I Love You, Handy.
Chapter 25. I wanna gaze up at the moon a little longer...
It was dark and cold in Smurf Paradise as both Handy and Feathers flew to go search for Hefty minutes ago. Time had passed and they couldn't find traces of him anywhere. They looked in just about every single destination all over the land for a good hour. But Handy was not going to give up until he found him.
"Heftyyyy!" He shouted for him, hoping Hefty would hear him. Knowing that there was no place else he could be, Handy thought about where else to search and remembers the day when they both saw two shooting stars. "Feathers, do you remember when you smurfed us to that hill to watch the sunset? Maybe he's there..."
The stork turned to him and nodded until she turned right back around and flew to where they had smurfed a month back. Handy then takes a deep breath in and exhales, placing his hand on his front pocket with the letter and the necklace inside, hoping he would find Hefty soon.
Elsewhere, feeling weak and looking very pale, Hefty smurfed as far away as he could and didn't bother to look back. He couldn't even know how long he had been walking for, but he still ventured not knowing where he was going or where he would go. It felt like he had been walking for hours in the cold dead of the night as he started to feel a little chill. He wrapped both his arms around himself slightly, rubbing them a little to stay warm. All seemed very hopeless for the muscled Smurf until he soon came across something familiar. He looked up and saw a very steep hill up ahead as he remembered when he and Handy once smurfed there to watch the sunset.
Without a hesitation, he decided to climb up the long hill. It would've taken him a minute for him to smurf up there. However, from the lack of exercise and endurance, it had taken him more than he would've guessed. As he finally reached to the top of the hill, he suddenly grew exhausted and catches his breath. Hefty then gets back up on his feet and walks up to where the flowers had bloomed. He looked around at all the flowers in different varieties of colors and decides to sit down in the bed of blossoms.
He sighed deeply as he looked up to the stars, remembering the night he and Handy came up here and saw two shooting stars. He remembered the wish he had wished for when he told the Handy Smurf about it. The Smurf with the heart tattoo looked up at the twinkling stars for a few more minutes while the clouds rolled slowly into the sky. The moon was nowhere to been seen, probably hiding behind the clouds as Hefty looks back down at the flowers again. They were very familiar to the ones he had smurfed before when he and the engineer came to this land for the first time. That's when it hit him when he remembered that they were the same flowers Handy used to smurf him a little flower crown on their date.
Hefty then picks one of the flowers and held it in both his hands and thought about that time Handy made the crown, listening in his mind the sounds of their laughter.
Ahwwww, you look so cute!
I feel ridiculous...
Heehee! Oh Hefty, those flowers really look good on you.
Heheh... well the only flower I rather hold on to, is you... My precious little flower...
Ahwww, Hefty...
His eyes started to glisten as he looked upon the flower he held. The color was blue, the same color of his skin, his eyes and Handy's necklace. He had thought about the necklace with the heart-shaped sapphire diamond, wondering if Handy had noticed it after he left. But he doubted it while he stared more at the flower until he began to pick at each petal. There were quite a few petals, but he didn't care. Hefty picked each one slowly and disposed them to the ground one by one. There was one last petal left on the stem to pick as he yanked it out and stared at it. He sighed once again and dropped the last one and threw the stem away. After that, he spread out his legs a bit and laid back to look back up at the stars again.
More clouds rolled on by while the moon was still nowhere to be seen. There was some kind of light illuminating behind the clouds, and it looked pretty big in size. On most nights the moon would beam in the colors of white. But for some reason tonight, while the strong Smurf still looked up to the sky, a different color had appeared from behind the large pillows of clouds. Hefty soon noticed the color illuminating around the clouds that almost seemed too good to be true. It looked like it was something he had hoped for that he had been waiting for a long time. He suddenly sat back up still looking to the clouds as they were moving right along feeling something good was about to happen.
"C-can it be...?" he said to himself as his eyes were fixated to the huge colored light behind the clouds.
And then after the clouds had disappeared, Hefty stood up from the ground and gave out a shocking gasp. The moon had finally appeared before his very eyes. But it was no ordinary moon... it was a blue moon...
His wish had come true after all. The blue moon was enormous in size as it lit up the night sky with its beautiful vibrant blue color. Hefty still couldn't believe his eyes as he still gazed upon its beauty. Then it hit him that he had remembered that same night when he first came to Smurf Paradise with Handy, thinking in his mind...
You are something else. I tell ya you're beautiful, but you smurf around and say I am the most beautiful out of all the Smurfs.
But it's truuuue!
Ok, tell me this... How beautiful am I?
You're more beautiful than a blue moon...
R...really?
Oh Hefty, of course you are...
Hefty had remembered when Handy told him that he was more beautiful than what he was looking at right now. But somehow, while he gazed up at the giant lunar blue sphere, he didn't feel it. He realized not only he didn't feel it, but... he also felt truly alone now that Handy didn't love him anymore after everything he had done for him. His eyes soon started to tear and placed his hand on his aching heart. He then closed his eyes and turned his head to the ground, feeling tears starting to form. Then he let himself fall onto his knees as he shut his eyes tighter and clenched his other hand to the ground. His body shook and his tears streamed down his face while he pressed his hand closer to his strong chest.
