AngelCollins, of course. Who else could I get to do this? It's cliché, I know, but too cute!
I don't own, I rent.
"You'll get sick," he protested. It didn't matter too much to him, Angel thought, or else he wouldn't have let himself get dragged halfway down the staircase by the hand.
"No I won't." She wasn't going to let his lover make excuses.
"I'll get sick." Angel rolled her eyes. Now he was trying to use her weakness against her.
"Don't even try it, Thomas," she sighed, continuing their descent down the stairs. She opened the building door and gently gave him a push out of it into the rain. He looked up at the storm clouds, spilling their tears. A look back at Angel told him that the drag queen was coming up to him, pressing their bodies together and twining their fingers.
"What are we doing out here again?"
"Silly," Angel replied. "You're going to dance with me." She spun herself around using his arm.
"Dance with you?" he chuckled.
"Yes." No wasn't an answer for Angel, she had told him so the day they met.
She grabbed his arms and began to twirl around, laughing. Collins got into it soon enough, smiling as wide as she, which was very wide. They spun and laughed, lips meeting for a series of quick kisses.
Each was soaked down to the bone, and some of Angel's mascara was beginning to trickle down her face, but Collins wiped all away with gentle fingers. Seeing her laughing like this made him want to dance in the rain with her forever. With a shrug he decided that there was no reason why he shouldn't, and he began to dance and twirl even faster.
"They're insane," Mark announced, rolling his eyes at the sight of his friends skipping and kissing in the rain. The whole family was watching from the loft's window.
"No," Mimi interjected with a smile, "they're in love."

Two days later, Mimi was giving the both a bowl of Chicken Noodle soup. Piles of tissues were stacked beside them, along with glasses of hot chocolate. They were snuggled in their bed, both sick with a cold. Mimi couldn't help chuckle at their expense.
Sometimes Angel and Collins redefined the difference between love and insanity.
