Tinkerhell
"You aren't blonde," the small child standing in front of Duo's partner said critically, eyeing Heero as if he had betrayed her. "You're supposed to be blonde."
"That's only the Disney version," Duo said helpfully before Heero said something worse. His partner was already in a bad mood- no need to aggravate the situation. "They got it wrong."
The child sniffed as if she didn't quite buy that explanation. "She's wearing the wrong shoes too." She pointed to Heero's yellow trainers.
Duo had to bite his lip for a moment. It had been a struggle enough getting Heero into the costume. The shoes were one thing he had finally simply yielded on. It had been his fault that they were late and that these were the only costumes left. It hadn't been his fault that the Tinkerbell one hadn't fit him, but Heero was no doubt still holding a grudge.
"Well...." Duo thought fast. "Usually Tink flies. She's not used to walking, it hurts her feet, so we made sure they were really protected, you know?"
Heero snorted.
Thankfully, the child didn't press that issue. Her eyes moved up to 'Tinkerbell's' slightly bent wings. Duo hoped she'd be silent on that topic. He had forgotten about the wings earlier when he had pinned Heero up against the wall in the dressing room to try and kiss him into a better mood. Thanks to one of the wings poking Heero in a bad place it hadn't worked.
Which was a pity, cause really Heero looked really good in green and as it was Duo had had to spend a lot of time adjusting his tunic to disguise his appreciation of that fact. His costume hid a lot less than Heero's did really, but at least it wasn't a skirt.
Though Heero did look quite good in the skirt. Course, he also looked good in shorts.
Or in nothing at all.
Duo sighed and tugged down on the hem of his tunic again.
He scratched his head, pushing the small green hat to the side, and made a mental note to be on vacation the next time Relena asked the Preventers to provide security for her daughter's birthday party. Sure, there were a lot of VIPs and their kids at these things, but the idea that the Preventers needed to 'disguise' what they were so that the kids weren't 'frightened' was plain silly. This year's fairy tale theme was the worst yet- though the princess theme last year was a close second.
The kid was still staring at Heero. Heero was glaring back. Duo wondered how long they could keep it up for before their eyes got tired. Usually he'd bet on Heero, but the kid looked pretty determined.
"Look, you can tell who she is, right? So she must look a little bit like she should." He said trying to end the staring contest. Heero's glare shifted to him for a moment and then back to the child.
With the air of one making a great concession, the little girl nodded. "She does look grumpy enough for Tinkerbell."
"Grumpy?" Heero repeated, looking more so. "Isn't that a dwarf?"
The child sighed. "Tinkerbell always looks grumpy," she informed Heero, "cause Peter Pan likes Wendy better than her."
Duo jerked back as the sharp-tipped star on the end of "Tinkerbell's" wand suddenly appeared under his nose.
"Do you like Wendy best?"
Duo swallowed hard. He didn't even know a Wendy. "Uh... no?"
A sniff from the kid. "Yes you do."
His partner growled faintly and Duo backed up a step. "No, really I don't."
The child opened her mouth again and Duo winced. Was she trying to get him killed? Before she could speak though, a harassed-looking woman appeared and grabbed her arm.
"Susan, it's time to go home," she said and the child was dragged off.
The wand vanished from under Duo's nose and he breathed a sigh of relief. His partner was still frowning, so Duo deemed it politic to remain silent. The party was almost over and Heero would be in a better mood once he got out of the costume.
Though really, that would be a pity, Duo thought, as he looked Heero over again out of the corner of his eye. It would be so much fun to take Heero home, get those wings out of the way and then...
He yanked at his tunic again.
Heero snorted. "Pervert."
"What?" Duo gave Heero his best innocent-I-wasn't-thinking-of-anything-r
Heero turned slightly, letting his gaze drop down to the edge of Duo's tunic and back up again. He met Duo's gaze and lifted his eyebrow.
"We aren't keeping the costumes." He said, the corner of his mouth curving up a little.
Duo decided it was safe to pout. "Why not?"
"You already made me keep that Snow White thing from last year. Relena still makes jokes about that."
Oh yes... Duo had almost forgotten about that outfit. He tugged on his tunic again. "Then... will you wear it for me when we get home?"
The curve turned into a smirk as Heero leaned closer and tapped his wand against Duo's tights- just at the edge of his tunic. "Say the magic word..."