"Handy..."
And without any hope in mind, he fell back to the ground completely and started to cry. He lay on his side with his head covered over his arms as he cried softly in the bed of flowers. His spirits were very low and had no more strength to smurf on. He felt as if this was the end, now that his heart was shattered and has lost everything that meant to him, even the Smurf he had truly loved.
Not too far from where Hefty laid, Handy was still flying on the stork. He was on his way to the hillside when he also saw the blue moon already, remembering that this was Hefty's wish when they saw the shooting stars weeks ago. After flying for almost an hour and a half now, Handy finally sees the hill from afar, still hoping Hefty would be there. He and Feathers came closer to the hill and soon spots Hefty down there. Relived, and thanked the heavens above, he cried out his name as Feathers was about to land.
"HEFTY!"
Hefty thought he was still hearing the voices in his head again as he still cried. When they had finally landed, Handy soon jumps off Feathers' back and runs to Hefty as tears streamed down his face already.
"Hefty...!" The inventor then hugs him hastily and began to cry.
The strongman jumped a little and realized it wasn't the voices he was hearing in his head when he felt someone touch him. He turned his head slightly and seen Handy had come looking desperately for him while tears still ran down his face.
"Handy...?"
Handy holds him tight as his body begins to shake. He wasn't able to say anything and cried more in his chest. Hefty then looks to him and didn't say anything. He sat up from the ground and still stared at him with more tears streaming down his face until Handy looks up to him.
"I don't want to go! I don't want you to stay here alone! I... I..." He couldn't finish as more tears streamed down the handyman's cheeks.
The Smurf who still felt very weak burrowed his eyebrows slightly, seeing him cry more. He begins to close his eyes and turns his head away and sighed sadly.
"How can I go back with you... if I already smurfed enough damage? I don't deserve to step one foot back in the village for any reason. No one will care..." Afterwards, more tears fell upon him as he avoided any eye contact with Handy.
"No...! You have no idea!" The Smurf with the visor cried as he takes the letter out of his pocket and hands it to him. "Please read it...!"
Hefty turns back and saw that the letter was about two feet long in Smurf size. He slowly takes the letter from Handy's grip and wipes his tears in his eyes a little. Before he could read the letter, he looked back up to him for a brief second and then back down at the long letter. He took another sigh as he began to read to see who wrote back. Once he started reading the first few sentences, his eyes had opened up widely and gave a little gasp. Before he could read the rest he looked back to Handy, feeling puzzled and yet very surprised.
"Smurfette...? S-she wrote back...?"
Handy also wipes his tears away and nods slightly, waiting for Hefty to read the whole letter. Hefty then looks back to the letter and begins to read what Smurfette had written.
Dear Hefty,
You probably recognize my handwriting. Yes it's me, Smurfette. Right now, I am at Shini's house together with Vanity. But that's not important now...
What's important is that I read your letter and now that I know what's been happening between you two, I feel truly sorry for what happened that night when you smurfed to my house. I never really thought about how much I broke Handy's heart that day, since to me he was just like every other Smurf who loved me. In my world there always had been just one Smurf who I wanted to be with... and that one was you, Hefty. But, and here I'm telling you the same thing I just told Farmer and some others, you don't know how it is when 99 guys are in love with you and you try your best in giving them as much love back. It's just too much... And it's even worse when there's actually just one of them who makes you feel like you're smurf on air.
You have no idea how many times I had to go out with someone and had told them that I love them, because that's what they wanted to hear from me. But that day when Handy took me out and told me that he loved me and even smurfed that gift for me, I felt that I had enough from everything. He was the first Smurf I ever told the truth: That I didn't love him. I didn't open his gift because I knew, whatever was inside there, I didn't deserve it, since I already gave him an answer he didn't want to hear. As I left and heard him cry, I felt absolutely nothing, because, like I said before, to me he was just one of many who loved me.
I didn't think about how much I hurt him that day and that he cried the whole night through just because of me... I also never knew that the friendship between you and Handy meant so much to you. All I ever thought about was that I wanted to be with you. Everything else meant nothing to me... But now that I know how much trouble I brought between your friendship, I realized how selfish I acted...
It never was your fault, since I was the one who confused you so much that night, without even knowing. So, I am really sorry for everything that happened between us. And please, also tell Handy that I'm sorry for hurting him so much back then. Plus now, after I saw the pretty jewelry he did for Ashli and Shini, I can imagine how much love he put into the gift for me I never opened.
