Andy and Ashley sat together watching one Batman movie or another. Andy's wing was wrapped around Ashley, who was snuggled against Andy's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling him breathe.
Ashley gently stroked the feathers of Andy's black wings.
Andy honestly didn't love Ashley touching and admiring his wings because they showed him as a Fallen Angel and he hated being known that he was kicked out of Heaven. To him, his dark wings were a disgrace and an embarrassment.
He told Ashley dozens of times how he felt, but each time, Ashley told him that he admired his wings and that he shouldn't be embarrassed for anything so small. He would tell Andy that God's petty actions did not determine who Andy was as a person.
"You're beautiful in every single way. Honestly, I'm happy you were kicked out. I'm happy that I met you and I love you." Ashley said as Andy kissed him again.
Andy smiled, blushing. He was never called beautiful, and Ashley only made him blush even more with his kind words.
"Ashley?" Andy asked as they pulled apart.
"Yes?"
"I'm glad I got kicked out so I could meet you. And I love you more than I could ever scream." He said as Ashley smiled up at him.
Ashley continued to pet Andy's wings as Andy eventually drifted off to sleep. Ashley stayed up a small amount of time later, continuing to listen to his heart.
Ashley fell asleep on Andy's chest, still covered and warm by his wings.
