Different...

Gabriel held him tight. It really didn't take too long before he was dead... Gabriel hated to watch it..

No, it was not long before Gabriel's breathing stopped, and his body went limp in the other mans arms...
Poor boy...

Gabriel sighed, frown on his face as he took Gabriel into the bathroom. He started a shower and stripped them both, stepping into the warm water with the limp body in his arms. He figured Gabriel wouldn't mind this. Not like they hadn't seen the other naked before.

The boy wouldnt really care but heaven help him if Calvin knew...

Yes, Gabriel knew Calvin would flip but quite frankly he could care less. If not for Angel he would've touched Gabriel just to spite Calvin. But he behaved and just watched them before drying them both off. He dressed Gabriel in some of his clothes which were way too big but it would have to do.

But the question was, if not for Angel, would Gabriel have been willing?
No....
So the larger man would not have been able to unless it was forced and Gabriel...could hold his own or a while.

GAbriel carried his friend to his and Angel's room, lying him on the bed.

Angel was still apparently curled under the bed, hiding from his lover and everyone else.

"Gabriel is laying with me tonight Angel. He's dead." He sighed as he laid down beside his former lover.

Angel could be heard whimpering. He crawled from under the bed, getting to his feet and nodding, twirling the ring on his finger.
"I....Ill go sleep in my corner...." He whispered softly, obviously upset. Gabriel had just proposed...he wanted to be close...
He trudged from the room with his head down.

Gabriel stood and grabbed his hand.
"No... theres room for the three of us."
Just for tonight, Angel could sleep in the bed... it was special.

Angel blinked at him, his tiny hand wrapping around his lovers large one.
"Okay...."
He stepped up, pressing close to his lover and giving a small whine as the voices in his head up roared about Gabriel in THEIR bed.

Gabriel laid Angel down on the bed and then laid in between the two boys. He pressed a kiss to Gabriel's forehead and one to Angel's lips.

Angel moved, laying atop his lovers chest.
"Gabriel....We gotta tell Cade...Well you do...."
He had yet to see his son since Cade told him he didnt want to see him after Angel moved him.
Almost two years now...

"You have to tell too baby. You gotta go see him." He nodded.

"He doesnt want to see me Gabriel, he made that clear. I love him so much but I want better for him than this...I want him to have a life...friends....I want him to grow up without having to worry about protecting me or if you are going to hurt him..."

"He misses you." Gabriel sighed. "Sorry Ifucked him up." He drug a hand down his face.

"I....I cant forgive you for hurting him like you did....You swore you wouldnt when I had him and not because of it...My one baby....I cant even see him every day and he is only a kid..."

Gabriel averted his gaze. He wished he could stop but he couldn't. just like he couldn't stop hurting Angel.

Angel sighed softly.
"So you gotta tell him tomorrow for me...let him know his momma loves him."

"Come with me baby." Gabriel sighed.

"Ill go and stay out with my uncle Dustin...." he sighed softly, he didnt know the man well but he was nice...

"Please say hi to Cade at least? Every time I visit he asks about you."

"Whats he ask...?" Angel wondered aloud. "If you killed me for good yet?"

"That first." He sighed. He hated it. "When I say no he asks how you are. After that he asks if he can come back. Then if we still love him."