Now to something else: How can you ever think that I would hate you? I could never do that. That day when everyone found out about you and Handy being together, I was of course angry and disappointed... But I never hated you. I still loved you, even though I knew your heart belonged to someone else now. There wasn't a day I didn't think of you and wished you would come back. I just stayed in my house all day and never talked to anybody but Vanity about everything, because I thought no one else would understand me... Until today, when we both went to Shini's house after we noticed that Gutsy was snooping around. Ashli and Farmer were also there, and I finally was able to tell them everything that weighed heavily on my mind since months. It felt so good talking to them, because I almost forgot what smurfy friends they really are.
But, especially now that you truly apologized to me for what you did, how can I hate you? As I read your letter, I felt tears filling up my eyes, because I recognized how much Handy means to you, and I felt guilty that I actually am the one who destroyed your friendship, which never was my intention.
Nobody hates you, Hefty. And I bet not even Papa does, even if it seems as if he all terribly miss you. And when I say "you", I mean both of you. We don't want just Handy to come back all alone. You don't know how much we need both of you back here. And to prove you how much we do, Shini had the nice idea to let everysmurf sign here.
I really hope you two will get on with each other again soon. And please come back.
We miss you,
Smurfette.
Hey, Hefty! Hang in there, lad! We're all counting on you and your mate to come back real soon! Don't give up so easily... Because we all know you're better than that. It takes a real Smurf to be strong like you and have the guts as well! So stay strong and come back home!
Gutsy Smurf.
Oh, Hefty... I'm sure Handy will forgive you for what you did. For everything you had gone through just to be together with him, he just has to. Please don't give up! Stay strong! We hope you two can smurf back home soon. It's not the same without having you here. Wir vermissen euch.
Shini Smurf.
I hate writing letters, but I'll keep this short and simple. We need you, pal. How can we smurf on without you if anything bad were to happen? Remember when you and the others smurfed to New York to help us save Papa from Gargamel? You lead us to a rebellion against him! You're like our hero, only Clumsy was truly the Smurf who saved the day in the end. Without both you and Handy back home, the whole village is lost! Please don't do this to us, buddy. I hate to hear that you wish to never return because we really need you... I don't want this to be our last 'goodbye'...
Grouchy Smurf.
What do I hear? You want Handy to come back all alone? You must be kidding... I promise you, when the both of you come back; I will stop eating so much. ...At least for one day. And I will try to jog with you every morning! I know you always wanted to do that with me! Oh, and... to be honest... my bed is broken... I still wonder how that could happen. Anyway, no one wants to repair it. We need Handy back here, and not only him. Remember that I wanted to jog with you, Hefty! I'm serious! I'm sure it will be fun, even though I know that I will give up after a half minute already...
Greedy Smurf.
Oh, sweetie... You don't know the half you have done for me. Because of you, I now have somesmurf who truly loves me. And I love him back. And I'm very happy to realize that Farmer is the Smurf who keeps my heart smurfing. I know I still had some feelings for you after leaving you and Handy that day, but I gotten over it after thinking about what you said. And I want you all to come back home. You mean so much to us, Hefty... And please, I hope you and Handy make up soon, because I don't want to see you two separate after all you have been through.
Ashli Smurf.
Please don't leave us. Like Ashli said, you mean so much to us. And I bet Handy still means a whole lot to you. Love hurts sometimes. But in the end, it always comes out strong. Because love never dies, it lives on forever like mine will for her. And I know yours will too for him. We miss you, Hefty, and Handy too.
Farmer Smurf.
We're all very sorry for everything that's happened. I never knew you two had something going on. Deep down, even though you two were the best of friends since childhood, I had a feeling you two would smurf out of the closet eventually. After all, there are only 99 Smurfs and a female, including two more already taken. It is a shame to see Handy come back here all by himself. And I regret ever saying anything about you thinking we're better off without you, because now I know better. We want you all to smurf back safely as soon as possible. And if it's not too much to ask... do you think maybe you can smurf some of those marvelous gems with you? They look so breath-taking!
Vanity Smurf.
Faith and begorrah! Why didn't you tell me there is a mine where you guys are? You must take me there as soon as possible so I can venture this wonderful mine full of diamonds! I know Vanity will sure be happy since he already mentioned about it! And Hefty... don't go throwing everything away for what you've done so far with Handy. You are needed just as much as any other Smurf. And we want you to come back with Handy.
Miner Smurf.
I'm very sorry for everything that happened. I didn't know what was going on back then when Papa let Crazy sound the alarm and let everysmurf scour every house in the village. I only found out a few days later after I realized that the two of you were gone. You did so much for your love and now you want to give up? You must be joking. Even though all this drama really inspires me... Oh I know! I will paint a picture of you two, when you're back home again, oui?
Painter Smurf.
HAHAHA! Hey, guys! If you all smurf back soon, I have a big surprise waiting for you! And no, it's not a trick. I really miss having you two around. I'm sorry about disturbing any of you the time before this whole thing started. But I was so excited; I wanted to end it with a bang. But seriously, please come back. We don't want you and Handy to not talk to each other for a long time. You two were meant for each other. Anyway, we hope you'll get back together and return home.
Jokey Smurf.
