Honestly, Gabriel never wanted to do this. His mother, however, insisted, as it would help him get to know another senior. But Gabriel honestly didn't want to, he preferred staying in the background, he had zero problems with being ignored. It meant nobody was going to bully him or comment on his personal choices. He would reach for his bag with all of his clothes, that he liked, some personal toiletries, and his collection of guitar picks. On his back would be his guitar in it's own case.

Needless to say, he wasn't exactly happy about the GSA's little senior experience. But he did need the grade for his economics class, which he was failing miserably. He wasn't exactly good at following along in class, simply because it was never a subject interested him. So when the GSA gave them this alternative for the entirety of senior year, he was more than grateful.

He was dearly hoping he wouldn't be stuck with the one person he knew he couldn't be alone with. The one person who could possibly ruin Gabriel's life. Ignoring his own worries, he would walk up the driveway, turning back to hopefully see his siblings saying he could come back. However he wasn't that lucky. His mother and siblings shut the doors to the car and drove away. Without as much as a goodbye, his dark brown eyes stared towards the door ahead. Anxiety would fill the brunet's heart, his breathing would be slowly quickening in pace, as he walked towards the door. He would then open the door before him, and in an almost inaudible voice would speak.

"Fuck."

Jay Castle. Jay Fucking Castle, out of the douchebags and people he had stopped being friends with. It had to be the one person, he knew he still yearned for the late night conversations. He stared directly ahead of him, and would simply stand there mentally repeat the word fuck. Whatever god was in the world, he really had a fucked up joke planned for Gabe.

"Gabriel."

That was all that mattered to Gabe at the moment, he knew definitely they weren't exactly friends. But calling him Gabriel? That hurt the brunet more than anything. His chocolate brown eyes would stare towards the male, his face a whole confusion of emotions. "It isn't I have the same key as you..." he paused hanging the key in front of him. His hands visibly shaking. He looked away, placing the key in his pocket. He looked away, he was feeling like this was a bad idea. This was definitely the worst thing, aside from him and his father's conversation the morning before.

The youngest Shurley child, would clench his fists angrily, and shut his eyes. "Maybe we should just try our best to avoid each other, unless the part of the assignment needs us to interact, I wouldn't want my gayness to affect the school's star player." The boy spoke with a simple venom in his tone, as he walked to the room, he assumed was unclaimed and shut the door. He stood against the back of the door, his heart beating. He would quickly take out his phone and begin typing, seeing messages while he was busy staring at the male he swore he didn't care for.

Bishrexual to The Best Gays of Washington High
lmao yall r fucked got paired with douche prince III.

GayGuitarBoy to The Best Gays of Washington High
YEAH! I JUST GOT FUCKING PAIRED WITH HIS BESTIE. THIS IS NOT HOW I PLANNED MY FUCKING SENIOR YEAR TO GO!

MamaKade to the Best Gays of Washington
My poor senior babies, have fun bitches <3. Try talking to dickbug number one, you never know Gabe.

Leave it to Kade to give him the worst surprise, but infact....she wasn't wrong. He could attempt to be civil, maybe even figure out why their friendship really ended. The male would walk out to where he was originally and stand in front of him. "Look, you and I both don't like each other. But we both need this grade, or we wouldn't be here. So, we need to get along. Not saying we should be friends or shit, but we simply need to get along. So let me lay down some rules with you. I don't care who you sleep with, just do not bring them here. Don't bring your friends over, and I'm not going to bring mine over. Just don't be stupid okay? No mental games no shit like that. Just try to withhold your disdain for a fag like me at bay and I'll keep mine at bay."

Part of Gabriel felt as if the first part was a simple lie, but letting out that burst of anger and disdain seemed to calm him.

Gabriel would walk to his room and slam the door, with a loud scream heard throughout the apartment. He would flop onto his bed and scream again. He hated this. He hated himself. He hated Jay. He knew he shouldn't have yelled at him like that. But he had so much pent up anger towards the boy, but it would honestly hurt his pride if he even attempted to apologize to Jay. He would feel his phone vibrate on his leg.

