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.

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.

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?

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.

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?"

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?"

Lindsey emerged from the bedroom wearing a blue dress shirt and grey dress pants. He knew that he could wear the denim pants that Gabriel brought too, but for a dinner like that he thought it was better to have at least some respect for it.

"I'm ravished," he answered, surprised that it was the truth despite the late hour. "I worked through lunch today. What are we having?"

It was strangely relaxing although he didn't know why. Gabriel's behavior was still like nothing he expected but the way Gabriel was treating him, it didn't feel like last time at all.

Lindsey moved himself up between the archangel's legs, face turning a little pink at the compliment and the position he found himself. The hands around his waist pulled him forward until he was nearly in the archangel's lap.

"Why do I feel like you only care about the dessert?" Lindsey smirked, recalling Gabriel's sweet tooth from last time.

His smile came easier when he decided, oh, why not, and sat down on Gabriel's thigh. "Oh, they were very frustrated. And it worked, they couldn't get anything useful at all. They have no idea what happened and all tests showed my hand was normal."

The smile faded a bit when his eyes started searching the angel. "You kept your word."

Lindsey reached out to take Gabriel's hand, concerned that his patron was pulling away. This was the best opportunity he had... ever and he wasn't going to let it go so easily.

"No, what you did with my memories was right. It was the only way to get past the mindreaders and I would rather not remember than have them catch what we talked about here."

He wasn't sure if Gabriel changed anything else and it did disturb him slightly, made him uncomfortable that this was such a powerful being that he was messing around with, but it wasn't something he couldn't deal with. Subterfuge, he had that.

"So, you're saying you can't lie? What about that whole Loki business?"

"So you're friends with liars and gods but you're not a liar yourself?" Lindsey shouldn't find that as amusing as he really did.

"You work off a strange code of honor or something?" he asked, looking down at their laced hand and tightening the hold slightly. He smiled too from the sense of belonging that he felt from the angel.

His glance went back to the prepared dinner table and his stomach growled loudly. He really was hungry from having missed nearly two meals in the day.

The story sounded so familiar that Lindsey had stiffened in the angel's lap. It was better than wincing though, he refused to let that sort of weakness come out.

Better for them that the talk had gone back around to dinner and he got up from where he was perched on the archangel's lap.

"Watch a movie?" The incredulous look he gave Gabriel stated his thought on that. "I need to be back in the office by 8 in the morning." Eating dinner, perhaps a quick fuck, that was about all the time Lindsey suppose he had before he needed to pass out.

"Really?" That was news to him. He had heard that time in Hell worked differently than on Earth, but apparently angel dimensions worked differently too. "So, as long as I'm here, I can be on vacation for a week and I still won't miss work?"

Distracted, Lindsey allowed himself to be guided to a chair and sat down while in contemplation. That could be useful. Very useful, in fact.

He looked up at Gabriel again, a large smile on his features. "So I can have more time to know you better."

An open permission to ask questions was a valuable thing and Lindsey stored that away to the back of his mind. For the moment, he leaned back in his chair and enjoyed the wonderful steak dinner that he found ready for him.

"I suppose I won't remember anything of my time here when I return back?" He cut into his steak and held back a moan at how absolutely delicious it was. "This is good," he couldn't help saying as he eagerly cut into a another piece.

"Might be for the best though. It's too dangerous otherwise. Wolfram and Hart suspects me already."

Surprised by the question, Lindsey shook his head. "No, not the last few days. I've been too busy prepping for my current case and hadn't gotten a chance to do more than meet my client." He pulled a face just as he poked at the broccoli as well. "At least he hadn't killed my client yet." It annoyed him to no end when Angel did that the first time, in their meeting room too.

"He's been quiet the last few days, or causing trouble elsewhere. I know Wolfram and Hart keeps tabs on him at all times, I don't."

Looking up suddenly, Lindsey gave Gabriel a crossed look. "Can we not talk about him?"
