[AU where Philip is an ex-junkie and Theo is a junkie. Hamiltime with a touch of modern.]

Philip was living with his roommate Georges Washington de Lafayette in an apartment. Georges went out to get something, and he heard a knock on the door.

"What'd you forget?" He asked, assuming it was him. "Got a light?" A girl sang, holding a candle.

"I know you... you're... you're shivering" Philip sang back to the girl. "It's nothing, they turned off my heat, and I'm just a little weak on my feet. Would you light my candle?" She asked Philip. When he had no response, she asked "What are you staring at?" "Nothing! Your hair in the moonlight..." Philip sang back. He then lit the candle

"You look familiar. Can you make it?" He asked the girl.

"Just haven't eaten much today. At least the room stopped spinning anyway...what?", she said back.

"Nothing... your smile reminded me of --" Philip sang.

"'I always remind people of'...who is she?" the girl asked.

"She died. Her name was Mary" Philip said. He had dated Mary Jefferson for a while, but she died. Philip has been depressed ever since.

The girl then blew out the candle on purpose.  "It's out again. Sorry about your friend. Would you light my candle?" She asked

"Well..." Philip said. He lit the candle again. "Yeah... ow!" the girl said.

Philip noticed the candle "Oh the wax is..." "Dripping!" the girl said, then she put her knee in between his legs "I like it between my--" "Fingers!" Philip interrupted her "I figured...
Oh, well. Goodnight."

The girl then walked out and blew out the candle, and then knocked on his door.

"It blew out again?" he asked.

"No -- I think that I dropped my stash!" the girl said

"I know I've seen you out and about when I used to go out. Your candle's out" he said

"I'm illin'. I had it when I walked in the door. It was pure. Is it on the floor?" the girl asked, getting down to her knees so her butt was prominent in Philip's face. She was pretending to look for her stash.

"The floor?" he asked

"They say I have the best a** below 14th street. Is it true?" the girl asked him, trying to flirt with him. "What?" "You're staring again!" she said to him,.

"Oh no. I mean you do have a nice...I mean... you look familiar" he said

"Like your dead girlfriend?" the girl asked

"Only when you smile, but I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else" Philip said

"Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club? That's where I work - I dance. Help me look!" she sang

"Yes! They used to tie you up!" Philip said. The girl was also a dancer at the club. That's why she looked familiar.

"I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs" he told her

"We could light the candle. Oh, won't you light the candle?" she still asked him

"Why don't you forget that stuff? You look like you're sixteen" Philip sang, a bit concerned for the girl.

"I'm nineteen, but I'm old for my age. I'm just born to be bad!" she told him

Philip then picked up on something.
"I once was born to be bad. I used to shiver like that" he said

"I have no heat. I told you," the girl said, making an excuse.

"I used to sweat" "I got a cold,"

"Uh-huh... I used to be a junkie" Philip told the girl. He went through the symptoms himself. There was no fooling him.

"But now and then I like to..." the girl started "Uh-huh?" he pressed on. "Feel good" she finished.

He found the stash "Oh! Here it..." he said. "What's that?" the girl asked. "Oh, a candy bar wrapper" he lied.

"We could light the candle. Oh, what'd you do with my candle?" she went back to square one.

"That was my last match" Philip said. "Our eyes will adjust. Thank God for the moon" the girl sang.

"Maybe it's not the moon at all, I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street." Philip sang.

"Bah, humbug. Bah, humbug" the girl sang. It was Christmas.

"Cold hands..." Philip said. "Yours, too. Big, like my father's. Wanna dance?" The girl asked him.

"With you?"he asked. "No, with my father," she sang.

"I'm Philip" he said.

"They call me, they call me Theo!" The girl sang, waving the stash she got out of Philip's back pocket in front of his face.
