|| Here’s something absolutely NO ONE asked for, but..Gabe in his hero outfit?  With and without wings because..why not?  He’s basically a combat medic and,,yeah,,the wings allow him to zoom around a lil faster! yes they were inspired by Mercy, fight me The straps are there to both support him and to hold all the little pouches in place. They contain mostly medical tools that one would need in a battle.  The blindfold is there to prevent him from accidentally using his quirk unless it is absolutely needed.

|| As many of you might have noticed, I’m taking a break from most things at the moment. I will still accept commissions if someone wants any, but for the most part I’m trying to rest when it comes to my blogs.  I know this is a sensitive subject, but the situation is very real. The thing is, I’m on my way to the pandemic hospital right now, so that’s fun.  I could honestly use some support, haha-.  ~ Riri

With a gentle hum, Gabriel made his way down the hall, only to reach up to tap Eike on their shoulder. " Do you have a minute?", the blond asked, offering them his usual gentle smile, before putting his hands behind his back in a rather relaxed manner. [ ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar ]

Eike turned around at the tap, tilting their head slightly. They blinked down at the blonde’s question before nodding.

“Oh, of course! Is there something you need?” They asked, a soft smile forming on their face.

[ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar-arch]

 Trying to calm his heart, the blond drew a deep, shaky breath. “ I ah..I know- I just..need a minute..”, Gabriel whispered, wincing a little from the touch. The more time passed, the more..nervous the boy seemed to get, yet the dark closet seemed to calm him a little bit. But would it be enough?  Slowly but surely, he moved his hands towards Eike, carefully wrapping his arms around them, just to bury his face against their chest with a shudder.  Shaking, the blond gave his partner a little squeeze, simply holding them close. Feeling their body heat. Listening to their heart. Focusing on it. T r y i n g to calm down.   After a while, the boy finally pulled back, still holding onto them, just to remain as close as possible.  “ I’m sorry I--just needed a..moment with you. Is that bad..? “, the boy whispered, moving his hand up by feeling the other with his fingertips, ultimately caressing their cheek with a shaky hand.  “ Can we just..stay here for a while? Like this..?“

 His eyes seemed to light up the moment they turned around to look at him.  It was a hard feeling to describe, but he was just so..happy? In a way, the blond felt like a puppy, that’s how excited he was.  “ I ah–well..could you come with me? We need to..talk.”, Gabriel finally managed to stutter out, seeming a little..nervous in a way. He was shifting his weight from side to side and fidgeting a little. 

[ask-hetaaca-2pkugelmugel]

Just seeing him brighten up when they turned around filled Eike with a soft, fuzzy feeling. Oh, how wonderful he was. Although they were a bit curious on what Gabriel had to say. Turning to face him fully, let nodded once again.

“Talk…? Ah, alright! Where too then…?” They asked, glancing about. He seemed rather nervous, they wondered faintly if it was bad or not.

[ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar-arch]

 Flinching a little, Gabriel nodded, before carefully taking their hand to lead the tall dork down the hall. He made sure not to go too fast, it would have bee..rude after all.  “ I promise it’s nothing bad-!”, the blond chuckled, glancing over towards them over his shoulder.  After a while, Gabriel slowed down, eventually stopping in front of a door. He looked left and right, making sure no one would see them, before fishing out a small key from his pocket.  “ This is going to be our secret, yeah?”, he whispered, giving Eike a quick wink, finally letting go of their hand for a bit just to open the dimly lit..rather small room.  A broom closet.  Gabriel gave the hallway one more glance, before stepping in and quickly tugging Eike in with him, closing the door behind them. It was..dark, to say at least. And rather crowded..it was not made for two people after all..or to be used with the door closed.   With his breathing slightly heavy from the walk there, Gabriel let out a sigh, as he looked up towards Eike..or rather..where he thought their face would be.

Descending to the masquerade..

Seeming rather nervous, Gabriel shifted his weight from one foot to another, as he anxiously waited for his partner now that the  masquerade was about to begin. It was time to party, huh.. He wasn’t really a ‘party guy’ so to speak, it was natural to feel nervous, wasn’t it? Especially since he had an actual date! Speak of the devil, the blond thought as he took a deep breath, slowly approaching his date for the night.

