gabriel_slash Gabriel returned to the ruins of the soup kitchen after leaving Jade, looking for what remained of his sweet Ithuriel. But there was nothing. There were others, bloodied, broken, cast aside as worthless, but the one his heart ached for was nowhere to be seen. There was nothing to hold, to see, to accept the finality of the knowledge that rocked and ricocheted inside his mind. “I should have left you in peace. Forgive me, Ithuriel.”
“I would have given up my peace willingly, if it meant seeing you again, Gabriel.” Gabriel whirled around, to see Ithuriel standing not a foot away. Gabriel dashed to him; held him in his arms, felt the impossible beating of Ithuriel’s heart. “You’re alive.”
“I remembered my true self in time.” Ithuriel sighed heavily. “I couldn’t save them…or this place.” Gabriel held his newly found brother in arms tighter, knowing that this humble building had been Ithuriel’s only source of redemption. “Let’s go.”
They returned to Gabriel’s little shelter, sitting next to each other on the little bed that smelled of him and Jade. Ithuriel sighed. “The others are gone. It’s just us now.” Gabriel nodded. “Did you copulate with Jade?” Gabriel nodded again, this time a little more slowly. “Did you…enjoy it?”
“Yes, I did.”
“…will you show me?”
“What?” Ithuriel blushed, looking down at the floor. “You want to have sex with me?” Ithuriel wouldn’t look up.
“I want to feel…closer to you.”
Gabriel touched Ithuriel’s cheek, stroking gently, feeling the heat of his blush. “Will you let me kiss you?” Ithuriel looked up, and nodded. Gabriel brushed their lips together; Ithuriel pulled away after a few moments. Gabriel stroked his hair. “Do you not like it?”
“…do it again.” Gabriel kissed him again, harder, a hand on his thigh as Jade had done to him. They kissed for a while, breaking contact to breath, to come closer together. Gabriel slid his tongue into Ithuriel’s mouth and a hand up his shirt, thumbing a nipple. He felt Ithuriel whimper softly into his mouth, and he leaned back to peel the shirt off, revealing flushed skin. Gabriel kissed his neck and down his chest, Ithuriel gasping as he went. “Gabriel-I-I…”
“Are you all right?” Gabriel smoothed a hand down to Ithuriel’s thigh and rubbed gently. Ithuriel squirming, gasping again, chest heaving. “Feels good?” Ithuriel leaned up and kissed him, one hand sliding down to touch the bulge in Gabriel’s pants shyly. Gabriel groaned into the kiss, gently pushing Ithuriel on his back to undo his pants. Ithuriel let him, but covered his erection with his hands. “Don’t,” said Gabriel. “I want to see you.” Gabriel lifted off his hands, revealing Ithuriel’s erection. He brushed a finger over the silky head, and Ithuriel made a soft whimpering noise. This was very different from Amitiel, who had taken control and thrust his fingers inside herself. Ithuriel looked a little frightened, and Gabriel didn’t want that. “Do you want me to stop?”
“No. But can you…undress?” Gabriel nodded, taking off his clothes, letting Ithuriel look at him. He felt Ithuriel’s wandering over his body as he lay down next to him. He took Ithuriel’s silken hardness in hand, stroking gently, Ithuriel panting and curling against him. Gabriel kissed him again as he stroked. Ithuriel whimpered, and to Gabriel’s surprise, sucked on Gabriel’s lower lip. Gabriel stroked faster, playing with the tip of Ithuriel’s hardness, listening to him whimper and gasp. “Gabriel…I’m…” Gabriel knew what was coming, even though he’d only just experienced it himself. “It’s all right,” he said. Ithuriel clutched at him.
“Gabriel-it-I feel-” Gabriel kissed him, swallowing a gasp as Ithuriel spurted over his hand.
They lay curled against each other, trading lazy kisses until Ithuriel reached a hand down and massaged Gabriel’s erection. “You don’t have to, I’m all right.” Ithuriel didn’t stop, unzipping Gabriel’s pants; Gabriel sighed with relief as his erection was exposed to the air. “What should I do?” Amitiel had licked it, but he didn’t expect that from Ithuriel.
“You can just touch.”
“She didn’t just touch it, did she?” Ithuriel took off his hand. “She did more. This?” He slid down and lapped at the head. Gabriel groaned, lifting his hips without meaning to.
“Ithuriel,” he whispered, a hand sliding down to stroke Ithuriel’s hair. Ithuriel kept licking, with little skill but with enough enthusiasm to make up for it. Gabriel pulled him up and kissed him, rubbing his wet cock against the warmth of Ithuriel’s thigh. Gabriel groaned; Ithuriel panted, hard again against Gabriel. Gabriel took both of them in his hand and began pulling, letting himself drown in the sound of Ithuriel’s breathing and the squishing noises that his hand was making. He could feel himself climbing up, and he knew it was soon.
“Ithuriel, are you close?” Ithuriel nodded, pressing nearer and shuddering, kissing Gabriel again and again. “Together, then,” Gabriel whispered, and he rubbed harder. Ithuriel whimpered as he came again, and Gabriel couldn’t hold it back any longer, releasing all over his hand and Ithuriel’s stomach.
The room was cold, but neither of them noticed as they curled together on the bed. “I have to go soon,” Gabriel whispered. “Lilith.” Ithuriel nodded. “Will you stay?” Ithuriel nodded and kissed him.
“I’ll keep the bed warm for you.” And with one last kiss, Gabriel dressed and headed out.
