Angel stood still, his body posture relaxed and calm. His hands gripped the cold, metal railing of their fire escape. He gazed out into the night sky, appearing transfixed and lost in thought. A small shiver rippled through his body due to the cool night air.

"Hey, Angelcake…"

Angel grinned at the sound of his lovers' voice. Moments later, he felt Collins wrap his strong, comforting arms around his waist.

"Whatchya doin' out here? The bed is awfully lonely without you…" The professor whispered in his ear.

Angel leaned into him, grateful for is warm embrace.

"I was just thinking. I used to climb out on our fire escape and do this all the time as a kid."

"Thinking? About what?"

"Take a guess." Came Angel's playful reply.

"About life?"

"Awww, honey…that's too general." Angel pouted slightly, disappointed that Collins was catching on so quickly.

"Okay, okay…about…love??"

As soon as he said it, Collins could feel Angel's slight body begin shaking with giggles.

"Ah-hah!" Collins cried knowingly. He tightened his grip around Angel playfully.

"Were you thinking about meee??"

Angel snorted.

"Yup. Am I that predictable, honey?"

"Uh-huh." Collins nodded. "Or maybe it's just that I know you really well. It's like we're on the same wavelength…y'know….ESPN…"

Angel giggled. "I think the term is "ESP"…"ESPN" is the sports channel…."

"So what do I win for guessing the right answer?" Collins leaned his head on Angel's shoulder.

"I dunno…let me see…"

"You were thinking about me in a good way…right?" Collins asked, very curious.

"Of course I was, honey. In fact…I was just realizing how lucky I felt being with you."

Angel could feel himself blush like a rotten strawberry as the words left his mouth. He was currently very grateful that Collins could not see his face very well. Even so, Collins probably knew anyway…

"Awwww, that is so sweet, Angelcake!" Collins chuckled. "Y'know…I was just thinking of you right now…"

"Oh, really?" Angel smirked. He knew what was coming.

"Yup." Collins pressed up against him. "Can't you tell?"

Angel groaned softly, enjoying the feeling of his lover pressing up against his backside.

"I love the way you think, baby. I really, really do…"
