Rim of the World (Gabriel X Reader) *discontinued*

Chapter 15

*These are the pyjamas that you find and change into later on.*

"I'm gonna go get changed," I say to everyone and I find my way to the bathroom.

As I remove my top, I see the blood on my arm has leaked through the bit of t shirt Gabriel gave me before. I sigh while I untie it. I look around the bathroom to see if I can find a flannel to clean out the wound with. Once I've found one, I rinse the flannel and gently dab on it. I wince slightly. Suddenly, the bathroom door swings open and I look to see Gabriel there, standing with a surprised look on his face. Here I am, standing in just my jeans and bra.

"I'm so sorry!" He quickly shuts the door and leaves. Shit. I quickly get fully changed and leave the bathroom.

"Yo, did Gabriel walk in on Y/N changing," Dariush laughs, leaving us both speechless and stuttering.

"Sorry," Gabriel mumbles again.

"It's okay," I giggle. I turn around and see that there is only 2 beds. Both single beds.

"Yeah, we have ourselves a little situation," Dariush claps, "Y/N, could I possibly sleep with you?"

I back away, "I... uh,"

"Dariush, lay it off, man!" Gabriel says to Dariush, "Well one of us is gonna have to sleep on the couch downstairs... because there's clearly not enough room. I think the girls should sleep together because that's the only reasonable thing to-"

"Alex, you can sleep in with me," Zehn Zehn says. What- how could she do this to me. This now leaves me with either Gabriel or Dariush. Everyone looks at Zehn Zehn in shock. Alex starts stuttering and eventually gets into the bed with Zehn Zehn.

"Well I have sleep apnea, so I really think I should get the bed," Dariush states.

"Dude, how old are you?" Gabriel laughs.

"It's not to do with age, Gabriel," he scoffs.

"You'll snore anyway, I really think you should be the one sleeping on the couch," Gabriel argues. Were they really fighting over me? Or did they both just want the bed?

"You know what? I'll just take the couch," I say, slightly annoyed.

"No!" They both shout.

"Well then you decide amongst yourselves," I smile, getting into the bed. I hear them both run into the bathroom and the door slams shut behind them. I look next to me, where Alex and Zehn Zehn are sleeping. That's when I see Zehn Zehn grabbing onto Alex's hand and moving it away from his rubix cube. Cute. I turn back around so I'm now facing the door, I curl up into a ball and close my eyes. That's when I feel one side of the bed being pushed down as someone gets in. I open my eyes, looking up at Gabriel, and I smile to myself.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," he whispers.

"It's okay. I wasn't asleep anyway," I whisper back. There is hardly enough room in the bed so at this point, Gabriel and I have been pushed very close together. Our feet touch from under the blanket and I quickly move my foot away.

"Your feet are freezing!" I whisper-shout. He let's out a slight laugh.

"How's your arm?"

I look down to my arm, "yeah, it's better than before I guess."

"Good, you should probably get some sleep now," he whispers gently.

I nod my head. We are both facing eachother and I can feel his warm breath on my face. He looks deep into my eyes. We both start leaning in, very closely. I turn my head slightly, feeling his hand move onto my waist. My heart starts beating so fast I'm afraid he can hear it. I move my hand onto his arm and our lips brush together. Eventually, colliding. I can't believe I'm kissing Gabriel. It's a slow and sweet kiss. His lips are soft and damp. Eventually, I pull away for air. Our noses touching. Butterflies form in my stomach and I'm left speechless. I turn over so I'm lying on my back. None of us say a word.

"Y/N?" I hear Gabriel whisper.

"Yeah?"

"I like you and you're really pretty and I dont know why I'm even saying this," he whispers so fast I can only just make out what he said.

I grin and lean over him, "Could you maybe say that again, but a bit slower this time?"

"I like you, Y/N," he grins back, saying it more clearly this time.

"I like you too."

I see his eyes light up. I smile then close my eyes. Drifting off into a light sleep.
