Uptown Girl

Billy Joel

Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl

My uptown girl

You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice

She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl

Howard looked up to the sound of heels on the stairs. Vince sauntered over, wearing a tired grin.

"I'm fucked, Howard." He muttered, collapsing onto the couch. He emitted a soft sigh and cuddled up to Howard. It took a little effort not to reflex with 'don't touch me'. But all the same, Howard felt the familiar flutter in his chest. Vince sighed, content against his chest, and Howard couldn't help but let a silly smile pull at his cheeks.

"I'm tired. Howard."
"Maybe you should stay in more."
"Think so," Vince murmured. "M'tired of them all. Just stay in with you." Howard's grin widened, fingers reaching down to stroke Vince's hair. The smaller man sighed, content. Howard's heart was thumping hard. His dreams half fulfilled already.