Bishrexual to the Best Gays of Washington High
So, goes it with ur prince charming, mine is heading 2 a party so im finally blessed.

GayGuitarBoy to the Best Gays of Washington High
Not good, I just screamed at him, it was not very nice. But I just have so much pent-up anger.

MamaKade to the Best Gays of Washington High
I can understand, but how did this happen? In middle school you guys were like best friend goals.

GayGuitarBoy to the Best Gays of Washington High
yeah.....*sighs* Our fathers worked together, and we spent a lot of time over at each other's house. So we got extremely close, we were inseparable. Until I ended up coming out in middle school. So he just sort of distanced himself, and anytime we saw each other, he'd just be different.

After typing that, Gabriel somewhat felt angrier than before. He was the one who had a right to be angry with Jay, not the other way around. Jay was the one who hurt him, who basically dropped him like he was nothing. The whole thing was fucked up to Gabriel. He would look towards his guitar and take it out of the case reach into his pocket to pick out his lucky pick. Getting in a comfortable position he would begin to play the instrumental to a song, that repetitively rang in his head.

"This is going to be very fucking great."

Hearing the door shut, Gabriel knew Jay had left. Obviously, to the party Oliver mentioned in the group chat, he continued to play the guitar fondly remembering him learning how to play it. He remembered how he couldn't get the notes right, at all, so he forced Jay to sit down and help him. They watched countless YouTube videoes, until Gabriel finally denied hte pride he had, and asked his mother for help. He remembered how he told Jay, that when he was famous they'd live in a big ass house, with babes at every side and twenty cars each. Because that's how famous Gabriel would be.

His phone would begin to ring, pulling him out of his thoughts. Seeing Oliver message him seemed to make him angry. Out of anything, he was secretly hoping Jay messaged him letting him know he was gone. But why? It's not like Gabriel cared about where the male ended up.

Bishrexual to the Best Gays of Washington High
whoa dude, tht sound painful. u wnt some drinks tho? bc i got a shit ton

GayGuitarBoy to the Best Gays of Washington High
No, I'm not leaving my apartment tonight. I guess I should be here incase he comes home bleeding or something, that would ruin my grade if he died.

The next thirty minutes would involve Gabriel looking for Jay's phone number or some way to contact him. He absolutely hated the boy, but if he ended up drinking and driving, Gabriel wouldn't really feel good about that. His brown eyes hovered over the number, and would begin to type several messages, but erased them all. Finally he decided on one.

To Asshole:
MSG: hey, you're still an asshole. but if you need a ride home from wherever you went, txt me don't want you to crash and die. i might lose the grade.

Okay. That was harsh. But they weren't friends anymore. Gabriel actively ignored the part that wanted them to. But they weren't friends, no need to tell him because he was worried. Which he wasn't. At all.

"I-It's no problem. You mind telling me why you look like you got jumped?" the male asked. His amber eyes focusing on Jay's face at a stoplight. He would tilt his head, a normal sign of confusion for him, and sigh. He assumed that Jay was flirting with some girl, and got beat up by her boyfriend. He would sigh, ignore the tingling feeling inside of his chest. When the light turned green, he hesitated, hearing a honk and he would begin to drive. His mind lingered on the boy, he saw the male wince in pain when entering the car. After a few moments, they would reach the apartment complex, and he would park the car. "Hey.....you know just because I think you're an asshole, you can talk to me right?" the male questioned his eyes somewhat looking at the boy.

Gabriel would begin to unlock the doors and walk out of the car to the other side. He would open Jay's door, and pull him up to hold his arm over the shoulder.

He somewhat blamed the alcohol on the boy's demeanor, but he didn't know for sure. Something didn't feel right, they just easily fell back into the rhythm they had in middle school. But Gabriel still resented it, for some reason he felt like there was something fishy about the entire thing. He would get himself, and Jay to their apartment and sit him down on the couch. "Now, you've been silent for a bit Jay, tell me what happened, I haven't seen you this beat up since that night you showed up to my house all bruised and bloody....you still never told me what happened." he stated bluntly, a small amount of hurt could be heard in his voice. He would look at his phone seeing his friends blew him up.

