Santa's Disappearance
Chapter 1
Heero ploughed through the crowd of people carrying Christmas presents in their arms. Many people stared at his ridiculous green outfit and hat. His annoying ugly shoes made jingly sounds every step he made and he was very tempted to just yank them off and throw them in the garbage. It really sucked to be an elf.
He had been walking for some time, trying to clear his head when he suddenly felt a small hand lightly reach into his pocket. With lightning quick reflexes he grabbed the intruder's hand and dragged the boy from the crowd of people to question him. He was angry as it was and some kid dared to try to steal from him.
"Hey! Slow down! Ouch! You have a really strong grip! Let go of me!" The boy complained loudly but everyone was too busy Christmas shopping and didn't pay any attention to them. The boy had incredible long brown hair tied up in a braid and looked to be around fifteen. He had big bright blue- violet eyes and was wearing an old priest outfit, probably stole it from a priest. Heero sneered at the boy, who would steal from a priest?
"Who are you and what do you think you're doing?" Heero already knew that the thief would deny everything or try to escape but he was in a horrible mood and needed to yell at someone.
"Duo Maxwell at your service and I was trying to steal your money" The boy said proudly causing Heero's blood to boil. Not only did the idiot try to steal his money but he was also smiling about it. Heero was just about to wipe that smirk off with his fist when he heard the boy's stomach growl. He glared but tossed the wallet to the longhaired boy and left.
He was surprised when a few minutes later someone grabbed his arm. Turning around, he saw that it was the thief from before.
"So, Mr. generous, what are you supposed to be in that ridiculous outfit?" Heero shook him off and continued walking but the boy followed no matter what he did.
"I'm one of Santa's elves" he finally said just so the boy could leave him alone but it seemed to have the opposite effect. He seemed to think that it was some sort of invitation to talk as much as he could.
"Santa's elf?" Duo's laugh was slightly bitter, "First of all, those spandex pants, though they really show off your gorgeous legs, they're probably really cold to wear in the winter. And second of all, aren't you too old to believe in Santa? I'm sorry to break it to you but Santa's dead. Actually, I don't think it's possible to die if you never existed in the first place!"
Heero frowned at this. This kid really was stupid, not believing in something that really existed. "Santa may be annoying, have a horrible sense of humour but he sure as hell isn't dead. And he exists," Heero glared at the boy as if challenging Duo to contradict him. Duo put his hands up in a mock surrender.
"Hey, no need to get upset. Okay, Santa exists if you say so. But whether he exists or not is not the point. The point is that he's too busy with the rich kids to have time to give anything to us street trash. I guess he thinks we're not good enough to get presents or something." Duo was pensive for a while before he erased the look with a bright smile, "So pointy ears, you got a name or would you just prefer to be called pointy ears?"
"Heero" the elf was feeling strange. Some part of him was tempted to beat the kid black and blue for thinking Santa was dead. and some other part was curious as to why the Santa didn't help these kids.
"Ok Heero. How about if I give you a chance to prove you're one of Santa's elves? I mean, those ears are pretty funky but for all I know it could be some sort of birth defect or something. With all the pollution in the world and toxic gases people are breathing everyday, I wouldn't be surprised to see a guy with two heads walking by. There was this one time, I was walking and some guy was begging for money so I gave the little I had and when he said thank you and goodbye I noticed he had seven fingers on one hand. I didn't ask him about it because we all know how rude it is to ask some stranger something that personal but it was a little scary if you know what I mean. And this other time, I saw and old lady walking by and do you know what colour her face was? It wasn't any colour I've ever seen! Well it was blue! Can you imagine that? Heero. Heero? Heero? Are you even listening to me? Heero?"
Heero was mesmerized by the boy in front of him. God, did he ever talk a lot! But the way he would move his hands around him crazily, gesturing animatedly about something or other made Heero unable to tear his eyes off of him. And the way his eyes would sparkle.And the way his lips moved . this boy was so different then anyone else he'd ever met. He was so alive! Suddenly, his mental musing was cut short when he felt water being dumped on his head. He sputtered angrily and saw Duo quickly hiding a dirty, broken cup behind his back. Next to Duo's feet was a little muddy germ infested puddle. Heero glared and Duo gave him his most angelic smiles.
