ROMANCE ANYONE?

“He went out for a bit.” Dan replied then put the book down.

"Ah. Did he say where he was going?" Gabriel sat down, sighing.

“No, he just said he had to go do something.”

"I see." Gabriel shook his head a little. "Cause he left the house entirely."

“Ok…” Dan nodded softly.

Gabriel shrugged.
"I'm sure everything is fine."

“Yeah I assume so, he just said he had to go out and do something.” He nodded and smiled a bit.

Gabriel looked up at Dan, nodding.
"You're a lot bigger when your human," he noted. "Less cutesy too."

“Yeah well being a toy kinda made me small…” Dan nodded.

Gabriel chuckled a little.
"Of course."

Dan nodded smiling and watched him.

"I used to be tall," Gabriel said. "Taller than you."

Dan nodded, “if you weren’t so damaged you’d probably be able to be human again.”

Gabriel nodded.
"But Elliot fucked me up too much."

“Yeah… sorry about that.”

Gabriel shrugged.
"There's nothing we can do. You're just lucky Elliot didn't do anything."

Dan nodded “yeah…”

Gabriel stretched a bit, laying down.
"Arien was really well timed when he came to get you."

“Why do you say that?” He asked softly.

"Elliot wasn't just going to leave you in the box," Gabriel said. "He left me in there until he was ready to 'play,' as he put it."

Dan nodded, “yeah I guess, I hope to never see him again.”

Gabriel nodded.
"Me too. Thankfully, we probably never will. Elliot doesn't really leave his house."

“Yeah…” he sighed.

After a while, Arien came back.
"Hey sweetie," he said gently, kissing Dan's cheek.

Dan smiled at him and hugged him, “hey.”

Arien hugged back, then climbed onto the bed, his actions accidently causing Gabriel to get tangled up in the sheets. He sat next to Dan, back to cuddling.

Dan cuddled up with him and gave him a kiss.

Gabriel let out muffled cries for help, but Arien either didn't hear or didn't care as he kissed Dan back.

Dan smiled softly and snuggled with him.

Arien held Dan close and kissed his cheek. Gabriel managed to get his head free.
"Can I have a little help?" He snapped.
