Oh God, Angel just wanted to disappear right now. Go find himself the biggest hole to fall into and never come out. Angel didn't dare turn around to look at Alastor as he dignified him with a response to his embarrassing ramble. He didn't want to see the expression on Al's face as he muddled to an answer. If he was forcing a polite face, it would just add to his embarrassment. But not only that, Angel didn't want the deer to see his own face. It was hot and red, totally uncharacteristically twisted with fluster. He felt so lame. A porn star who grew a heart. He swore there was a cheesy chick flick with a plot like that. Damn, if word got out his street cred would be ruined.

But the radio demon's response wasn't totally unexpected. It could have been worse, he could have said he didn't feel anything for him. That this was just a game and he fell straight into his trap. But still... it made his heart sink to his stomach. After Alastor kissed him yesterday there was this little spark of 'what if?' that danced in his head. He couldn't help but feel a bit foolish for reading too much into the incident. However, he did agree to sign up for this misery as soon as those three little words left his mouth knowing this could have been an outcome. No more running.

"Its okay Al. You don't gotta explain yourself." Angel tried to keep his tone level and light hearted. "Like I said, I don't expect anything from ya. Just wanted to let you know that you're more than just some fine piece of ass to me." Shrugging his shoulders, Angel looked down into this hands still not turning around to face Alastor. "Naw, I didn't. I knew you wouldn't want to see me in my birthday suit so you'd let me in. Which is weird considering that you pretty much have seen me stark ass naked. I... I didn't want you see all the embarrassing texts I swamped your phone with when you were away. But now... I have given you the live version of those texts so I got nothing to hide anymore."