Bishrexual to the Best Gays of Washington High

The male chuckled a bit, before placing his phone in his pocket. He would look towards Jay and hesitantly awaited an answer.

Even without knowing Gabe for the five years the ceased their friendship, he knew something more happened. But being answered, he dropped it and sighed. He would nod and leave the room going to his own, with a slight irritation visible in his way of walking. Sitting on his bed, he would feel his phone vibrate. Knowing he was going to get chewed out by his friends, he would look towards his guitar. Picking it up, he would just play around with the strings to calm his nerves. Putting the guitar down, he would begin to scroll through Facebook on his phone, seeing pictures of the party. He would curiously stop on one of the videos someone took, where Jay was apparently threatening someone. The exact words were inaudible, but Gabriel could hear "....don't call him that." then the fighting would continue, as Gabriel tilted his head. Ignoring his urge to question Jay about it, he would begin to message his friends, who were dying to know what happened.

GayGuitarBoy to the Best Gays of Washington High
Sorry! I was driving, and then when we got home, I made him tell me what happened. And I don't know, I guess when he called me old reflexes kicked in. I called him JJ on the phone so....

MamaKade to the Best Gays of Washington High
Ollie went to bed a while ago, but are you sure you still hate him, by him I mean Jay. I mean seeing the way you rushed to his aid, sort of doesn't seem like hate. More of you're putting up the angry facade, so you don't show how hurt you were.

GayGuitarBoy to the Best Gays of Washington High
I DON'T EVEN KNOW!! It's like, I came into this assignment ready to get it over with, and I hated him such a passion. Everything confusing, because now I don't hate him as much. I feel weird whenever I see him, oh lord....I don't want to go to school tomorrow. But we have to.

With Kaden falling asleep, and the current time being extremely late in the night, Gabriel would do what he always did. He picked up his guitar and played the first song he learned on guitar, due to Jay's request. He didn't realize the entire story behind it, until he was already halfway through. But by then he didn't care.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING

#73a09c





After receiving the text from Jay, Gabriel felt rather weird. His dark brown eyes almost teared up at the message, but around three am, the brunet boy fell asleep with his guitar in his lap. The last thing on his mind though was Jay, and that lead to an....odd dream.
_________________________________________________________________________

An alarm would go off for Gabriel a seven o'clock, giving him four hours of sleep. His sluggish body would smack his phone to the ground which would simply muffle the sound. Beginning to get frustrated, he would get up and grab his phone turning off the alarm. Now, anyone who was close to Gabe, or has spent the night with him knows the brunet is not exactly a morning person. Until he has his breakfast tea, which was odd, but how he was. Moving his body towards the closet, to enter the bathroom. His mind would begin to remember the night before.

"Fuck."

Was the mental word Gabriel said, he remembered the whole events from the day before. He and Jay would probably be on good terms, as the night before, Jay was drunk. But Gabriel was very motivated to be out of the apartment before Jay woke up.

Gabriel to Jay
Going to school....so uh yeah.

He would send the message and send another one to Oliver telling him he'd meet him at his car. Eventually, Oliver would meet him at the car. They would get in the car, and drive to a small tea-shop and get Gabriel his tea for the morning. Within three minutes, they'd reach the school and Gabriel would thank Oliver, before heading to his locker. School hadn't started yet, but there were people already there. Mainly some jocks getting in early training. Gabriel would walk down the hallway, getting harsh glances towards him, harsher than the normal ones he was given. The male would begin to reach his locker, as he saw the spray painting on his locker. In a harsh way, blocky black letters would reach across his locker.

STAY AWAY FAG

Gabriel's fists would begin to clench, his face would turn red. Anger boiled in his blood, running to the music room, Gabriel would close the door and lock it. He would let out an extremely angry scream and throw a few chairs around the room and sit in one of the seats holding his chest to his knees.

"I knew it....only bad things could come from this."

