I'm gonna punch you until I'm hard okay go

Something had to distract him. Thoughts of home, how much time he had left, how much damage had been done, what he had done- Gabriel was no coward, but this was all too much for him to bear. He didn't want to, surely he could put it aside for now, just for a little while. The fact that he could even come to that decision on his own prompted a bit of a thrill, he couldn't deny...

Was it cheating to join the wrestling match, being as he was? Well he certainly didn't think so. Someone here had to be good enough to make him struggle, right? ... Well, probably not, as far as he was concerned, but the effort would be commendable at least. And he's a terribly sore winner too, as multiple opponents would soon find. The angel certainly seemed proud of himself, over proud really, rolling his shoulders before hefting the mallet he'd been offered up again, wings and halo blazing as the next opponent would be shot a smug smile.

"Come. I'll be happy to put you in your place." In stark contrast to the wild look in the angel's eyes, that voice was alarmingly soothing.

Gabriel's efforts are near-instantly rewarded by another stutter of breath, a heated gasp. Everything is almost too much, the way arousal pulls their mind fully into their body, makes them feel too aware of everything and especially of Gabriel - but the sword-edge they balance on, that bright slice of pleasure and the threat of prickling overstimulation...it's so deeply, intoxicatingly pleasant that they can't, wouldn't, give it up.

If it's a sin to feel this happy, then they'll gladly be a sinner, is their hazy thought, quickly hidden away. They'll think about it later. Later. There's more important things to do right now.

It's right, in some terrible way, that Gabriel is the one to break them open like this, an echo of their last meeting. As he did before, he does so again, and they show him facets of themselves they've never shown to anyone else.

"That command, I'll gladly follow," Cassiel murmurs breathlessly, staying still so Gabriel has an easier time repositioning himself. Daringly, one hand lifts from pinning Gabriel's wrist to run their fingers through his hair, their fingers skating against his bare cheek. They move their hips again - faster? They should do it faster, closer - and again against him. The noises that friction is beginning to work out of their throat, those breathless hitches and little moans, are something they're barely aware of.

It's warm, it's hot, tremendously so. They're burning again, in the most pleasant way - and isn't that right? Gabriel, for all that's happened, is still the sun.

He keeps moving against Gabriel, shifting his position, trying to figure out what suits their mutual desires best, chasing further pleasure - something sharper, something more. (He has some idea, but it's hard to carry out those ideas when his hands are thoroughly occupied.)

It's good, it's good, so much better than good. It feels exhilarating to be carried away, to be able to have something that can carry him away. He doesn't have to think, for once, he only has to feel, as overwhelming and terrifying as that is.

That doesn't stop them from thinking anyway, though. It feels like their heart is squeezing painfully in their chest at Gabriel's neediness, that begging; it's not something they would have ever expected of him. But perhaps that, too, is their own fault; it's not as if they know Gabriel well.

Perhaps they can correct that now.

Their breath catches in their throat at the rough kiss, and they gladly submit to Gabriel's command this time. Their kiss is clumsy but unmistakably passionate, a newfound desire but no less welcome for it. Their fingers tighten in his hair as they press into the kiss like there's nothing else that could possibly be more important, the other angel made the full focus of their attentions and affections.

Neither of them really have much idea of what they're doing, it seems, but Cassiel is more retiring and thus goes along with Gabriel's ideas in the end. As long as they're both feeling good, that's what truly matters.

They shiver at the way Gabriel's hands run over their body, their breathing ragged, a whine escaping their throat at the other angel's words. They're doing well, they're doing well, it's fine, it's good...

"Good," they manage to gasp. "That's what...that's what I want."

Being touched is a strange feeling after so long being numb to their own body. It's overwhelming, but they don't want it to stop - they'd swallow their discomfort if needed. It feels good to be touched. It feels good to be looked at, to be seen, as if what they wanted was important for anything. They could drown in it.

Still, Gabriel's demanding, pointed movements get a fond little laugh from him; he's more than happy to oblige, to move as he's commanded to. It doesn't take him quite as hard, but he feels Gabriel jolt underneath him, feels the sharp spark of answering pleasure and knows he should definitely do that again.

He frees one hand from Gabriel's hair, drawing it down his body, grasping at his hip in turn. Adjusts himself to see if he can recapture that position, something just right, and grinds against the other angel in such a way that those sharp, bright spikes of pleasure are far more consistent for both of them. It's almost too much - he'll fall off the edge, lose his balance, soon enough - but the sheer intensity of the sensation is enough to make it worth it.

Cassiel does not believe in anything, not fate, not the idea that certain people were made for one another - the Father did not carve them for such fickle and frail bonds. Angels were made to serve. It makes the way they move against Gabriel even sweeter, in a strange way; they know it's their choice to do this, to serve another angel the way they should have shown devotion to their duty.

If this is a sin, it's one I chose for myself. It feels so good that maybe they are doing something wrong, but they're past caring. Heaven doesn't have to look.

Gabriel presses his face against their neck and elicits a low, soft moan from them; it's overstimulating, near-unbearable, wonderful to be laid bare this way, to be wanted so clearly. It's terrible in its simplicity. Their hand tightens in his hair, tugging sharply before they remember themselves and loosen their fingers.

The other angel is overwhelming as always. It's something that engenders a deep affection in him, made even more pronounced by how closely they're tangled up in one another; that outpouring of strong emotion and strong sensation is almost effortless, something that yet again the other angel pulls out of him as if there was no weight to it at all.

Crossing that breaking point, where pleasure and passion ignite into white-hot brilliance, is ultimately easy for all the work it took to get this far. Gabriel drags him off that precipice with his usual suddenness, his desperate movement, and then they're falling, crashing, together.

The metaphor thoroughly breaks down at this point, as does Cassiel's ability to describe even to himself the kind of pleasure he's feeling, but given the kind of loud noises he's making he's enjoying himself very much in climax while it lasts. At some point he does kiss Gabriel quite thoroughly, he remembers that much. It's...very nice.

Cassiel gasps at Gabriel's nails on their spine, burying their face in the other angel's neck as they hold onto him. They let themselves sink into those sensations, the way both their bodies meet and the way it feels, the way Gabriel clutches onto them.

It's intoxicating, really, to see Gabriel like this, a facet he's never seen before. It's something fascinating, something new, something brilliant and beautiful. He'll savor it while it lasts.

The crying, too, is new, though it isn't as pleasurable. They're not sure if it's release or upset or something else; it's not something they can quite understand the impulse to do. Gabriel is passionate, and they are not. While that distance isn't as insurmountable as they once believed it was (and how easy it is, for that perception to change so quickly), they're certainly not the same.

Unsure of what else to do, they simply run their fingers through his hair again, somewhat dazed from their experience. Their breathing is ragged as they fight to catch their breath, still recovering from that blazing, blissful height.

It's peaceful, for at least a moment. They hold onto that, even as Gabriel shakes himself into awareness, into...

They simply let out a breath they weren't quite aware they were holding when he moves, dropping their hand to make it easier for him. As for themselves, as the glow fades they realize how much effort they'd put into all of this, and that pleasant feeling betrays a deep exhaustion as it fades.

They blink erratically as they get up, picking up discarded clothes (they do have to stifle an exhausted laugh at the fact Gabriel didn't even take his clothes with him; they'll have to return them later). Unlike Gabriel, they're not so concerned for themselves, but they are very much concerned with his feelings....they're too tired to follow up on it now, however.
