A classical song floated into the background, Quatreis had settled
down in one of the plush chairs that his blonde uncle had fallen
asleep in, his own zircon eyes shutting slowly as he watched his mama
and papa float across the dance floor. Quatre had his head curled
onto Trowa's shoulder, their arms locked around one another's hips.
Rashid and Catherine dancing close to their son, making sure their
rowdy angel had fallen asleep in a safe place and wasn't going to
wake up without them around. Not to everyone's surprise, Heero and
Relena were dancing slowly, the honey-colored woman's head nuzzled in
the crook of Heero's neck, the pilot pressing delicate kisses to the
woman's head. Zechs, or rather Milliardo was locked in a sever lip
lock with Lucretzia Noin and to everyone's surprise, Doctor Sally Po
and Lady Une were slow dancing together, earning an `strange-strange
onna's' from Wufei, who was hugging his braided love close.
"You know Wufei love?"
"No, I don't, would you care to elaborate?"
"Ah, sarcasm, have I told you that I love you today?"
Wufei smiled.
"I love you too Duo, forever and ever and ever."
Duo sighed happily, pressing a soft kiss to Wufei's nose, resting
their foreheads together.
"I--I think I have a much clearer mind now Wu-Chan…" Duo said with a
bright smile.
"Really?"
"Yep!" Duo said, pressing another kiss to Wufei's lips and breaking
away, flitting to the middle of the room, patiently-- or rather
impatiently waiting for the song to end. Finally, the man lifted up
the microphone, flipping the switch on and wincing at the screech it
let off.

"Oi… sorry about that!" The tiny boy started awake, glaring the best
he could, but failing, tears beginning to spill down his cheeks.
"Crap!!! Oh… Quattie, please… I'm sorry angel…" Catherine and Rashid
ran to their son's side, Rashid sitting in the chair with his wife
next to him, both cradling the boy in their arms as they silently
accepted the apology. Duo broke into a soft lullaby, flushing as
Heero wrapped his arms around the shorter woman before him and they
swayed to the sweet words, Trowa doing the same, resting his chin on
his husband's head, tightening arms around the boy's waist. Wufei
just looked, so proud, blowing kisses to his love as the words
flowed. Duo smiled wide as he received a thumbs up from Catherine,
noting that the boy had drifted back into a comfortable sleep. Rashid
lifted the boy into his arms and brought him to the nursery that
Quatre had prepared especially for them, not too far away from the
main party room. As soon as the Arabian man had returned, the party
began once again.

Duo turned the volume down a bit, seating himself on one of the
chairs and grinning softly as the others did the same. Quatre in
Trowa's lap, Noin sprawled across Milliardo, Sally and Une crossing
their legs across one another, Catherine leaning on her husband's
shoulder and Relena on Heero's lap, snuggling into his warmth, still
a bit shocked at his openness. Duo felt bad, Wufei was sitting all
alone until he stood, dragging his lover over and seating himself on
the warmth of his lap, snuggling in just for added torture.
"Duo--" Wufei started, no aggravation in the statement, simply humor.
"Okay, this is majorly embarrassing, so ya all have to tell me if you
like this song or not, I've been going over the lyrics these past few
days, since I have been here, and I want your opinions on how it is
so far… okay?"
Nods and `uh-huh's were what Duo got in response as he clutched the
microphone tight in his hands and leaned his head back against
Wufei's shoulder and closing his eyes.

Been here all alone
Waiting for the one
Thinking I have found him
My work is never done

Not knowing what I had
Was the worst mistake
Abusing me, I know
How much can I take

But I know you love me
I can see it in your eyes
Know you cannot tell me
Fill your world with lies

I was broken once
A toy to be thrown out
But anger met love
Turned your world about

Solitary as a dragon
Fierce as god himself
Fighting for what's right, not wrong
Playing cards that dealt

You saved me from my life
Love that wasn't meant to be
Alone and yet so quiet
You've captivated me

Indigo met Onyx
My heart melted to you
I love you babe, you know that
My love for you is true

You stopped me from breaking
Kept me smiling
Kept me goin
Keep my smiles all beguilin'
Keep me goin
Love you Fei.
