baby come kiss the reaper // no longer accepting
Do something once, and itās an accident. Do something twice - still a coincidence. Three times? Now thatās a pattern, and Gabriel knows all about those. He makes a livingĀ analyzing them, quite enjoys it too. But this? This is a pattern he canāt quiteĀ put his finger on. Not yet.
Not that heās complaining, mind you.
Itās a habit theyāve bothĀ fallen into with a few stumbles and stuttering limbs, awkward and tentative.Ā
Gabriel is, if nothing else, ever too usedĀ to suppressing the urge to press his nose in someoneās neck, instincts getting the better of him unless he keeps them on a tight leash. Thereās no time for it, heās a Commander, not some whimpering pup.
Enter Jesse goddamn McCree.
So here he is, again. Heās letting Jesse press himĀ against the wall for some reason; it feels balanced like this, a little less like heās cornering the kid like some mindless knothead. His stomach twisted and turned the first time, but now he folds willingly; head tipped back against the wall and fingers loosely curled in Jesseās hair as the younger man presses his nose against Gabrielās jaw, breathing in softly.
They linger in each otherās scent a little longer every time, and Gabriel canāt find it in himself to stop it.
Not when Jesseās humming softly as his lips brush over Gabrielās neck, so evidently pleasedĀ with what heās finding that Gabriel tips his head back further, giving him space to work.
He crashes headfirst into and through another carefully set boundary when Jesse pulls back and Gabriel finds himself holding his chin, gentle but insistent; presses his lips against Jesseās to taste himselfĀ there, warmth and arousal and a hint of something soft, like coming home.
If threeās a pattern, he canāt wait for what four might mean.
