Notes: Not beta-read. This is for Sharon, for the prompt "Trowa getting Duo's help to pick out a gift for Quatre. I'm sure Duo would have interesting suggestions." Sharon, I hope the suggestions didn't seem too plain! This is my first attempt at this 'conversation only' style. I hope it's okay...
Creative Gifts
"Books?"
"He has a library."
"Tickets to the circus! He'd love to see you dressed up and doing your thing."
"He's seen it before, more than once."
"Please don't tell me he asks you to wear it before you two..."
"Duo."
"What? It's only natural for me to think that, given that I'm sure he doesn't have the time to frequent the circus."
"He's seen it twice and he has a picture or two. Other ideas?"
"Christmas tree decorations."
"I doubt I can out-do the handmade ones by his nieces and nephews. He keeps every one of them."
"A violin."
"I don't know how to make one."
"Buy one."
"He owns a Stradivarius, Duo. Unless I can make one, I don't see how another violin could take the place of his current one. Besides, it was a gift from his father."
"Oh. Um...cook him a meal."
"The cook hates it when I walk into the kitchen."
"So get her to leave."
"I can't. It's her domain. It's in the contract."
"You're kidding."
"I kid you not."
"Get him a tie."
"Have you seen his wardrobe? Besides, you're the one who said you've never seen him wear the same tie twice."
"It has meaning, Trowa. Like, he's wearing it as if you're there with him. It goes around his neck, so maybe it'll pass as a collar or something."
"And then he'll wear it once and go back to wearing a different one every day?"
"Fair enough. So get him an actual collar."
"A collar."
"A small one that can fit under his collar. Like a small choker?"
"A choker."
"Yes. Maybe a ring?"
"Ring."
"I thought you did the tightrope and flying dagger target acts. When did you start the parroting act?"
"I can't get him those."
"Why not?"
"When he has late meetings, he takes off his tie and unbuttons his collar. I don't think he'd want to wear it out, or he'd have to explain it."
"Okay, so change the concept to a necklace. The idea is something that he can have with him all the time, you know? Something like a commitment?"
"Actually...I'm getting a ring customized for our anniversary in a couple of months."
"Oh."
"What are you getting Heero?"
"I can't tell!"
"Why not?"
"You can't copy me."
"I just wanted ideas."
"I gave you a lot! You banned them all!"
"With good reasons."
"Okay. Get him something different, something that doesn't exist in your home."
"Like?"
"...A sex toy!"
"..."
"Does that look mean you guys own one, or own some?"
"..."
"...He bought it first, didn't he."
"..."
"I saw that slight nod, Barton. Did he buy it for you or himself?"
"...Actually one's got two-"
"Stop! I take it back, I don't what to know. I asked only because it could be a deciding factor as to whether you could get him something in return. You can fend for yourself, Barton. Heero isn't this difficult."
"C'mon Duo. If you don't want to tell me what you are getting Heero this year, tell me what you got him last year."
"I got him a tattoo."
"You made Heero get a tattoo?"
"No, I got a tattoo. A design on my lower back. He likes it."
"Hm...and the year before?"
"Customized shoulder holster."
"Right. I saw that."
"The last idea I have for you in piercings. How does Quatre feel about that?"
"I..."
"Do you already have one?"
"Have you not looked at my ear lately?"
"Obviously, I meant sexual piercings. Like...your tongue. I heard it makes a blowjob feel good."
"I don't have time. It takes at least four weeks to heal."
"Oh God you've actually considered it?!"
"..."
"Trowa! I never thought you had it in you!"
"Well, do you have more ideas?"
"So if tongue piercing is out of question because of time constraints...maybe you can check out other piercings?"
"Maybe..."
"Your gears are turning. You have better ideas now?"
"Somewhat."
"Good. I'll talk to you again soon?"
"Sure. Thanks, Duo."
"Good luck, Trowa. Later."
"Goodbye."
"Did you give him ideas he needed?"
"You heard me try."
"What are you getting me this year?"
"You have to wait to find out."
"Are you sure I can't convince you to give me some ideas now?"
"Mm...you can keep tracing my tattoo with your fingers but I'm still not going to share."
"We'll see about that. And it's my tattoo, I can touch it all I want."
~*~
"Quatre? Do you have a minute?"
"What is it, Trowa?"
"I wanted...to give you your Christmas present."
"But it's only the third, isn't it a bit early?"
"I don't want to wait to give it to you."
"If you insist. Where is it?"
"Right here."
"Trowa?"
"You've...had me all this time but I've never told you...that I want you to have me. Would I be enough, Quatre?"
"More than enough, Trowa."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Actually, I heard you talking to Duo just now when I walked by."
"..."
"I don't think I want you pierced anywhere...but I did overhear something about sex toys...and since you're mine now...does that mean I can get you what I wanted to for Christmas? The one I mentioned before...?"
"You mean the one that you put..."
"Do you trust me enough to try it?"
"...I trust you with my heart and life and then some, Quatre."
"I love you."
