Although he had fallen asleep, it wasn't for long. Takato lay twisting and curling and eventually he was awake...
Thinking back at the moment when Henry, trying to give a kiss on Takato's forehead, slipped away and instead kissed his lips was sending a shiver down his spine... Somwhere it felt good, but yet it felt wrong. That kiss on the forehead was something he could live with, because, indeed that was what mom's did as a sign of care. And Henry cared...
He sat up and looked at Henry. "O Henry." He whispered and carfully stood up, went outside the bedroom and on to the balcony, sitting on the edge his feet hanging in the air.
Those strong feelings from whom he'd thought they were eased out, were returning each time he thought at that moment where they lips touched. Altough Henry said it was an accident, Takato believed there was more about it... The way Henry had behaved the last 2 days made Takato think that his friend felt also more then jusft friendship. So he'd like to discuss it with him... 'But what if I'm wrong? Will he laugh at me? Be mad at me?' Takato sighted deeply. He looked at the stars, his crimson eyes shining in the moonlight. His thoughts dissapeard and hypnotised by the silver light his got in a peacfull trance, not knowing he was watched by a shadow in the door.
Takato in his yellow pyjamas without his goggles seated in a silver pool of light, his arms behind him, facing the moon, it was like he had an aura of innocence about him. How was it that this pure looking boy was so confused with the strong feelings for his best friend. That were the thoughts of the shadow that became Henry when he stepped onto the balcony in the moonlight. He also thought it was time to talk with Takato.
"Takato?"
Henry's soft voice woke Takato from his trance and turned his head around.
"You couldn't sleep huh?" Henry said smiling a little whilst sitting down besides
"Henry if I woke you up, I'm sorry."
"Nah, I just wanted to enjoy the moonlight." Henry said closing his eyes smining towards the moon.
Takato looked at Henry, he looked so peacefull. He sighted, it was time to talk with Henry...
"Henry,..." He paused. Henry opend one eye, that corned to look at Takato. He waited
"Henry did you like ever feel something for someone?"
"Depends on who and what you mean with 'feel'"
When there came no answer he opend both his eyes and looked at Takato. He saw the boy blushing, his hands in front of him, looking at them. He know it was now very difficult for him and so he tried to help him.
"You mean like feeling love for a girl, like Juri?"
By hearing this name Takato quickly looked up and right into Henry's eyes. God how he loved those eyes. 'Wait, did I really think that?' He thought. And quickly looked at his hands again blushing harder... Then he said softly
"Yes, something like that, but..."
Henry waited, Takato sighted...
"O Henry I can't."
"Takato it's alright, you can trust me.." Henry lay his arm around Takato's shoulders. Now Takato looked right in Henry's eyes. He took a deep breath and said
"Did you ever felt like this for another guy?"
Henry didn't laugh, he didn't yell, he just kept his arm around Takato's shoulders, and just retruned the question.
"Do you?" Takato was speachless, that wasn't exactly the answer he expected...
"Wel, err, I don't know, I err, it's wrong isn't it?"
"No it isn't." Henry said softly..
"But, I, it, I, it can't be right? A guy with another guy? I, I, it,..."
"Takato.." Henry interrupted him. "Love isn't bound by rules,... It's a feeling that just decides on its own. And if its between two guys then it is."
Takato sat in silence. Henry was already happy Takato confessed his feelings, but now it was time for the whole thruth so he looked at Takato and asked:
"Would you like to share with me who it is?"
Takato shiverd once, Henry noticed it, knowing he was close.
Takato's voice broke. "H,Henry, I, I can't" Takato said almost whispering..
Henry took him by his shoulders making him look right into his eyes.
"Takato, you asked me if I ever felt like that, and yes I do... I love you Takato..."
Takato's mouth dropped.
"I, you, I,... Henry,..." He suddenly broke out in tears and grabbed Henry crying with his head against Henry's chest... "I love you to Henryyyyy."
Henry a bit surprised, then lay his arms around Takato gave a kiss on the boy's brown hair. Smiled and with closed eyes he thought 'Finally'
Takato broke the hug and looked Henry right in the eyes,... moonlight shining on their faces,... Then he threw his arms around Henry's neck and with closed eyes his kissed him on his mouth. Henry a bit shocked didn't know what to do, but then went with it. Two boys, holding eachother, sharing a passionate kiss with closed eyes, bathing in the moonlight guarded by the stars.
They broke their kiss. Both holding their hands. Takato looked away and blushed. "I, I'm sorry Henry." Henry softly took Takato's chin making him looking at his face.
"You don't have to be Takato"
"Thanks Henry"
"You know, I've waited a long time for that kiss." Henry smiled...
"Wait, what? Long time?, but if you felt like this for so long, why didn't you tell me?"
"Same reason why you didn't tell me.."
Takato said no more. He understood.
"The moon is sure bright tonight." Henry said. Both watched at the moon, then again at eachoter, no word was said.. They enjoyed the silence, then looked at eachother again. "I think it's better we went back inside now." Henry said standing up offering Takato his hand.
"Kay" Takato took Henry's hand and got pulled up. As they stood, they kissed again. And then Henry went inside. Takato turned around once more to look at the stars thinking 'I so hope I'm not dreaming this." Then he turned back and followed Henry...
One of the stars suddenly moved and as a shooting star clear and bright it crossed the sky. Then the gnomemon winked once at the treehouse and with a happy giggling smile it dissapeard.
That night the two sleeping boys were holding eachoter never wanting to letgo again......
Dear readers, when Henry said, that love isn't bound by rules, he really meant that.. I really meant that. Love doesn't know differences between race, nationallity, believe, gender....
