Oliver picked up the letter sliding it into his robe pocket, slowly walking out of the kitchen he heard the lite ping of piano keys. It was his favorite song by the red-headed Englishmen, the boys always made fun of Oliver for never remembering the guys' name. And even now it escapes him. Elio would do this when he couldn't sleep and tonight was one of those nights. Oliver stood, robe open, his flannel pajama pants. Elio slightly turned seeing Oliver standing there smiling at him, Elio began to softly sing to the man he loved.

"I found a love for me

Darling just dive right in

And follow my lead

Well I found a boy beautiful and sweet

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me"

Elio slowly got up walking toward Oliver, he wrapped his arm behind his back and pulled him. Oliver laughed as Elio swayed making him dance with him. Elio never missed a beat.

"'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time

But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own"

Elio pulled Oliver into a kiss and softly sung, Oliver closed his eyes feeling Elios breath on his lips.

"And in your eyes you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well I found a man, stronger than anyone I know

He shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share his home

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets"

Oliver pulled Elio into his lap as they fell into the ugly green chair. But Elio never missed a note, he placed his hand on Oliver's cheek, never taking his eyes off of him.

"To carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids, but we're so in love

Fighting against all odds

I know we'll be alright this time

Darling, just hold my hand

Be my man, I'll be your man

I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When I saw you in that billowy shirt, looking so beautiful

I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight"

Elio pulled Oliver closer into him. Kissing him softly.

"Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

I have faith in what I see

Now I know I have met an angel in person
