His eyes slowly opened, and he stared at the now empty spot in front of him on the couch. Cuphead was gone
Mugman: Maybe he went to work..
He glanced over his shoulder to snicker at Gabriel. The angel was snoring, still fast asleep. He got up and checked his brother's room
Mugman: I guess he did go to work!
His hands were on his hips, and he shrugged unworriedly. He decided to make himself and Gabe some breakfast
Mugman: Gabe, wake up!
After he was shook gently, Gabriel's eyes snapped open suddenly, and he sat up, staring at Mugman wildly
Gabriel: Oh. Uhm, hi..
Mugman: Good morning!
Gabriel: Good morning..
Mugman: Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!
A light chuckle was heard as he gently set down a plate of food, the ceramic clinking softly against the coffee table
Gabriel: Is that for me?
He asked, noticing that Mugman was already holding a plate of his own. Mugs nodded and approached the couch to sit down
Mugman: Do you not like it?
Gabriel: No, no, it's okay!
Once the plate was picked up, Mugman shrugged and took a bite of his food. They talked and ate for a while
Gabriel: I have a feeling I should go now.
Mugman: Oh, okay!
Gabriel: I have angel duties to attend to, hah!
He stood up, straightening out his sleeves. Mugman smiled and took a sip from the straw in his head that contained water. Gabe stepped in front of the coffee table but remembered something
Gabriel: Oh, yes, and uhm.. Mugman?
Mugman: Yeah?
Gabriel: There is something I should mention..
Mugman: Okay!
Once he agreed, Gabriel turned back around to him and opened his mouth, but no words were heard. He remained silent but then smiled
Gabriel: Never mind! It's okay!
Mugman: Oh.. alright..
He tilted his head to the side, the water dripping out and running down the side. Gabriel nearly left but turned around again and hugged Mugs
Gabriel: I love you, Mugman. I'll tell you someday, okay? But now isn't the time
Mugman: I understand..
When he whispered back, Gabriel pulled away from the embrace and grabbed both of Mugs' hands, interlocking their fingers together
Gabriel: There are many things I wish to tell you, and I'm sorry I couldn't this morning. But I'm not ready.. I'm afraid of what you'll think, and if you'll stay with me afterward..
Mugman: I will! Of course I will!
Gabriel: My sweet mortal, you don't understand, at all. Trust me, you don't.
Mugman: What do you mean..?
Gabriel: You think you do, and you think nothing will change after I tell you what I want to. And you may be right. But, that doesn't change how afraid I am.. I love you so much, and I don't want to lose you. Ever. I'm not prepared for the day I will
Mugman: We won't lose each other!
Gabriel: It's happened to me too many times to not think the same will happen now..
Mugman: I love you, Gabe! I won't let go of you so easily!
Gabriel: Neither will I. But, there are some things that are out of our control that we must learn to live with, no matter how sudden or heartbreaking they are
He had let go of Mugman's right hand and caressed his delicate porcelain face. They both had tears in their eyes, but Gabriel's bloody red tears has surprised Mugman
Mugman: Your tears.. they're like Devil's..
Gabriel: Don't remind me.
The angel rolled his eyes, wiping away the crimson blood from his face
Mugman: You should go now. I'm sorry for keeping you here when you're supposed to go.. I understand you're busy and all, but..
He trailed off, staring at the floor. Gabriel still held his face, so he touched his hand gently, looking back up at the angel
Mugman: Maybe it's because we used to talk all day, and we don't anymore. I miss that. I miss you..
Without another word, Gabriel closed his eyes and kissed Mugman softly. He stood up and left, shutting the door
End.
