you're my wonderwall

"I'm not, " Gabe answered, it felt weird to not be tired. He didn't feel like he needed half as much sleep now that he was an angel, which was nice in many ways as he could spend the night flying if he wished, "but you should probably get to bed, I can try and fit myself into it with you. " He had no idea how that would work, it had already been squashed enough before but now he had these gigantic feathered wings to deal with.

"I'm sorry too. " Gabe returned, letting his finger tips brush against the boy's cheekbones. He could feel the heat radiating from William's skin, and it was pleasant . It reminded him the boy was alive and healthy, at least physically. "We both made a lot of mistakes, but I think we can move on? " Gabe pressed a soft kiss to the boy's lips, "I hope so at least. " He just wanted all of this to be in the past.

Bill stroking his wings was definitely something Gabriel could get used to. It was comforting and it felt good . "I love you too, more than anyone or anything in the whole world. "

Gabe would most likely end up doing just that, even if he didn't have William over every night, a single bed would still be far too small for Gabe now with his wings. He'd very much have liked to buy a queen or even king size bed but he doubted he'd be able to afford one and in reality his dorm was simply just not big enough for one.

"Well let's have our coffee first, then we can go to bed. " Though that mightn't have been a very clever idea, caffeine tended to wake one up not help them to fall asleep. It didn't really matter, they'd probably end up cuddling in bed regardless of whether they were tired or not.

Gabe took a sip out of the mug, looking on with a guilty expression as Bill cleaned up the mess he had caused. He hoped the boy wouldn't get in trouble for his window breaking, though if he did Gabe would go own up to it. He had been very lucky not to get seriously hurt, the few cuts he had were already pulling themselves back together at a pretty fast rate and the larger wound on his shoulder had stopped bleeding. "I swear I tried my best, these wings are fucking hard to get used to man. "

"Oh!" Gabe's eyes turned upwards trying to see above his own head. It didn't really work but he knew what had happened. "It doesn't stay around all the time...it only hangs around when it's needed. " He shrugged, "It's cool though isn't it?" He had to admit that he found the whole wings and halo thing a huge perk, he thought the wings made him look hot .

"Do you want any more of this? " Gabe held out the mug of coffee, there wasn't much left in it at all but he'd feel rude downing the ends without at least offering the younger boy some. His eyes followed his boyfriend around the room, worried that there might still be some bits of glass that were blending in with the floor. Luckily though William made it to the bed unharmed.

"What's new? "Gabe teased, flashing a grin at Bill. It wasn't exactly a rare occurrence that the boy would steal his clothes, it was one of the reasons his closet looked emptier than ever before. He didn't mind though, they looked cute on Bill as they were all just slightly oversized.

"Yeah!" Gabe nodded, "maybe I could take you with me sometime....when I get better at it....well only if you wanted to. I wouldn't want to scare you of course! " He remembered how distraught the boy had been after that time with Michael. However Michael was probably rough with him, Gabe would be far more cautious.

The corners of Gabe's mouth twitched into a smile at the compliment. "Don't I? " He agreed, "it's good because I like the way you look very much too. "

Once he received the go ahead Gabe was more than happy to down the contents of the mug. It was a good strong black coffee, William had made it just the way he liked it - even though he never remembered mentioning how he took his coffee to the boy. It was things like that that showed what love was about, the little things that you pick up on from spending time with a person.

"You don't even have to ask, querido." Gabe assured the boy. He laughed as colour rose to Bill's cheeks. " Sure you didn't. Though if you had meant it that way...well let's say I wouldn't exactly have any arguments against it. " He raised an eyebrow at the boy.

Gabe could tell from Bill's demeanour that flying was a no-go area. A shame, he thought, perhaps it was for the best though. Flying was a nice way to clear your head and it was probably best done alone. It wouldn't feel as freeing if you had someone else with you, would it?

"Don't worry I'm not going to force you to fly." Gabe promised. He'd keep his word too, he wasn't the sort that broke their promises. Not unless they had extremely good reason to anyway.

"I missed you too, so badly. " Gabe admitted, looking down at his hands. His knuckles were raw and red from the crash. " I know..I know...at least I'm back now though, miel. And I'm not going away again."

Gabe didn't really feel like there was any need for William to thank him, but he appreciated the gesture nonetheless. He didn't imagine he'd sleep tonight, but he sure hoped William would. The boy looked completely drained, there were dark circles and bags under his eyes, and even his voice sounded tired. Poor Bill...he mustn't have slept since I died.

Taking William's hand, Gabe tried to climb into the bed, perhaps if he got his body on it he could let his wings trail behind him, free in mid air. Then he could try and wrap them around the boy, he wanted to hold him close. It mightn't have been the most comfortable position for the older man but he was content because he was cuddled up with Bill.

"I love you a lot, " Gabe pressed a kiss to the top of William's head. "And I think you should sleep now. We have lots of time to do everything we want tomorrow. "