“ May I have the first dance, Eike?”, he finally asked, bowing down to his partner rather elegantly, before slowly holding out his gloved hand to them, all while holding a gentle smile on his lips. Gosh, he was already getting flustered..good thing his mask covered most of it..or so he hoped. - - - - - || @ask-hetaaca-2pkugelmugel​

[ask-hetaaca-2pkugelmugel]

Eike had truly wanted to get to the event earlier, but with a rowdy younger sibling who kept complaining on how their ‘coat was off’ and 'bowtie was disastrous’, you got what you got. That didn’t mean they were happy about that though. Honestly, it made them a lot more nervous that they would be late. Good thing they made it on time.

They had their hands folded together, walking into the room and glancing about. Hopefully they would be able to spot Gabriel, but this was a masquerade event. They could probably spot-

Ah.

Oh.

Their face flushed, taking in their date’s attire. It went well together greatly. If they were being honest, he was rather breathtaking. Giving him a small, soft smile, Eike returned the bow.

“Of course,” they breathed, taking the other’s hand. They couldn’t help themsleves from the giddy, joyful, warm feeling welling up in their chest as they looked over him. They glanced back up at Gabriel, a glint of an adoring light in their eyes. “You know, you look absolutely stunning.”

[ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar-arch]

 Upon feeling his date taking up his offer, the smile on his face grew slightly more affectionate. His eyes studied Eike silently for a second or two, glancing at them up and down, even though it was most likely rather hard to tell where Gabriel was looking, as the eyes of his mask had a dark mesh covering them. It was merely a precaution so the boy wouldn’t accidentally use his quirk..again. Maybe, just maybe he could make Eike feel good later on, simply by looking into their eyes? And gosh, their eyes were truly gorgeous..oh, how Gabriel loved them.  “..I could gaze into them for all eternity--”, the blond winced upon catching himself thinking out loud, the rosy hue on his cheeks growing ever so slightly deeper.   Now that they were holding hands once again, it took Gabriel a hot minute to realize that first of all..the music wasn’t all that fitting for the elegant dance he had in mind..as well as the fact that he hadn’t even invited the other closer.  Gosh,he was really messing this up, huh? “ I ah--m..m-my apologies--”, the blond finally managed to stutter, gently pulling Eike closer, carefully moving his free hand down to nearly place it onto their waist, only to pull the said hand back, while glancing to the side.  “..I’m really no good at this sort of stuff, haha--”, the angel sighed in defeat, even though he ended the short sentence in a little chuckle, in a desperate attempt to make the whole situation at least a little bit less awkward.  Gabriel drew a sharp breath, focusing his gaze onto Eike once again, even giving their hand a gentle squeeze.  “ I..understand if you want to cancel our date-. N-not that I want that, in fact..I could barely sleep as you were on my mind all night and well..ever since you..asked me out, but I--”, Gabriel paused, his shoulders slumping a little as he bit his lower lip for a second, only to turn his gaze away from his date once again.  As old as he was, the poor boy really had no experience in proper dating let alone having a date in an event like this! And his date looked absolutely gorgeous. He did have some confidence at first..yet it all seemed to melt away once he saw how beautiful Eike looked tonight and..and he was supposed to be cool enough for them! Oh gosh, what was he going to do?

|| Um- if you’d like a card from my boy here, just drop a <3 in my ask box!

[ask-hetaaca-2pkugelmugel]

The hall was noisy with students bustling around them. Other rowdy and joking teens, all heading towards the cafeteria. The bell had just rang, ending the classes, so of course there was a lot of noise. But that wasn’t too important! They had a question to ask, for a certain someone.

Eike stepped to the side, folding their hands at their waist. They’d stand here for a bit, just until they found him, saying a quick hello every once and a while to those they recognized. They still kept an eye open for the person they were looking for.

Often times, they would spot the other walking down the hall and would approach him for a small conversation. Although they would go their separate ways later on, with Eike staying in the cafeteria and him going to what he believed was Agada’s office. 

They hummed to themselves quietly, watching as the crowd thinned out. Maybe- oh! There he was! Their eyes brightened and they quickly made their way over.

“Good afternoon, Gabriel!” They called, a small, soft smile playing at their lips. “Ah- if I may, could I have a moment of your time?”