His meltdown was short lived, when he gave up on it. Unlocking the doors, he would simply walk out of the school. His dark blue eyes turning a cloudy gray-blue, as he would look up towards the sky that slowly turned a grayish color. He would simply sit outside as the rain started, the entire day pretty much, until the last period. When he realized he had to, but he simply would move back inside sopping wet, and walk towards Oliver's car. He did have a pair of clothes to change into, one of them being an extremely large hoodie that when Gabe and Jay were friends, the brunet took from his room. He would change quickly, in the bathroom and walk back out.

Walking to his final class, economics.

"How kind of you to join the class, Mr. Shurley, take your seat. I will talk to you after class," the teacher, Mr. Hallman, would speak with an irritated tone. Wearing his messenger bag, he scanned the classroom so he could find a seat, and the only seat open was one next to Jay. He would lower his eyes to the floor and sit at the desk next to him, ignoring him. The brunet would simply sit at his desk, ignoring that of Jay's entire existence. It was his fault. He should have stopped his friends. He was in charge of the little group of dickheads. His eyes remained the stormy blue, as he clenched his fists that laid on the desk. He would silently look towards Jay, with a pleading look before turning back and drowining out the entire room.

"Mr. Hallman, I need to leave the room. I'm afraid of infecting people with a sickness I apparently have," the teacher would tilt his head with a confusion. "What type of sickness do you have Mr. Shurley?" Gabriel would look towards Jay with a full on look of irritation and disgust. "I believe it's my faggy tendencies, now I must go before I infect people," the male spoke, before getting up with his bag, and walking out of the room without an approval. He would make his way towards the door, and sit under the school's walkway in the front. His icy blue eyes would stare towards rain falling.

The boy would listen to Gabriel, his anger subsiding inside him. He felt bad, things like this he was not the type of person to him, he supposed it was anger. But not towards Jay, towards the situation they were placed in. It wasn't fair they had somewhat made up last night, and Gabriel had gotten jealous. That he wasn't in the situation where he and Jay kept their friendship. Without thinking, the male would stand up hesitating over the rain pouring down. He would simply dash towards Jay, running in the rain, right now he wasn't in the state of caring over what got wet or didn't. Not even a week into this project, and he fucked up. "Jay!" he yelled at the other boy, the rain drowning out his voice. He would eventually run after him disregarding probability of getting punched, he would begin to speak.

"Look.....I'm...I'm sorry. It's not you I was angry, you were just the person I could easily place blame on. I didn't know you stuck up for me, that would explain the paint on the locker."

He spoke about the writing on his lockers, before looking down. He would take a breath in the rain and look up towards Jay. "Can we continue this conversation at the apartment.....?" he asked. He knew he was in the wrong for his whole attitude, and he was bound to get a call from his mother. His brown hair was plastered to his face, as he would sigh. He hoped Jay was willing to talk to him. He fucked up majorly.

As Jay stormed off to his car in the parking lot he faintly heard Gabriel call out his name behind him. He refused to turn around and say anything until Jay was finally at the door to his car but Gabe had stopped him in his tracks. Jay shot a subltle glare at him digging in his hands in his pockets, "What Shurley? I can't stand in the rain forever". He remarked part of him not even wanting to hear what Gabriel had to say about the situation.

"Look.....I'm...I'm sorry. It's not you I was angry, you were just the person I could easily place blame on. I didn't know you stuck up for me, that would explain the paint on the locker." Jay raised an eyebrow, slightly confused about the random comment. "What do you mean, paint on the locker?" His face slowly fell as Gabe explained what Derek and Jake had done to his locker that morning and his stomach sunk to the floor. He let out a small groan and pinched the bridge of his nose, "God, they're idiots. I didn't know they'd even pull something like that". He ran a careful hand through his hair the rain making it bunch up into curls.

"Can we continue this conversation at the apartment.....?" Jay unlocked his car and threw his backpack into the back of the car. "Uh, yeah I guess. Get in" With that he slipped into the drivers side, starting the car and immediately blasting the heat. He could already feel a cold coming on.

