Gabriel was even more excited than usual to get home. He tended to get out pretty late, being the bartender that he was. However, he managed to get things moved around so that he was out a few hours earlier than normal. He did that for a very specific reason. 

The last few days he’d noticed a small kitten hanging around behind the pub. He hadn’t taken it the first day because he didn’t know where it lived or if it had a little kitty family around. After a week he hadn’t seen a single other cat and came to the conclusion that he or she must be alone. 

That brought him to today, when at the beginning of his shift, while taking out the garbage, he spotted the little thing sleeping in a tiny box, practically shivering. He decided right then that he couldn’t possibly leave it out in the cold. He picked up the box, brought it inside and set it in the back so they wouldn’t get lost running around the pub. He immediately started work on getting his shift covered.

Back to the present, his excitement, of course, had everything to do with his boyfriend. He could already see in his mind the smile that would light up the room when Ky saw the little thing. He could hear the cry of joy when he learned it was theirs to keep. There was truly nothing Gabriel loved more in this world than making Ky happy and he took every opportunity he could find to do so.

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other in the kitten’s box, keeping it calm during the drive, he pulled up to their shared home. He parked and picked up the box gently while whispering reassurances to the tiny creature. Once he walked inside he called out to Ky with a smirk on his face.

It was easier than he thought it’d be to get the last hour of his shift covered and Gabriel was eternally grateful for it. The night hadn’t been particularly bad, but the week had been unfortunately. He honestly could wait to just have Ky back in his arms. His presence always lifted Gabriel’s spirits; made him feel like nothing else mattered.

He made a quick stop at his place for a shower and change of clothes before making his way to Ky’s. He was already smiling to himself in anticipation of seeing him when he knocked on the door.

Dating was not Gabriel’s forte. The last time he had actually put an effort into being romantic he was even younger than Ky, before he left home. Living on the streets he’d never had the opportunity and since coming to the village he preferred to keep to himself. He wasn’t expecting Kyoichi Fabray, to say the least.

Needless to say, he felt a little silly as he strung fairy lights around his garden in preparation for his first real romantic date in well over ten years. He sighed and took a look around, hoping that Ky wouldn’t think that the effort was lame. He gave the lights a quick test and headed into the kitchen after determining them satisfactorily set.

Gabriel: I downloaded a keyboard thing, babe.

Gabriel: アイシテル

Baby. It’s been a week.

Panic was not quite the right word for what Gabriel felt at seeing the words, ‘I am making shelfs in bed,’ light up his phone screen. Confusion was the first emotion, followed quickly by concern. He looked up and shoved his phone in his pocket as he dashed towards the bedroom. “Baby?” He called out to the boy. He would wonder why his boyfriend hadn’t let him know he was home the entire time they were texting, but honestly it wasn’t a surprise.
