Little Heero couldn't fathom why the new kid looked as if he wanted to cry- in the middle of a party, no less!- but he hated to see littler kids cry, so he did the first thing he could think of to make the littler boy smile: he gave him him his extra special chocolate pudding.

BlaHs (Notes):
Hello, my friends. I'm out of my snit, thanks to all of you who gave me a push. 'Christmas-y' got the most votes, so my mind started whirling, and this came up. I'll try to finish the other two, as soon as I figure out where the sentences will take me. I hope you enjoy this particular addition to the Sentence-Snippet series, even though it's not Kiss-mas anymore! ^^;;;
--------------
Christmas-y
1. Duo couldn't really remember what explanation Sissy Helen gave about this Kiss-mas stuff, but whatever it is, it must be really special, because it's not every day a jolly old man called Santy Claus hands out new toys to street rats like him.
2. As he examined his shining new toy car, Duo fervently wished his best friend Solo was there with him because the older kid never really had the chance to experience a warm bed, and this equally-warm feeling settling in his tummy as people laughed and ate and kissed and hugged other people.
3. Sister Helen didn't know whether she wanted to cry or hug the forlorn child, or do both; it was just so heartbreaking to watch young Duo looking so lost and sad in the middle of a celebration, like a poor puppy stuck in the middle of a snowstorm.
4. Little Heero couldn't fathom why the new kid looked as if he wanted to cry- in the middle of a party, no less!- but he hated to see littler kids cry, so he did the first thing he could think of to make the littler boy smile: he gave him him his extra special chocolate pudding.
5. When the littler boy asked 'Why?' with something akin to wonder in his eyes, Heero couldn't really answer and tell him the truth; he supposed it would sound silly if he said, "Your eyes are prettier when they're not at all teary," so instead he said, "So you'd stop crying, you sissy."
6. As he threw the first punch, Duo thought he shouldn't have asked 'Why?', because somehow it hurt to be called a cry-baby sissy by the nice-looking kid named Heewo, much more than it hurt to spend two nights in a row without eating.
7. One moment, Sister Helen was trying to hold back tears at the children's rather heart-warming display, and the next, she was practically diving towards the other end of the dining room when little Duo Maxwell threw a well-packed punch into Heero Yuy's scowling face- well, as well-packed a punch as his little grubby hands could manage, but that was not the point!
8. Little Quatre couldn't fathom why the pretty green-eyed boy named Trowa was smiling, when he himself wanted to cry in frustration as he helped Sissy Helen pry the struggling boys away from each other; what was so funny about people fighting during Kiss-mas dinner, and why wasn't he helping the others stop the fight, and oh, why couldn't he stop the tears from falling?!
9. Trowa wasn't smiling because kids were fighting- no, he wasn't that bad; he was smiling because he thought Heero was stoopid for not telling the new kid the real reason why he gave him his extra special chocolate pudding!
10. Wu Fei knew the real reason, too, which is why he was giving Heero a cute, chibified version of one of Father Maxwell's disapproving looks - the kind Father always gives them when they didn't do what they ought to be doing, like telling the truth.
11. When little Quatre finally got a hold of his confusing e-mo-shuns, he shook his head and replaced his bewildered look with a look of firm de-ter-mi-na-shun, and finally got the strength to pry his squabbling new friends apart; and boy did that ever felt good!
12. "You will not fight on Christmas Dinner, because Santy Claus and Sissy Helen will cry!" Quatre declared with a hint of a vicious gleam in his beautiful aquamarine eyes that made both Heero and Duo hide behind said Sissy Helen's skirt.
13. Trowa has never seen little Quatre take command of the si-tu-a-shun like that, and quite honestly, he thought he looked like one of the beautiful angel warriors Sissy Helen showed him not so long ago; he resolved to make friends with Quatre tomorrow.
14. Wu Fei had to give it to Quatre; he thought the blonde was a sissy himself, but he admitted that it was un-just of him to think that before actually trying to make friends with him, or /anybody/ else, so he, too, resolved to make friends with Quatre tomorrow.
15. Little Duo was trying so hard to keep back his sobs and tears as he gave Heewo a dirty look; he was NOT a cry-baby sissy, and he will NEVER make friends with him, even though he thought Heewo has the prettiest blue eyes he had ever seen!
16. 'I am the stoopidest kid, ever,' Heero thought to himself as prickles attacked his eyes when he saw that the littler kid was /very/ angry at him.
17. Father Maxwell thought he couldn't very well look stern, and he was sure his 'disappointed look' wouldn't be very effective this time around, what with him parading as a poor replica of Santa Claus, so instead he opted to calmly instruct the boys to 'wait in Father Maxwell's office' so he could 'help them reflect on their actions'; but first, he had to get out of this Santa costume... the pillow on his stomach was making him very uncomfortable, anyway.
