Note: The power went out while I was visiting my parents, and Mum decided to bathe the house in candles for no particular reason. I sat at the counter surrounded by candles and wrote this.

Nick smiled as Jimmy lit yet another candle and set it on the counter. There were at least eight set out already, bathing the kitchen in a golden glow. When he turned to fetch yet another, Nick finally intervened.
"Babe, there are plenty of candles already. You don't need to light any more." He did his best to not sound condescending, but couldn't stop the faint tint of amusement from seeping through.
"You sure? I've got more, how about a couple more, it's still pretty dark."
"No it's not," Nick asserted, stepping around the counter to wrap his lover in his arms. "Anyway, the power will be back on soon, and then we'll just have to blow everything out and put them all away."
"Yeah, but..." Jimmy faltered, a tiny sliver of fear creeping into his voice and making Nick want to hit something. "What if the wind gets in and blows some of the candles out?"
"Then we'll light them again. What's wrong? You don't usually act like this at night."
"Well... it's never fully dark here," Jimmy sagged in Nick's arms as he came clean. "There's always light from the other rooms, or from the street lamps, or whatever. Never pitch black."
Instead of immediately responding, Nick paused and considered it. They both had issues after being angelic vessels, but he'd never had a problem with darkness since gaining freedom. Shrugging it off as one of Jimmy's many idosyncrasies, Nick decided to just comfort the smaller man as best he could.
"Hey, it's gonna be fine," Nick said softly, making Jimmy look up at him. "I'm right here. You're safe. I promise." With that he lowered his head and pressed his lips to Jimmy's in a chaste kiss. Jimmy immediately kissed back, and soon it turned into hot, filthy, tongues and all making-out, with hands roaming and groping easily."You're safe with me," were the last words spoken as Nick lifted Jimmy onto the table and the pair started shedding clothes.
Neither of them noticed when the power came back on.
