The next day Vince and Howard failed to turn up for work.

Oh no thought Gideon what if I've got them fired?

Meanwhile, Fossil was in his office daydreaming about Bainbridge.

----------------------------------------Fossil's POV----------------------------------------------------------------

That weird woman with the accent is right. Ok so what if I am gay. We're grown up we can handle this. Oh god it's so ironic I'm firing gays

for being gay and yet I'm just like them. I can't handle this right now. Bainbridge is right I'm an idiot sometimes.

Why can't I accept the fact that I'm..that I'm... God I can't even think it. I can't even talk about it cause it will ruin my life.

Moon and Noir can't win and I can't let myself fall in love with Bainbridge.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bainbridge breezed into Bob's office and smiled "Hello, Bobby bob bob." he boomed in his fruity voice that he knew Bob loved.

Bob flung his arms around Bainbridge and kissed his moustache.

"Didya miss me bobby baby?"

"Of course I did dixie, you know I always miss you. Oh by the way, am I gay Bainbridge?"

"Why of course why do you think you shag me nightly? Now we have to keep this quiet remember or else we'll get sued for being homophobic, ironic eh? gay yet we fired those poofs."

"Yeah but we aren't obvious gays we're ok. We dont look like ugly women do we?"

"MMM Good point. Now hows about we get down to it."

"Ok bainy baby anything you want."

God I love him thought Bob. He makes my day.

-------------------------------------Vinces POV-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now I couldnt be any happier.

I'm in love with an amazing man, I don't have to work and I have great hair. What more could a guy want?

I think love suits me. Now there's an idea for a song.

LOVE SUITS ME

LOVE SUITS ME

YES IT DOES

OH LOVE SUITS ME

HOWARDS LOVE

Yeah, that's a great song. I want the world to know about us but I know they can't.

Everyone is so prejudiced. Sure they are OK with women being lesbians cause they think it's hot but with gay men they just look down on you.

Anyway I'm glad i've got Howard I dont know what i'd do without him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that day Howard was bitten by a deadly viper that had supposedly escaped from the Zooniverse.

Mrs Gideon was arrested for attempted murder and homophobia.

Bob and Bainbridge had a massive row and broke up and Vince?

Well Vince was heartbroken and died at the age of 29 three weeks after Howard's death. He died from a broken heart. He'd spent every waking hour next to Howard's grave.

And was buried right next to him so they could be together forever even in death.
