I got out of the boat and sang

I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music music You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone Since the moment I first heard you sing, I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing, for my music... my music..." I then put my hand out for Will and he grabbed it. I slowly pulled him out of the boat his eyes locked on mine the entire time. I continued

"Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation. Darkness stirs and wakes imagination. Silently the senses abandon their defences Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour. Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender." I sang as I pulled  him farther from the boat. He looked back and I placed my hand under his chin and gently moved head head so that he was facing me again

"Turn your face away from the garish light of day," I sang as I led him to the middle of the room and let go of his hand. I then walked up a small flight of stairs and turned some music on.

"Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night... Close your eyes" I sang and he slowly closed his eyes.

"and surrender to your darkest dreams! Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before! Close your eyes,let your spirit start to soooooar!" I sang as I slowly walked back to him and he opened his eyes

"And you'll live as you've never lived before" I sang as I put my hand out and he grabbed it.

"Softly, deftly, music shall caress you" I sang as I walked backwards and pulled him up the stairs with me.

"Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness that you know you cannot fight the darkness of the music of the night. Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world! Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before! Let your soul take you where you long to beeeeeee!" Sang

"Only then can you belong to me" I sang cupping his face in my hands before slowly turning him around and pulling him to me in an embrace.

"Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!" I sang as I pulled his hand up to my face. I held it there for a moment before he turned to look at me and I let his hand drop as he stared into my eyes

"Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!" I slowly ran my hand down his arm and grabbed his hand again

"Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the niiiigggght" I sang before lowering my lips to his ear

"I love you" I whispered and he immediately passed out. Luckily I caught him before he hit the ground. I then walked over to my bed and laid him down on it and pulled the covers over him.

"You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the niiigggght" I sang softly not wanting to wake him as I pulled a rope the lowered a curtain around the bed.

~Will's Point

I woke in a bed I didn't know which freaked me out until I remember what had happened.
I love you. Played in my head and I blush and covered my face as I thought of my Angel. I sat up in the bed and saw a robe so I pulled it and the curtains around the bed raised up. I slowly got out of the bed as I replayed everything in my mind hoping it wasn't a dream

"I remember there was mist swirling mist upon a vast, glassy lake" I sang out loud as I looked and saw the lake.

There were candles all around, and on the lake there was a boat" I sang and then pinched myself. Okay so it wasn't a dream and I wasn't currently dreaming

"and in the boat there was a man" I continued. Then I spotted him at a piano. he looked back and then began to play a sweet tone as I walked over to him.

"Who was that shape in the shadows?"
I sang as I came up and stood next to him

"Whose is the face in the mask?" I sang as I put my hands to his face. He lead into my touch and I took his mask off. He quickly covered his face and pushed me away knocking me to the ground

"Damn you! You little prying Pandora!" He sang angrily

"You little demon Is this what you wanted to see?" He sang as he pulled a cover off of a mirror and looked into it before knocking it to the ground and throwing things off of things

Curse you! You little lying Delilah! You little viper Now you cannot ever be free! Damn you... Curse you... Stranger than you dreamt it Can you even dare to look or bear to think of me: this loathsome gargoyle, who burns in bell, but secretly yearns for heaven, secretly..." he sang as anger turned to sadness

Sunshine... Fear can turn to love - you'll learn to see to find the man behind the monster" He sang now looking at me again.

"this repulsive carcass, who seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty, secretly... Oh, Sunshine..." He sang before he fell down to his knees and started to cry. I slowly crawled over to him and softly removed his hand from his face. I gasped at what I saw and he turned and tried to get up to leave but I quickly grabbed him and pulled him back to me. When I made him look at me he tried to cover his face again but I took his hand in mine and put it to my chest as I looked into his eyes to let him know it was ok. I then forced myself to look at the right side of his face again and I felt tears fell down my cheeks.

Burn over and over again into his face was a very crude three letter word. I let go of his hand and moved and hand up to caress the right side of his face then I pulled his closer and softly kiss each scarred word. When I pulled away his cheeks were completely wet with tears and he looked at me with shock.
I used both of my hands to wipe away his tears then pulled him into a warm embrace.

"You say to dream of beauty, but that's all I see" I lovingly said into his ear and he clutched on the the back of my shirt and buried his face into my shoulder to try and silence his crys

"Shh" I said as I played with his hair and rubbed circles on his back

"It's okay to cry Angel" I said and after a few moments of comforting him he pulled away and wipe his eyes.

"Nico" he said softly

"What?" I asked

"My name. I never told you" He said with the smallest hint of a smile.

"Nico?" I said

"Nico Di Angelo" he said after nodding

"Angelo? I guess you really were my Angel this entire time" I said
He smiled and gave a smell laugh before standing up then reaching his hand out for me. I took it and he pulled me up.

"You need to return. Those two idiots running the theater will be wondering were you are. He said
