He stretched a bit, waiting until Lindsey was definitely deeply asleep before he slipped out of the bed, producing a copy of himself to cuddle with Lindsey while he was gone. He padded softly out of the bedroom before snapping his normal clothing into place, smiling down and nodding.
Gabriel rolled his shoulder, tugging his jacket a bit before glancing one time towards the bedroom and suddenly disappearing. Suddenly he found himself in a living room in the middle of the night. He was invisible just in case anyone happened to be awake.
He moved silently through the house, just to make sure he was in the right place and he smiled when he sensed Lindsey, albeit not HIS Lindsey in the house. Finally he headed back downstairs, deciding not to use his usual finger snaps. No, instead he would just summon the things he wanted.
It took a few hours before it was perfected, but when he was done there was a huge Christmas tree in the corner of the living room and it was piled with toys, clothes, and everything else the family could imagine. He'd also fully stocked their kitchen, making sure they had everything for Christmas Dinner. He paused, summoning a small card that only said "Your Guardian Angel" on it as well as a teddy bear dressed as an angel. He wrapped a ribbon around its neck, making a tag with Lindsey's name on it.
Once he felt everything was perfect he skipped ahead a couple of years. It was the same each time he skipped. The family would find that they had been given a wonderful Christmas, toys and clothes, food, anything he could dream up for them. Once there had even been a new car in the driveway with an envelope filled with money in the console.
Always, there was a note that simply stated "Your Guardian Angel." This happened throughout Lindsey's life. Gabriel never revealed himself. Only left a note or a card for them to find. He watched Lindsey grow up, turning from a child to a teen, and then finally into an adult.
He smiled as he looked around Lindsey's place, humming softly before slipping into his bedroom. He watched him for a moment and his smile brightened before he slipped back out. He rubbed his hands together, ready to make this the best surprise of any of the ones he'd given the man.
Once again an elaborate Christmas tree appeared in the middle of the living room, decorated merrily. This time everything beneath was only for Lindsey. There were no toys, but there were other things Lindsey might like. He included clothes as well, knowing Lindsey probably needed some.
He filled Lindsey's kitchen, just like he had every other time he had popped into his life. There was a huge Christmas Dinner in there as well. Once he double checked over all that he nodded, moving back into the living. Now, for the best part and the finishing touch.
He once again rubbed his hands together before summoning up a beautiful Gibson acoustic guitar. He made it custom, with Lindsey's name engraved on the head. He summoned a stand for it, resting it gently down before a red and gold bow appeared around the neck.
Of course, last he summoned up the card with his usual signature, resting it gently on top of the guitar where he knew Lindsey would see.
Never before had he stuck around to see the responses of Lindsey or his family, but this time...no this time he would stay. Lindsey would never know he was there though so he skipped ahead just a few hours, smiling as the sun came pouring in through the windows of the small apartment.
