Twelve Days

1x2 Christmas

"You didn't notice, did you?"

"Notice what, Fei?"

"By my ancestors, Maxwell, you two could win awards for being the most infuriating...!"

"Rewind and try that again, Fei. I was just sitting here, at my desk, in my office, getting a report done for Une. You barged in and... insert a sentence that makes sense here."

"No wonder Yuy has been impossible. He thinks you've been purposefully spurning his... attempts."

"Attempts? Attempts at what?"

"To initiate a path for him to request the honor, as dubious as I think that is, of becoming an associate of high favor-"

"Fei! Time out! Stop now! I am not getting what you're saying at all. What the hell is Heero trying to do?"

"He's trying to make himself your main homey, so that you can knock boots together, man to man."

"What?"

"I think I said that right. I saw it on a vidshow last night."

"You're insane. I'm calling Sally to come get you with a straight jacket."

"Here!"

"Huh? What's that doing in my file cabinet?"

"It's a gift, for Christmas. If you would ever file any of your work you would have found it eleven days ago. And this one... ten days ago... and this one in your bottom drawer, with all of your unopened interoffice mail. He put that there nine days ago. There are eleven gifts, all together, hidden in your office."

"Where did Heero get such a cockeyed idea to do all of this? Why didn't he just ask me out on a date?"

"It was my idea, Maxwell."

"Sorry... but, why make something so easy so damned complicated?"

"It's called 'being romantic'."

"Oh... kind of sweet, in a dumb sort of way."

"A gift for the twelve days leading up to Christmas."

"Where's gift number twelve, Fei?"

"I'm gift number twelve."

"Heero?"

"I was angry.. and hurt, believing that you were ignoring my gifts, Duo."

"Sorry, Heero, I really didn't know. So... You're gift number twelve? Couldn't find gift wrap big enough?"

"It's wrapped, if you're interested in unwrapping it?"

"Now that's my kind of romantic. Let's knock off early and go back to my place. Uh, Fei, are you okay?"

"Impossible! The both of you are just impossible. I'm going!"

"Well, Merry Christmas and all that, Fei."

"@#%$@^@^@!"

"What was that?"

"He said, Merry Christmas to you, too, Duo."

"I don't think so, Heero, unless it was in Chinese, or code, or..."
