Silent Night
Chapter two - Shattered dreams and mistletoe
Quatre wondered aimlessly around the party, smiling at the guests and occasionally interacting in conversation, but only briefly. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, and all seemed to be happy. So why did he feel so isolated and alone?
"Hey Quatre. . . why you look so depressed?" asked Trowa, resting an arm on his shoulder.
"Huh? Oh, I'm not depressed!"
"Quatre, you should know by now, you can't get things past me!"
"It's nothing Trowa!" Quatre snapped, "Shouldn't you be with the braided baka!" Quatre added bitterly. Trowa looked at the blonde with confusion for a moment, before walking away. The Arab boy cursed himself for snapping at Trowa before noticing Heero, sitting on his own, looking quietly proud of himself. Quatre approached the Japanese pilot and smiled broadly at him. "Mind if I sit next to you?"
"It's you're house." Heero replied flatly.
"Why are you all alone? Aren't you enjoying the party?" Quatre asked as he sat down.
"I'm always alone, Quatre." Heero said, turning to acknowledge the pink clad Quatre. "Look out there. Everybody has somebody. Everybody but me. . ." Heero trailed off.
"I don't have anyone either, Heero." Quatre said, trying to be supportive.
"Even Wufei! Look at him! If he was sitting any closer to Sally, he would be on top of her!" Heero exclaimed. "I guess, as much as this hurts to say, Relena is right. She loves me, and I guess she will be the only one. Since Duo left me. . ." Heero trailed off again. Quatre set his hand gently on Heero's shoulder,
"Heero, don't worry. There is someone for everyone." Quatre paused, "And Heero, I know that someone else, that isn't Relena, loves you. I know it for a fact." Heero turned his body towards him.
"Who?" Heero asked confusion on his face. Quatre smiled shyly and stood up in a swift, clean movement.
"I. . . I can't tell you that. You see, this person, he doesn't wanna destroy the friendship he already has with you." Quatre said, turning away from the Perfect Soldier. He had only taken a few steps away when Heero's voice stopped him.
"Quatre?"
"Yes?" he responded, but did not turn towards Heero.
"Can you tell that person, whoever he is, to just talk to me. Because, he never knows, I may feel the same way." Heero said, grinning in spite of himself. Quatre turned his head slightly,
"Okay Heero." He replied before he disappeared into the crowd of the party. Heero sat further back, smiling. He knew exactly who it was, and, for awhile now, had been feeling the same way about Quatre Raberba Winner.
***
"Duo! Put that down!" Trowa snapped, as he walked over to the Shinigami. Duo was in the process of pouring a large bottle of vodka into the fruit punch. "You know what Quatre said this morning! He doesn't want alcohol at his precious Christmas party!"
"Trowa..you are ruining my fun!"
"Sorry Duo..but, lets not annoy Quatre. At least not tonight, okay?"
"Fine.." Duo retreated. "But, you owe me!"
"Huh? How do you figure that?"
"You ruin my fun of getting everyone here wasted, so, you owe me..something more fun.." Duo said with a wicked smirk.
"Oh really now?" Trowa said, an eyebrow raised. He smiled back at Duo. Duo nodded and lent over, kissing Trowa softly. "You are everything I want for Christmas." He whispered in Duo's ear, wrapping his arms around him, pulling him into a close embrace.
"I love you, Trowa."
"I love you too."
"Uh.Trowa?" Quatre interrupted
"Quatre, you going for the world's record on how many times you can be the preverbal cold shower in one day?" Duo growled, glancing Quatre's direction.
"I'm sorry, but, Trowa..can I talk to you? Just for a minute, please." Trowa looked from Quatre to Duo and then back to Quatre.
"Look, I'll talk to you later, okay Quat'?" Trowa responded. Quatre nodded and walked off.
***
After a few moments of contemplation, the Perfect Solider stood from his seat and examined the room. He saw a blonde head bobbing up and down, and he followed it with his eyes into the kitchen. Heero took a breath and headed towards Quatre's location. When he arrived, Quatre was standing, the refrigerator door open, and he was looking exceptionally confused.
"What are you looking for?" Heero asked. Quatre turned towards Heero and smiled slightly.
"Well, we are almost out of punch, and, I dunno what to drink now.." Quatre explained. Heero smiled slightly,
"Well, I don't know what you keep in here."
"Neither do I! My servants usually sort this stuff out!"
"Don't worry Quatre. If all else fails, Duo has a stash of random alcohol!" Heero said calmly. Quatre closed the refrigerator door and sighed as he lent against it, closing his eyes,
"I don't want people getting drunk."
"You can't control everyone and what they want." Quatre looked up at Heero, who was now standing parallel from him.
"Heero?"
"Yes?"
"I.I have a confession to make."
"What.what is it?"
"You remember when I was talking to you earlier, and yeah, well, I said that someone does love you and all that?"
"Yes." Heero's heart began to beat faster in his chest at the anticipation of what Quatre would say next.
"Have you been wondering who it is?"
"Yes, but I have a strong idea of who it might be." Heero replied, moving closer to Quatre. Quatre began breathing quicker, with each centimetre closer Heero got. "Is it you?" he whispered. He was so close to Quatre, he could feel his warm breath on his skin. Quatre nodded slightly.
