“ As long as you’re f-fine now. You know how I feel about d-drunk people. " He grumbles, although he can’t help but smile as he watches Nico. Those little schoolgirl butterflies are fluttering in the pit of his stomach once again, and he has to say, it’s a feeling he definitely missed. " Jus’ tell me if you need some water or asprin, okay? " Don’t blame him for being overprotective, it’s just instinct for him to worry about Nico at this point.
“ Oh come on, Nico. You don’t want to l-listen to me talkin’ about tinctures and healin’ spells. Watchin’ paint dry would be more interestin’. " The wizard chuckles, self-consciously tossing his gaze to the floor. As much as he loved medicine, he hated trying to talk about. After all, nobody would care anyway. " That’s ‘cause I don’t let you see him on his bad days. He can make my Dad look nice. And oh, so she’s basically you with lady parts? " Gabriel smirks, not being able to stop himself from giggling at his own joke.
” Right, so t-tough. I’ll make sure to tell your french bulldog and the f-flowers you brought me. " The blond giggles, although the sudden whiff of vodka makes him wince a bit. " I don’t c-care. I’m sure the worst thing you e-ever did isn’t as bad as what I did. " He sniffles, gnawing on the inside of his cheek. But once Nico is rambling, the giggles and soft smile are back. " I-I like gentle. …Maybe rough here and there. But gentle m-most of the time. " His breath catches in his throat as he’s pulled onto Nico’s lap, arms immediately wrapping around his shoulders and hands resting on the back of his neck. And then they’re kissing, and all the blond can think is NicoNicoNicoNico. He tastes a bit like vodka, but Gabriel doesn’t care. All he cares about is that his love is back and the entire world around them has faded out. When the kiss is broken, he whines like a needy puppy at first, his face fallen into a pout and his fingers tugging on the brunet’s hair. But after a few moments, he can’t help but smile back. " —— I-I seriously love you. Like. M-more than anything in the u-universe. ”
“ I'm quite fine now, darling. Yeah, and I promise that after tonight, I won't be doing anymore drinking. " He whispers, a few drunken giggles escaping past his lips. Nico is literally one of those drunks that giggles at everything. It's quite odd but it's better than being a sad or angry drunk. " I think I might need some water but I'll get that myself. " He loves the fact that Gabriel is still overprotective of him.
“ I want to hear you talk about everything and anything, Gabe. I absolutely love hearing your voice and hearing you ramble on and on about things. " The drunk boy admits, not really sure why he did. Nico truly did care about everything the boy had to say, it all intrigued him, even if he had no clue what he was talking about. " Well shit, I definitely don't want to see your brother on his bad days. Ha ha, very funny. But no, I tend to think I'm much more better than her. Oh god, could you imagine her and your brother meeting? I don't think that'd go over too well. " Nico is literally chuckling at the thought.
” I'm not so tough when it comes to you and Gizmo, alright? But besides that, I'm one hella tough dude. " That's a bunch bullshit though, Nico isn't even that tough. In fact, he's quite a little sweetie pie. " Hmm, I don't know. It probably wasn't as bad but still. " He mumbles, hiccuping as well. Hearing Gabriel giggle honestly makes him smile, mainly because he enjoys hearing that cute little giggle." I'll be sure to always be gentle with you, then. " While they were kissing, electricity was surging through Nico's body. He had been dying to kiss the boy for weeks now and he finally got the chance to do it. Finally being able to kiss Gabriel was the highlight of his knife, to be quite honest. " —— I can honestly say the same thing, babe. I literally love you more than I love Gizmo, but don't let him know that. ”
