Title: Curse
Author: the_rev
Pairing: Howard/Vince
Wordcount: 200
Warnings: none but silliness and cheesiness
Notes: Challenge 14, Awake/Asleep, from a conversation with xthursdaynextx.
There it was, all laid out before him on the metaphorical table. Vince, poisoned by a cursed bottle of Goth Juice from the green hitcher-witch, would be doomed to sleep forever, unless….
“True love’s kiss, yeah?” Naboo had said, grinning his chemically-enhanced grin. “I’ll leave you two alone.”
Laid out before him on the actual table, Vince slept the sleep of the damned. Howard had tried to protest. He wasn’t the man for this job.
He knew better.
“I can’t help meself,” he said to the prone body, then leaned down, closed his eyes, hesitated, said “sod it,” and for the second time in his life, pressed his lips to another’s.
Vince’s slack mouth was warm and soft and made Howard tingle in discreet places. He wondered if that was part of the magic. It must have meant something. Soon Vince was kissing back. Vigorously!
“I saved you!” Howard said, breathless, triumphant.
Vince laughed, beaming up at him. “As if! You didn’t really believe that fairy nonsense, did you? And what’s this ‘sod it’ business, that’s not romance!”
“You were awake! You tit!”
Vince grinned wider, pulled Howard back down to him. “How else was I going break your curse?”
