Duo opened his eyes, getting up he walked into the bathroom. Looking in the mirror he saw bags under his eyes and how his eyes were blood shot. He didn't get much sleep last night, in fact he spent most of the night tossing and turning in his bed. The events from yesterday thrashed at his brain. He hurt so badly after Heero hissed at him. It wasn't a physical pain but an emotional one. 'He shouldn't cause me pain like that, but he does. I couldn't sit there a moment longer. I avoided him the rest of the day; I couldn't look at him. Tonight is the party and tomorrow is Christmas.' This would be another Christmas he spent alone, and lonely. Returning to his room after a long hot shower, Duo discovered Heero's bed was empty. He decided he needed some music, maybe that would help dissolve all of his pain and problems. A song began to play as Duo pulled his outfit for the party out of the closet. It was in a black bag. Hanging the bag on the bedpost, Duo stared at it. Deep inside he felt very lost and unsure.
//Where are you Christmas
Why can't I
find you
Why have you
gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to
bring me
Why can't I
hear music play//
Duo let out a deep sigh. He figured it would take him most of the day to get ready. He didn't mind that, what he wondered was why he was so concerned for his appearance. He used to never care but today it mattered. In fact it mattered the most.
//My world is changing
I am rearranging
Does that mean
Christmas changes too
Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you
used to know
I'm not the
same one
See what the
times done
Is that why you
have let me go//
Duo pulled on his outfit for the evening. The material rubbed gently against his skin sending chills down his spine. Picking up his brush he pulled it gently through his long strands of chestnut hair. Tonight he would not tie it up in its usual braid allowing it to hang around his face. Upon looking in a mirror her discovered he was finally ready to go.
It only took him five hours. 'Not to bad,' he thought. Grabbing his large overcoat he pulled it on. Walking out the door he let the song continue on it's own into the empty room. Even though he was not there he could still hear it.
//Christmas is
here everywhere
Christmas is
here if you care
If there is
love in you heart and your mind
You will feel
like Christmas all the time//
Duo showed his invitation to the two men standing at the main doors. One nodded his head and pushed the door open allowing Dou to enter the mansion and escape the falling snow. Looking around he spotted people all over talking amongst themselves. A young man approached him, asking for his coat. As he pulled off his overcoat the young man became quiet and showed a stunned expression on his face. Duo handed him his coat and walked into the main hall.
As he walked toward the ballroom where the main party was, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at him as he passed by. Upon entering the ballroom he gained the attention of everyone in the room. A smile spread across his face.
Looking down upon them he notice Wufei standing alone, Trowa and Quatre standing together talking. All eyes were on him, he loved it. But something deep inside wished a pair of them were Heero's cobalt blue.
'Could he face Heero now?' Then he felt it, that intense stare. Heero was here and he was looking at him. Unexpectedly he felt something in his heart that just seemed to fall into place. Something that felt so right. Looking down the white marble stairs he saw a figure standing there.
It was Heero, he was dressed in a black tuxedo. He looked very handsome. Duo was surprised to see Heero in such an outfit but it seemed to suit him perfectly. Duo slowly walked down the stairs to the ballroom floor. He noticed Heero's hand was outstretched to him. Taking it, the world seemed to stop nothing moved not even the wind.
//I feel you Christmas
I know I found you
You never fade away
They joy of Christmas
Stays here
inside us
Fills each and
every heart with love
Where are you Christmas
Fill your heart
with love//