// @ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar

[ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar-arch]

 As noisy as the halls were, Gabriel couldn’t help but to smile while watching the much more energetic students making their way towards the cafeteria. More often than not, the blond caught himself watching other students, nearly envious of their energy and abilities..only to remind himself that no no, that wasn’t right. He was just as gifted as anyone else here. After all, he made it to World Academy W as well! Even though he wasn’t in the hero course..but still! Surely there would be something he could do as well?  While Gabriel was busy getting caught up in this thoughts, he had slowed down his pace, nearly bumping into another student, only to apologize with a gentle smile. Even after apologizing, the boy was quickly falling back into deep thought.   Eike approaching the boy seemed to catch him off guard, as he winced upon hearing his name, quickly looking up to meet the bright eyes of his..friend. They were friends, right? Something like that.  “ E..eike, yes. Good afternoon, how may I be of service?”, Gabriel asked, offering them a warm smile while fixing up his glasses. They had started sliding down again, huh..he needed to get that fixed. 

[ask-hetaaca-2pkugelmugel]

Eike tilted their head slightly, offering the blond a smile of their own. They didn't mean to catch him off guard. "Oh! I apologize if I spooked you!"

He paused momentarily, mouth slightly open as if they were about to say something. They fiddled with the cuff of their sleeve. Well, there went all the confidence they had a minute ago... Ah, they sure hoped they weren't making things awkward.

"Well, would you... Are you going to the Valentine's Masquerade, by any chance?" They asked, changing the question mid sentence. Maybe they would stall a little, but that's fine. They could just... go at their own pace. Plus, wouldn't it be better if they actually knew if Gabriel was interested in going?

[ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar-arch]

 Gabriel shook his head, soft curls bouncing a lil as he stopped. He even waved his hands in the air ever so slightly, chuckling softly. His voice was rather melodic, almost like a song in a way.  “ Oh no, it’s alright! I simply didn’t expect company, that’s all.”, Gabriel hummed, studying Eike’s face silently. Their facial features were rather nice, very pleasant to look at, the blond thought, slowly getting caught up in admiring the other, looking almost dreamy.  Perhaps the silence was a little awkward, which was something that Gabriel failed to realize, as he was deep in thought once again.   Fortunately for both of them, he snapped out of it upon hearing the question.  Parting his lips, Gabriel looked like he was going to say something, even taking a deep breathe, only to offer his friend another warm smile.  “ Yes, I was thinking about it. Why?”, the blond paused, lowering his head a little to look at the other over his glasses, half accidentally activating his quirk. Of course, he couldn’t control it, which was the main reason for the poor boy to have glasses in the first place. Luckily his quirk often made healthy folk simply feel good, almost euphoric in a way. “..are you?”, he finally continued.

[ask-hetaaca-2pkugelmugel]

Eike let out a small sigh, rubbing the back of their neck sheepishly. Well, that was good. At least they didn't sneak up and scare him. "That's good to know!"

They opened their mouth to reply before a feeling of euphoria washed over him. They blinked in surprise at the suddenness of it. His quirk, they reminded themself. His glasses had slipped down.

Eike cleared their throat, smiling back at the blond yet again. "Yes, actually. I was thinking about going. And..."

The nervousness had made its return, even with the other's quirk active. They fiddled with their uniform's cuff again, taking a deep breath.

"... I ask because I'd like to know if you would like to go to the masquerade with me?" They asked. Then quickly added on, "But- if you'd prefer to go as just friends, that's alright as well...?"

Eike mentally slapped themself. Way to go asking someone out.

[ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar-arch]

Nodding slowly, Gabriel tilted his head to the side after while waiting for Eike to finish their sentence. Or rather..what they had to say in general. It would be rude to interrupt them, after all. Oh. O h. Now that the cat was out of the bag, Gabriel felt his cheeks heat up ever so slightly, as he let out a little chuckle, even dropping his gaze down towards the floor. Oh gosh, what should he say? This was all so..new to him. People rarely asked him out, mainly because of his..brother, but here he was, being asked to an event like the  masquerade by Eike of all people! Oh, how lucky..~ Slowly and ever so carefully, the blond took a hold of their hands, bringing them up to simply..hold them in his own. A small smile curved onto his lips, as the blond looked up towards Eike, his cheeks dusted light pink. “ I..would love to go with you. “, he paused, averting his gaze to the side, only to return the eye contact. “..as anything you want us to go. Friends, or perhaps something more?”