Hey, I know we hadn't much contacted before everything started, but that's just one more reason why I want you to come back. I think that's the longest time anysmurf was ever been apart from the family. You two will get along with each other again sooner or later, promise me. He can't be mad at you forever.
Tracker Smurf.
Hey. I just wanted to say that Baker and I are really sorry. We didn't know you wanted to surprise Handy with a romantic dinner, or better yet, be left alone. I figured it would've been either Smurfette or Ashli you wanted to smurf for. But I was wrong... And I feel just awful for having to take Papa's orders to have you taken away from the one you love dearly. As for Gutsy... we both made up. Baker and I felt truly terrible for months after we had done to him. And I feel it was all my fault for smurfing his arm like that. But we all know now and understand everything. I just wish I would've known sooner. I've been living through the guilt ever since. Please don't leave us. We'll make it up to the both of you for when the two of you come back. I know you said before you would make up for what you wanted us to do, but there's no need. We love doing what's best for others. And I'm happy that you and Handy are together. I hope you two make up soon.
Chef Smurf.
Listen, I am sorry for what I wanted to do to you that day when Papa wanted me and Chef to smurf you two away from each other. Good thing I couldn't see what Chef did to Gutsy, since he knocked me out, heh. I hope you can forgive me. I'm glad you could escape that day. But now it's time for both of you to come back. I want to apologize to you two face-to-face when you're back home again, so don't even think about staying there any longer...!
Baker Smurf.
I still think that everything was my fault, even if everysmurf is telling me it was not. You don't know how often I already thought about what would have happened if I had never find out about you two that one night. Oh, I can't describe how much I miss you two... You were always there when I needed help with anything. If you never want to come back home, I think I'll never be able to be happy in my life again. I just wish everything would be as it used to be, so we can live together as a family again.
Clumsy Smurf.
Hello, it's Brainy. I feel just awful for smurfing the last letter to you guys. I never knew this all happened after you smurfed me back yours. Everyone who has signed here all want Handy and you back. Even the entire village of Smurfs all know about it. But I can't say much for Papa though... I finally told him what happened when I helped you guys escaped. He didn't seem too upset or angry. He looked rather disappointed and depressed. It's almost as if he feels he's really hurt you two so much. But I can't say the same for you, Hefty, seeing that Handy won't talk to you anymore. But once you and him read this long letter we all smurfed, maybe he'll realize how much he means to you. And you'll realize how much we want not just Handy to smurf back home, but you also. Please reconsider? We will not take 'no' for an answer. We love you, Hefty. And I know Handy down the line still loves you too with all his heart. We're still not sure about Papa. He still won't say anything. No matter what he says, we all still want you home. Hopefully, Papa will open up after all these months. Until then... Hefty, be strong. And Handy? Hefty is deeply sorry for what he had caused you. And Smurfette is truly sorry for what she did to hurt both you and Hefty. Please... come back home. After all, we're still a family. And no Smurf in our family should be casted out just because of the love you two feel for each other. We miss you all and love you very much.
Brainy Smurf.
After reading the letter signed from everyone back at home, Hefty was completely speechless. He couldn't believe not only Smurfette had written back, but everyone one, including Baker and Chef. His hands started to shake a little as tears soon began to fill up his eyes once more. He shut his eyes tight while his tears streamed down his cheeks and covered his face with one hand and started to cry again.
"Do you see... that no one hates you for whatever happened back then?" Handy said to him. "...That they all want you to come back..?"
He looks at him as he also starts to cry again. Hefty had looked back up to him as more tears fell down.
"But... How can I... if you don't love me anymore...?" He soon begins to feel more sharp pains in his chest and quickly grabs hold of his heart, squinting his eyes shut and strained. "Oh God, it hurts so much...!" Hefty cried and starts to pant a little from the tight squeeze in his heart.
Handy quickly places his hand on Hefty's with which he held his heart and soon spoke. "Hefty..! Please, Hefty... I know we didn't talk to each other for so long. That I always ran away whenever you wanted to tell me how sorry you are... But I... I only was shocked and confused at the time. And I know that I smurfed my necklace away that day when you told me about everything... I was just so upset that I didn't think about what I did..." He then held his hand tighter as he continued. "Do you remember what I said when you asked me if I would still love you, even though you did something wrong in the past?"
Before he'd finish, he took his necklace out of his pocket slowly, as tears fell down his face and began to shake a little. "...I never stopped loving you...!"
Hefty had looked back to him and looks down at the necklace in shock. The stone glistened and sparkled more beautifully from the moon's light above. He didn't know what to say as he looks back up to the giant blue moon in the night sky. He gazed up at the blue lunar for a while until he sighed deeply and turns back to him.
"...Then... how come for some reason... my heart still feels empty...? How come... I still feel nothing...?"
The little mechanic with red pencil on his left ear looked at him worriedly. He then placed his hand on his cheek and looks into his eyes.
"Because you don't believe me..." he then spoke. "I'm so sorry that I ever broke your heart this much... Please believe me... that I still love you..." Before he finished, Handy kisses him softly on his lips. "Because if you don't... my wish won't come true..."
