The moment that school lets out for the day as Takato can t get what Henry had said during lunch wondering if there s a chance of them being together as it raced through his head even on the way home as Thanksgiving is only a couple of days away. Upon arriving home greeting Takato greets his parents as they ask him how his day was and said that everything went alright during school. As Takato heads upstairs to his room, heading to his bed and laying his back looking up at the ceiling smiling like an idiot about those thoughts again. While Takato is lying in bed Henry arrives home, taking off his shoes and jacket as he hangs that up then heading to his room to do his homework to get done now instead of waiting for the last minute before school starts back up again. Finishing it after like an hour, Henry gets up to see if his parents or Susie were home yet figuring that his sister had gone somewhere with one of them as they come walking in after going to town to grab things for dinner.
"Hey mom, dad, and Susie." says Henry.
"Hey son." replies Janyu. "How did school go?"
"It went ok. Nothing too exciting happened." said Henry. "Can I ask you something, dad?"
"Sure." said Janyu.
"I-I kind of told Takato today at lunch maybe having our families hang out one time for a holiday. You know to maybe do something different for a change?" asked Henry.
"I don t see why not. We can talk about it over dinner, how s that sound?" replied Janyu.
"Ok." said Henry smiling slightly as he heads to the couch to see if there s anything worth watching. Flipping through the stations as he tries to find something interesting to watch and when he don t see anything interesting on Henry gets up to grab a DVD from the shelf as he grabs his favorite movie Madagascar. Around halfway through the first movie, dinner is ready as Henry stops it as he heads to the dining room for dinner. During dinner talk of spending a holiday with Takato s family and when would be a good time to do that.
"What do you think about Christmas or New Year over there, dad?" asked Henry.
"Well, we would have to make sure what their plans are first before we can decide fully on it, son." replied Janyu.
"I can call him and find out after dinner." said Henry.
"If they re busy we can always arrange for another time for it". says Janyu.
"Ok, dad." says Henry with a smile on his face, hoping that he can have a chance to spend one of the upcoming holidays with his best friend even if it might happen just this once. After what felt like a eventful dinner, Henry takes a little bit of time before he calls Takato as he picks up watching his movie. After a while Henry gets his cell phone out of his pocket as he looks through his phonebook to find Takato as he calls to see if any of them around as the phone rings as it goes to the third ring thinking that they re out somewhere until someone picks up on the fourth ring as an older guy answers.
"Hello, Matsuki residence." answers the man.
"Hi, Mr. Matsuki. Is Takato around?" asked Henry.
"He is, let me get him for you." replied Takehiro as he hells up the stairs for Takato telling him that Henry s on the phone as he comes down the stairs a little nervous that Henry s on the other end of the phone as he takes the phone.
"H-Hey Henry, what s up?" asked Takato.
"Not a lot. I wanted to call to see if you guys were going to be busy this Christmas or New Year s at all?" asked Henry.
"Not as far as I know just going to be the three of us as usual. I can ask my dad about it, Henry." says Takato as he looks over at his dad. "Dad, Henry wants to know if we re going to be busy on Christmas?"
"Not at all. Why he ask?" asks Takehiro, as Henry hears Takato s dad over the phone.
"Remember when I said something about our families being together one time for a holiday at lunch, Takato?" said Henry.
"Yes, I remember." replied Takato.
"I asked my parents and we talked about it over dinner. Said we could do it as long as you guys weren t going to be busy at all this Christmas or New Year s." said Henry.
"Cool. If my dad says it s ok for you guys to come over you guys can." says Takato.
"Ok. Maybe I ll see you over Thanksgiving break, Takato." says Henry.
"M-Maybe." replied Takato as he s getting that feeling again of butterflies in his stomach as he s slowly realizing he loves hearing Henry s voice over the phone. As he hangs up the phone and starts thinking to himself that if he runs into Henry over break while they re alone maybe he can tell Henry how he feels about him. Thinking that sooner he tells him the better he get take that load off his mind with all that going through his mind with fear of rejection and all. That night as Takato is laying in bed trying to sleep as he tosses and turns with thoughts of Henry going through his 16 year old mind, as he reaches under his pillow taking out a picture of Henry that he had printed out and framed looking at it smiling as he whispers to himself I wonder if you re think about me the way I think about you. My only wish is to spend the rest of my life with you and only you. As he puts the picture back under his pillow Takato whispers again, "I love you Henry Wong, with all my heart." as he smiles and kisses Henry goodnight.
