Duo's cries and pleas pierced the air. Looking up from the boy he clutched tightly to, he saw several people standing in the doorways around him.
"Help me!" he pleaded to them. One older woman looked down at him then at Heero. Stepping out of the door she turned to several other girls.
"Marie, Elizabeth, and Helena get that boy off the floor and back to his room. Anne, and Sylvia help me with the other one he looks very worn out and flustered," she commanded. The six women helped the two boys. They reached the room rather quickly. Placing Heero on the bed and Duo in the nearby chair.
"Thank you," Duo said to her.
"It's not a problem. Let's go," she replied pushing everyone out of the room and shutting the door.
Turning to Heero, Duo stared at him, "How did you get out there?"
"I was looking for you," a horse whisper spoke, causing Duo to jump.
"Your awake!" Duo said jumping up and running over to the bed.
Turning his head Heero stared into Duo's face, "Yes."
"Are you okay?" Duo asked not even realizing what Heero had first said.
"I think so. My muscles are sore," Heero replied trying to sit up. Duo instinctively reached out to help him. When Heero didn't protest he placed his hands gently under Heero's arms and pulled him up slowly.
"Well you were you beaten pretty bad," Duo explained, the concern peaking in his voice. Reaching out Heero pushed some of Duo's loose hair out of his face. His fingers rubbing Duo's cheek gently.
"Thanks," his voice was heavy.
"Your welcome," Duo spoke almost incoherently.
"What time is it?" Heero asked, his fingers still resting on Duo's soft cheek. Duo eyes sifted form the face in front of him to the clock on the table.
"2 a.m.," he responded looking back at Heero.
"Sorry I ruined your evening. Duo...?" Heero started then his voice broke off.
Duo wasn't sure what to say, "That's okay," he finally decided. The soft warm fingers of the one Duo loved in the whole world again caressed his cheek. Duo could feel himself losing touch with reality.
"Duo?" Heero tried again only he still couldn't finish his sentence.
"Yes," he mumbled, responding to Heero's touch.
"What did you want most from this party?" Heero finally completed it.
"What you do you mean?" Duo was unsure of what Heero was asking him.
"I mean, what did you want to do the most?" Heero tried to clarify only he wasn't really sure what he was looking for.
"I wanted to dance with..." Duo turned his head away from the boy in front of him, leaving Heero's hand in mid air, his voice lowering, "you."
"Duo, what did you want for Christmas?" Heero asked.
"Why are you asking me all these questions?" Duo responded completely turning away from Heero, his back to him.
"I don't know, I just wanted to know," Heero couldn't explain the truth of why he wanted to know. During his time in-between consciousness and unconsciousness he thought he heard Duo tell him he loved him. But he wasn't sure if that was the truth or his mind playing evil tricks on him.
"I want... you," Duo finally spoke breaking into Heero's thoughts.
Suddenly Heero felt something deep inside. The feeling was warm and comforting. Looking up Duo stood only a few inches from him. Reaching out his hand, Heero grabbed Duo's. Duo spun around quickly. Looking at Heero he saw something he had never seen on his face before, a genuine smile. Heero was actually smiling.
"Duo will you help me get to the ballroom?" Heero asked the shocked boy before him.
"Sure, but why?" Duo wondered.
"You'll see," Heero said trying to pull himself to his feet. Duo placed his arm around Heero's waist and pulled him up. Supporting most of Heero's weight they made their way to the large empty ballroom. Heero sat down on the steps to catch his breath. Looking at Duo, his gown still glowed in the moonlight that flooded into the room through the large windows. His hair rustled and tangled a bit from all the activities of the night. He wasn't wearing his heels anymore. Using the railing Heero pulled himself to his feet. Duo came to his aid only Heero put his hand up to stop him. Duo stood inches away his face showing his concern
Looking right at him Heero asked, "Can I have this dance?"
Duo thought about it for only a moment, "Yes." He didn't need anything but Heero.
Slipping into each other's arms they began lazily circling around the floor. Even though no music was playing, they heard music as they swirled around the floor. Duo could feel most of Heero's weight on him, but that didn't bother him at all.
//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
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
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
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//
'Thank you,' Duo silently told the night sky outside the windows.
"I wanted to dance with you too," Heero whispered in Duo's ear. Duo's eyes widened a bit more.
"I love you too," Heero said looking into Duo's soft violet eyes. A smile broke on Duo's face, 'he loves me too. He heard me tell him my feelings, he knew all along.' Duo couldn't respond all he could do was smile. Heero leaned in their lips meeting for the first time. The moon showed brightly highlighting the two in the empty dark room. Two souls finally coming together where they belong.
