Merry Christmas Under the Tree
1x2
"How long have you been sitting here under the tree, Duo?"
"Mmmmm, not sure, Heero."
"It's four in the morning."
"Yep."
"That's my present to you?"
"You know it is."
*Chuckle* "Well, then... that's your present to me. I'll just sit here with it in my lap as well."
-_-
^_^
"You are a bastard, Heero."
"I told you, no opening presents until everyone gets back from worship services. Quatre insisted."
"You mean, Dorothy insisted."
"It is their house. Their expensive Persian carpet we're sitting on. Their extremely large Christmas tree we're sitting under."
"Quatre isn't even a Christian."
"You're pouting. Dorothy is and he respects his wife's religion."
"I don't think that I like a religion that makes you wait to open presents."
"Now, you're really pouting, Duo, love."
"Am not. Preventer agents, ex-gundam pilots do not pout. We brood."
"Well, you are the only one sitting here at four in the morning... brooding... about your presents."
"Just yours."
"Just mine?"
*-_-* "It's more important."
"That deserves a kiss."
"Are you two going to kiss, as well?"
"Relena! I'll do NO such thing!"
"Can't open my present and I don't get a kiss. You're very cruel, Fei, love."
"Trowa! I will not engage in intimacies while a young girl ogles..."
"I'm too tired to ogle, Fei."
"Uh, is everyone down here under the tree?"
"Yes, Heero. We're on the other side, by the stairs."
"I can't even see you, Relena. Why they bought such a big tree..."
"Hey, I think I found someone!"
"That would be me, Maxwell."
"Milliardo?"
"I couldn't sleep."
"Is that present from Noin?"
"Yes, she had it sent special post from L4."
"Visiting her sick grandma, wasn't she?"
"Yes."
"That's rough, not having your love on Christmas."
"Yes."
"No one is opening their presents until our hosts return from-"
"Uhm, actually we're here as well, Heero."
"Quatre?"
"And Dorothy. We couldn't sleep either."
O_o'
"Can we all agree not to wait, then, guys, and open presents?"
"Duo! That's rude."
"No, it's not, Heero. Dorothy and I agree that you can all open presents."
"Yay! Whoooooo-hoooooo!"
"Is that from a Preventer agent, ex gundam pilot, Duo?"
"You bet, Heero, love! Hey, a picture of a dirt bike! Thanks, love!"
*sigh* "That's a ticket telling you that you have a new one waiting at the bike shop, the one you've been drooling over for months."
"Whoooo-hooooo!"
"Hmmm, OMG! The complete collection of Tom Clancy novels in hard cover, not digital. Where did you find them?They're damned antiques!"
"Oh, Geez, Heero. Don't cry!"
"Not crying."
"Brooding."
"Yeah, brooding."
