The Sexiest Angel in the Garrison is currently not available. I'm probably having sex with your crush or having fun doing the things you always wanted to do but never had the balls to try. Leave a message.
[ Gabe will vouch that it never goes well. Normally they all take sides- traditionally he takes Luci's and Raphael takes Mike's. But as none of his brothers are here, it can't work out that way. Besides, when the chips really are down. Gabriel doesn't take any sides at all.
If he was controlling himself, he wouldn't be flirting. Like he promised. Still, he isn't completely out of control yet, and that wide, cheeky grin is very just on him. What is it with men with such angular jaws?]
It's not arrogant if it's the truth. [Although Gabriel is fairly up himself about his own abilities.] If you feel you have something to prove, feel free. Get into all the trouble you like.
Well, I'll give you that. But he's human, it's part of the territory. You can't tell me you aren't bury anything deep down?
[ Now now, Andy made no promises. Unlike certain virtuous types, he can and will lie, if it happens to suit him, but he doesn't generally bother. He is what he is, at least down to a certain point before things start to get murky and dark. If he wasn't behaving himself, there would be a lot less in the way of personal space. There may be some insolent mischievousness in his eyes, but it lacks the kind of predatory intent that he often has when he's entertaining ideas. ]
I don't think you really want me to get into some kind of dick-measuring contest with you, Gabriel. If I start taking clothes off in here with you, Lestrade would not be entertained.
[ He knows that's not what Gabriel was thinking. But how else would he really know if Gabriel's better than him? He'll believe it when he sees it. Or perhaps hears from an impartial third-party. Hmm. ]
Sure, but not along the lines of sexual desires. I'm not ashamed of anything I like. I dunno why they are.
[Gabriel can deal with a few lies. He would be a hypocrite if he told Andy off for telling untruths. But that's demons for you. Crowley lies constantly, naturally and unashamedly. Andy can too no doubt. But he could no doubt be worse but Gabriel would like to hope Andy can occasionally be frank and honest with him.
Not too frank though. They don't need to start stripping off or closing distances. This is fine.
Let's face it. Dicks have very little to do with it. If you can't seduce someone with all your clothes on, then you don't deserve to get your clothes off. [He isn't in competition with you Andy. He isn't in competition with anyone, he has what he wants. He knows he's better. End of.
Andy can ask Greg if he needs confirmation. But he's hardly impartial.]
They were built differently to us. Dad gave them shame so they would know when they had done wrong. But it sort of got screwed up with all sorts of other things too. And I didn't mean you were repressing anything sexy. Just stuff.
[ Andy's been honest with him so far. For the most part. Almost completely. Maybe just a little cheeky, evasive rounding off of the truth. Definitely staying away from the really heavy personal issues. They're not really talking about him, anyway.
He sighs heavily and shakes his head at Gabriel. ]
You've been hanging around a certain serious, literal human too much. I was just teasing, and the metaphor amused me, so I ran with it. Can you really blame me?
[ Yeah, he's repressing a few things. If he wasn't... well, existence would be more overtly torturous. He much prefers the easy routine that he's fallen into here. ]
[ Dancing around the truth is okay. There's a difference between that and truth. It's a fine line, but Gabriel knows that there is one. Greg might not agree, he'd say the absence of the truth was the same as a lie, but he's a copper, they don't think the same way as the rest of the universe. The point is Gabriel has been... selective with the truth as it is, avoiding certain unpleasantness for the time being with Greg. It'll come to light soon enough, but what Gabriel wants to do is pick the time and place they have that conversation.
At the mention of the serious and sexy Lestrade, Gabriel grins from ear to ear.] Well, I wouldn't say too much. Probably not enough, recently. That's why he's grumpy.
You're not all bad, you know that? Not that I'd say that in public, I know you've got a reputation to protect. But you're okay kid. Which is more than I can say for a lot of your colleagues.
[And with that, he slips off the edge of the desk and stretches, letting each of the vertebrae in his back pop and his shoulders crack.] I think we understand each other, don't we?
[ Andy knows that he's not all bad. He never was, though for a long time those 'not bad' parts were repressed so much that he's started to think that they had burned away completely. They hadn't. Where that leaves him, exactly, he's not sure anymore, but he's out of the business of sowing misery, violence, and destruction.
Not for anyone else. Not while he still has a choice. ]
I'm not that worried about my big scary reputation. I'm more of a lover than a fighter, you know? [ Despite the disarming, if slightly bitter smile, Gabriel would know that's not exactly true. He knows what Andariel really is, after all. Maybe better than he does in some ways. ] I think we do. We don't really have a conflict of interest, after all.
You should call me sometime. While the cute little human-angels are out getting drinks, maybe we could do the same?