[ask-hetaaca-2pkugelmugel]

As much as they were hoping they wouldn't be rejected, Eike still was surprised at Gabriel's answer. Not in a bad way, per say, honestly they themselves didn't exactly know what they were expecting.They blinked a couple times as the other took their hands in his. Their face warmed up as they listened to what he had to say. And yes, shocked they were.

God, lucky indeed, on their end as well.

"You... do...?" They asked, a little quiet than before. A feeling of giddiness rose up from their chest and they couldn't help the small grin growing on their face. They glanced away for a moment, trying to school their expression back into it's usual polite smile, but eventually gave up on it. What could they say? They were happy about this all.

Back on track. They cleared their throat again, bringing their attention back to Gabriel with a fond light in their eyes. Although their little smile didn't move at all. How could it?

"As long as you're comfortable with it, would you like to go with me as a date...?" Eike asked, more confidently this time around.

[ask-hetaaca-knightstemplar-arch]

Gabriel couldn’t help but to keep studying their face. Every expression was just way too adorable! He could feel his heartbeat increase, even skipping a beat while watching the other. He was almost too lucky.. A warm feeling bubbled up in his chest while the blond watched his giddy friend, all while holding onto their hands, even giving them a gentle squeeze. He..wasn’t really falling for them, was he? Of course, they had been friends for a while and..and Eike had always been very kind to him. But..now they were asking him on a date..for a Valentine’s  masquerade, too! Hold on..did this mean Eike had..feelings for him? Of did they just want a date for the event? Whatever their answer might be, Gabriel was sure he would find out sooner or later.  For a split second, Gabriel parted his lips upon hearing their question, only to allow himself to smile in a manner that was almost..loving in a way. His gaze was simply..adoring, as the blond remained silent. He couldn’t get any words out.   Gabriel moved almost instinctively, leaning down as he brought one of the hands he was holding up, barely brushing his lips against the soft skin, before looking up above his glasses, giving his..date a slow nod.  “ Yes, I would love to go as your date, Eike. “

Their facial features were rather nice, very pleasant to look at, the blond thought, slowly getting caught up in admiring the other, looking almost dreamy.  Perhaps the silence was a little awkward, which was something that Gabriel failed to realize, as he was deep in thought once again.   Fortunately for both of them, he snapped out of it upon hearing the question.  Parting his lips, Gabriel looked like he was going to say something, even taking a deep breathe, only to offer his friend another warm smile.  “ Yes, I was thinking about it. Why?”, the blond paused, lowering his head a little to look at the other over his glasses, half accidentally activating his quirk. Of course, he couldn’t control it, which was the main reason for the poor boy to have glasses in the first place. Luckily his quirk often made healthy folk simply feel good, almost euphoric in a way. “..are you?”, he finally continued.

Eike let out a small sigh, rubbing the back of their neck sheepishly. Well, that was good. At least they didn't sneak up and scare him. "That's good to know!"

They opened their mouth to reply before a feeling of euphoria washed over him. They blinked in surprise at the suddenness of it. His quirk, they reminded themself. His glasses had slipped down.

Eike cleared their throat, smiling back at the blond yet again. "Yes, actually. I was thinking about going. And..."

The nervousness had made its return, even with the other's quirk active. They fiddled with their uniform's cuff again, taking a deep breath.

"... I ask because I'd like to know if you would like to go to the masquerade with me?" They asked. Then quickly added on, "But- if you'd prefer to go as just friends, that's alright as well...?"

Eike mentally slapped themself. Way to go asking someone out.

Nodding slowly, Gabriel tilted his head to the side after while waiting for Eike to finish their sentence. Or rather..what they had to say in general. It would be rude to interrupt them, after all. Oh. O h. Now that the cat was out of the bag, Gabriel felt his cheeks heat up ever so slightly, as he let out a little chuckle, even dropping his gaze down towards the floor. Oh gosh, what should he say? This was all so..new to him. People rarely asked him out, mainly because of his..brother, but here he was, being asked to an event like the  masquerade by Eike of all people! Oh, how lucky..~ Slowly and ever so carefully, the blond took a hold of their hands, bringing them up to simply..hold them in his own. A small smile curved onto his lips, as the blond looked up towards Eike, his cheeks dusted light pink. “ I..would love to go with you. “, he paused, averting his gaze to the side, only to return the eye contact. “..as anything you want us to go. Friends, or perhaps something more?”
