chair he looked up at the ceiling, his arms folded.
"That is so right. Every time I see a couple walking down the street I feel empty, alone. I don't want
to feel alone anymore, but I don't want another failed relationship." Duo sighed, and ran a hand
through his thick bangs. He kept his hand there, just staring at nothing until the VID phone rang in the
other room. Surprised he jumped, ending up with the chair tipping. Glad for his reflexes he was able
to get up before banging his head hard on the hard floor. He winced lightly at the thought, then
walked into the living room.
"Yellow?" He questions as he turns the VID on.
"Hello Duo." Quatre smiled, Duo smiles even brighter.
"Cat! What are you doing calling me? I haven't heard from you for ages!" Duo says and watches him
with amethyst eyes sparkling.
"I know Duo, but I wanted to call to see if you had anything planned for Christmas?" Quatre asks
hopeful.
"Uh, besides staying home with my cat, Kitty, no." Duo shrugs, interested. Hearing her name Kitty
jumps onto Duo's lap, letting out a soft meow before snuggling deep. Duo chuckled and began
petting her.
"For some reason I didn't peg you as an animal person." Quatre says and Duo laughs.
"Kitty isn't an animal, she's my baby." Duo smirks and Quatre smiles, rolling his eyes.
"So can you come over to Sanq for a holiday with just Relena and the Gundam Pilots?" Quatre asks
and Duo pretends to think about it, then smiles brightly.
"You bet I will, when should I be there?" Duo asks and Quatre looks at the clock.
"I'll call the airport to schedule a… 10:30 flight tonight for you, will that be okay?" Quatre asks and
Duo looks at the time, that gave him time for dinner, packing and gift shopping.
"Sure, I'll be at the airport at 10:28 sharp." Duo says still beaming. Quatre smiles and chuckles
lightly.
"I'm glad you'll be coming Duo; it wouldn't be Christmas without you. See you soon." Quatre says
and Duo smiles.
"Ja!" He says and turns the VID off. Jumping up he held Kitty close.
"Kitty-Kun! We're going to spend Christmas with someone after all!" He says, making Kitty yowl at
being held to tight. Duo ignores it and sets her on the couch before grabbing his coat and running off
to his motorcycle. He wrapped a black scarf that had red designs around his neck and mouth before
running off into the cold winter air. He hated riding his motorcycle in the cold, but he just never got
interested in buying a car. He had a job on the Internet, so he rarely left the house. He swerved a few
corners before stopping at a large mall. Smiling to himself he thought over what everyone would like.
Thirty minuets later and Duo still hadn't found even one gift. He sighed and took his silver and black
cell from his pocket. Dialing a familiar, yet rarely used, number he called Quatre.
"Hello?" He sees Quatre answer.
"Hey Cat. I have a question, what do all the pilots and Relena like anyway?" Duo asks scratching his
head to give the confused affect. Quatre chuckled."Well… Heero has two dogs, a bunch of puppies
and a cat. Relena hates animals, I've learned that the hard way, but, as you know, loves pink.
Wufei… likes Chinese things? Trowa likes anything really and I like anything that doesn't relate to
anything pink." Quatre says and Duo smiles.
"Great! Oh and are you and Trowa still together?" Duo asks and Quatre blushes.
"Yes…" He says blushing and Duo snickers.
"Alrighty, talk to ya later." He says giving a wave before hanging up and running into the stuffed
animal section. He didn't know if Wufei would like it, but he remembered seeing Wufei with a stuffed
animal sleeping one time. He looked around until he found the perfect thing. It was a stuffed animal
dragon. He smiled and picked it up, setting it in the cart he had gotten at the entrance he then noticed
a pink fluffy… something. He blinked and picked the fuzzy ball up. The ball had eyes, two feet that
poked out from the bottom and strange ears. Figuring it was something that was safe and Relena
would like he tossed it into the cart. He didn't care that the pink fuzzy seemed to cost more than it
seemed worth, he just paid for it, set them in separate sacks and asked for a pen. The girl gave him a
look before giving him a marker. He wrote out WUFEI and RELENA on each sack before walking
out
"Okay, two down three to go." He thinks to himself and walks over to the office things. Looking
around he didn't think of anything special at first. Quatre was now the head leader of WEI, so
wouldn't he like office supplies? He thought to himself before picking up a big book that held a lot of
notes and had a light extending from the top and a place for a pen. Putting that in he noticed
something else. Rolling the cart to the other side he looked at a notebook that had a clown holding a
white bunny. He snickered lightly and set that on top of the other one. After paying he once again
asks for a pen, and writes out QUATRE on the sack.
"Three down." He says and walks on. Thinking over all the memories of Trowa, he had he couldn't
think of a single thing to get him. Deciding that Trowa was a bit experimental in bed he walked over
to the erotica area. He knew Trowa liked to read. He smiled as he grabbed a book called 'the best
of Gay Erotica.' Figuring it would be fun to read and give Trowa some ideas he walked over. The
lady gave him a look then snickered as she checked it out. He asked for a pen, yet again, and wrote
out TROWA. He waved a goodbye and walked off, the girl still snickering. He sighed as he began
just walking around, he knew Heero loved his laptop, but that was in the war. Did he even still have
that old thing? He thought to himself as he walked to the electronics. He just looked around until he
saw it. He smiled to himself as he read the cover. It was a special paint for your laptop. It came in
several metallic colors. The paint could have added sparkles as well. Duo hoped it was the right type
of gift and walked over to the register, happy with his success he paid for the paint and wrote
HEERO in fancy lettering. He almost slapped himself for being so silly. It wasn't like Heero would
see it and even if he did he wouldn't care.
"Come again soon." The guy says and Duo waves and walks out. As he was walking however,
something caught his eyes. He looked at small, yellow and gray puppy. It looked sad and wanting.
He remembered what Quatre had said. Smiling he walked into the pet shop and bought the cute little
mix puppy. He had been found in an alley, he was told. It was perfect for Heero. He asked for a
collar to be made and was glad when it could be made quickly. Duo sat for about five minuets on a
bench before getting excited about seeing the animals. He smiled and walked around, puppy still in his
arms. Now licking him happily, once in a while, and wagging his tail. He found his way, petting cats,
kittens, puppies, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, and guinea pigs. When he made it over to the
reptile part he held snakes and watched lizards until he was called over to the cashier.
"Here you go, does that sound right?" The kind guy asks handing him the blue collar that read 'I
belong to Heero Yuy.' Duo smiled brightly yet again.
"Its perfect, thanks." He waves a goodbye as he walks out with the puppy still in his arms and the
new collar around it. Finally, he only had to get wrapping paper, and that was easy, considering there
were only a certain amount wrapping paper patterns you could get. Once he had two different
patterns he walked out with a grin that stretched from one ear to the other. 'He was going to spend
Christmas happy'. Was his only real thought as he walked out, puppy in his arms, contently sleeping.
