somebody’s gotta do it.

“I don’t know,” He shrugs, arm tossed over the back of the couch, his fingertips brushing the ends of Shane’s hair. “Favorite color…?” Gabriel snickers a little, clearly trying to keep things somewhat light for the evening. He feels bad about their bonfire situation.

Gabriel stands with him, leading him to his living room with a hand on his lower back. A comfortable touch. Gentle. “Here… I figured the couch would do us well, no…?” The vampire hums, easing the bottle from Shane’s hand so he can place it on the coffee table.

ohhh yeah. that’ll happen. they think ya smell tasty. frankly, so do i. [ chuckles, reaching in his pocket. stops in his tracks, holding a beer out to shane. ] y’member what i said before, tho? no one’s gonna hurt ya, not even me. gabe likes ya too much to let that happen..

somewhere more comfortable…?” He asks, especially now that Shane is finished eating. Annoying as it sounds… he really wants Shane closer to him.

you working for a paper…? Or a publication? You very clearly have the talent… the enthusiasm. So… why not?”

Gabriel notices Shane’s slight unease, he can smell the nerves rolling off of him. It’s suffocating. “Is something the matter…?”

“I’d gladly teach you some things… if you’re interested. No pressure, though.” Gabriel smiles at Shane, very pleased to see that he’s enjoying his meal. “It’s been a while since I’ve made a full dinner… I’m glad to see you enjoying it, Rabbit.”

He follows his answer with a swallow of wine, narrowing his eyes at the young man. “What about you…? Do you cook?”

Gabriel furrows his brows, pulling out Shane’s chair for him. Ever the gentleman. “It would’ve been rude to get you drunk without feeding you first.” The vampire looks genuinely confused. It’s simple hospitality. “Sit… Eat.” He gently commands, taking his own seat.

Gabriel laughs, looking a little flustered at Shane’s compliment. He clears his throat, leading him to the dining table. Only one place was set, but that’s to be expected. Gabriel doesn’t eat. Not human food at least. “I hope my lack of eating doesn’t bring you discomfort.”
