"'Traditions' is a... liberal term"

 

“This is NOT legal, Duo! I could have bought you a stocking! Stop trying to prove that you’ve got bigger balls than me by doing stupid shit!” Quatre practically wailed in horror as Duo walked by a fireplace display in a well-known mafia-run store on L2, and pinched one single red sock from the little display. It fell into his hands easy as pie, as if it had been made to be stolen at that moment.

Duo continued walking as if nothing had happened and waited for Quatre.
Quatre looked left... Security was at the front of the store, watching people boredly walking in and out. He looked right... just families out purchasing last minute gifts. It was just a few days before Christmas on L2 and this store was one of the only nice places on the colony to buy things. Normally, Quatre would have been a shopper. Not a shop lifter...

Knowing that Duo was waiting, Quatre sucked up his famous Gundam-pilot courage, painted on his game face, and walked by the display himself, snatching a red stocking from the fireplace display with a tug. He shoved it into his pocket as casually as he could, and kept on walking, right out of the store. He even gave the security guard a bland smile as he walked out like the other shoppers and continued onto the back alley where Duo was waiting.

As soon as he saw his friend’s grin, he glared, “I can’t believe you made me DO THAT!”

Duo just shrugged, “You said that you wanted to experience my holiday traditions. That’s one of mine.”

Quatre didn’t quite know what to say to that... so he pulled out the stocking that he nicked instead and gave it a cursory glance, then looked at Duo’s. Remembering Duo’s cocky attitude, Quatre made a show of putting them up next to each other, then grinning, “Mine’s bigger than yours.”
