Welcome to Gaia! ::

"...Oookay, maybe sometime tomorrow I'll bring him back. Since I don't think he wants to let go at the moment." He laughed quietly and patted Gabriel's leg. "Hold on to that. ....Uhm... I can get the door open, but could you close it when I leave??"

"He will be safely curled up under some blankets, I can assure you of that." He nodded. "I'll call you when we're on our way back, or to let you know if he does spend the night with me." When the door tightened, Des' hold on Gabriel grew tighter. "You just want to go back to zoning out don't you? Have you eaten at all? Slept? ...Showered?" The purplette questioned as he walked the trek from Gabriel's door to his car. "I'll set you up on the couch when we get back alright?"

"Ah well.... We'll get something in your stomach and then you can take a nap." Des set Gabriel down in the passenger seat and ran a hand through the brunette's hair. "Everything's gonna be okay Angel.. I know it hurts, but you'll get through this. And I'm right there with you alright?"

"No?? What about some tea then?? I've got some that helps you sleep... It'll knock you out for a few hours." He gave Gabriel a small smile. "Hey, Believe me sweetheart. I know.. I felt that same way for a while. We'll be home in a few minutes, and then you can do nothing."

"Just close your eyes Angel. We'll be home before you know it." He leaned over and kissed his boyfriend's cheek before closing the door.

"Any time Angel. Just go to sleep now.. I'll take care of you."

A short time later found Des pulling into the driveway. Closing the door as gently as possible, Des made his way over to the passenger side where Gabriel was currently napping. Opening the door was a bit of a trick, since Gabriel was leaning on it, but the purple haired man managed to open it with out startling the sleeping man too much. The seat belt slid back into place quietly as Des wound Gabriel's arm's around his neck as his own arm slid under his legs. "We're home.." He said quietly.

"Love you too Angel. Go back to sleep now.. I'll wake you up in a little bit alright?" He moved as carefully as he could from the car to the large sectional couch in the living room. After stretching Gabriel out on the couch, Des smoothed the mop of reddish brown hair gently. "I'll be right back... I'm gonna go get the comforter from my bed."

Desmond tucked the oversize comforter around Gabriel, smiling as the boy actually latched on and curled into a ball. "Sleep well Angel..." He said quietly as he smoothed the boys hair gently.

A few hours later and Des was trying his best to stifle his snickers of laughter as he watched the sleeping mass on his couch. He watched carefully. Every now and then he'd see a flash of silvery grey pop out from behind the folds of the comforter. And more then once he had to redirect it in the way it should be facing.