"Your wish...?" Hefty blinked a few times, confusingly.
"The wish I had when we saw the shooting stars... I wished for that we would celebrate the New Year with all our friends at home together... With everyone accepting us... But..." He then paused for minute and looks at him sadly, stroking his cheek. "It can't come true without you..."
After hearing everything, especially Handy's wish, the strong Smurf looked to him surprised as they both got themselves up from the ground. Hefty's dark blue eyes started to glisten in the light of the blue moon while he gazed upon Handy who still had his hand on his cheek. He gently placed his hand on Handy's with his still in place and shut his eyes for a few moments. And then, after being sad for a long period of time, Hefty began to smile. More tears filled his eyes as he opens them again and lets them fall onto Handy's hand. His eyes were now more beautiful than the color of the moon's light that had now beamed over the two Smurfs.
Handy can feel Hefty's tears fall on his hand as he also begins to smile. He too let his tears also fall down on Hefty's hand and looks deep into his eyes, feeling his own heart beating a little strong. "...You're so beautiful..." he spoke softly to him.
Hefty looked deep into his eyes and felt his heart beginning to beat strongly and said, "...So are you..."
The smaller Smurf then let go of his cheek and hugs him tenderly, listening to his heart. "I'm so sorry, Hefty... That I made you feel like you're worthless..."
"Handy..." the larger Smurf began to speak as he wraps his arms gently around Handy's back and caresses the back of his head. "You have no idea how happy you've made me..." He sighed deeply feeling his heart beating faster while he continued. "All that matters to me now is that I'm here with you... And you will always have a place somewhere deep down in my heart... Because no matter what happens... I will always love you for the rest of my life..."
Hefty begins to hug him tighter and sighs again, saying softly into his ear, "I love you, Handy..."
Handy holds him tighter as his own heart also begins to beat faster, "I love you too, Hefty..." He then looks up to him and said, "And as I told you so many times before... I always will..."
The little Smurf soon let go of him and gives him the necklace which he still held in his hands the whole time. He smiles sweetly at him, waiting for him to put it around Handy's neck. Hefty smiles back at him wholeheartedly as takes the necklace from him and buffs up the crystal with his chest. As it started to shine more beautifully, he looks back to him and undoes the clasps and hooks the studded necklace around Handy's neck. The heart-shaped sapphire diamond dangled and sparkled more in the moonlight until Handy's eyes started to sparkle as beautiful as the necklace with the moon's beams shining down upon him and Hefty. The muscular Smurf couldn't believe his own eyes as he gazed upon him more with love in his eyes dreamily. After that, he wrapped his arms around Handy's waist and pulls him closer into his ever-loving embrace.
Handy had then wrapped his arms around his neck and closes his eyes. He sighed happily as he rubs his nose against Hefty's softly. Hefty smiled more as he closed his eyes as well while the blue moon beamed even brighter upon the young lovers, as if they were literally glowing. He held him closer in his arms, feeling Handy's heartbeat tenderly against his as he begins to regain his strength from Handy's love growing stronger for him. He sighed with remorse, letting the last of his tears fall down and nuzzled his head against the mechanic's neck.
"Handy Smurf..." he whispered softly.
While they stayed locked in their strong embrace, Handy soon looks up to him with his eyes glistening in the moonlight and smiled happily. He begins to stroke Hefty's face with his hand and gazed into his beautiful blue eyes.
"Hefty..." he spoke softly and whispered. "My beautiful Hefty..."
'Through our childhood days, when we were smurfy and young,
We would laugh and play, as we smurfed along.
You would carry me close to that one thing we both share,
Is our friendship and love, no smurf cannot tear.'
Handy had begun to sing his beautiful song for him he hadn't sung in months on end. Hefty smiled sweetly as he listened to his words and decides to sing the next part.
'But now, something has changed between us. Something I cannot see.
Is it more than we've imagined? Was this meant to be?
I found myself yearning, all through my life,
Knowing who I knew for so long has been there by my side...'
"Oh, Hefty..." he said happily as he begins the sing the next part.
'When I am weak, you'll be my strength to keep me strong,
And when you are close to me, I know you'd do me no wrong.
You are the only smurf, who is proud and true,
And keeps me happy, now that I have you...'
As they held hands in theirs, they both smiled at one another and both began to sing altogether.
'I have fallen in love, with the Smurf I know,
Our hearts have become one, as you begin to show,
That you'll always be there,
No matter where we go,
Our love will stay strong, true and blue, now that we're here.'
The blue moon still shined as the stars in the heavens up above tinkled and sparkled when the two Smurf continued to sing the last verse of their song.
"And no smurf..." Hefty sung.
"...can ever tear us apart..." Handy sung back.
'Because now we are together as one... heart to heart...'
"I love you..." Handy whispered and smiles dreamily at him. He then closes his eyes and slowly presses his lips on Hefty's.
