A/N – ALL dialogue is Vince and/or Howard.
A/N#2 - One use of the f-word.
A/N#3 - This was given as a challenge over MSN by Jamie Louise (ButtonsMagoo). The challenge went as follows… A very sickly sweet Howince and another paring, of your choice, FLUFF not slash though, and it has to be set in a park at night. Must be finished by 6 o'clock British time (10 am for you)
It IS – 8:52 for me, so 4:52 for Britain, and I started it at quarter past 8.
Disclaimer – I don't and do not pretend to own the Mighty Boosh. I don't really own the idea do I? So, yeah, I don't own anything.
I stopped watching them that night. The night they got together.
They stumbled through the park, the taller supporting the other – he was tottering on high-heels – both of them laughing hysterically. Howard removed his jacket and set it on the floor, he knew Vince wouldn't sit down if there was a slight chance of his hot pink jeans getting dirty. They settled down, side by side, back to a tree, looking up through the leaves, watching the stars glisten.
"Howard?"
Howard made a small noise to show he was telling Vince to go on with his question, and closed his eyes.
"D'ya remember the electro girls?"
A few feet away, Neon and Ultra stopped walking. They recognized that voice. Vince Noir.
"Yeah, why?"
"I dunno. They just, popped into my head."
"Okay.""D'ya reckon they were fucking?"
"What??"
"D'ya reckon?"
"Maybe."
"I would've loved to go for the electro three-way! Would've been genius!"
"Hmm."
Howard hated talking about three-ways and girls with Vince. It reminded him that the closest he'd ever come to sex was a rape from Old Gregg, and his only romantic kiss was Vince. It also reminded him that he was gay, and had been since he met Vince.
"Howard?"
"Yeah."
"Are you… doesn't matter."
"What?"
"It doesn't matter, never mind."
"It matters to me! Am I what?"
"Y'know.. gay?"
Howard went silent. They were having the "talk." He wasn't used to having these with guys. He had to tell Vince.
"Yes."
Vince's eyes lit up.
"Really??"
"Yes."
"D'ya fancy me?"
"Yes… How did you know that?"
"All men do. I'm the confuser, remember?"
"Oh yeah."
There was silence for a few seconds.
"Howard?"
"Yeah."
"I like you too."
"You… what?"
Vince leaned over and planted his lips on Howard's.
"Oh."
Howard leant over again, confident now to initiate it.
"Howard?"
"Yeah."
"Make love to me."
"…Okay."
My eyes left them with their privacy.
I scanned the park for the other one I was guiding to their best friend. They halted on two girls. A smaller black haired one pushing a taller blonde against a tree and kissing her.
I stopped watching them that night. The night they got together.
But I will keep watching all you lot out there. Remember, you're never safe from me. I love you all, especially YOU!
Love from,
