Fall Back {A Sabriel Fanfic}

Chapter 35

Gabe walks into Sam's dorm, cocking an eyebrow at the two younger college students. Neither of the men look up when the door closes.

"Hey Kevin," he says first to see if his boyfriend even takes notice. "Hey Gabe," Kevin responds blankly, dragging out the 'y' while flipping the page in his text book.

"Say, Sam," Gabe plops down on the edge of the bed, still trying to break Sam's concentration, "You're not busy are you?" The teen finally averts his eyes from his Economic notes that he has in his book, on paper, and on his laptop. He uses only his eyes, his pencil eraser propping up his chin.

"Awe, come on," Gabe tips his head back, "I just got out of class and I'm bored."

"Gabe," Sam pushes his index finger and thumb together to show how little patients he has at the moment. He breathes heavily through his nose before taking a deep breath, "I really have to study for this test tomorrow, okay?"

Gabriel sighs but gets off the bed and tosses his jacket onto a chair. "What if I die from the lack of attention?"

Sam groans with a small eye role, trying hard to stay focused, "Die quietly then." He turns to give his boyfriend the 'really?' look. "Thanks babe," Gabe says back sarcastically. "You're welcome," Sam responds almost a minute later, clicking on another tab he was reading off from.

"How about," Gabe takes the pencil from Sam's hand, gaining his attention instantly, "I quiz you and every time you get an answer right, I'll give you whatever you want."

"Guys, still here," Kevin mumbles from across the room.

"Seriously, babe. I can't fool around or anything else, I need to study."

"Alright, well I have work and then class, and you have night class tomorrow..see you Thursday?" Gabe asks, he bites his lip and looks at his boot while tapping the heel on the floor.

Sam sighs and lifts up his book, opening his arms, "Promise you'll be quiet?"

"Whatever you say," he smiles and situates himself between Sam's legs, the book being placed on him. "I hope you wanna learn in depth supply and demand," Sam grins, resting his head on Gabes shoulder as he scrolls through an article. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Uhh," Sam groans in frustration, pasing his room. He had fallen asleep while studying and now he just can't seem to remember the simple stuff. "How did I forget what the equilibrium price is?"

"Oh, come on, that's an easy one. It's where supply and demand meet to where the consumers will purchase the most and the seller will be making the highest profit," Gabe shrugs back, his legs crossed in Sam's bed while watching his boyfriend stress about the test.

Sam stops moving with a small smirk, "Did you," he points at the mess on his bed, "Did you read my notes?"

"I just liked your handwriting," Gabe grins back. "And look," Gabriel gets off the bed, walking over to Sam, "If I can remember that then you'll have no problem. You'll ace it."

Sam sighs and wraps his arms around Gabes back, "I love you."

"Love ya too, Samster."

"You have to go to work now, don't you?" Sam questions. "I do. You have Econ in an hour and your science tonight right?"

"Right."

"I'll see you tomorrow then," Gabe leans up and gives Sam a short kiss, which turns into a few long ones.

"Sammich!" Gabe announces loudly as he rounds the counter and throws himself into the taller man. Sam softly chuckles and hugs Gabriel back.

"You're lucky I'm the manager other wise you'd probably be fired," Tammy grins wiping down the counter top. "But it's Sam," Gabe sticks out his bottom lip and burrows himself in the teen who smiles in response. "You're also lucky you two are so damn cute."

"So what are you doing here?" Gabe turns back to Sam, still tightly pulled against his chest. "I stopped by to get a coffee before Anatomy."

"You mean you didn't miss me so much that you just had to come and see me?"

"Well, that too," Sam smiles and gently kisses Gabe. They pull apart and before anyone can say another word, a timer goes off. Sam sighs and slips the phone from his pocket, turning off the alarm. "Alight, I have to go." Gabe frowns while taking the black coffee from Tammy and passing it to his boyfriend. "Thanks. Love you," the teen says quickly before pecking the shorter male and hurrying to his class.
