[ You know what's going to happen when you try to drag Gabriel into a shower Greg. It might start out all innocent and "washing the soot out" but then there will be suds and skin on skin and hungry kisses and Gabriel is going to end up against those cold tiles. Not that he minds, not at all. Gabriel has always avoided getting his wings wet though, if only because his don't seem to dry as nicely or as quickly once they're sodden. But Greg will no doubt see to it they're very carefully dried, lovingly so. Gabriel really hasn't got any reason to complain.
He should never have listened to what Gabriel said then. It was just a bitter remark in passing, made before they knew each other. Gabriel didn't like Little Eden, the concept still doesn't sit well with him, and it was a cruel thing to say to a man who had done nothing to him and only showed him kindness and understanding. It will clearly be one of those things that Gabriel always regrets saying.
Luckily for Gabriel those thoughts only spring up in the middle of the night in the darkness when he doesn't sleep. It's just a pity he rarely sleeps. Still, Greg provides a wonderful distraction right now. In fact, Greg is always a perfect distraction from everything that's horrible. Here everything is perfect, or as near to perfect as it can ever be. ]
Of course. The sight of you shirtless would have been too distracting for everyone else.
[ That's why Gabriel would never have been a good human. Washing up, laundry, hoovering? No thank you. Those things sort themselves out- normally because he wills it so, or because some poor sap has already done it. At least he cleans up after himself when he makes breakfast, and when dirty clothes get taken off in Greg's house they end up clean and pressed and back in Greg's closet by morning? He does try to earn his keep in that regard.
Rugby isn't even thinly disguised. Well, some of it isn't. Gabriel's always preferred League rugby, because there's nothing in the rules about biting the opposite team, but he'll watch Union where biting is banned if Greg prefers.]
Hmm, but there I have to share you. There's paperwork and... bad guys and distractions.
[Distractions from things like this, the touch of lips suddenly hot and needy, like a switch had been flicked on. Gabriel's moving, wings shuddering as they open further, to balance them as he moves to better to lean in and kiss Greg back properly, his hands moving over Greg's bare skin. It's really not fair, for Greg to still be naked and Gabriel to be fully dressed. But that can be fixed later, right now there's just the kiss and the desire to be as close to Greg as he can be.]
