He had kept a kind smile on the whole time and spoke happily. But as soon as he hung up the phone, he ran his fingers through his hair, slouching
Gabriel: What am I going to do, Az?
Azrael: Act as you normally do. It's worked on the fool so far
Gabriel: Don't call him that..
Azrael: I apologize, I didn't mean to insult your precious mortal
He crossed his arms with an eye roll and a sarcastic voice. Then he placed his hands on Gabriel's shoulders, a sympathetic look in his eyes
Azrael: He's not the first mortal you've fallen for. What's so different about him?
Gabriel: Many things, my friend..
He smiled, blushing a little. Azrael raised a brow and let go of Gabriel
Azrael: I told you not to swoon over him while I'm here. I may be keeping this secret for you, but that doesn't mean I have to be involved in your infatuation
Gabriel: It's more than just that! I-
Azrael: I don't care
He walked away from Gabriel, and he chuckled, following Azrael
Gabriel: Would you like to meet him?
Azrael: No
Just after that, Azrael left the room, and Gabriel shook his head while sitting down on a chair in the kitchen. The next day, he heard a knock at his door
Gabriel: Coming!
He called happily to whoever was knocking as he headed over. He opened the door to see Mugman
Gabriel: Mugman, my friend! Please, come in!
He welcomed in Mugman gladly. He watched as Mugs glanced around, a small smile on his face
Mugman: Uhm, it's nice here..
Gabriel: Thank you! I'm not here often to make a mess, so I suppose that's why!
He chuckled, and Mugman nodded. He took off his bag and sat down on the couch
Gabriel: If you don't mind me asking, were you able to translate my message?
Mugman: No, I.. lost it.
Gabriel: Oh, I see.. Well, no problem!
Mugman: You can tell me here, can't you?
Gabriel: It was just a simple message of hello for you to translate! Think of it as "homework", haha!
Mugman: Oh, okay..
He mumbled, crossing his arms and staring at the floor. Gabriel noticed he had bags under his eyes
Gabriel: You seem tired. Are you alright?
Mugman: Hm? Oh, uh, yeah.. I just worked a night shift..
Gabriel: Shouldn't you go home and get some rest?
Mugman: It's fine..
He shook his head with insistency in his voice. He opened a book of his, staring at the pages intensely
Gabriel: Mugman, you're..
Mugman: Hm?
Gabriel: Nothing! I-I apologize!
He nervously said, and Mugman shrugged before going back to the book. The angel sighed deeply while pretending to look at a book
Gabriel: *Does he even have any idea how handsome he is?*
He asked himself, glancing at Mugs for only a moment. His cheeks were flushed pink as Mugman began talking again
Mugman: I just wanted to say, um.. thanks for inviting me over.. you didn't have to..
Gabriel: Of course! We've met only a month ago! And yet, I'm completely in- um, interested in your.. uhh, you. That sounds weird..
Mugman: No, no, I get what you're trying to say!
When he giggled, that nearly made this archangel's heart stop. He stared at the mug before smiling as well
Gabriel: Would you like me to walk you home?
Mugman: Walk me.. home?
Gabriel: Of course! It'd be a little dangerous for you to be by yourself, wouldn't it?
Mugman: Um, okay! But what about heading back here by yourself?
Gabriel: I can handle myself!
Mugman: Really?
The sudden comment surprised Gabriel, and he looked down at Mugman. The mug panicked
Mugman: I-I didn't mean it like that! I'm really sorry!
Gabriel: It's okay! I know I look like your average snobby citizen, hah!
Mugman: Oh, but you're not! Not at all.. You're.. you're very kind
He smiled sweetly at Gabriel. Once again, his heart nearly stopped
Gabriel: Th-Thank you.. so are you..
Mugman: Thanks!
They awkwardly stared at the floor, nervous to say anything else. Then, Mugman placed his hand on Gabriel's arm, speaking to him
Mugman: Let's get to work now, okay?
Gabriel: Of course!
The mug pulled his hand away from Gabe and adjusted his hands on the book he was still holding. They read, wrote, and talked for a while after that.
End.
