"Oh yeah. I just meant that I need someone level headed to tell me if I'm doing something stupid...and then you to tell me if I'm going too fast. Sorry I wasn't so specific," Tommy said quietly. "I kinda talk in circles sometimes. If you haven't noticed that yet."
Tommy listened to the sound of the night. The sun had offically set now, and they were only lit by the street lamps. "It does seem right. The way it should be." Tommy smiled gently when Angel hugged him back. "Perfect." He rubbed his back gently and closed his eyes feeling serene.

"It's okay....if you want me to be that person, I'm yours," Angel said quietly, and his eyes widened as he realized what he'd said exactly. How forward it sounded. "You--your person...I mean," he choked.
Angel sighed deeply as Tommy rubbed his back, nestling a bit closer to him. Perfect. He couldn't think of a better word for the moment. The day. Tommy. Everything. Despite all that happened...it was perfect.

Tommy laughed quietly and shook his head. "Believe me...don't feel...it's ok. I'm not expecting anything from that. I would be pretty damn happy if you could be that person. And maybe one day...mine. One day I'd be yours. But...one day." Maybe tomorrow? Tommy asked himself. That seemed good enough to him. But he didn't want to push Angel. Then again...maybe it was a Freudian slip. The possibility made Tommy smile.
"You ok?" Tommy asked him quietly. He thought about pulling back so he could see Angel's eyes. But then he decided against it. He would have to loose contact with him...which was something he was not willing to do at the moment.

"Right," Angel nodded, smiling gently. I'm already yours, he thought, but didn't say it. Would that be going too fast? He didn't want to rush it. Tommy had made it clear, one day. And at the moment, that was good enough. One day was better than never.
Angel simply smiled and said the one word that came to his mind. "Perfect," he whispered.

Tommy nodded and then kissed Angel's temple. "As much as I love this...I'm freezing my ceaster off," He said with a chagrin. It was getting colder now. And his think navy hoodie offered barely any warmth. In fact, Angel seemed to be the sole supplier of that right now. "Not that I wanna leave here...but you should probably get home too...before your dad you know. I don't wanna get you in trouble already. We'll save that for later to," Tommy said winking at him.
"Sorry," He repeated. Sometimes he hated that logical part of himself.

"Yeah...you're probably right," Angel said quietly, breaking away gently. He gently ran his hands up in down Tommy's arms in an attempt to warm him up a little. "Oh yeah, I have no doubt of that one," Angel laughed, shaking his head slightly and leaning up to kiss him again.

Tommy laughed as well. He did have a reputation for making things interesting. "Of course," He said before leaning down to kiss Angel gently. One last kiss...or maybe the second to last kiss before he left. That thought made Tommy feel even colder. Eventually, he was going to have to walk alone to Maureen's without Angel. He made a mental note to draw a little Angel penguin he could keep in his pocket.
When they parted he took Angel's hand and started to walk again.

Angel smiled and began walking again with him, staring up at the sky. There weren't so many stars, but it was still a beautiful night. Maybe for other reasons. "We're almost at my house," he said with a little sigh. "One more block. But I'll see you in gym tomorrow..." he said softly, looking to him. "Do you want a coat or something? I'm sure I can sneak one out...or at least try."

Tommy watched Angel from the corner of his eye as they continued to walk. Trying to memorize every feature of him so that when he wasn't around, Tommy could see him clearly in his mind. "Ok...yeah. I'll see you then. Hopefully we'll do more than run around the gym...not that I didn't like that activity immensely. We'll have to thank Miss Lorretti tomorrow. At least I will."
"Oh no," Tommy shook his head. "I'll probably just jog to Maureen's. It's not to far from here actually...I'll be fine. Thanks though. That's...sweet of you to offer," He said squeezing Angel's hand.

"No, me too...I mean, if we hadn't been partnered up," Angel smiled, and looked down at their hands. "This wouldn't have happened. We owe her," he smiled again, before stopping. "My house is three doors down to this one..." he trailed off, hoping Tommy understood.
"If you're sure...don't get sick," he told Tommy with a smile.

"Yeah," Tommy chuckled with a deep smile. "We could just wave to her and say thanks. Confuse her. I like to confuse teachers...a lot." He looked down at Angel's house, he got the picture. "I guess this goodnight then...." He pressed his lips together and nodded slowly.
"I'll be safe I promise," Tommy said quietly. "Ummm would you mind if I gave you a goodnight kiss?" He asked hopeful.

"Yeah, but she deserves to be thanked...all in all this was still the best day ever," Angel said with a small shrug and smile. "I mean...for me it was," he added with a tiny blush.
"You know you don't even have to ask, right? In fact, I'd be a little insulted if I didn't get one," he giggled softly, leaning up towards Tommy.

"Oh no...yeah, I mean," Tommy stilled himself for a moment. Took a breath and then clarified himself. "Me too. Which is really saying something...cause this was starting out to be the worst day of my life. Catherine saying she was gonna spread a rumor about me. Benny freaking out. My parents. But you overturned that..."
Tommy laughed quietly and leaned down to kiss Angel deeply. He never wanted the kiss to end.

"Well...I'm glad then," he said quietly, the smile spreading on his face. "I just...I still can't believe you feel the same way. That I feel about you. I didn't think you would."
Angel smiled into the kiss and let his arms rest against his chest gently. He knew it had to end, but he didn't want to. He didn;t really have to breath, did he? He broke the kiss after holding it for as long as possible, and smiled at Tommy softly.

Tommy pulled away slowly, keeping his eyes closed as if that would prolong the kiss. Finally, he opened his eyes and smiled deeply. "Believe me Angel...I feel the same way." He leaned over and kissed Angel's cheek. "Sorry couldn't help myself." Slowly he backed away letting his hand stay on Angel's as long as humanly possible. Then when only their fingertips were together he let his arm drop to his side.
"See you tomorrow..." He said simply wondering if he showed say something more sentimental. "Looking forward to it."
