Different...

"Gee I was looking forward to having a daddy. Darn." Gabriel muttered sarcastically.

Angel turned and sniffled at him. He was unaware of the sarcasm. It was sure honesty and pain radiating from him.
"M-Me too...."

Zac frowned deeply and hugged his son.
"You still got momma..." No matter what Quincy said, Angel would have his momma...

Quincy shook his head, pulling Zac away and too his side.
"Zac, Precious, not now."
Not with that fucking maniacal idiot.

Zac frowned but nodded, staying by Quincy's size.
There had been a bit of truth in Gabriel's seemingly sarcastic statement earlier. He didn't really care that he wouldn't have a father. Hadn't since he was three.

Riley chewed his lip, watching Angel for a while before tugging his father into the other room and talking lowly with him.
When they came back Quincy seemed a bit irritated but defeated.
"Gabriel your coming fishing with me and Riley next Saturday. You wanna be in this family, your about to be interviewed. If me and Riley pass you off then alright, marry my son. If not, there wont be a wedding."

"Oh hell." Gabriel ran a hand through his thick black hair and sighed but nodded nonetheless.

Quincy smirked.
"Boy you don't know the hell you just got yourself into."

"I don't." He agreed, cursing under his breath.

Quincy patted his shoulder, happy with himself.
"Damn, I should get Dustin in on this."

"Hell I don't even know him but isn't two people enough?" He groaned. What the hell had he gotten himself into?

"For most but if you wanna be part of the family, you gotta know the family and who your dealing with. Me and Dustin are what you gotta watch."

"Just great. Is he as annoying as you?" He smirked.

"Son, listen to me, your marrying my son. You will be my son. Ill treat you like my son. Ill whip your ass. So you dont be smart with me. See, I rarely whip my kids, they knew not to be bad. And even when they are I dont do it, I actually havent spanked the, since they were toddlers, You are about to be treated like a toddler if you wanna be smart. And no, he is annoying, im just...the daddy." He nodded.

Gabriel raised an eyebrow, wanting to laugh. He had never gotten his ass whipped before and he didn't plan on starting now. But he'd humor Quincy.
"Yes sir." he smirked.

Quincy smirked back at him, he was ready for a challenge. It was apparent Gabriel didnt have a father, and he was about to show him what its like to have one.

"So this weekend?" He cracked his neck, yawning.

"Yeah, be here by seven." He nodded, his arms winding around his lover.

"Will do." Gabriel nodded. "Say bye babe." He nodded at Angel. "Or you wanna tell anyone else?" His eyes scanned the house for Brayden.

"No, im okay." He did not want to tel Brayden...he wanted to do it when they could be alone.
He hugged Gabriel tight, nudging him to the door.

Gabriel took one last look and reluctantly nodded, carrying Angel back home.

Angel sighed softly and snuggled him.
"Now,.....you family?"

Gabriel sighed.
"Sure..." He headed off in the opposite direction of his home. He walked for miles and miles to some shitty little run down town. He made his way to a trailer park. he walked through it, looking at the numbers on doors... well attempting to look at the numbers. Most were falling off or were so covered in dirt you couldnt tell what they were. But there was no mistaking his old home. God he missed it... not.

Angel stayed silent, just watching as his surroundings changed up. He had lived in a trailer park much like this one when he was younger. He never thought this was how his lover was brought up though.

"Yeah...sorry." He sighed as he knocked on the door, almost knocking it off the hinges with his powerful fist.
Soon a tiny woman arrived at the door. She was dressed in all leather, her eyes were sunken in and her lips were pursed. Her hair was so obviously died bleach blonde and she really neeeded to redie it. Her roots were very visible.
She beamed at Gabriel and pulled him down into a tight hug.
To this day the smell of that perfume still made the large man's stomach churn.
He looked plain sick. It was obvious on his handsome features.
"Gabriel." She flashed him a smile revealing browning teeth, some were missing altogether.
He uncomfortably forced a smile back.
Angel had would've never seen this side of him...
