Vince felt his pulse raise beneath his designer jacket as he strutted casually into the Zooniverse. Today was the day. The day that Vince was going to tell Howard how he really felt about him.

"Hey there, little man!" Howards voice boomed reassuringly as he bounded toward the unusually pale Vince.

"H-Howard, can I have a word?" Vince mumbled, turning painfully red. C'mon Vince, get it together, it's just Howard.

"Sure buddy, whats happening?" Oh shit, he's in a well good mood! This'll ruin his day.

"Listen Howard," Vince stammered " I really fancy you, Ive never felt this way about anyone else. I love you. I don't want to be just friends. I want to be your boyfriend." He tried to hide the fact that he now resembled a tomato under his fringe.

"THANK GOD!" Howard shouted, then covered his mouth quickly as he remembered the other zoo workers just a few feet away. Seeking this perfect opportunity, Howard kissed Vince tentatively.

I guess this means he fancies me back?
