The Boarding School
Chapter 12- These things I'll never say
"I think I've fallen for someone." Naboo nodded and pondered the thought.
"Well was your shoe lace tied?" Naboo asked in a confused and sleepy voice, a lock of hair falling into his chocolate eyes. "If not then no wonder you fell… hazardous." Howard's eyes also because confused and he shuffled to the end of the bed.
"No Naboo… I don't mean I fell for someone I mean I fell for them as in I think I have a bit of a crush on them." Naboo smiled.
"Ah, I see. But just out of interest was your shoe tied?" Naboo also shuffled to the end of his bed and leant forward in wonder and awe.
"Does it matter?" Howard asked in an ever so serious voice. Naboo frowned dejectedly and shrugged.
"S'pose not, so who is it?" Howard shook his head. "Oh come on… I'll tell you who I fancy." Howard looked at Naboo through eyes which conveyed everything without the use of words. "Alright, she was called Louisa… it was in year three. I let her borrow my crayons and she kissed my cheek in thanks…"
"But?"
"She didn't give me my crayons back and I got a bit angry… they cost me four Euros and it's the credit crunch! I can't just go distributing crayons willy-nilly. I saved up for those! I almost got sent to the Crunch… that isn't pretty trust me." Naboo's voice held nothing but pure seriousness and his eyes transmitted the same feelings.
"Aha and you still fancy her?" Howard found this hard to believe as he seemed so angry about the crayon disaster. Naboo nodded wistfully, distantly yet snapped out of his loved up trance to stare at Howard with a raised eyebrow. "Well she's not really a she… she is a he." Naboo nodded understandingly… he seemed so calm. "He's called Vince."
"Vince? Okay carry on." Naboo felt like a father or an older brother and couldn't help but love every second of feeling an agony aunt.
"And he's amazing, funny… no, hilarious without meaning to be… witty that's it. And he's the most beautiful specimen on the planet. Sometimes I don't think he knows how beautiful he is but he is drop dead gorgeous. His hair is so carefully done and he always makes an effort. He's not afraid to stand up for himself, he's not afraid to be individual. He doesn't care what others think of him… he just liked being unique, he likes being… him I suppose. He doesn't want to be anything else but him and everyone else can either like it or lump it. I look up to him, admire him, heck I love him." Howard paused for a second and smiled.
"So he's pretty cool then?" Naboo finally broke the silence with a confused tone.
"More than cool." Howard again seemed to be in distant thought or some sort of dreamland.
"Why don't you talk to him then?" Naboo had already figured it out; he figured it out before Howard did.
"Because I'm too scared, it's just a crush and he doesn't feel the same. As far as I'm concerned it'll be a secret forever. He'll never know." Naboo transferred his body weight to Howard's bed and placed a comforting hand on Howard's shoulder.
"Scared of what?" Naboo asked in a genuinely interested voice. He may not get on like a house on fire with Howard but he did care and if he was feeling shit then he wanted to help.
"Rejection, I've always been rejected no matter how many times I ask someone out… they always seem to say no." Naboo squeezed Howard's shoulder and smiled.
"I'm sure Vince would say yes. It's obvious in the way he looks at you and the way he talks to you and how he holds your hand that he likes you. There's something definitely there." Howard nodded.
"Maybe I will ask him." Naboo nodded along side him and hopped back into his own bed. "Thanks Naboo."
"Don't mention it but in case it goes wrong… here. It's a picture of two kittens, the one on the left's Philip. You can have it free seen as you're feeling so bad." Howard thanked the Shaman and looked over at Vince. His chest rising and falling as he slept, dreams of rainbows and unicorns swirling in his perfect imagination, Vince told Howard he had seen a unicorn but Howard was convinced by the way he had explained it that it was a horse with a cornetto on its head. It was true. Vince was beautiful with the moonlight making patterns on his perfect cheeks and his blue eyes slipped closed but he didn't know it. He made such an effort in a morning but he looked fine when he woke with his hair skew-whiff and sticking up. If he dare say it, Howard thought he looked cute like that.
"Night Naboo and by the way, for the record my shoe lace was tied." Naboo chuckled slightly and looked over at the jazzy freak.
"Good, I should think so. Good night Howard."
A/N: Another chapter. Aww, a nice Naboo and Howard moment there but a family moment obviously! Will Lance pull Howard and Vince apart? Will update soon and thanks for all the amazing reviews. It's nice to know you like it and I really do appreciate it. Bye for now.
