Gabriel/Lindsey 1

[tricky_angel]

It had been a few days since he'd brought Lindsey to his home. He'd been giving the man a little time to adjust. Yeah, he'd taken most of his memories and locked them away so deep that no one would be able to find them, but deep down he'd left Lindsey with the sense that Gabriel wasn't done with him. That it hadn't just been a one night stand.

Gabriel hummed softly as he looked at the tv, smirking a bit when he saw Lindsey walking out of Wolfram & Hart. He was moving around his apartment, setting things up for what he hoped Lindsey would enjoy. A date of sorts, he thought to himself as he looked at the dinner he'd whipped up that would stay hot until they were ready to eat.

He was tempted to just snap and bring Lindsey there at that moment, but he decided to wait, to see for himself if the man would call for him or not. So far he hadn't, but he'd been occupied by work and probably worry over the fact that he was missing memories of their night together. Gabriel shrugged, summoning a glass of wine before sitting down and waiting.

There were more things on the lawyer's mind than the missing pieces of his one night stand as he became all but grilled by Wolfram and Hart over where he got his me hand. He felt a sense of loyalty that made him reluctant to answer, but even when subjected to mindreaders, he hadn't been able to reveal much.

They tried other things too, hypnosis and other memory delving tricks, but whatever it was, they couldn't get an answer. As expected, they started becoming suspicious of Lindsey.

Other than that, work went on as normal and Lindsey became wrapped in a case where his demonic client accidentally set a building on fire.

By the time he left his office, it was nearly midnight.

[tricky_angel]

He shifted, pushing himself back up to move over to the tv screen. He tilted his head as he watched Lindsey before shaking his head. "Come on, Lindsey. Call for me." He said softly before setting down his wine and moving through his apartment. He was restless it seemed.

He felt on edge. The barriers he'd put up to block the memories from the law firm had held easily, but Gabriel had still felt when the mindreaders had tried to glean the information they wanted. To say it had given Gabriel the creeps was an understatement.

[hellsbestlawyer]

Not knowing that his angelic patron was waiting for his call, Lindsey headed home and took his shower, a habit of his that Gabriel may notice he never broke regardless of what time he got home.

After his especially grueling day though, this time he took longer under the hot streams, just reflecting over the last few days.

The mindreaders had picked up that he was able to call to Gabriel and tried to make him, and he did, at the office, yet nothing came of it. Now though, in the short and looking at his new hand, he tried again.

Gabriel? Are you there? Who... what are you?

[tricky_angel]

His hand froze midway to picking up his wine and on instinct he snapped his fingers and Lindsey was standing in the middle of his living room. He hadn't even thought about what the man could be doing so when he saw that Lindsey was wet and naked he smiled.

"Memories back now?" He did pick up his glass, swirling the wine inside before taking a sip, eyes bright with amusement. He warmed the air of the apartment so Lindsey wouldn't get cold in his currently soaked state.

[hellsbestlawyer]

Lindsey sputtered when one moment he was in the shower and the next, he was standing, cold and dripping in the living room of the archangel's place.

"What in the world! Gabriel!" he cried, memories having flooded back and left the lawyer none too pleased with his current state.

He also flushed beet red when he realized that the archangel was just standing there, sipping wine and smirking at his naked state. "Couldn't you wait— I was in the shower!" He looked around desperately for something to cover himself with. "My shower's still on!" he added crossly when he couldn't seem to find anything.

[tricky_angel]

He thought for a moment, snapping after looking at Lindsey for a long appreciative moment. Suddenly a towel appeared around his waist. "Your shower isn't running anymore. You called me and...well I've been waiting." He actually blushed, shifting before stepping closer.

"I'm sorry. It...I didn't really think. You could finish your shower here though." He stepped to the side so Lindsey could see into the kitchen. "I was kind of hoping you might want to stay the night. I...made dinner and..." He suddenly shifted again, almost seeming self conscious.

[hellsbestlawyer]

Lindsey was dumbfounded when he saw the waiting dinner in the kitchen beyond. It was a wine and dine deal, definitely on par with the best dinners he had had with clients.

Clutching tightly at the magical towel, he shook his head and ran his free hand through his wet hair. "It's alright, I was done. It's just that I don't have any clothes and—" what Gabriel had said caught up to him. "You've been waiting?"

