Just Another Secret [drabble for watchmakersboy
"I..I think it's over" She started to sob into his shoulder, another wave of tears staining his shirt, "He...he, he said" Mag whimpered, clinging, and unable to voice the argument and a calm hand rested on her back.
"hey now, hey now, it's going to be okay" a tissue was presented, and Gabriel drew her closer to him on the couch, nearly on his lap. They both knew that he ought to be at Mag and Vitaly's apartment, or just Vitaly's apartment, if what she feared was true but yet here they were, in his living room, drinking copious amounts of wine. They also knew that once she had calmed down, that was where he would be. Probably even siding with him come morning.
It didn't matter.
"It's just... I just love him... so much." The argument had been over the wedding, created by stress, fear, and his family. It was too much for her to handle alone, and yet she insisted on trying.
"I know hon, you know I know that." Finally he kisses her cheek, tasting the salt tears and cold skin, she had stopped eating again, likely just from the neglect to remember or even care.
The kiss sparked something, and she glanced up, her over bright eyes studying his. "you know?" His nod was stopped by her lips, meeting his. Desperate and scared and the only part of her that was warm.
His hands slipped up from her shoulders to cradle her face and he kissed back. Slowly she moved from is side to straddle him, still kissing, mumbling and thinking that at least he understands, he knows. So as the kisses grew bolder, and more fierce, neither even blinked as he pulled up her shirt, and slipped a hand under her bra, feeling even more of her cold skin.
"You're so cold..." He whispered, pulling away for air. She reached around, and unhooked the clasp, leaning back down for another kiss, her features almost desperate,
"Keep me warm?"
He obliged, and just as they knew, and accepted, when the sun breached the window sill he got dressed, deciding to leave her asleep, hoping that while he went to hear Vitaly's story over coffee and breakfast at Denny's, and to convince him that she loved him, that it would be alright. That she would understand, and leave before he returned.
After all, it was their wedding day.
