Tommy just chuckled at Angel's concern. "Baby," He paused at the new nickname and just continued, "I promise you, nothing will happen. And even if it does, they won't expell me. Sure they've expelled people for less, but they won't do it to me. It also helps that my parents give the school loads of money on a regular basis," He pointed out as they walked towards Angel's house.

Angel beamed at the use of 'baby'. The more they said it, the more he liked it. "Ah," he nodded understandingly. "Yeah, they won't kick you out. Not a chance. But that doesn't meant you should go crazy. I mean..." he sighed as he tried to make his point. "Just be careful."

"I will, dear," Tommy chuckled kissing Angel's cheek. "Now, I would like to say for one and all to hear that I'm offically proud of you today." He said with a nod. Sure, they had somehow avoided their first fight about Angel coming out, but Tommy was preferring to ignore that for the moment. A part of it, he knew, was his own issue, not wanting to leave Angel blocked away from his house. The want to actually kiss him goodnight on the doorstep like other couples did. It was all he wanted.

"Really?" Angel asked softly. Well...he knew Tommy was proud. But he also knew what would've made him prouder. But he just wasn't ready... "Thanks, baby," he added, stopping for a moment to lean up and kiss him.

"You're more than welcome," Tommy said kissing him back. Then he smirked into it, getting an idea. "You know...you impress me more equals more kisses. Just for future reference," he said with a wink and a chuckle. Then he sighed looking forward.

"Oh yeah? Well...I'll do my best then," Angel smiled lightly. He wanted to impress Tommy...but he was coming out on his own terms. Not by being pressured. That wasn't worth it...

Tommy nodded slowly as they approached Angel's house. "Angel...I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to push you and all. And I know I've apologized about fifty times since...but. There goes another one." He shrugged as he slipped his fingers into Angel's.

Angel sighed deeply and squeezed Tommy's hand. "It's okay," he replied. But he just wanted to do it...on his own terms. Without being pressured. And he needed Tommy to realize it. "Just...let me have a little time. I'm taking baby steps...that would be a huge leap to take from where we are now all of a sudden..."
They were getting closer to Angel's house, but he didn't stop quite yet. There were still a few houses till his. they could go a little further...that'd be a baby step...

Tommy nodded slowly. "I always was one to toss people into the deep end of the pool," He realized quietly. But then he nodded, "Take your time through the three feet area. I'll be waiting on the other side...or maybe by the divider...thingy." He paused wondering what the true name of that thing was. Then he gave up with a slight chuckle.
Tommy eyed Angel out of the corner of his eye, knowing that they usually stopped before here. But he wasn't about to refuse more moments with Angel, so he kept his mouth shut.

"I don't know," Angel replied with a giggle, the smile widening on his face. Tommy understood. That was all he needed. Knowing Tommy supported him. "Thank you. I promise, I'll tell them sometime...I will. Just...not yet."
Angel finally stopped, two houses down from his own. It wasn't perfect, there was definitely room for improvement. But it was better than the usual six...

"It's okay, Angel. Just as long as I can walk you to your house one day..." Tommy shrugged, "I don't mind." Sooner would be nicer than later, but he didn't want to wander off into the possible fighting area again any time soon. "So here we are," He said quietly with a small smile. "Thank you...for everything today. I don't know if I would have been able to survive all of this without you," He said truthfully.

"You will. I just need a little more time," Angel replied. But if Tommy didn't mind they wouldn't have problems. he was getting there and he was getting there on his own pace. Tommy needed to realize that, and respect it...that was all Angel asked. "You are beyond welcome, my dear," he beamed, letting his arms wrap around Tommy gently.

"It's ok, I can wait," Tommy nodded slowly knowing that he could. He would just need to take a breather. This day was more than eventful. "Hmm...beyond welcome?" He asked with a smirk, holding onto Angel. Then he remembered back to the first day he walked Angel home. It seemed like so long ago, but it was only a few weeks. "Do you mind if I kiss you?" He asked for not so old times sake.

Angel's smile widened, and he leaned up gently. "Was kind of hoping you would," he replied. Yeah, somebody would see. But...they were far away enough for it not to matter, right? He didn't know the people in the house closest to them and they didn;t know him. How would anybody find out?

"Oh..." Tommy chuckled. "Then there is no way that I'm going to get your hopes up," He said stepping closer and kissing Angel gently. "There...not exactly my best was it?" He asked wrinkling his nose. Of course it was all a ploy...so he could kiss Angel again. Tommy wasn't always the smoothest character.
