Pulling his coat up around his body Heero scanned the area around the entrance to the dorm. 'Why am I looking for him? Why did he look for me last night? I should forget about him, but I can't. It seems like I can't even for a moment forget about him.' Closing his eyes Heero could see those eyes that smile. 'Where could he have gone? I need to find him. I need to see him.' Heero began walking away from the building.


//There is something special
About this time of year
The Christmas feeling's everywhere
I just got home to join you
I've been away to long//

Heero wondered into the park as the sun peaked in the sky. The white snow around him gleamed. He made a point to follow no particular path. He weaved in and out of trees seeing couples all over cuddled close together.


//But now I'm back to share my love
Friends are reunited
One big family filled with love
To last through out the year//

In his heart Heero wished the couples he saw were he and Duo. His eyes scanned the benches. Suddenly they laid themselves upon a boy with violet eyes and chestnut hair. Heero crept closer and looked at the boy. 'Why is he just sitting there?' He wondered.


//Christmas time
Time to share our love
Come and join
The tidings to the world
Christmas time
The best time of the year
Yes, it's Christmas time
Oh, oh Christmas time//

Heero then noticed something as he stared. The small boy was shaking. 'Was he cold?' Then he saw something else, tears. 'Did I do that?' He wondered. 'What if I did?'


//You and me together
A sleigh ride in the park
Loving kiss straight form my heart
Snowflakes are falling gently
The smell of chestnuts in the air
And Christmas lights, they gleam across the sky
It's Christmas time//

Heero emerged from where he was hiding, and walked toward the bench. He took a seat on the opposite end of Duo. He could hear the boy cry. It pulled at him.

'Hold him you baka', his conscious told him.

'I couldn't', he fought back.

'Yes you can!' It demanded.

He slid close, that was when Duo first noticed he was even there. Duo wiped his eyes quickly. Turning he looked at Heero with a red face where the tears used to be just moments ago.


//Christmas time
Time to share our love
Come and join
The tidings to the world
Christmas time
The best time of the year
Yes, it's Christmas time//

Heero inched closer to the upset boy. Suddenly he felt a head lay against his shoulder. Looking down he saw the top of Duo's head. Reaching back, Heero place his hand on Duo's arm. Duo placed all of his weight on him, not holding anything back. Again the tears began to fall this time landing on Heero's coat.

"Shhh," Heero seemed to hear himself say. He gently patted Duo's arm and pulled him closer.


//Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Everything felt so right
When I held you close to me
Do you remember those cold Christmas nights?
Where we saw the world in harmony?//
