Something About You

Confession

A month has passed and it was new years night, and Vito and his sister were invited to a bon fire by Joe. When they showed up Joe was there along with Eddie, and Marty showed up as well. There were a few other people Vito didn't know all too well, but as he sat there talking with Joe and Eddie he started to think of Henry.

The last time he saw him was before Christmas, but he only just ordered a coffee and left, that's it.

Since that incident happened in Vito's apartment, he actually couldn't stop thinking about it. As he sat there, his sister comes and sits beside him "well, happy new year, Vito." She says with a smile and leans on Vito's shoulder "happy new year sis." Vito smiles and then continues staring into the fire. "Why don't you invite your friend? Haven't seen him in awhile." Vito shrugs "I could...but not sure if he'd show up." Francesca rubs Vito's back "just invite him, he'll show up." She smiles once more before going off to see Eric and a few other people.

Vito sighs and pulls out his phone to text Henry.

Vito: "Hi..."
Henry: "Hey."
Vito: "We're having a little new years "party" wanna come join us?"
Henry: "Where?"
Vito: "Y'know the road at Culver Dam? Just a little ways that way, you'll see it."
Henry: "Alright...I'll be there soon."
Vito: "Okay, see then."

After he was done texting Henry, Vito sighs once more, and gets up to grab himself a drink. Once he got his drink the girl Nancy, who also works at the coffee shop with Vito and Francesca comes to him. "Hey, Vito...listen, I just wanted to say uh, I kinda have been having these...feelings for you, and I was also wondering maybe you-" Vito shakes his head "Uhm, that's uh, nice to hear but I'm not…interested. Plus we work together, it would probably be a little...I dunno." Nancy nods her head "I see, well, I understand…" she gave Vito a small smile and walks away. Vito watched as she walks away, he did feel bad but Nancy was just a friend to him...sort of.

……

After about twenty minutes later Vito saw Henry making his way over "hey, thought you wouldn't show up." Henry smiles and sits beside Vito "yeah, well, I'm here now." "Yeah, you are...we're gonna have some fireworks in a few minutes." Vito smiles "well, I'm on time then." Henry chuckles and looks over at Vito, he saw there was something bothering him and he knows what it is. "You still thinking about it?" Vito looks over at Henry, then his eyes trailed down to his lips, then up to his eyes. And Vito was about to speak when Joe begins to grab everyone's attention "before we end this year, which was actually a very confusing fuckin' year..." Everyone laughed and held up their drinks "no shit man!" someone yells, Joe laughs and nods "but we all got through the bullshit, and whatever we were dealing with...let's leave that all behind, and start fresh! Happy New Year!!" Joe says as he held up his drink and everyone does as well.

Just before the fireworks start, Vito shakes his head "I can't do this." And before Henry could ask, Vito pulls Henry into a kiss, just at the moment the clock struck twelve and the fireworks start.

Henry quickly sank into the kiss and Vito pulls him closer that his arms were wrapped around his waist, and Henry's arms rested on Vito's shoulders. And the tension and confusion they felt before vanished and they soon felt nothing but the feelings they have for each other. Henry was first to break the kiss and leaned his forehead against Vito's.

As everyone was watching the fireworks, Joe, Francesca, and Eddie all turned and saw Vito and Henry. Francesca smiled wide, while Joe and Eddie both chuckled "alright, pay up, Joe." Joe shakes his head and hands Eddie five bucks. They actually made a bet on whether they felt that way about each other, Joe thought they weren't into each other...buuut he thought wrong. They soon go back to watching the fireworks and decide to let the two be.

Vito and Henry just stayed in each other's arms, both of them were actually relieved, happy, and like a big weight was lifted. "That why you invited me out here?" Henry asks with a grin "uh, I guess." Vito shrugs and Henry kisses Vito once more.

When the fireworks were over and the party still continued, and everyone was happy and enjoying their time together.
