[Confused by his own feelings, Angel doesn't bother to hide the conflicted expression as Val lifts his chin up to meet his gaze. Angel could have killed him. Could have freed himself. There's frustration at himself for not doing it, for not even thinking of it. But he knows he couldn't bring himself to do it even if Val asked him to. He loves Valentino more than he hates him. And as much as he longs for that freedom, he doesn't want it that way. He just wants to be let go. Or does he?

Those three words have always been his weak spot. Maybe because they're not given out too easily, and Angel swallows this one up gratefully, eagerly pushing to return the kiss and show he's worthy of that love.]

I love you too, Daddy. [He echoes easily, though he doesn't parrot back that message of trust.]