"Are you.disappointed?" Quatre asked quietly, trying to look away.
"No." Heero replied before pressing his lips against Quatre's, kissing him softly. Quatre moved his arms so they were around Heero's body. Heero moved his head back slightly, breaking the kiss; "Quatre, I'm sorry, I shouldn't -" Heero began, but was abruptly cut off, by Quatre kissing him again.
"Heero, I have wanted this for so long." Quatre whispered. Heero moved his hand up, running it through his new lover's golden hair. "I.have been in love with you, for such a long time, even before Trowa left me. I.I can't believe." Quatre trailed off, staring into Heero's cobalt blue eyes. Heero moved in, kissing Quatre deeply once more.
"Ooh!" Trowa and Duo suddenly sang, interrupting the two.
"Well looky here!" Duo gasped, grinning broadly. Heero and Quatre glanced over at the two. Quatre's face went deep crimson and he buried it in Heero's shoulder.
"Shut up Duo." Heero growled.
"Ooh Hee-chan is getting stressy!" Duo replied. "Come on Trowa. I can tell when we're not wanted!" Duo giggled. Trowa smirked and the two walked out of the kitchen. Quatre looked back up at Heero. The stared at each other for a few seconds, still holding on to each other tightly. They listened to Duo telling everyone what he and Trowa had seen, and laughed slightly.
"Well there goes any secret to this, if we wanted it." Heero chuckled. His mood, which was usually angry and annoyed with the entire human species, had significantly lifted through the course of the evening. The Perfect Solider, usually emotionless and cold, was feeling extremely happy and could feel a strange warmth coursing through his body.
"Yeah, never trust either of those two with anything." Quatre paused, "Especially Duo." He added, hearing Duo telling Wufei about them. ("Winner and Yuy? Really? I guess one or both of them must have been really desperate!" they had heard Wufei saying from the other room.) Heero grinned, kissing Quatre on the forehead. Quatre sighed happily. "Heero?"
"Yeah?"
"I will be right back, okay? I need to tell Trowa something, and before he and Duo start getting all lovey again and before Duo gets angry at me."
"Uh.okay." Heero said, placing his arms back by his side.
"Talk to you in a few minutes, okay?" Quatre said, a smile plastered to his face. He walked backwards out of the kitchen, not wanting to take his eyes off of his new lover.
After a few seconds, Heero followed Quatre's footsteps out of the kitchen and back into the party. He looked on with a new opinion of everyone. Well, everyone except.
"Heero!" Relena screeched. "Please tell me what Duo and Trowa are saying isn't true!"
"And what is it that they are saying?" Heero said, grinning.
"That you and Quatre..are..like.together as a couple!"
"Oh that." Heero paused. "Don't worry Relena." He paused again, lulling Relena into a false since of security. She let out a sigh of relief before Heero spoke again, "because, it's all true! Every word of it!" Relena gasped.
"It can't be Heero! You are supposed to love me!"
"No, I'm not. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go find Quatre and ask him what possessed him to invite you here." Heero said, moving past Relena, leaving her shocked and confused. He looked around the room, searching everywhere for Quatre. But, before he could locate him, Duo stood directly in front of his eye shot.
"Go Heero!" Duo said jumping up and down in front of Heero.
"Duo, stop jumping! You can cause fatal injuries if that braid hits anyone at a high speed." Heero said calmly.
"So..who hit on who first?" Duo asked. Heero smiled, becoming slightly embarrassed.
"It.well..I guess it was a mutual thing..sort of." replied Heero. "Anyways, where is Quatre?"
"You're guess is as good as mine. He and Trowa walked off somewhere. Let's go on a treasure hunt!" Duo giggled. "And by treasure, I mean Q-man and Trowa!"
"I got it, Duo."
***
"What is so damn important, Quatre?" Trowa asked as the two stepped into the foyer. Quatre closed the door behind him
"I just wanted to apologise for snapping at you earlier." Quatre mumbled. Trowa smiled slightly.
"No worries Quatre."
"Okay good."
"Why are you being so secretive?"
"Dunno."
"Hey..look.." Trowa said, pointing towards the ceiling.
"Mistletoe." Quatre said simply, looking up towards it.
"Quatre, it is tradition to kiss under the mistletoe."
"Except for the fact we are with different people now, Trowa." Quatre replied.
"Aw, come on Quat'. For old time's sake." Trowa said with a grin. "No one will ever know." Quatre sighed,
"Fine." He said and lent in towards Trowa. As their lips met, the door of the foyer swung open.
"There you." Heero began, as he and Duo walked in. The two looked at Quatre and Trowa in horror. Trowa and Quatre broke apart and looked to Duo and Heero.
"Trowa.how.could.you?" Duo asked, hurt and betrayal in his eyes.
"Quatre.I.I was wrong. I completely misunderstood you when you said that you have loved me. How.could I have been so stupid?" Heero said, before backing out of the foyer.
"Heero!" Quatre called, glaring at Trowa briefly before chasing after the heartbroken Heero.
"Duo.I." Trowa began.
"Don't Trowa. I don't wanna hear why you did this." Duo said, his voice cracking slightly. "I really loved you, Trowa Barton." He said before turning and walking away from the uni-banged pilot.
