CHAPTER ONE {>~<}
Archangel meets Moose
Gabriel struggles to get thedoor to his new apartment open, clutching a box of uh, "adult comics" against his chest with his left hand while the right maneuver the key inside the lock. He's also balancing a cellphone between his right ear and right shoulder.
"Yes, Cas, I'm at the apartment now." Gabriel calls to his brother, the reason he's on the phone while struggling to multitask. "No, I don't just have junk food." Gabriel grumbles, grunting with effort. "I am not lying! I'm older than you, show big bro some respect-OH COME ON!" Gabriel cuts off his scolding into a frustrated shout as he drops the keys. The golden brown haired man huffs and goes to put his box down only to have a large hand fill his vision. His apartment key being held out to him.
"Need some help?" An amused male voice asks and Gabriel rolls his whiskey colored eyes.
"No, I'm a human octopus so I obviously can manage-I'm not being rude Cas! I'm being my usual charismatic self." Gabriel is quick to defend himself to his stick-up-the-ass brother. Gabriel sighs and places the box down, holding his phone correctly in his hand where it's meant to be. "Can I call you back when I'm settled? Thanks. Yeah, yeah. Bye!" Gabriel hangs up and pockets the device moving to look at who grabbed his keys... or look up at who grabbed his keys.
The man was offensively tall with long dark chocolate locks cascading to the base of his neck and Gabriel notices that his eyes look light green one minute and dark brown the next. The man is broad shouldered and is very muscular, his layers of clothing not able to hide that fact.
"Jesus..." Gabriel whispers, staring at the man with comically wide eyes and mouth slightly agape. The man tilts his head, smiling amusedly and Gabriel shuts his mouth, forcing a smile of his own.
"So, do you need help?" The man says slowly after a few minutes of just staring. Gabriel blinks, one two three, and furrows his brows.
Gabriel.exe has stopped working.
"What?" Gabriel asks and the man chuckles, smiling down at Gabriel with pearly whites.
"With the box?" The man offers, jutting his chin in the direction of the box Gabriel put on the floor of the apartment complex's hallway. Gabriel blinks rapidly again, looking from the box to the man's well-defined jaw line that he finds himself wanting to run his mouth along. Gabriel swallows, moistening his lips.
"Uh, no, I-I got it." And did the all mighty and flirtatious Gabriel just stutter? Gabriel frowns.
