The Other Side (Overwatch story/SMUT)

Part 11 - Falling Away From Me: 1/3

Mood: Demons - Imagine Dragons 

Gabriel awoke from the sunlight shining in through one of the windows.

He yawned and stretched while Jack was still sound asleep on his chest.

To Gabriel's surprise, Jack didn't wake up from his movements and once his vision cleared he looked down at him.

He could see the red stripes peaking through from underneath Jack's jacket bearing witness to the wounds Gabriel had inflicted on him last night.

His stomach started turning as he gingerly lifted the jacket up and saw Jack's torn and bloodstained shirt.

"Dear God...," he whispered to himself.

He put a hand on Jack's cheek and found that it was cold to the touch.

Gabriel started to get agitated.

He quickly undid himself from underneath Jack and jumped to his feet. Jack fell off him but even then he didn't open his eyes.

Gabriel fell down to his knees next to him and started shaking him and softly slapping his cheek to wake him up.

He grabbed Jack's collar with both hands.

"Jack!? Jack, wake up!"

"Huh..?"

Confused, Jack opened his eyes and tried to focus. He was met by a distraught Gabriel staring at him.

"Oh, thank God...," Gabriel said relieved and broke down.

Still holding onto Jack's jacket he put his head on his lover's chest with tears streaming down his face.

"Wha... what's going on?" Jack said in a growly voice while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

He blinked and rubbed at them a few more times before he looked down at Gabriel who was sobbing on his chest.

"Hey there, big guy...," he said with a chuckle and put a hand on Gabriel's back and gently patted it. "What's the matter? Don't be sad, it's all right..."

"No!" Gabriel cried out and looked up at him. "It's not all right!"

He got up from Jack and pulled him up with him.

With fast and determined steps he led him to the bathroom and took the jacket off of him.

"Easy now!" Jack said. "I've just woken up, what are you doing?"

With shaking hands Gabriel ripped off what was left of Jack's shirt and held it under the tap. He drenched it in water and then started to frantically try to clean Jack's back.

"It's not all right...," he mumbled.

As the blood covering Jack's back came off, the cuts became more visible.

Jack grimaced in pain as the wet fabric touched his wounds.

"Hey..." he said after letting Gabriel go at it for a little while. "Hey... Hey! Gabe, Gabe stop. Stop!"

He turned around and grabbed Gabriel's hand.

"Listen to me! Gabriel! Calm down!"

Gabriel was desperately holding onto Jack's shirt and his eyes were red and swollen. His entire body was shaking.

"Gabriel?" Jack said confused. "Did you have a nightmare or what the hell is going on with you?"

He turned his head to try and look down on his back.

"They are just scratches," he calmly said and turned his eyes back to Gabriel. "Don't worry."

Gabriel looked down at the blood drenched remnants of a shirt in his hand.
