"Mr. Maxwell, there is someone waiting for you in the lobby." A waitress said to the head chef, Duo Maxwell at a very classsy and elegant restaurant in downtown Tokyo. Duo wiped his hands on his apron and said, "Thanks a lot." He hurried out, since that night, like every other was very busy. He reached the lobby and looked around. No one was making their way over to him. "Hm. That'd odd." He said to himself. Suddenly, he was tackled to the floor. "What the hell's the big id—Fei!!!!!!!!" Duo began before he noticed his long-time lover and wrapped his arms around him tightly. "You're finally back!" he exclaimed, hugging Wufei tighter.
Wufei had to help his parents move to China and was staying with them until they settled in. "I'm sure glad to see ya Fei but did'ja have to tackle me?" Duo asked as Wufei pulled him onto his feet. "The first day we met, you said I could get back at you for tackling me. Remember?" Wufei said, peering over his silver wire glasses. Duo grinned and planted a kiss on his lovers lips. "Of course I do! Come on inside—the restaurant is done being renovated and looks great!" he said, taking Wufei's hand and pulling him inside. "Wow you're right." Wufei mused as he was led around the restaurant.
Duo pulled him into the kitchen and said, "This is where I do all the cooking. They made it according to my individual needs. Fridge right next to the food processer, mixer blah blah." Duo said, moving in a clock wise direction around his cooking pad. Wufei smiled and walked over to the stove. "Duo…this crane and poem…" he began. Duo blushed and put his hand behind his head. "Yeah…I got awful lonely after you left. Once the renovations were done I put 'em both up. I've had them since you gave them to me years ago." He said softly. Wufei took Duo's hand and kissed it. "I've missed you so much. You know I wanted to stay here with you but they insisted—and they're getting old. But I'm finally with you once again." He whispered gently into his lovers ear.

"This is Trowa Barton reporting live from Tokyo. Back to you in the news room." Trowa flicked off the t.v. and blushed nervously. "Aw Trowa. Why are you embarassed?" Quatre asked. "Hundreds of people all over Japan just saw that newscast. How did I look?" Trowa asked. Quatre nudged his koi gently and smiled. "You looked absolutly delectable." He said, nipping at his ear. "But angel, that's you. You think I look 'delectable' after just waking up." Trowa replied. Quatre smiled and nuzzled into Trowa's lap. "If you want honesty why not ask me?" Catherine asked, who had just walked in the door. "How would you be able to see it if you were in the car?" Quatre asked.
Catherine set a plate of cookies onto the table as a house warming present and said, "Well I was going home when I passed by the huge screen in the square and lo and behold did I see my brothers charming face. Gods Trowa, the ladies are going to be awfully sad when they hear you already love someone." Trowa shook his head and caressed Quatres cheek. "Although I do feel a little quilty reporting your fathers death Quatre, I'm glad it was someone you knew." Trowa said. Quatre sighed and closed his eyes. "It doesn't matter. I stopped caring about him years ago and I wouldn't care if it were a heartless demon just like him telling the world he was dead. I'm just glad he is." He said softly.
Trowa nodded and held his angel close. "I promise I won't let you be hurt ever Quatre. You're mine and I won't be able to live if something happens to you." He whispered in to his angels hair. "You've been protecting me so long Trowa and I'm fine. I'll continue to be fine as long as you're always right here by my side." Quatre whispered.
As fast as new days come and old days go, we can fall in love. Never let go of the angel who stays in your heart through the old days and the new.
