Had Me At First Fall [A Sabriel AU]

Texts

(A/N: great title, I know, but my brain isn't  working)

Two days pass and Azazel kept his  distance, but he and his three main goonies, Abadon, Zach and Uriel, kept shooting Sam and Gabe dirty looks, and Sam knew it was only a matter of time before they tried something else.

It was another day, another long set of morning lessons, and Sam was finally heading for his last class before lunch,  History. Now don't get him wrong, Sam  loved learning, but he was finding the whole social aspect of school all the more tiring since  Azazel had started spreading rumors about him being gay.

And while these rumors actually had some truth behind them, he was not exactly wanting to come out to the public yet. Funnily enough, there was only one person Sam really wanted to hang out with, and that was Gabe.

The very person that not all that long ago,  Sam would never have thought of as someone that he looked forward to seeing. But here he was, walking to History  and smiling brightly as Gabe walked alongside him, chattering away enough that Sam could be quiet without it being  awkward. And of course, Sam did speak to Gabriel more than most people, he still preferred to stay quiet.

"And poor Cassie walked through the door first, so he got a face full of whipped cream instead of Balthy," Gabe concludes his story with a laugh, his golden whiskey eyes crinkling with laughter.

"How are you not 6 feet under by now?" Sam asks with a smile.

"Because I'm the Trickster with a capital T, that's why."

Sam rolls his eyes, "wow someone excels at modesty."

"Its Gabriel, what do you expect?" Charlie pops up beside Sam, causing him to nearly jump out his skin.

"Jesus Charles, some warning next time?" Other than Gabe, Charlie was the only other person that Sam was really comfortable around.

"Its Charlie, what do you expect," Gabe quips, a shit eating grin on his face.

"You two are idiots, remind me why we're friends again."

Charlie and Gabe exchange grins, "because we're bloody awesome."

Gabe reaches up, trying to use Sam as a armrest but due to Sam being a tall mooseman, and Gabe being..... Normal  height, it was impossible. So Gabe settled for the next best thing, he jumps onto Sam's back.

Sam yelps in shock at he sudden warm weight on his back, stumbling several steps forward. Charlie squeals, pulling her phone out and snapping a picture of the two before they could react.

"Charlie!" Sam glares at her, trying to keep his embarrassed blush at bay. Gabe has now locked his arms around Sam's neck, his legs tighter around Sam's waist. Now way for Sam to shake him off.

"Gabe can you please get off me."

"I don't feel like it, but I guess u could help you get off."

Sam's blush deepens as he chokes on air. "Gabe!" He exclaims as he coughs.
"I ship it," Charlie whispers.

The trio reach the history classroom with several minutes until the bell was due to go. Gabe finally hops off Sam's back, sliding into his now permanent seat beside  Sam's.

As Sam sits down in his seat and begins pulling his stuff out for the lesson, Charlie perches on Gabe's desk as they start chatting about.... You guessed it, ships.

"You know what, we should continue this in the group chat, maybe the others can help educate you," Charlie's voice rises as she goes into her passionate, heated  tone she gets when talking about her favourite ships and OTPs.
