closed starter for : charmaine axford / @lamaints where : the sweetest tooth.
gabriel hated how it made them feel better. they thought knowing the others were made to suffer for all eternity was enough but now ... after many, many years, he felt something ... new. but still, they hated it and wanted to squash the feeling down with something else. needed to. that was new too. or not felt in so long the angel had forgotten what it was like. the sweet smell of fruit, doughs, and spices hit gabriel's nostrils, sending that craving into overdrive. he wished something simple like a danish or scone could satiate him. a self-proclaimed foodie, they might come close. but what gabriel realized they were searching for in the midst of everything was a bit of the heavens again. to be reminded of pure divinity. and no one could tell them she wasn't. as gabriel felt themselves being pulled by something darker lately, charmaine had a fierce grasp that was only light. such as her smile as she brought him something to try. ❝ i thought we were leaving. now you have me tasting things? ❞ not that they minded. he was a great taste tester, anyway — a well-rounded palate and an honest opinion. ❝ please do not tell me its to set me up with someone. i'm tired today. ❞ still he wears a smile in the presence of the divine. as if they are not.
