I'd said I'd try and update and i have. woo!

The key turned in the lock, Howard looked at his watch. 11:30. He heard Vince creep up the stairs and put his coat over the banister.

"Good time?"

"Ahhhh!" Vince jumped "Jeez Howard, you scared me to death!"

"Sorry." said Howard . Howard was so straight and unmoving Vince couldn't help think he was talking like an emotionless James Bond villain.

"The film was good." said Vince sitting down next to Howard. "And the meal was nice."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. The company was alright."

"Alright?"

"Well, you know… I think me and Scotty are going to stay just friends."

"What was wrong with him?"

"Nothing. He just wasn't… you know." said Vince breaking off into an embarrassed silence.

"Wasn't what?" pressed Howard.

"You." said Vince quietly looking at his lap.

"I thought you'd moved on."

"No. I'll never move on. That was Scotty's idea. He said that if I told you I'd moved on then you'd get jealous and realise you loved me… didn't work though, did it?"

"No," said Howard harshly "What a stupid idea. It was never going to work" Vince could feel the tears welling up behind his eyes. "It would never work because I already knew I loved you."

"What?" blinked Vince "But you said you weren't gay."

"I'm not, I mean I wasn't. I mean… oh, I don't know… it's difficult to explain. It's not men I love, Vince. It's not women. It's you. Just you. No one else matters."

"So why weren't you jealous of the girls?"

"I don't now" smiled Howard "But, if it makes you feel any better I was insanely jealous of Scotty."

"Really?" grinned Vince.

"Oh yer. It took all my effort not to punch him there and then." Vince blushed prettily and then leant forward and kissed Howard on the cheek.

"Is that it?" said Howard with mock anger

"What?" asked Vince

"I tell you I love you and I get a kiss on the cheek. That's not how I imagined this moment."

"And how exactly did you imagine this moment?" smiled Vince coyly.

"In my imagination, it went a little more like this." and with that Howard leant forward and kissed Vince. Vince started to giggle.

"What?" asked Howard pulling back a little angrily

"Your moustache tickles"

"You're such an idiot." frowned Howard

"No, it's good." said Vince pulling at Howard's shirt, "Come here." And with that Howard resumed his kiss with full force. It was better than he'd ever imagined. More perfect than he'd ever imagined. He was more in love than he'd ever imagined it was possible to be.

"Come on." smiled Howard dragging Vince towards his bedroom.
