I think this is a drabble... I think! (It's only 100 words - think that makes all the difference, though what difference I shall NEVER know! - unless, i suppose on of you tells me) It's based on the Yeah, yeah, yeahs song - Maps (which i've obsessed over for the last few days - that and, 'You spin me right round' but i didn't write a "drabble" about that, so telling you it just makes this AN stupidly (and unnecesarily) long...

D/C: As much as i'm trying... it's STILL not mine!


Vince is ready for another big night out. His ridiculous outfit clings to his skinny frame, showing off every angular jut of his ribs. Howard watches as the electro poof applies the final layer of powder and gloss to his already perfect face.

"Where are you going tonight?"

"Velvet Onion. Fossil's put on a Vince Noir appreciation evening. Imagine that! Me surrounded by loads of people who love me."

In a parallel universe, where Howard actually speaks the words his heart screams, he says; "Wait! They don't love you like I love you."

In this universe, he says; "Have fun."