The strongman accepts the kiss and brought the little Smurf closer with his hand wrapped around his waist once more and the other cupping his cheek. His face begins to blush as he deepens the kiss more passionately with his heart now racing faster and beating much stronger than ever before.
The inventor then wraps his arms around his back and strokes it gently. He can feel Hefty's heart beating as strong as his own and holds him tight. His face too started to blush and begins to lick over his lips. Hefty had soon opened his mouth slightly to let Handy slide his tongue inside his and kiss him more lovingly.
Handy licks over his tongue passionately, finally tasting him again after all these weeks. Later, he starts to pant a little as his heart begins to race much faster. Hefty swerved his tongue into Handy's as well and explores his taste buds, sending him chills all over his spine and made himself waggle his tail frantically. Handy then holds him tighter and deepens the kiss, blushing deeply. The hulked stud slowly moves his hand and begins to rub his back. He started to breathe heavily through his nose and waggled his tail more.
Their kiss had lasted for a while with the night still young and the blue moon taking into full effect upon the stars from the skies above. Handy kisses him a little longer until he breaks it. He smiles at him and pants a little and then snuggles up to his cheek. Hefty smiles back at him and rubs his back a little more until he moved his hand away. He took Handy's hand and had then placed it close to his beating heart, taking in a deep, long sigh as it started to race more against his hand. Handy had felt Hefty's heart racing fast and strong until he placed his head on his strong chest.
"...Hefty..?" he soon spoke.
"Hmm?" Hefty looked to him and wondered.
"Did you know where you wanted to go to as you left today...?"
"I... I don't know..." The strong smurf sadly looked to him. "I had no idea where I was gonna go, until I came across here where we smurfed last time."
Handy then snuggles into his chest and said, "I'm so glad that I found you here..."
"But... How would you have known if I was here?"
"Feathers and I already searched almost everywhere for you until this place came to my mind... I just hoped I would find you here. And somehow... I also felt it..."
"You felt it...?"
The little engineer smiled a little and nodded. "I felt in in my heart that you would be here..."
"And... you smurfed all this way... just ta find me...?" The muscleman asked.
"Yes, I... I actually wanted to follow you right after you left and I found my necklace on the floor. But I already was too late as I smurfed outside... And when I read the letter Wolke gave me, I knew I had to find you, no matter what..."
When Hefty listened to every word he said, his eyes started to tear once more and quickly pulls Handy's head closer to his heart. "Oh, Handy... I'm so sorry..." his voice broke with his tears falling down from his cheeks, hugging him tight as he cried softly.
Handy can soon feel Hefty's tears falling down and also starts to cry again. "No... I should've smurfed out of the bedroom sooner to tell you how much I still loved you..." he said as he strokes his back. "But I just stayed inside and didn't say anything, making you feel more hurt than ever before... For that... I am sorry..."
Hefty then looked back to him with more tears streaming down his face. He begins to wipe the tears off of Handy's face and started to speak. "Ya know... You're the only Smurf who I can truly rely on that I can open up to. I can never show my true feelings and inner emotions to any Smurf other than Papa. But you...? Oh... you're the only true Smurf around who I can relate to."
He blinked as a few more tears drizzled down. Handy smiled at him as he looks into his eyes and pulls his head down and kisses him softly on the cheek, washing away his tears. Hefty smiled back a little and then held him closer in his arms.
"There wasn't a day that I had stopped thinkin' about you. Even before we both had our first night last year together, all I could ever think about... was you..." Hefty said.
Handy then started to blush slightly and felt how his heart started to race a little again.
"Every single day, after we had our first night together, I was excited every time I've seen you..." he said and began to giggle a bit. "The first days were terrible though, when I always blushed and had to hide it from the others."
"Ya mean back when we celebrated the New Year together?" Hefty laughed a little.
"Yeah!" Handy replied and laughs with him. "And the days before New Year too, hehehe."
"Heheheh... You were so cute when ya had ta hide your flushed face from everyone."
"Heftyyyy...!" The little Smurf giggled and blushes more as he pulls his hat down to hide his face like he did it back then.
"Aww Handy... Ya still got me goin'..." the buffed Smurf laughed wholeheartedly.
Handy soon hugs him hastily, still laughing and then takes a hold of both of his hands and looks up to him, smiling. "Let's smurf back to our house." He says to him.
Hefty looks to him with a happy smile and replied, "Okay. But first..." Before he continued, he looks back up to the blue moon, still shining bright above them. "...I wanna gaze up at the moon a little longer... Is that okay with you?"
"Of course it is!" Handy replied while he also looks up to the moon and holds his hands a little tight.
Hefty turns back and smiles sweetly at him and decides to bring him down gently to sit in the bed full of flowers with him. Handy sits closer to him and kisses his cheek before he lays his head on his broad shoulder. The masculine blue man then wraps his big, strong arms around his little Smurf close as he drew out another long sigh. He turns to look back up at the blue moon with him while they both gazed upon its breath-taking beauty of nature.
