Gabriel/Lindsey 1

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.

"I've been living mostly without a plan for centuries. Its not as hard as it seems." He kissed him, cupping his face as he let the kiss linger for several moments. He groaned, leaning their foreheads together. "If I knew you wouldn't end up hating it I would keep you in this, in my reality forever. Damn you for being a workaholic." He smiled, taking all the heat out of his words.

"Think back Lindsey. Back before Wolfram & Hart, before college...back to when you were a kid or any other time you ever wanted something. Tell me, is there any place you ever wanted to go? Some...far off dream you had of a place you'd never been but always wanted to go? I don't care if it was Disney World." He shifted, making a pillow appear as he rolled them and laid across Lindsey's chest, fingers brushing over his skin.

"Tell me every desire you have ever had. Every dream you wished you could have made reality. That can be our plan. Because I want you to have fun. To do things you never thought you would ever get to.."

"Disney?" Lindsey asked, scoffing a little at first but then slowly thinking over the words Gabriel told him. He had, honestly, never been to Disneyland. As a child, he had wanted to go, it was true.

"I'm a bit too old for the Mouse, don't you think?" Lindsey asked with a smile that was tinged with a little sadness. What he meant by the question was he was too old for his childhood dreams. They won't feel the same anymore, they had lost their magic.

"Anyway, that all works better when you don't already know Disney has retained Wolfram and Hart council for their legal matters."

"You are never to old to be a kid again, Lindsey. I have met men close to the end of their lives whose eyes lit up at the prospect of doing something fun. Something for the young at heart. Live a little....don't let Wolfram & Hart have everything. Take something for yourself or they will always own you." He was suddenly serious as he stared into Lindsey's eyes.

"You really don't think that if you wanted to go I couldn't hide you from them? I can alter time and reality, bend it a thousand ways. I can make you relive the same day over and over and over a thousand times. You will always be safe with me, no matter where you are. I will protect you." He leaned in, kissing him softer than he had before.

"And anyways, I mentioned Disney because...well every kid wants to go there at some point or another. It just popped into my head." He chuckled, bending his head to kiss Lindsey's chest as well. "We could go anywhere in the world that you have ever dreamed of. See anything."

Unable to meet the angel's earnest staring, Lindsey was the first to turn away. It was just at the moment when Gabriel leaned in to kiss him with a touch that was little more than a butterfly's caress. It made Lindsey look back again, but by then the archangel was tucked against his chest.

"I've never been to Disney," he admitted quietly the childhood dream that he never got to fulfill. And the magic had been ruined when he learned of the things that went behind the scenes in a large corporation like that. Despite what Gabriel said, he wasn't sure if it could ever be brought back for him.

"Let's just stay here." It was too late... Wolfram and Hart already has his everything, starting with his soul.

He tucked his head under Lindsey's chin, the sadness that Lindsey felt seeping into him as well. "They don't have everything, Lindsey." He whispered softly, fingers tracing over his skin slowly. "If they did you wouldn't be here right now...with me. You would be back in your apartment doing whatever work it is they want you to do. You never would have called for me." He sighed softly, closing his eyes.

"As long as I can help it they will never have all of you and as soon as I get the chance...they won't have any of you." His voice had gotten serious, he fully meant what he was saying.

The light patterns drawn across his chest was soothing and Lindsey tried to concentrate on those instead of how little remained his in his life. Gabriel was right, Wolfram and Hart didn't have all of him... and if Lindsey got his way, he will make a strike back with the help of an archangel.

Although there were still some difficulties about that that he had to work out, like his lack of memory of the archangel.

"But I won't remember this when I go back... I will be doing the work that they want me to do." He tried not to think of the case files that he had Gabriel bring that was waiting back in the bungalow.

"I've already fixed that." He stated softly, turning his head so his chin was resting on Lindsey's chest and he could look at him. "Made it so that you can remember everything. But they won't be able to get to the memories. Kind of...like a door that only you have the key to. And if they try picking the lock?" He smirked. "Well, they'll be in for a nasty little treat."

