Different...

Angel sighed softly.
"C-Can I stay here tonight m-momma?"

"Of course sweety. You're always welcome home... does Gabriel know?"

"No Momma, I just kinda...slipped through the window while he was busy with Misery...." Angel explained gently.

"Oh hell baby... but don't worry if he gets upset. Your daddy can take care of him." He kissed his cheek softly. "Wanna sleep with me and daddy tonight? Or you can have the guest room..."

"I wanna sleep with you and Brayden...." Angel mumbled into his mothers chest, his small hands clutching at the front of his shirt.

"Of course baby.." He pressed kisses in his hair. He looked at Quincy. "Is it alright if I sleep with him and Brayden just for tonight?"

Quincy shook his head, standing with Jude in his arms.
"No with him. I gotta think about Gabriel when he is here so I guess we will have to sleep on top of each other in our bed because when Johnson is involved, you dont leave me site Precious. Especially not to sleep."

Zac frowned.
"He's only here for the night babe... I'm sure i'll be fine." He kissed his cheek.

"No. You sleep with me. He and Brayden and come too but you are going to be with me." Quincy nodded, not leaving any room for argument.

"Fine." Zac nodded. He hadn't let go of Angel's hand yet.

"Okay. You guys ready for bed? Angel have you eaten anything yet?" Quincy's arms wound around his lovers lithe waist, his chin resting on Zac's shoulder.

Brayden stood behind Angel, hugging him gently just like his father was doing to his mother.
"I'm ready whenever Angel is.."

Angel sighed softly, he was not used to having the choice....He leaned back into Brayden, his arms coming to rest over that of his first love's.
"I don't care Brayden...I just wanna be close to you..."

"Okay... we can go to bed now then..." He nodded.

Quincy picked Zac up, holding him close and kissing his lips softly before carrying him of to bed, having Jude sleep with Riley tonight.

Brayden laid down with Angel in his arms. Zac laid on Angel's other side with Quincy.

Angel's head rested on Brayden's chest, his hands holding Brayden's, fingers intertwined. He hummed the tune Brayden had sang to him that first night...
He loved it so much....
Love me tender...

Brayden kissed the back of his neck softly and hummed with him.

"I love you Brayden...." He was still the same Angel Brayden had first met but now, he only saw him when he was calm and just hurting...

"I love you too..." Brayden whsispered. "Can I kiss you...?"

Angel paused, looking up at Brayden.
He was treated like a dog....He had thought he was Gabriels lover for a split second and he was nothing but a slave...a Dog....
"Yes...."
If Gabriel didnt treat him like a lover, he wasnt one.

Brayden leaned in and kissed him sweetly. It was only maybe a second long but so sweet.
If GAbriel found out... god only knows what he would do.

It brought tears to Angel's big blue eyes...
he had gotten his eyes from his mother....
"Brayden....Oh god..." He sniffled and pressed closer.

"Shh baby... its okay." He cooed softly.

Gabriel stood at the door, frown on his face as he watched his brothers kiss and then cuddle each other.
How he wanted to kill Angel....
He stayed and watched as the smaller one who had all the hate in the world aimed at him asked his other brother to sing to him, He watched as Angel fell asleep to Braydens voice..
He turned on his heel.
