Onyx eyes blinked open, a smile split across his handsome features,
his arms twined around the lithe form to his left, did his dream
finally come true? Or was he physically violating his body pillow
again? A slight blush flooded his caramel cheeks as he focused his
gaze, smiling wider, if at all possible as Duo snuggled closer, their
bodies brushing up against one another delicately. Yawning indigo
eyes shot open, locking immediately with obsidian.
"Gods… it wasn't a dream…" Duo murmured, pressing a kiss to Wufei's
chin. The two rolled out of bed, and Duo yelped.
"OH GODS! OH GODS! WUFEI LOOK!!!" The braided man's eyes glazed over,
watching the snow fall as it blanketed the entire estate.
"Yay!!!" Duo pressed a long passionately-excited kiss to his love and
dragged the man from their room, knocking on all of the doors as they
ran down the hallways… rather Duo running and Wufei being drug. A
very--- exhausted Quatre slunk out of his room, Trowa walking at his
side, his head falling to the side. Heero-- growled and slammed his
door. Oh, he hadn't changed a bit. Coffee was placed in five cups,
the likeness of each of their Gundams on each person's personalized
mug.
"Its snowing!! Gotta be like-- I dunno--- 18 inches!!!" Duo squealed
as he started on his fourth cup of liquid caffeine. Wufei shivered at
the thought of an even more hyper Duo, but smiled a bit, it felt like
the old days… Duo-- just being Duo, Quatre and Trowa *always*
together, and Heero-- being the anal-retentive baka he has always
been.

Quatre smiled brightly, watching his own personal `slaves' which,
referred to themselves as the `Mangacks' delicately arrange tables
and the other settings in the large ball room on the first floor of
the Winner estate. The party was to begin within five hours, of
course, he was already tucked nicely into his tuxedo, thoroughly
excited that his party was going to ne the party of the year, and he
was pleased to be the only one who knew that Duo was performing a
song that no one had ever heard before.

Lights decorated the room, in such intricate ways, it seemed as if it
was alive… lights twinkling like stars across the ceiling, the room
was one in itself, soon to be filled with laughter and singing, love
and joy. Quatre sat in one of the many plush chairs that were around
the room, closing his eyes and imagining Trowa spinning him around,
holding him close… soon the blonde drifted into sleep, only to be
woken up when a small child with bright blue eyes and almost black
hair tugged on the blonde's wrist.
"Uncle Quatre! Papa and Mama are here!" Quatre blinked awake,
scooping his nephew into his arms and nuzzling the three-year-old
child of Rashid and Catherine to his chest. Catherine softly chided
the boy, laughing as she did so, Rashid curling an arm around his
wife's waist. Quatreis (( AN- That is pronounced `Cat-Tress, like
Tetris with out the `Te' ' Quat from Quatre, and Treis from three in
Spanish, thus concluding that three is for Trowa)) pouted and jumped
to the floor, standing before parents, straightening his little suit.
Trowa appeared from behind his sister, patting the young boy on his
head and helping Quatre to his feet.
"Angel, they're here…" Trowa said quietly, placing a kiss to Quatre's
neck.
" Daddy look!!!" The brunette exclaimed, tugging on Rashid's pant
leg. "Uncle Quatre blushed!!!" The child squealed.
The large Arabian man bent down and picked up his son, still, so
pleased that his shyness around women had prevailed, and Miss Bloom
had returned the feelings ten fold.
"Trinton?" Catherine said carefully, a wicked smile acrossing her
lips.
"Cathy?" Trowa answered just as sarcastically. The two began to laugh
as Quatreis squirmed from his father's grasp and darted around the
room, pulling Duo and Wufei one clad entirely in black, the other
entirely in white to where his parents stood.
"Ah, Quattie!" (AN- pronounced `Catty') Duo grinned, scooping up the
child and spinning him around until they both began to giggle. The
boy was a combination of an exotic French woman, her bright sea-blue
eyes, and a fine Arabian man, dark course hair, eyes almond shaped
and looking as if the child had black eyeliner on at all times.
Lighter than Rashid's skin, and a bit darker than Catherine's,
Quatreis smiled a bright smile before slinking into the grasp that
Duo had on him. The child beamed, breaking from Duo's grip and
attaching himself to Wufei's leg.
"Wufei!" The child squeaked, tightening his hold on the young man and
smiling adorably.
"Hai-hai little one…" Wufei said as he patted the boy's head,
tousling chocolate hair and smiling. Duo waved from the family,
welcoming the blondes who had entered the main room, arms hooked. The
bright eyed honey blonde woman wearing a dark blue evening gown, her
brighter eyed platinum blonde brother smiling as he pulled his
younger sister closer to his embrace, his black penguin-tailed tuxedo
swishing behind him, as he smiled one of his broad toothy-- almost
fang like smiles.
"Lena-Chan!!! Zechsy!" Duo grinned, kissing the outstretched hand
from Relena, and doing the same to Zechs. Both laughing.
"Du-Chan?" Relena questioned quietly.
"Hm?"
"Where is-- um-- Hee-Chan?" Duo shivered, sighing internally, then
smiling brightly as the cobalt eyed man walked up behind the two
Peacecraft's. Duo swallowed, then-- noticed the stoic man smile
briefly before removing the coats from both Relena and Zechs.
"Oh.." Relena said, a bit shocked as she spun around to see who was
taking off her jacket. Spinning a bit too quickly on her heels and
falling into the strong embrace. Heero scowled, his eyes locking with
Duo's for just a moment… seeming to convey-- something before helping
Relena to her feet. Duo-- to say the least-- looked-- very shocked.
"Relena-San?" Duo interrupted.
"H-hai?" The blonde said from her dreamy phase, Zechs already
flitting off to the main room to flirt hopelessly with Lu Noin.
"Can I borrow Heero for a hot minute?" The braided man said with a
convincing smile, twirling the end of his braid around his hand once.
"Of course!!!" Relena beamed falsely, her aqua eyes screaming `DON'T
TAKE HIM AWAY!!!'
"Arigato!" And with that, the black clad man clamped his hand around
Heero's arm, pulling him into the abandoned kitchen.
