Snippet- The First Meeting
Finally, the day had come. Today was the same as any different day, the same blue sky over-head, the same ground under their feet as it always had been, nothing had changed but something would, something drastic. Today was the day that both boys had knew would be coming. Neither boy had had much contact with the other since they had been taken, it wasn't unusual either, they were close in age but their elements were different so usually they didn't meet. The way Heaven was sanctioned, they were separated but both Gabriel and Jack knew each other, if their names were spoken to the other they both could clearly see the other in their minds.
Even separated but the way the buildings were they both spent extra time preparing for today, this was the day that they would get their partner assignments. Little did they know that in a few hours they would be partners with each other. It would defiantly be the last person that Gabriel would expect to be partnered with. The dark haired angel was walking down the long path leading to the meeting room, a large building that loomed over head anywhere that you traveled. It was built of thick brick, the color of rust, towering up, piercing the sky. The steeple almost pressing against the sun, the side were covered with growing ivy, twisting across the bricks, spilling across the surface, almost overtaking the building. He strode across the courtyard, angels mingling by the fountain The large structure that adorned the front courtyard, taking up most of the green space, tangles of roses and other flowers flowed around the base of the marble fountain the top adorned with the angels that help fight against the uprising of Lucifer. Each angel was placed back to back in the center of circle, the water around their feet, each angel held a different expression, each a different emotion and under them across the bottom was a motto everyone held close to their hearts, "Lapsum Est Semper Facile." meaning the fall is always easy. It meant that the fall to become a Fallen, a forsaken angel, a fallen angel thrown from Heaven and cast down to Earth or even Hell.
Gabriel moved away from the fountain with one last glance at his fellow angels before walking through the main doors, as he walked in all that could be heard was various angels in the entryway speaking softly to each other each language could be heard, small snippets of old Latin of the old days to soft choruses of Welsh, to the sharp tones of the various languages from Asia. He strode down the hallway that lead to the room he needed where he didn't know who he'd find. He kept the same posture he always did, some showing off the same attitude that he always did, head held high, strong jaw clenched, shoulders back with his wings slightly unfurled as not to slam them into anything, usually he keeps them greatly unfurled, all fourteen feet the ink black feathers spread wide. But now they were held close, just brushing out to around to a few feet out around him. As he came close to the room he wanted, the dark rose wood of the door almost glowing out to him, the room number shown bright against the dark wood, a thick brass template against the top of the door. Gabriel pushed his dark hair from his eyes, golden eyes luminous as every thought he could think passed through his head. He smirked, "Now or Never." He thought and placed both palms flat against the door, pushing into the wood, flinging both doors open, striding in, the same air that always went around high, his wings spreading out larger, trying to puff himself out larger.
He smirk at the reaction he got, a flustered sound of papers rustling as the doors smacked against the wall, the soft blue paint almost looking at Gabriel in spite. He smirked to Trinity, one of God's servants and angels he held close to his heart, she was kind but held this rebellious streak almost as strong in her as it was in Gabriel. Yes, he loved what he was, why he was chosen and how he came here but there was always a part of him that looked for a different place, a different time and a different way to do things, but for now...he would stay here.
He smirked over to Trinity and sat down at the couch across from her desk, the brow leather worn and tender, pitch marks dotted along the worn material from years of use. He splayed out across the seat, legs spread apart, wings almost completely unfurled across the back and arms spread across the back. He looked over to Trinity for one of the first times since he walked in, she was dressed as always. Her long back skirt gathered at her ankles, short boots tight across her feet, and above a tight baby blue corset like top encircled her middle, dropping low and cutting in a beautiful way to accent her figure. On both her wrists, she had the Trinity symbols across her wrists, her namesake but almost a tie to her Religion. She glared over her glasses, sharp brown hair poking out every which way. "Gabriel..." She said in a warning tone, staring over at the other angel across the desk, she regarded him with cool amber eyes, a few shades lighter than her wings, which were tucked close against her body.
"Yes, lovely?" He smirked, he always tended to flirt shamelessly with all the female angels, especially Trinity, she never returned any of his advances and that was fine with him.
"Stop being such an ass Gabriel. Today is an important day and I don't want you messing it up and ending up ruining something." She said in a clipped tone, her eyes glancing at the door and back to the golden eyes angel, "Where was Jack?" She kept thinking over and over. All Gabriel gave her was a smirk in reply.
Thick boots slammed down the hallway as the two bickered back and forth, huffs and puffs of hard breath could be heard as Jack ran down the hallway, sliding down all the sharp turns and finally he slid into the right way, slamming hard against the door, almost falling into the room. Suddenly as Jack righted himself, two sets of eyes were glued to his smaller frame. A pair of amber eyes glued to him and hard like shards, while golden eyes went up and down his form, slinking over every inch of his body, taking in everything from the dark boots to the bright blond hair gently spiked out and finally he rested on the ice blue of Jack's eyes. Gold holding close to blue. Gabriel smirked, "I like him already."
