Can't believe I got two chapters done in one day! Decided to post both of them right away! XD I'm so glad I made two chapters! I rather like the ending and hope you do too!

Chapter 2-Love is Blind

*Burns' POV*

"Mr. Burns?" A very familiar voice asked from behind me. I jumped, spinning around in surprise. "What…are you doing?" He asked in a shaky voice as he noticed the letters on his desk. 'Oh no! What do I do now?' I thought, eyes wide as Smithers moved closer to me. His face was a deep shade of red and his shoulders trembled with suppressed emotions. "Did you…read them?" He asked, I met his eyes as a few tears slipped out. 'Why is he crying? Even if I read them, so what?'

"Yes, I read them." I told him, thinking my cheeks must be as red as his own.

"I…see…" Smithers muttered, rubbing his forehead. "I…I'm so sorry!" He was out the door in seconds. I blinked in surprise at the spot he was just standing in. 'What's he sorry for?' I thought then immediately began yelling at myself. 'Who cares! Just go after him idiot!' I took my own advice and hurried out the door after him, barely catching him as he ran around the corner at the end of the hall.

"Damn!" I gasped, and ran as fast as I could after him. "Smithers, wait!" I called out as I followed him around the corner. I caught him going into the elevator and thankfully, managed to get into the one next to it at just about the same time. 'I know where he's going, so if I hurry hopefully I can get him to stop before he leaves the building.' I exited the elevator once it had hit the bottom floor and hurried after Smithers' retreating back. I was tiring fast and he was already almost past the employee break room. 'The exit isn't much farther!' Desperate to stop him from leaving without explaining first, I yelled down the hallway at him. "Waylon! Just wait a minute!"

I stood there, gripping my chest as I gasped for breath. I watched as Smithers froze at my words and slowly turned around. I made my way towards him, still breathing heavily. Smithers hesitated before walking closer, rubbing the back of his head, his cheeks still red with embarrassment. Once he was in front of me, I lost what I was going to say. There were trails of tears on his face and his eyes looked so sad. "W…Waylon…I…" I stuttered, not sure how to proceed now. His face had derailed my entire train of thought.

"Why'd you follow me, sir…" He mumbled suddenly and I blinked in surprise.

"Why did I…" My eyebrow raised up at him. "To make sure you were alright you nitwit!" I told him, feeling my face flush at my words. His eyes lit up slightly at that, but then turned confused.

"But…why? I mean…you aren't angry at me?" He asked, pushing his glasses farther up his nose. "And why did you never say anything about reading them?" I cleared my throat, shifting nervously.

"I…was mad at you at first…" I muttered, watching his face fall slightly. I quickly continued, not liking that look on his face. "But as time wore on, I…I…" I faltered, trying hard to push the words out. 'Damn it! I can't chicken out now!'

"You what…sir?" Smithers asked, tilting his head slightly, a curious look on his face. I swallowed hard, tugging at my tie.

"Um…this is really hard for me to say, Waylon…" I mumbled softly. 'This is harder to say than I thought it would be! Maybe it would just be easier to show him how I feel!' Taking a deep breath I reached forward and gripped his shirt, vaguely seeing his look of surprise as I pulled him closer and captured his lips with my own.

*Smithers' POV*

'Oh. My. God!' I gasped when his mouth covered mine. Mr. Burns' tongue pushed past my lips, tasting the inside of my mouth. I was frozen only for a moment before my arms wrapped around his back and I kissed back. Mr. Burns' hands slid up into my hair, gripping the locks and tugging gently. We broke apart when there were sudden catcalls coming from behind me. "Um…Mr. Burns?" I questioned softly, looking at his wide eyes as they stared over my shoulder. Sighing slightly, I turned to face Carl, Lenny, and Homer, an excuse tumbling out already. "It was my…" I stopped suddenly as Mr. Burns gripped my arm and stepped around me.

"What are you gawking at?" Mr. Burns snapped, still making the three employees flinch at his tone. "Can't a man kiss his own boyfriend without people staring?" He then gripped my hand and dragged me back towards the elevators with a trail of "Woohoo Mr. Burns!" from Homer and, "It's about time!" from Carl, as they moved away from the three.

"B…boyfriend?" I finally managed to say as we entered the elevators, looking at him in surprise.

"Of course Waylon." He muttered, cheeks tinged pink. "I…didn't tell you I'd read your letters because…I wanted you to send them to me, I needed to make sure you truly loved me." He said softly, his hand twining with my own. "I…was too shy to come out and tell you how I felt about you. But when you walked out of my office, I knew if I let you leave upset like that, I wouldn't be able to tell you." I stepped closer, wrapping my arms around him, feeling the tears overwhelm me and slide down my cheek.

"Mr. Burns…" I said, my voice trembling. His hands sought out my hair again, stroking through it soothingly. "What if I had just come out and told you I loved you?" I asked suddenly, pulling back to look in his eyes.

"Well…" He started, stroking my cheek gently. "I probably would have fired you." I nodded, thinking that thought exactly. "Even if you had sent me one of those letters, it would probably take me time to work out my feelings, like now. It took me several months to come to terms with how you felt about me, and how I felt about you." We exited the elevators and headed back to Mr. Burns office. I took his hand when we were in the room, smiling as his fingers curled around mine. "It would have just hurt both of us terribly." He said softly, towing me along out onto the balcony. The sun was just starting to set. Mr. Burns shivered slightly and I wrapped my arm around his shoulders. "I just…needed time for it to settle in."

"I'm glad it worked out this way then." I heard his chuckle and smiled brightly. "Mr. Burns, I love you!"

"Oh pish posh!" He exclaimed and I pulled back in surprise. He shook his head quickly, placing his hands on my cheeks. "I meant, please, call me Monty. We are dating now, right Waylon?" He asked, eyebrows raising high on his face.

"Oh!" I breathed in surprise. "Of course, Monty!" I exclaimed, kissing him deeply. He kissed back immediately, the force of it leaving me breathless. I pulled back to breath, feeling my head spin rapidly. "I…can't believe this is happening!" I said, loving the warm feeling that spread through my body. He smiled, wrapping his arms around me, his head resting in the crook of my neck. I held him tightly to me feeling happiness overwhelm my ability to speak.

"Well Waylon? Do you want to stay with me tonight?" Monty asked suddenly as he pulled back to see my face. I flushed darkly, but smiled brightly.

"With pleasure sir!" I said, taking his hand as the two of us head back to the elevators, finally ready to take the next step in our relationship.

The End!
