The Boarding School

Chapter 7- Deceitful Skies

"H'ward, if something's wrong then you can tell me ya know." Vince smiled his amazing smile and Howard smiled back, his eyes still glued on the ceiling. "I mean it." Vince's reassuring grin also made Howard smile. Vince reached Howard's hand and gave it a comforting squeeze.

"I know. Thanks Vince." Howard's voice was emotionless and dripped with negative sentiment. Soon Vince had gone with Tony, a bright pink octopus like shaman, to lure Bob to the party and Howard was sat miserably in the corner. Vince had everything. Great hair, looks, friends, popularity, confidence and what did he have? A slightly asymmetrical moustache? When Vince and Tony returned, Bob walked in and screamed.

"Holy shi… nut sauce!" Bob screeched as the music ceased and the other kids stopped dancing. "Get out, all of you and I want the person responsible for this NOW!" Vince smiled and walked forwards, winking at Howard slyly as he did.

"It was all me Mr Fossil, just me. Naboo and Howard had nothing to do with it they tried to stop me." Bob nodded and sighed.

"Well Vincey-bear I can't say I'm not disappointed, I'm gonna let you off this time seen as you cut my hair for me but don't let it happen again yeah? Now clear out and you tidy this mess up Moon." Howard stood up from the corner he had spent four hours in and nodded emotionlessly.

"Yes Mr Fossil." Bob disappeared into hallway. "It's okay Vince; you didn't have to take the wrap." Howard again was impassively spoken and that made Vince worry.

"You turnip Howard, I took the blame because I knew none of us would get into trouble then. He likes me; you'd get crumbled like Rivita." Howard remained speechless and continued to sweep up the empty cups and litter. "Howard? Are you okay? You seem a little weird. Howard?" Vince placed his hand on Howard's and squeezed it reassuringly. "What's wrong?" Howard refrained from eye contact and yanked his hand away.

"Don't touch me." He replied as Vince nodded and picked up a dustpan and brush. "Look Vince, I'm sorry but ever since I became friends with you I've gotten into nothing but trouble." Vince dropped the brush and sighed. "I mean no offence and I'm not saying that we shouldn't be friends because we should but…" Howard's words laced with guilt and he looked deep into those stunning blue eyes. "Vince?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine really I'm just…" Vince draped his blazer over his shoulders and headed out of the door, ignoring the fact he was mixing a red top with a green jacket. He headed out into the cold night and sat down on a hill in the gardens out back, knees pulled up to his chest and sighed. "He'll just never understand." Vince whispered brokenly into the nothingness. Soon, a blacked out figure appeared in front of the gates and as it approached, the moustache and brown smoke became more and more evident.

"Mind if I join you?" He asked as Vince shrugged. "Well I am." He sat down next to the slim frame of Vince Noir and fell backwards onto his back. Pushing himself up, his arms and legs flailed around until he was sitting upright again.

"You are a melon Howard." Vince giggled and wiped away a few wandering tears which had somehow dripped onto his cheek.

"I have been told that." Howard chuckled back. Wait, Howard chuckling? Vince smiled, Howard had a nice smile he only wished he used it more. "Vince, I didn't mean it like that. I was being selfish, I shouldn't have said it." Vince shook his head.

"Nah, you're entitled to your opinion it was just me being an over emo again." Vince again wiped the tears away but with a cloth Howard gave him. Looking up, Vince smiled. It was a nice night, stars scattered across the sky and twinkling like fireflies. Howard followed his gaze and smiled too. The sky was that sort of bark blue before it fades into black. A navy blue and it made Vince's eyes twinkle like never before. Before he could stop himself, Vince's hand slipped from the grassy ground and he rolled a few inches down the hill until Howard's hand was clasped around his wrist.

"Careful there little man, could've been a nasty fall." Howard looked over at the puddle formed at the bottom of the hill and smiled.

"Yeah." Vince wistfully replied and followed Howard carefully down the verdant hill, overlooking the deceitful sky.

A/N: Sorry this chapter is a little angsty but I suppose it makes it more realistic. The next one wont be I don't think though. Thanks for all the reviews guys. :D