He leaned up, kissing him softly. "Just...don't worry about it. You'll be focused on work still, but you'll also be able to remember me. And all the fun we had." He smiled happily before snapping his fingers, a sucker appearing in his hand. He winked before popping it in his mouth. "Then you'll be able to think about all the fun we will have in the future."

That was easier than Lindsey thought and surprised him enough that he raised his brows even before Gabriel magicked a sucker into existence. Given how they were both still naked and given the recent thoughts the archangel planted, there should be a joke somewhere about sucking, but they were talking of more important things here.

"Which means... I can also think to you and you will be able to bring me back here?" It was very important to know that he could establish an easy connection.

But he was curious too. "What will they get if they tried probing my mind? They tried before... If you hadn't blocked off my memories, they could have read it all."

"I can bring you here or the apartment or any of my other little realities." He shrugged a shoulder, smiling softly. "Well, actually...I can hear you when you think about me too but generally I don't do anything because you aren't asking me."

He traced a pattern down around his belly button. "They will be able to read everything except any memories you have with me. Those will be off limits to everyone but you and me. If they try to probe there, to push past the wall I've put up it will give them one hell of a shock and a migraine to boot."

"That's not too subtle," Lindsey said with a slight frown of worry. "They would know something is up for sure."

But it was rather satisfying to imagine those mind readers getting a nasty headache for their nosiness.

Yet he was distracted by further thoughts by the digit circling his belly button. He wasn't ticklish, he wasn't, but he still twitched slightly. He gave the hand a light tap. "Stop that."

"Well, I could just make it so they can't see any of it. I just thought you'd find it justifying that they get a nice little zap for their efforts." He chuckled softly, shrugging a shoulder. "You know you like the idea. Plus I've...well maybe I've done some research of my own. Those things can read anyone. Well, not me. Or any other angel for that matter. If they came across that and felt the power behind it...."

He trailed off for a moment, raising an eyebrow. "They would tell Wolfram & Hart you have someone very powerful protecting you. Someone that could keep even them out. Wolfram & Hart would know they would have to have a death wish to mess with you. To put you in danger."

"But I can make it subtle if you wish." He laughed when his hand is tapped, doing it again. "Why? I like it." He moved his hand to Lindsey's hip, fingertips still teasing over his skin.

Lindsey couldn't stop himself from smirking a bit at the thought of the justice. "Oh, don't be mistaken, I'd love to see those bastards get what's coming to them." He said it with certain satisfaction, but he slowly shook his head.

"But I want their attention away from me, not constantly trying to deal against me. Give them a warning and they won't stop, but try to dig around it. I would."

He wriggled a bit when Gabriel continued his teasing, then huffed and gave the hand another playful slap. "Didn't you have enough? You just had mind numbing sex."

"Alright I'll work up something else. A way for you to have your memories and keep their suspicions at bay." He spoke softly, nodding and bending his head to lightly kiss his shoulder. He stretched, yawning and laying his head down.

"Hope you like pizza for dinner. I'm craving something greasy and entirely too unhealthy." He chuckled, batting at Lindsey's hand lightly before continuing his delicious teasing along his side. "I did have mind numbing sex. That doesn't mean I can play with you."

"Pizza?" There was a strange note to Lindsey's voice when he asked that, like nostalgia mixed with surprised and crossover with guilty pleasure. "I haven't had pizza in a while." Not the greasy, cheap sort anyway. Those were the ones that he grew up on and was staple food for his student days.

"You can play," Lindsey drawled, some of his southern accent slipping through now that he was relaxed and just relaxing. "But you're also being a horrible tease."

"Well, thats what were having then. What kind do you like best?" He nosed against the side of his neck, inhaling deeply and smiling. He was definitely enjoying all of this. He just hoped that Lindsey was enjoying himself just as much.

"Oh I am? Just because I like touching you?" He teased, fingers fluttering over his ribs briefly before moving back down to his hips.

Lindsey wiggled as those fingers made feather light touches down his side. He really wasn't ticklish but they itched.

"You are," he confirmed, "and precisely. Roaming your hands all over me is teasing behavior."

Trying to shrink away so he could concentrate on pizza toppings, he gave Gabriel a mock glare and another slap on the wrist before he settled down to list some. "Pepperoni... cheese, ground beef... bacon." He smiled a bit and explained. "I couldn't afford much... had to get my proteins somewhere."