"Have you ever seen anythin' more beautiful than this up close?" Hefty asked. "Oh... it sure is a very smurfy sight to see this from up here..."
The inventor placed his hand on his and giggled. "Yes, I've seen something more beautiful than this before..."
The strongman sighed again happily, feeling his own heart beating stronger. "I never want this night to end... It's so beautiful..."
While Handy looked up at the moon, he lies down on Hefty's lap and held his hand, stroking it softly with his thumb. Hefty begins to brush his hand against Handy's shoulder and lays his head on his. His eyes glistened while he stared more at the large, lunar sphere. Everything was so peaceful and relaxing for the two Smurfs for quite some time, until Handy started to speak.
"...Have you ever thought about taking a walk up there...?"
"To the moon...?" Hefty questioned. "Well... I know Dreamy had always wanted to venture past the stars... But... I'm not so sure..."
"Hehehe. Well, I just wonder how it would be like to walk on the moon. Especially when it's blue like now..."
"Yeah, you right... That would be somethin' unimaginable..."
"... Someday I'll build a machine so we can fly up there... Just us two..."
"Oh, Handy..." Hefty said looking down to him as Handy looks back to him, smiling sweetly. "You'd really do that...? He smiled back at him.
"Of course I would!" he giggled and snuggles more into his lap.
"Hmmm... You truly are the Smurf who I ever fell in love with..."
Hefty then holds his hand tighter and stroked his shoulder a bit more. Handy sighed happily until he pulls his head down a bit and kisses his nose. Hefty starts to giggle a bit and rubs his nose against the little thinker's and looks down at him into his gorgeous, blue eyes. Handy smiles at him as his eyes sparkled while Hefty felt his own heart racing and smiled widely at him.
"You're eyes... they're so enchanting..." Hefty spoke in a soft tone.
"Aww, Hefty..." Handy blushed and felt his heart beating faster.
The broad Smurf's eyes began to sparkle as his as he looked down at Handy a little while longer. He soon lays him down gently to the ground and hovers over him slightly, still gazing down at Handy's beauty. His breath starts to quicken while his heart rate increases faster. The young Smurf blushes deeper as he looks into his eyes and then lays his arms around his neck. Hefty too started to blush until he slowly moved his head closer to Handy's, feeling his heart sky-rocketing through his chest and closed his eyes with his luscious lips pursed gently. Handy pulls his head a little closer as he also closed his eyes and kisses him gently.
Hefty blushes even deeper and placed his hand on Handy's cheek. He kisses him slowly, not wanting to rush their precious time together so quickly with the blue moon still out. Handy starts to stroke the back of his head softly, kissing him tenderly while Hefty repeatedly kisses his lips. The muscled stud then moves his other hand to bring Handy's upper body upwards with his hand behind his back. The little mechanic sits up with him and doesn't even think about breaking the kiss. Hefty continues to kiss him passionately until he begins to rub Handy's back softly with his hand, caressing him with his sensational touches from his fingertips and sending him chills down his spine.
Handy then moves a little closer and let his heart beat against his. He soon slides with his hand under his hat and strokes his head gently, while Hefty begins to chirr at the feeling of his fingers being brushed against his head. The brawny, handsome, Smurf kisses him much longer until he breaks the kiss and starts to pant a little as his heart raced more against his.
The slender, slightly-built Smurf looks deep into his eyes, still stroking his head when he too also starts to pant. Hefty rubs his back a bit more until he ventures his hand up inside Handy's hat, stroking his head softly. His eyes hooded heavily as he looks deeper into his glistening eyes, gazing more upon his lover filled with lust.
"Handy..." he whispered softly to him.
Handy pulls his head even closer, placing his forehead on his and closes his eyes. Hefty then rubs his nose softly against his and kisses it sweetly. He then licks over Handy's sweet lips and starts to suckle on his lower lip tenderly. The younger blue man gently presses his lips against his once more as he holds him tight with one hand still under his hat and the other on his back. Slowly, but surely, while Hefty still had his hand under Handy's hat, he slid his hat off carefully and had then removed his red pencil from his left ear, placing them both into the flower bed.
Handy had then let himself fall back to the ground again slowly and pulls Hefty with him. Hefty breaks the kiss once again and begins to stroke Handy's bald head ever so softly. He then traces his fingers over his ear, caressing the outlines ever so gentle as he looks to him, smiling sweetly and sighed. The smaller Smurf soon giggled a little at the feeling while the strong Smurf caressed over his ear more. He looks up to him and smiles back with his eyes hooded, and his heart beating fast.
"I love you..." Hefty said as he began to stroke the temples on his cheek, "I love you with all my heart and smurf..."
"And I love you..." Handy replied back sighing happily and still stroking his head, "My heart belongs to you..."
After Hefty had removed Handy's hat earlier, Handy removes his hat as well and places it to the ground next to his. Hefty then moves closer to him with his bald head revealed as blue as the little mechanic's.
"Always and forever..." the stud whispered to him.
