"Do you want some help up?" Duo asked Heero

"Sure, thanks." Heero's voice softening a bit. Leaning down, Duo wrapped his arm around Heero's waist gently lifting, he pulled Heero to his feet. Trowa tried to assist, only his hand was knocked away Quatre took hold of the shunned hand, looking into Trowa's hurt eyes. Duo could feel Heero put his weight on him. It was a slow process getting from the ballroom to the large formal dining room.

After finally reaching the room Duo found the nearest chair to deposit Heero into. Heero slipped from his arm and sat down, the pain in him flaring a bit. Quatre and Trowa both took seats not too far away from him. Duo sat down next to him. Quatre clapped his hands twice and an older man appeared through double swinging doors at the other end of the room.

"What can I get for you sir Quatre?" he asked.

"Breakfast," Quatre smiled warmly.

"Yes sir," he replied.

"Also some for my guests," Quatre told him spreading his hands out.

"What may I get for you gentlemen?" he asked Duo and Heero.

"Well I want pancakes," Duo laughed.

"Get us three pancakes, two eggs over easy, and some toast," Heero told the man.

"Right away," he said turning and leaving the way he came. Duo turned and looked at Heero his eyes showing his shock at what Heero had done.

"What?" Heero asked, not looking away from the centerpiece that his eyes had focused on.

"Oh, I was just shocked that you ordered for me," Duo tried to explain.

"Shouldn't I have?" Heero asked his voice a little edgy.

"No it's fine," Duo smiled, tucking his arm around Heero's.

"Okay," Heero finally looked over at him. He looked so sweet and innocent, his eyes genuine and beautiful. He couldn't help but stare at that face the face he watched sleep at night. Leaning over Duo gently pecked Heero on the cheek. Turning his head slightly Heero's lips met Duo's soft tender ones. Duo could feel Quatre and Trowa staring at him he could feel himself turning bright red. Heero finally released Duo's lips and looked into that beautiful face. Duo giggled childishly, ducking his head he leaned against Heero burying his face between Heero's side and arm. He couldn't look at Quatre or Trowa, or he would burst out laughing. Suddenly a ringing sound caught his attention and he forgot about his embarrassment completely, as he sat up and looked around the room.

"That's just the hall clock chiming," Quatre explained to Duo's curious look.

"Oh," Duo replied looking into the hall.

The older man reappeared in the doorway, this time he was carrying a large tray. He set a plate of eggs and toast before Heero and a plate of pancakes in front of Duo. He then placed a waffle on the table in front of Trowa and french toast before Quatre. Duo grabbed his fork and dug into the pancakes before him. Syrup dripped down his chin as he stuffed a fairly big piece into his mouth. The other three boys stared at him with wide eyes.

"What?" he asked, bewildered, after swallowing his bite. All three started to laugh.

"What? What is so funny?" Duo asked again, his voice expectant of an answer.

"Nothing," Heero replied, stopping his laughter as fast as it had started. Taking a napkin he gently wiped the corner along Duo's chin. Both Quatre and Trowa stopped laughing almost simultaneously. They ate the rest of their breakfast in a strange silence; even Duo was quiet. After finishing the meal they sat there looking at each other, unsure of just what to say or do.

"There are presents under the tree. We could go open them," Quatre offered breaking the silence.

"Really?" Duo wondered, "Well, I bought some for you guys since it is Christmas and all, plus you invited me here to your home to spend Christmas Eve with you. They are in the room where Heero slept after the incident last night. I wasn't sure if I could stick them under your tree or not."

"Sure you can. Go get them we'll meet you in there," Quatre told him. Duo tried to hop up from his seat but his gown seemed to hinder him some.

"If you want to change there should be some clothes in the dresser in the room," Quatre told a fleeting figure as it tried to run down the hall.

"Actually there are some I have tucked away that I brought," Heero volunteered after Duo left. "Oh by the way where is Wufei?"

"He left last night. Do you want me or Trowa to go get the gifts for you?" Quatre asked.

"No. That's okay. You probably wouldn't be able to find them," he sighed. "I'll get them."

Pulling himself up, a pain shot through his side and up into his shoulder. He winced but continued on. 'This is nothing, so why is it bothering me so much,' he wondered. He limped out of the room, leaving Quatre and Trowa sitting there with looks of wonder on their faces.