18. "Uh oh, they're about to go to the Office," little Quatre whispered out loud, his aqua eyes as big as saucers as he stressed the word 'office', "and they're going to be lec-tured to death, and they won't be able to finish Kiss-mas dinner, and Sissy Helen, please do something so Father Maxwell wouldn't lec-ture them to death, because Heewo didn't mean it when he said Duo was a sissy, because Heewo liked Duo to death!"
19. Sister Helen couldn't help but think how adorable her little children looked right now; Quatre was beaming her with his big aqua-blues, looking like a cherub fresh from Heaven, and Trowa and Wu Fei looked down-right cute as they gravely nooded their heads, solemnly agreeing with their blonde friend-to-be's sentiments.
20. Little Duo wanted to stay mad at Heewo for calling him a sissy, but somehow, he couldn't find it in his heart to stay angry at a pretty boy who looked real sorry, and looked as if he was about to cry, even though he tried to cover it up with a scowl.
21. Little boy Heero wanted to say sorry so bad, because his heart hurt so bad every time he remembered the way the littler boy tried to hold back the sobs as declared he was 'not a sissy', but he was afraid the new kid would punch him again, so he just kept his head low and waited for Father Maxwell to 'lecture them to death', as Quatre would say.
22. Duo didn't really know why Heero looked as if he wanted to cry, but he supposed it was because Heero was real sorry, and he didn't know how to say it, so Duo just took it upon himself to make friends with the other boy; he wouldn't really give him his extra special chocolate pudding to cheer him up if he wasn't a nice kid, anyway.
23. Heero was pretty much concentrating on trying to hold back his tears, so he didn't really hear the littler boy whisper, "It's OK, I forgive you," the first time around.
24. Heero thought he was hearing things, but when he looked up to see the new kid standing right in front of him with a small smile, the tears he was trying so hard to fight suddenly fell down his cheeks, and he could only sob as he said in a little voice, "I'm sorry I made you cry. You're not a sissy."
25. Duo wasn't prone to cry very much, he was a toughest kid in Solo's gand after all, and he was not a cry-baby sissy, but when he saw the bigger kid cry because he was so sorry, Duo couldn't help but embrace Heewo as he burst into tears as well.
26. Father Maxwell was most surprised to find the two boys crying and hugging each other and saying 'Sowwy' all over again, but he was downright moved to tears when Heero, the older of the two, pulled away from Duo's embrace and solemnly told him that he 'shouldn't lec-ture them to death anymore' because 'they said sorry and made up already', and 'isn't that what you and Sissy Helen told us about the true meaning of Kiss-mas'?
27. Twelve o'clock found all the children of the Maxwell Children's Home gathered around the brightly-lit Kiss-mas tree, laughing and squealing as they played with their new toys; Helen sighed in happiness as she watched Quatre playing toy trucks with Wu Fei and Trowa, with Duo and Heero nearby, sitting side-by-side, eyes reflecting hundreds of the tree's blinking lights, sharing a cup of extra special chocolate pudding.
28. Christmas fourteen years later found a twenty-year-old Duo dashing across the orphanage's yard to hug the two people he considered his parents a tight hug as his best friend Heero walked a leisurely pace behind him, taking his time, as he ran his eyes across the place he considered his home for most of his early years; the building looked old, paint was falling off, snowmen built by kids were scattered all across the yard, and the old maple tree, though bare of its beautiful leaves, was still standing proudly... nothing changed, but home was home, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
29. Heero thought he had the right to look suspicious as Duo handed him his gift; the vicious gleam in Duo's amethyst eyes could only mean nothing but trouble, and the gift, a big box wrapped in hot-pink paper and ten thousand yards of powder pink ribbon with holes on each side, looked anything but safe.
30. Sister Helen laughed with glee as he watched the scene unfold right in front of her aging eyes; Heero was sprawled flat on his back across the floor, trying to keep an overly-enthusiastic yelping Rottweiler from slobbering all over his new shirt; his efforts, of course, proved to be futile.
31. "His name is Admiral Perry," Duo declared in between bouts of laughter, not really doing anything to rescue his best friend from the attacks of an over-zealous puppy.
32. The tree was as bright as ever, a shining beacon of light and warmth in an otherwise dimly-lit room, and Duo couldn't help but think that even after all these years, this was the best way to spend his Christmas- with Quatre and Trowa and Wu Fei /still/ racing trucks, Father Maxwell fidgeting in his Santy Claus outfit, Sister Helen wiping out tears of joy as children basked in the happy and peaceful spirit of Christmas, and finally, staring into two beautiful orbs of beautiful cobalt blue eyes reflecting thousands of blinking lights, whilst sharing a cup of extra special chocolate pudding with his best friend in the whole wide world.