That earned the angel a disbelieving look and he shook his head. "Can you get me some clothes?"

[tricky_angel]

"I couldn't do anything when you called for me before. Pulling you out of there might have given them an idea of who I am...and I'm not ready for them to know that. It would put you in...a lot of danger." He snapped again, pointing towards the bedroom. "Go get dressed."

He took another sip of his wine before sitting down on the couch, leaning back. "I was hoping you would call for me sooner. I've been itching to pull you back anyways, but I didn't know if you would want that."

[hellsbestlawyer]

Lindsey was actually a bit touched that Gabriel cared. Going to the indicated room, Lindsey spoke as he moved.

"Yeah, it would've been a bad idea if you did anything in those circumstances. Waiting was the better choice although I'm not sure that they haven't been checking on me since then."

Lindsey glanced into the bedroom to see what it was waiting for him there. Anything would've been better than the towel he had on. He was actually pleased to find that some of his clothes were there waiting for him. "You raided my closet?"

[hellsbestlawyer]

Morning came with Lindsey curled up against the angel, recalling hazily only part of what happened last night. He was in the shower when thinking of Gabriel brought him here. They ate and tried to wash tv...

Oh, he had fallen asleep after all.

So how did he end up in the bed, warmly covered by the blankets and snuggled with an archangel beside him? He couldn't recall any of this, much less getting into the bedroom as he was now.

Not wanting to wake up Gabriel if the other was sleeping, Lindsey stayed where he was and thought.

[tricky_angel]

Generally when Gabriel actually did sleep, he tended to sleep like the dead. He shifted, brushing fingers down over Lindsey's side before huffing into the pillow and turning. He ended up pretty much face down into the pillow, one arm shoved up under the pillow while the other was pressed against Lindsey's side.

[hellsbestlawyer]

With Gabriel shifting, Lindsey's thoughts turned towards his patron. A strange encounter if anything, the lawyer still didn't quite know what to think of the man beside him.

An archangel, who also knew about his occupation, his contract with hell, yet seemed only determined to help him out. It had been two nights, but true to the the word given to him, Gabriel hadn't tried hurting him at all.

In fact, archangel didn't seem to want much from him at all except to cuddle, feed, and have sex. It was worth it though. Lindsey could think of worse conditions to fulfill than to play concubine for an archangel. No, not concubine... although he had no idea what he was in their strange little relationship.

Deciding it was too early for such thoughts, he closed his eyes and tried to blank out his mind. He could stay here as long as he wanted. He could use that break. He might as well enjoy that for now.

[tricky_angel]

Finally several long minutes later his head came up and he looked around blearily. His eyes went to the window immediately and he made a sound, fingers snapping and the curtains shut against the light. Just because they were in a different reality didn't mean he didn't let the days and nights pass the same. Even if the time wasn't...well real.

He dropped back down, looking over at Lindsey before smiling softly. He could tell Lindsey was awake. "Morning." He shifted, stretching out next to him before turning to face him.

[hellsbestlawyer]

Lindsey turned and gave Gabriel a soft smile. "I'm not used to waking up beside someone," he said blandly before answering with his own "Good morning."

Even though time meant nothing, it would seem that Lindsey's body still recognized its passage. There was a morning stubble on the lawyer's face and his voice was raspy from a night's sleep. But he looked good though, that was probably the most rest he got since the last time he was here.

[tricky_angel]

He chuckled, leaning in and kissing his cheek. "It can be interesting to get used to it. If you want to." He slowly pushed himself up, looking around.

"Breakfast sound good?" He had shed his shirt at some point during the night and he pushed the blanket down, lightly scratching his chest. "Hmm maybe a shower first..." He mumbled before brushing his fingers through his wild hair.

[hellsbestlawyer]

"Breakfast sounds great." Sitting up, Lindsey ran a hand through his mussed up hair and spent a moment to consider the day's activities. It really came down to what did the archangel want to do.

He knew Gabriel hadn't asked, but if he was going to stay on the man's good side, he might as well take some initiative.

"So does a shower... yes, a shower." His smile warmed when he turned it onto the archangel. "Mind if I join you?"