He finally stopped, choosing to rest his hand over Lindsey's hip. "Ok ok I'll stop!" He smiled brightly, pushing himself up so he could lean over Lindsey, sucker poking out of his mouth. "Anyone ever tell you that you have an amazing smile? And that you should do it more often?"

He pulled the sucker from his mouth with a pop, bending down to kiss him softly. He knew his lips tasted like strawberries because of the sucker. "We'll have tons of pizza...well...enough to get us both stuffed."

Of course, the sure way to get someone to stop doing something was to point it out to them. Lindsey, suddenly self conscious, stopped his smile to frown at Gabriel.

The downward turn of lips was quickly erased by that sweet tasting kiss though. "Mmmm. Tastes like I'm kissing a strawberry," Lindsey chuckled and kissed Gabriel again for another taste. Unlike the archangel, he didn't have a sweet tooth and it had been a while since he had candy.

"How many pizzas can you eat?" He chuckled and kissed him again. Turns out having a mouth tasting like candy got Gabriel more kisses.

"No frowning or I'll start teasing again." He playfully pinched his hip, not hard enough to actually hurt. He licked across his lips teasingly, groaning.

"Strawberry sucker. Makes me taste good." He smiled before he started kissing him back, enjoying the fact that Lindsey seemed to like kissing him when he tasted sweet. He cupped his face, nipping his lower lip gently.

"Mmm last I tried I went through 2 or 3 pizzas."

"Are those personal pizzas?" Lindsey teased back although his frown was suitably removed. He did give Gabriel a retaliating poke in the ribs for the light pinch though. He was a very mature lawyer.

"I prefer cherry." Yet despite that, he started licking back at Gabriel's lips to get any remnants of fruity sugar off. He was told to enjoy himself, and both of them seemed to like how he just lazed around like this.

"No. They were large pepperoni with extra cheese. Deep dish of course." He squirmed at the poke to his ribs, eyes widening slightly. "Don't you poke me!" Of course, he wasn't about to say that he was actually ticklish.

"Cherry, hmm? Definitely gonna have to remember that for later..." He groaned then, catching his lips in a deep kiss. His tongue tangled with Lindsey's and his fingers slid into the man's hair, holding him close.

Lindsey wasn't actually trying to kiss, he had been perfectly content just licking up traces of strawberry when he found his lips captured and his tongue held ransom under Gabriel's own. He moaned, deepening the kiss with a determination to have his ransomed tongue turn the tide on its captor.

Whether the battle panned out or not, by the time he puled back, he was panting and breathless.

"Cherry always struck me as more passionate," he sighed and ducked his head back onto Gabriel's chest.

Naturally, he couldn't resist poking Gabriel again lightly.

He would be lying if he'd said the kiss hadn't effectively turned him on again, but he was content to just lie there and ignore his body for the time being. He closed his eyes, fingers brushing through Lindsey's hair slowly.

"I can see that. Though let me tell you, lying in bed with a lover feeding them chocolate dipped strawberries and whipped cream? Pretty damn sexy if you ask me." Of course, that had happened a LONG time ago. A lifetime before Lindsey had even been born. He sighed and kissed the top of his head.

"Stoooop!" He laughed, swatting at Lindsey's hand playfully. "Gonna tie you up if you keep that up." He shifted slightly, looking at him. "Half tempted to zap us up to the bungaloo."

"Or messy," Lindsey retorted with a practical assessment of such a situation. He also never really imagined that ever happening with him although with how he looked towards Gabriel, he was slowly realizing that it might.

His grin when he found out that the archangel was, of all things, ticklish, was one of absolute evil delight. "Is that so?" he smirked and ran his fingers over Gabriel purposefully to tickle him.

Let's see if the angel could still zap anything now.

"Messy can be fun. Especially if you get to use your tongue to clean up." He kissed his jaw softly. He was about to say something else when suddenly Lindsey was tickling him and he yelped, squirming against him before flinging himself away and onto his back.

He panted, hands up to try and grab Lindsey if he tried again. "Knock it off!" He laughed, eyes sparkling with mirth. "Thats not fair!"
