walks in and waves. Heero hangs up the phone.
Q: Heero! (goes and hugs him.)
H: Quatre.. It's nice to see you again.
Q: Oh Heero, I've been terribly lonely.
H: Me too Quatre, I've missed you.
Q: I haven't seen you in days.
H: (smiles friskily) did you want to-
Q: (nods) and I need to talk to you.
Heero and Quatre are lying in bed, Heero is half asleep.
Q: Heero?
H: (doesn't turn over) yes?
Q: Do you love Relena?
H: (faces him) of course.
Q: Then why do you cheat on her with your multiple lovers?
H: Do you like her?
Q: Um…. Yes actually.
H: (sits up) Stay away from her. Relena is mine.
Q: You cheat on her!
H: And you're saying you'd stop all your relations, if you were her boyfriend?
Q: yes. Of course!
H: (rolls over) Get out.
Q: Lets let Relena chose. (Puts pants on)
Quatre goes home and he sobs on the couch.
