He's buzzing with vitality, more full than he's been in longer than he can remember. He's so hopped-up on blood he barely knows what to do with himself.

First, he tries running it off in the woods, a pale blur darting through the trees. He gets in so far he can't even hear the town anymore and, still, his skin crawls with power begging to be used. So, he goes next to the cliffs, scaling them with bare hands and feet in a matter of minutes. That takes a slight edge off of it. Enough that he feels he might safely be able to go to town.

With his shoes in his hands, not even bothering to put them back on, he dashes to town. He's unbuttoned the front of his shirt, as well, because for once he's actually hot. Almost unbearably hot! It will be noticeable to anyone who looks at him; he's flushed bright red all the way from his chest to his cheeks.

He slows once he reaches the town square, walking with a slight list to the left like a drunkard. Ooh, his head is a little fuzzy too. Now he remembers why he doesn't tend to let himself overindulge. Wisdom tells him he should go home and try to sleep this off, but the mischievous part of him thinks there might be better things he could do to take advantage of all this endless stamina.

"Pleasant evening," he's wearing a bold fang-filled grin of pure lust. "Want to help me wear myself out? I'm offering my services for free tonight only."

"Yeah, just a little. My...friend...Eddie, uh, told me he's got something to do tonight. Normally, I'd spend my night with him, so I'm sort of at loose ends."

Yeah, he's not spreading the details of Eddie's business around, but it's clear he's aware of the loose details. Oh, not Erik's involvement, but the rest.

"Why are you afraid?"

But there's a coldness now in Angel's eyes, anger held on a very, very thin tight leash. Yes, he knows Eddie literally asked for it. He's struggling to care, though. He wants to scream, or to hit Erik, or to cry.

He can't cry, though, he's missing the parts. His hands ball into tight, tight fists, tense like a tight-wound string or a far-stretched rubber band.

"He did. He thought I was going to tell him no, that he couldn't, so I couldn't tell him no, because I didn't want to be like the people who were in his life who he cared about and hurt him before, so I let him go, but that doesn't. Fucking. Make. It. Okay."

He remembers Eddie talking about his ex-wife and about his mother and Angel's trying to be not-them, even if he doesn't know who he's being instead, and even if it hurts.

"So it didn't hurt. Is that supposed to make it alright?" Unable or unwilling to attack Erik, Angel curls in on himself, arms wrapping to hug himself a little like someone with a gut wound might try to hold their innards in.

“I know. I know, but I still hate it.” Angel’s reaction to that kind hand is first to tense, and then to lean into the touch, a little like a stray dog being petted and not sure what to do with the kindness.

“He’ll be back, I know he’ll be back. But I’m still not happy he’s gone. He’s…he’s special.”

“I don’t sleep. Do you want to put up with that?”

Walking right past the L-word, not denying the truth of it or making a huge deal of it. Externally, at least. Internally, there are a lot of alarms going off. Especially considering how resistant Eddie was to doing romance. Should everyone know they love?

"Lately? I spend my nights watching Eddie sleep." It's a completely honest answer. "I tried. I tried to sleep with him, and had the same nightmares I always do. Safer for me to stay awake. And, uh. I know blackjack."
