maevedarcy and 100fandoms prompt heart. 2 hours late for smallfandomfest, but hopefully that's okay! I had such writer's block for this one.
[...Table...]
Gabriel leads them through several cuts to get to an apartment that’s similar to the one they met him in, only tinier and less room to walk around in. But it was one his many safe houses he’s used that Mercury and the Fairborn Council wouldn’t know about, in a large enough city that three people coming and going from the apartment wouldn’t cause anyone to look suspiciously at them and as far as Gabriel could determine ages ago, no witches nearby. They still watch their surroundings when they leave it, and they don’t leave each other’s side for long periods of time. While they were fairly sure now that Soul was dead, no one besides maybe Mercury or Jessica would be looking for them, they still weren’t sure if the Fairburn Council had recovered enough from what happened to come after them again, but they didn’t want to take any chances.
Gabriel finds random places to get various ingredients he’d need to cook up the powders he could sell for money to keep them comfortable while Annalise makes their apartment more livable, with cleaner sheets and adding splashes of color in the apartment, and Nathan learns how to cook to feed them to various degrees of success. He could always do cheap and easy stuff thanks to his grandmother, but with time on his side now and Jessica not breathing down his neck with ready insults; he took his time with recipes to cook actual meals for them. And with help of Soul’s powers, he’s able to grow fresh ingredients, which reduces some of their expenses.
The bed they share, since none of them wanted to be alone at night, was only a queen just barely big enough for all three to fit. Not that it really mattered; they were almost always crashed on top of one another – holding each other during the night, through nightmares or for comfort or warmth since the heat in the apartment was spotty at best. But none of them minded how tight of the fit was, because at least they were there together, they had each other.
It’s there in that bed with Gabriel in the middle of them, that he admits something he didn’t think he’d ever say out loud again.
“Je vous aime. Toutes les deux.”
Nathan just grins at him, pleased to finally hear Gabriel admit it out loud. He already knew Gabriel loved them. It was why he’d come back to them, after all. But Nathan knew that this was hard for him admit out loud.
Annalise eyes widened and her lips parted in surprise. It wasn’t exactly a secret that Gabriel loved Nathan, she’d kinda expected it for awhile now but somehow, she never quite expected him to admit to loving her. She wished it of course, once she got over her jealousy of what he and Nathan shared, and becoming attached to the older Blood Witch. She knew he’d also grown attached to her… but love?
“Did I finally make you speechless, princess?” Gabriel asked with a playful smirk.
Her eyes narrowed, even as a grin spread across her lips. “You wish.”
“Only sometimes,” Gabriel admitted softly before pulling her in closer to kiss her, blocking any retort she might have said in response except for the groan she let out as they kissed.
Nathan laughs in amusement and brushes his lips against Gabriel’s neck since his lips were occupied and moved his hand to stroke Annalise’s hand on top of Gabriel’s heart.
They were together in each other’s arms, loved each other, and they were safe.
THE END.
“Je vous aime. Toutes les deux.” - I love you. Both.
