dangerous practice, but this was only about singing, right?
Angel grinned in victory but refrained from gloating. "Come on.
You're right. We need a break. I have some TV shows we can watch." He headed down the stairs.
Darius opened his mouth, not wanting to share another porn. He didn't think his brain could handle it.
Without even looking at him, Angel seemed to know he was flipping out. His musical laughter rang up and kissed his ears with the sound. "My non-sex DVDs are downstairs." Angel turned to grin at him as if he were pure as newly fallen snow.
He stopped at the door and waited nervously. Angel must have read his thoughts. The next thing out of his mouth was meant to calm. "Don't worry, I don't plan on compromising your virtue. I just think we will be more comfortable here. What do you want to see?"
When Dare went into Angel's bedroom, the mirror image of his own, he was handed a large binder containing a ton of TV shows, many of which they had missed due to touring. He flipped through a nice variety. Angel had some good dramas and some of his favorite comedies.
"What haven't you seen?"
"I haven't seen any of them. I figured we would watch them over the course of our hiatus. So you pick the first show." Angel tossed his tee shirt but left on his thin jersey shorts. Angel smiled as he laid down on the bed scooting under the fluffy white duvet. He had cranked the air up so the big blanket would feel cozy in the cool room.
"How about this one?" He was holding up the first True Blood disc.
While the tabloids were off base, Angel wasn't obsessed with vampires, but Darius knew he adored them.
"Sure." Angel smiled at him with excitement. "Surprised you didn't go for The Office. I have both versions in there. I thought I should be educated on the differences between the original and the US version."
The fact that Angel remembered he had said he loved both the English and American versions, but for different reasons, took him by surprise.
Angel seemed to want to understand his reasons. It flattered him to think he wanted to understand him better. That conversation had taken place more than six months ago. Even he barely remembered it. It was stupid, but it touched him that Angel did.
He smiled over at Angel. "Nah. Let's start with blood suckers." He continued to check out his collection. "I see you have the network vampire one too. Vampire Diaries." He couldn't withhold the smirk. This one was more geared towards eighth grade girls.
Angel actually blushed at wanting to watch a show that was clearly made for tweens. "Yeah. What can I say? I love vampires, ask any of the rags, they will tell you it's my obsession ." Angel laughed at the bizarreness of some of the rumors surrounding him.
"Why?" He asked as he was putting the disc into the player. He ran his fingers through the blond flip of his hair as he slowly walked back over to bed.
"What's not to love? Eternally beautiful creatures searching for love, having a dark craving they are helpless to resist, struggling against the obstacles to find bliss. Isn't that what we all want?" Angel laughed a little bitterly then said, "Except they actually get it, you know. Unlike real life, they usually get the happily ever after."
Right then, Angel looked so sad and alone. It reminded him of the song he closed the show with every time. He saw the heartbroken fallen angel, crumbled and shattered, in that one look.
Darius didn't know what to say. It was as if he were struck dumb.
Everyone thought Angel had it all together and that he really enjoyed playing the bisexual man whore. But in that moment, Dare knew all Angel really wanted was to find love; to have his happily ever after.
Angel looked away from him as if he were seeing things he had no intention of sharing. Angel confessed, "That's why I named the band after them. Vampires are beautiful angels tormented by their dark needs. The suffering they