[tricky_angel]

Gabriel smiled at Lindsey before nodding. "Shower first, then breakfast and of course you can join me. You can do whatever you want while you're here. We don't even have to stay here. I have dozens of places like this."

He slipped out of bed, stretching briefly again before padding towards the bathroom. "Tropical paradises, secluded bungaloos, you name it."

[hellsbestlawyer]

Lindsey had first come here expecting to entertain an archangel, but despite himself, he was actually enjoying this short break. It was nothing he ever experienced before and being able to do nearly whatever he wanted, without fear of Wolfram and Hart or how it would cause ripples back to his work, it was truly amazing.

All he had to worry about was Gabriel and the angel was very accommodating so far.

That didn't mean Lindsey would do whatever he wanted. By the fourth day, he was sitting relaxed on the large couch and perusing the case files he brought from home. He was eventually going back to work, and even if Gabriel had promised that he could send him back without having lost any time, Lindsey still preferred to be caught up.

So for that whole morning, he leisurely read.

[tricky_angel]

Gabriel let Lindsey do his reading, finding himself sprawled comfortably on the couch next to him, head in the lawyer's lap. His eyes were fixed on the tv, watching some random television show that happened to be on. It was one of those shows that ran clips of people doing stupid things and getting hurt for it. He snorted at one stunt, rolling his eyes before briefly looking up at Lindsey.

"You know, Linds, I don't know anyone who brings work on a vacation. You really are a workaholic." He rubbed a hand over his thigh before turning his head and kissing his leg through the pj bottoms. He stretched a bit, summoning a soda and taking a sip.

[hellsbestlawyer]

Lindsey gave his leg a little jolt to dislodge Gabriel a bit in return for that comment. "It's just a little reading. I don't care that you can return me without any time lost... It wouldn't do if I can't remember anything from the meeting I had supposedly the day before."

He looked up from the pages down to where Gabriel was still sprawled on his leg. "I can't just do nothing and have sex every day."

[tricky_angel]

"You haven't done nothing! We've done lots besides have sex." He pouted, swatting at Lindsey's knee. "Plus you've been reading them ALL day!" He shifted, sliding his fingers up Lindsey's inner thigh. If the man didn't stop he was going to nab his files and run with them.

"Plus whats wrong with having sex! I've never heard you complain before. Especially not last night...in fact I think I remember you saying something like...'Oh please Gabe don't stop. I could spend all day having you fuck me and fill me. Make me yours.'? He smirked.

[hellsbestlawyer]

Lindsey turned a very bright crimson though he managed to meet that smirk on with a smirk of his own. "I wasn't complaining, I was merely making a statement." He turned his eyes back onto his reading material, using it as an excuse to hide as much as read.

"Also, I'm quite sure I didn't say it like that."

[tricky_angel]

His eyes narrowed at the papers, but he saw just how red the man had turned. "Oh you said it just like that. Want proof?" He grinned, snapping his fingers and suddenly the tv show was gone. Suddenly the room was filled with moaning and Lindsey's voice saying the exact things Gabriel had just said.

The video showed Lindsey up against the wall, Gabriel pounding into him. Both of them were covered in a sheen of sweat. "So would you like to retract that statement?" He reached up, snagging the papers Lindsey was reading, sitting up and moving away quickly.

[hellsbestlawyer]

If Lindsey wasn't crimson before, he was definitely scarlet now. The tips of his ears burned red hot and with Gabriel grabbing his papers, he couldn't even hide behind them as a barrier.

"Gabriel!!" He cried out, mortified but using his anger at Gabriel grabbing his things to hide it. Yet, at the same time, he couldn't stop glancing to the tv. Seeing himself on television, watching how he was all but drilled into the wall by the archangel pinning him there, Gabriel may notice that Lindsey's PJs were beginning to tent at the front.

Finally tearing his eyes away from the tv, he glared at the angel. "Give me back my file!"

[tricky_angel]

Oh he noticed. The scene changed quickly to a scene of them in the shower with Gabriel on his knees, Lindsey pressed back against the tile as the archangel sucked and fingered him. Even with the water cascading down the sounds Gabriel and Lindsey were making could easily be heard.

"Come and get it." He danced backwards towards the deck, waving the file playfully and smiling brightly. "If you can catch me I might let you have it back."
