Reaper (Gabriel) x reader
(So I don't know about Los Muertos all that well but I'd love to be educated on the subject better. So I apologize if this isn't accurate)
"So, you wanna explain why you bought seven candle packs?" All movement stopped, time seemed to slow as Gabriel turned away from his large package. He stared in shock from under his mask as he saw (Y/N), the love of his life, standing by the doorway of the kitchen. "Mi amor! I didn't expect you to be back so early." (Y/N) only smiled as they crossed the room to their ghastly man, "I got off early." Gabe held an arm out to them, which (Y/N) gladly took and stood beside him as he opened the box. "Are these for Los Muertos?" He nodded as he unpacked the candles, "yes, mi sol, these are for Los Muertos." (Y/N) chuckled as they helped him unpack the candles, "you're pulling all the nicknames today, aren't you?" Grabbing one of (Y/N)'s old lighters, Gabe lit one of the scented candles the two had around the house then gestured for (Y/N) to follow him outside after setting the lighter down. "It's tomorrow right? So, how about you set up, and I'll buy family flower favorites?" Gabe removed his mask and kissed (Y/N)'s cheeks before nodding, "you know the procedure all too well. Yeah, go get the flowers, we'll bake their favorite foods tomorrow and get their favorite possessions." (Y/N) nodded and got moving towards town. Buying flowers was simple enough for (Y/N), marigolds were in season looking pretty as ever. Ingredients were obtained in the shopping process as well, then they returned home to Gabriel who was setting up in the garage. "Hey Gabe, I got the marigolds and what we'd need for food." Gabriel looked back to face his lovely (Y/N) and smiled seeing them with the grocery bags and many pots of marigolds. He came over and grabbed the pots, freeing their arms as he put the flowers in nicer, hand-painted pots. (Y/N) went inside to drop the groceries off on the counter then returned to their husband, seeing the finished product that procured from his hard work. "Wanna look through photo albums for a bit before dinner, Gabe?" Seeing the man nod was the only cue (Y/N) needed, and they brought him inside to the couch. Pulling a tote out, the married couple spent the evening looking through old memories.
"Do you think we bought too many candles?" (Y/N) laughed at the question and nodded, "yeah, ya bought too many candles, but's it's a good fit." Gabriel's arm wrapped around their waist and pulled them to his side as the two watched the flicker of the candles. "Do you think they're happy where they are?" (Y/N) asked as they looked up at Gabe, and he responded quietly as he kissed their head, "I do think they're happy, wherever they are." (Y/N) nodded, leaving it at that.