Handy smiled dreamily and placed both of his hands on his cheeks, rubbing his nose against his once more. Closing his eyes and smiling more at the feeling; Hefty rubs his nose in return and then places his hand underneath his chin and licks over his lips again. He trailed his tongue to let himself inside his mouth as Handy begins to open up for him to let his tongue inside and licks over it, with the acceptance of the little Smurf closing his eyes as well. Hefty begins to explore inside once again and tastes Handy's sweet taste buds, entering deeper and kissing him more with forbidden pleasure.
The inventor begins to pant, licking his tongue with passion and strokes his cheeks with his thumbs. The large, masculine body builder could feel his heart racing fast as his face blushed deep red. He remained in place, still not wanting to rush their intimacy too soon and moves his other hand to trail his fingertips down Handy's chest. Handy then feels a chill down his spine because of Hefty's gentle touch as his heart raced faster. Hefty continued to brush up on Handy's chest with his fingertips while he still explored inside the Smurf's mouth more passionately, beginning to make both him and Handy become aroused.
Meanwhile, while the blue moon was still in place beaming in the starry night sky, Papa Smurf had already conducted one of his potions to look at the visions that would happen on the night of the blue moon. He had seen both Hefty and Handy together on top of the hillside through his magic elixirs while they were kissing and lying in the colorful flowerbed together. The eldest Smurf of the village couldn't help but smile, knowing that they were alright and were safe from any harm. After months on end with his sons being away for so long; Papa had found it in his heart that he could not separate them from their love. He found that their love for each other was true and very strong. He had also known that their love for each other really meant something more than just their friendship and their brother ship. The guilt the leader had felt in his heart for very long had been lifted when he had witnessed his two Smurfs showing how much they had truly loved each other not just because of their intimacy time before. While he watched them for a little while longer through the smokey vision, a knock suddenly came at the door.
"Papa?" a voice was heard. "It's me Brainy. Is it alright if I came in?"
Papa suddenly jumps a little when he heard his door knocking. He looks to the door and back at the vision as it slowly disappeared. "...Yes, come in." He said lowly.
Brainy soon opens the door and let himself in. "Hey... I know you're still a bit unpleased with what I had told you, but I just wanted to make sure if you were alright..."
"It's okay Brainy, I'm fine." Papa responded while he looked at him.
The braniac looked to the floor with his hand behind his head and the other adjusting his glasses. He still felt awful for telling their beloved leader the truth in having to help Hefty and Handy that day during the raid. He felt most of this was all his fault for letting them both escape from anything else that would happen if Papa or the other Smurfs were to find them. Brainy then looks back up to him and began to speak.
"Papa... I... I'm very sorry... That I kept this from you for this long... And since... it's almost the end of the year, I..." He paused for a moment until he continued. "...I just figured maybe it wouldn't be too much to ask if... you're willing to have them come back home... The thing is; all the Smurfs now miss them so much. And what is there to celebrate, if you can't enjoy it with the ones that you love...?"
Papa Smurf then sits down on a chair and sighed. "I know... We've never celebrated any holiday without the whole family." He said sadly, as he looks to the floor.
The smart Smurf walks up to him as he spoke, "Then... don't you think it's about time... that we should have everysmurf reunited together as one? ...That we should have Hefty and Handy smurf back...?"
"...I..." the old Smurf in the red hat and pants paused a little and looks up to him until he continued. "...There were so many times already I thought of getting them back here..."
"...You really miss them... do you...?"
"...Yes... Of course I do... they're my sons..." Papa replied and sighs again, putting his head down and closes his eyes. "But I guess they don't ever want to look into my eyes again... after everything I did to them..."
"Are you kidding...? They both miss you very much." Brainy said, "They smurf back to us saying how much they miss you and wish to come back home! ...They're just afraid that they can't be together if you and any of the others won't accept them for their love..."
Everything was soon quiet for a while as Papa Smurf began to think. He then looks up to him again and said, "...Then we need to tell them they don't have to be afraid..."
"Y-you... you mean it...?" Brainy reacted feeling quite surprised.
Papa nodded slightly and continued. "They can't live away from home forever... and we need them here... everyone misses them..." His eyes begin to fill with tears. "Especially... their old Papa..."
The young apprentice's eyes begin to glisten as tears filled his eyes as well.
"Papa Smurf..." he said as he then comes closer to his father and gives him a tender hug.
The old Smurf in the white beard soon holds him tight as his tears begin to fall down. "Oh Brainy, I'm so sorry for everything I did...!"
"We're all sorry, for not telling you sooner about them this whole time..." Brainy spoke in a broken voice as he started to cry.
"No... You don't have to be sorry." Papa said as he rubs his back soothingly. "The way I acted was wrong... I just wish I would've never smurfed them out of the village..."
"I wish they'd come back home right now..." the nerdy Smurf cried more and sniffled.
"Then let us tell them as soon as possible that they can smurf home..." Papa said. Brainy looks to him, nodding slightly as they both agreed to have both Hefty and Handy back at home very soon.
