It only took an instant for the words to sink into Duo's head. Realizing what had been said, Duo dropped Heero's hand and darted from the crowded room. As he emerged from the building the cold air crawled up his bare arms. He pulled his arms to his body trying to keep warm. 'Why did I do that? What is wrong with me? He would be a better roommate then anyone else. So why do I not want him anywhere near my room?' His teeth began to chatter from the chilling air. The white snow only made him feel colder.

Heero stood in the doorway, watching Duo. 'I finally know his name'. His eyes focused on the waving braid as Duo shook or moved. 'Does he realize how beautiful he is?' Heero wanted to go out and keep him warm, but he refrained from doing this. He didn't want anyone to know or see that he has a soft side. A side that cares for people, a side that would let tears fall or feel the pain of sacrifice. That is something he didn't want anyone to know existed.

Duo didn't understand what he was feeling or why he was feeling what he was feeling. He decided to go back to his room before his class. Walking quickly half to get out of the cold faster and half to beat Heero there.

Duo arrived at the dorm hall rather reluctant to go in. Entering the building he felt a strange longing. 'Longing what, what am I longing for?' He walked slowly down the hall, noticing that the door to his room was closed, but that didn't mean anything. He gently opened the door, peeking in he saw a duffel bag on the floor but the room was empty. Duo entered and shut the door behind him, hearing it lock. He let out his breath; it wasn't till then that he even realized he was holding it. Walking over to his stereo he turning it on hoping the music would clear his head. Duo plopped himself down on his bed. He sprawled himself out not really caring at the moment. The days events flashed through his brain. 'What is it about that boy?'

Heero gently slid the key into the lock, turning it ever so slightly the door unlocked. He turned the knob gently. Peeking his head in he saw Duo lying on the bottom bunk, his eyes were closed. Heero felt the urge to go and kiss him, but he refrained himself with all his might. He heard the music playing on the stereo on the left wall next to the desk, where the computer sat.


//Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special//

'Christmas huh, a little early but I won't complain,' Heero thought as a small smile spread across his usually emotionless face. He saw his duffel bag in the middle of the room where he had dropped it off earlier. Heero wasn't sure whether to go in or just stand there and admire.

//On Christmas Eve, I fell in love under a big fir tree. Meeting you made my heart feel on fire. I had no idea it was to fell like this.//

Heero decided to go into the room, maybe get a closer view of that beautiful boy. He pushed the door open and walked in making no sound. He quietly shut the door behind him; Duo seemed to stir a bit.


//Once bitten twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell my baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me//

Heero stood by the door a minute or so longer, then headed toward the stereo and desk. Duo suddenly sat up in the bed.

"I'll turn it off," he told Heero getting up. In his rush Duo forgot about the duffel bag in the middle of the room. He tripped clumsily, his thoughts went strait to how stupid he looked and how not fun it was going to be hitting the floor.


//Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying 'I Love You'
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fooled me again//

Duo could feel his face turning red as he fell. He closed his eyes cause he didn't want to see the disaster coming.


//Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
When you moved your mouth, suddenly it took me. I felt shy looking at you eyes. Your smile, so sweet kissed my lips so gently.//

'Why me? He is going to think I am such a baka. Why couldn't I have remembered one little thing,' Duo wondered sourly.


//A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again//

Suddenly Duo felt a pair of strong, stable arms wrap around him. Instead of falling into the floor he fell into Heero's arm. He had not noticed Heero stepped in front of him until he felt those arms. They held him strongly, almost protectively.


//Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special//

Duo's violet eyes looked up into a pair of cobalt blues. Their faces were inches apart.


//A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again//
