So this is Christmas
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
At first I had greatly disliked this time of year. All the memories from the war would come back – the way it ended, then the follow up with the Barton Rebellion. This time of year didn’t hold a lot of good memories for me. And as a young child it wasn’t celebrated as Odin and then the scientists didn’t hold much by way of holidays. But over the past few years new memories had been made.
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
Duo found me that first year after Barton and practically dragged me around during the holiday season – shopping, gifts for people, writing and mailing cards.
And volunteering.
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
Their was an orphanage filled with kids who had hopes and dreams and Duo convinced me that first time that it would be good for me – but even better for the kids.
We made food and brought it to the house where the kids were staying. We helped serve them a fine Christmas dinner and afterwards, dessert. And then we handed out presents to them.
And so this is Christmas
For weak or for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
Some of the gifts were fairly generic – socks, toothbrushes, flashlights. But others were very specific.
Thomas got a Lego set that he had seen in the store three months ago and never thought he would be able to get it.
Miuki received a model show jumping horse complete with tack and a jump, as well as a rider.
Alice opened her gift and found an art set with books of paper for her drawings and soon to be paintings.
Lee and Chan got a pair of rollerblades each and a hockey puck and sticks.
And Sandra was given a porcelain doll, just like the one she’d lost when she’d lost her parents.
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let’s stop all the fight
These were children who’d known of the war only as a background to their lives. They hadn’t had any direct involvement. They hadn’t had any real part in it, except to see the utter destruction and chaos it could bring. And the horrible loss. But by giving something to them at this time of the year it meant that Christmas could be a happy and special time for them. It didn’t have to hold bad memories; not for me either.
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
I made it a point to stay in closer contact with Duo throughout the next year and when December rolled around again, this time I invited him to do all of those things with me. We could give back something of normalcy to these children. And it was that year that I realized that the war didn’t hold only bad memories. There were all of my memories of Duo and the rest of the guys – meeting them, making friends, hanging out at safe houses and school dormitories. Realizing that I was attracted to a fellow soldier who had a braid down past his backside.
It was also that year that I discovered that I might even have a chance with that same guy.
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
We got caught under the mistletoe at a small gathering that Quatre had decided to throw. It was actually Wufei who noticed, and I was surprised at his insistence at us going through with the silly tradition. But that first kiss, in front of all of our close friends, changed the way I was looking at the future. I could see Duo and myself together, buying a house, maybe getting a dog and/or cat (or two), sharing the rest of out lives. In that one moment, everything was clear as crystal.
And he and I stayed up all night talking. I discovered that he had also had feelings for me, but was afraid of voicing them for the same reasons I had been – fear of losing the friendship we had. We both shared that we weren’t looking for something quick and easy, that we wanted forever and a relationship that would stand the tests of time. We’d lost too much in our lives to want to build something to last forever.
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
So we started dating. It was four weeks until our next kiss. About 2 weeks after that until we really started necking. As we had both agreed to wait until we were approximately 18 to sleep together, necking and some heavy petting had to do. My unofficial birthday was before his, but on the evening of his chosen birthday, 7 months after we had started dating, we made love for the first time, right after he had agreed to move in with me.
It took two months of searching to finally find our dream house. A two story farmhouse on the very outskirts of town, with a white picket fence surrounding the front yard, and a panel fenced backyard with the 20 acre property surrounded by pole fencing and a couple of outbuildings was almost exactly what we had been wanting. It would take some work to be perfect, but we were both up to the challenge.
That Christmas we celebrated our one year anniversary.
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
Now, seven years later, we’re at another of Quatre’s parties. He and Trowa had gotten together right after the war and have been together ever since. Sally and Wufei got married this past summer after dating for five years. And Duo and I, well, we had just spent the morning at the orphanage in town, handing out this years gifts to the children. Some of which had never seen the ravages of war.
And now Duo is sitting in the rocking recliner next to the fireplace, after taking back over from Sally who had been babysitting for us earlier today, holding our baby girl that we adopted two months ago. We named her Helen, honoring the only mother between the two of us that had ever been known. Our lives were so full now. We even have a few pets.
And Christmas, it’s now my favorite time of the year.
War is over
If you want it
War is over now . . .
