Work Text:
Damien and Angela stood up from the sofa and made their way to the area where the art department were hastily setting up after Trevor had finished his song as the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors.
While Trevor was sitting with the rest of the group answering questions about the song and promoting donations to The Trevor Project, Damien turned to Angela.
“Are you okay? It's not too late for you to pretend to be sick or anything.” Damien said, helping Angela in her long black dress to her knees for the starting position of the number.
Angela pulled Damien down so he was on his knees too, facing her, and told him “I'm not scared to do this at all, the feelings in this song are the same feelings I have for you in real life”
“Isn't this song the moment they finally have sex in the show? I think we are a bit beyond that” Damien leant in and whispered with a laugh tracing the veins on Angela's hand before she swatted him lightly with said hand.
Ian announced that they were the next and final act of the live stream and to donate as much as they can as the lights went down on him and the audience of cast/crew.
As the music started Angela started singing
“Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight”
Angela started tracing the black tattoo marks up Damien’s arm to where they disappeared under the rolled up sleeves of his black, button-down shirt.
“My wildest dreamings
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me”
Damien licked his lips, he couldn't tear his eyes away from her gorgeous eyes that were as rich and dark as the coffee he drank next to her in bed this morning.
“And just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline”
Angela raised a hand somewhat tentatively before tucking some of his hair behind his ear. Damien couldn't help but lean into the gesture placing a kiss on the inside of her palm.
Angela took hold of his hand again holding it between them as she got through the last of the chorus.
“And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine”
Damien couldn't hold it in any more, and took her face in both of his hands, surging forward and kissing Angela briefly before backing away to sing his part of the song.
Angela pressed her fingers to her lips, never breaking eye contact with Damien.
Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes”
Damien slid his hands gently down her shoulders to the crook of her elbow, Angela returned the gesture Damien had done earlier lifting his hand to her mouth to kiss the inside of his palm.
“Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell”
Damien did a kind of spellcasting hand movement causing Angela to chuckle and swipe his hands down.
“And somehow I'm feeling
It's up that I fell”
Damien and Angela smiled at each other trusting each other implicitly as they came in together for the chorus together.
“Every moment
As long as you're mine”
Damien wrapped his arms around Angela's waist pulling up off her haunches as he rose off his own, so they were chest to chest.
“I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time”
Damien tried hard to focus on the high note he had coming up but he couldn't help but brush a piece of loose hair behind Angela’s ear.
He couldn't bear not being able to touch her.
“Say there's no future
For us as a pair”
Angela joined back in, smile evident on her face for all.
“And though I may know
I don't care
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine”
Angela wrapped her hands around Damien’s neck, carding her fingers through the back of his hair.
“Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you”
Both sat back on their haunches not wanting to belt the last bit directly in each other's faces
“As long as you're mine”
Damien spoke the last words quietly, his heart still beating heavily in his chest “ What is it?”
Angela looked deep into Damien’s eyes, in that moment it felt like no one else existed in the room for Damien except the two of them.
Angela lent in and took both his hands in hers and just as quietly as he had said his line she said hers “It's just for the first time, I feel...wicked”
As soon as she said the last word she lent in and pressed her lips to his in a long kiss as the rest of the karaoke backing track played out.
There was a moment of silence as the rest of the cast and crew took in the moment before a thunderous round of applause and cheering rang out in the room.
The sound broke Damien and Angela out of their bubble and Damien got to his feet, offering a hand to Angela to help her up.
“Oh my God!” Courtney screamed out running up to and swooping Angela in a circle. “You were incredible, you and Damien’s voices sounded amazing together”
The live stream must have switched over to the other camera as Courtney pulled Angela over to where Ian, Anthony, and the rest of the cast had bunched up to do one last push of the donations and close out the stream.
Angela felt his presence, smelled his cologne, behind her before he snaked his arms round her waist to hug her close.
“You are so perfect Angela Giovana Giarratana, I love you to the moon and the stars and back” Damien whispered in her ear.
Angela pressed back into Damien’s embrace, his words still warm in her ear. She didn’t say anything right away; instead she let herself breathe, let the sound of laughter and voices wash over her as she thought to herself
I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