The male slid into the passenger seat of Jay's car and sat there in the silence, he was wet, cold, and emotionally vulnerable. His blue eyes focused on Jay, as he felt an odd feeling. He somehow began to miss his friendship, but feelings bubbled up from middle school. Things he swore he was going to ignore, remembering his brother had left some things for him in his bag, he would change his eyes direction to the window. The waterdrops setting on the window reminding him of a rainy day that he and Jay spent inside. "Hey, when we get to the apartment, I have some patron in my dresser. If you want we could drink it." he spoke to ease the silence. He would simply remain silent, scrolling through his phone seeing a few texts from his friends and a surprising one from his brother.

Oliver to Gabriel
Hey? Are you okay?
Gabe, are you there?

Kade to Gabriel
You're so fucking stupid, can't believe you walked out of class like that! You're such a fucking idiot. You're lucky I don't whoop your ass.

Michael to Gabriel
Hey! Why the fuck did Mom just get a call saying you left the school? What the actual fuck Gabs? Please call me whenever you can okay?

He ignored the text messages, he truly knew they meant no harm. But he wasn't in the state for him to answer them, so he sent a few quick messages saying he'd talk to them later on in the evening. His dark blue eyes grazed over it, before he noticed they were nearing the apartment, he simply awaited Jay to speak.

Jay kept his eyes on the road for the duration of the car ride, he hated driving in the rain, it made him nervous. However, the silence was awkward and tense so to keep his mind busy he tapped his fingers on the wheel. "Hey, when we get to the apartment, I have some patron in my dresser. If you want we could drink it." Gabriel was the first to break the silence. Jay let out a little chuckle as he turned on to the street of the apartments, "Oh god, I don't know if I should drink anymore considering last night" He mumbled softly.

It didn't take long to get from the school to the apartment and within a couple minutes they were both in the warm apartment, which Jay was extremely thankful for. "I'm going to change out of these clothes really quick" He quietly slipped into his room exchanging his soaked clothes for an old football t-shirt and some athletic shorts. He peeked into the mirror in the bathroom and frowned to see his hair had went to its unruly curls by the rain. He got so annoyed by his hair when it become so springy and wild.

He somehow found his way to the comfy couch in their informal living room and immediately sunk into the comfiness of it all, he really wasn't paying attention to anything else."Mphf. I could die happily on this couch" He muttered, more so to himself as he closed his eyes, resting for a moment.

As soon as they got to the apartment, Gabriel managed to move to his room and changed into a pink hoodie and black sweatpants. He got to his dresser and took out the bottle of patron, and moved out to the living room area. Sitting down next to Jay, his hair still plastered to his face. He would simply smile a short bit before he would open up the bottle and tag a swig of the liquid. "Mphf. I could die happily on this couch." Gabriel began to laugh a bit before he would speak. "Why'd we stop being friends? Was it really because I was gay?" he asked in a curious tone. His eyes lingered over the boy, before taking another swig, offering it over to the boy.

Gabriel giggled slightly. Oddly remembering a nickname he gave Jay when they were kids. A few before middle school, when Gabriel first moved here. Obviously, he was a little bit buzzed from the drink and would lay his head on Jay's shoulder. Not realizing the possible consequences. A thought would cross his mind.

This feels weird.

"Oh, uhm that, that's a difficult question I-erhm."

How. How was that a difficult question, it was a yes or no question. Seriously? Gabe would pout a bit after Jay told him to ease up on the alcohol. He had very well known he got over-affectionate when he drank, his friends still refused to let go of the tree hugging incident, but he didn't think anything of it. He was still focused on how saying yes or no, was a difficult question to answer? He was just wondering what made him lose his best friend. With a sigh, Gabe would keep his head rested on Jay's head, and would speak "Why's it difficult?

The brunet asked, his blue eyes moving towards Jay's direction, not making eye contact but staring at him. He knew this was awkward, and he didn't know what encouraged him to bring the subject up. But he did, and he was looking for the truth. He was simply looking for his best friend. He would take another swig from the bottle, and would wait for the boy to muster a reasonable answer.

"You can be honest with me Jay, you know this....right? I'm not going to judge you."

"Why's it difficult? Jay squeezed his eyes shut and let out a small sigh. He knew Gabe would press him until he was satisfied with an answer, but Jay was still conflicted on revealing the truth. "It just is Gabe, I don't know why you don't understand that" He stated not in a malicious manner but one of desperation, he just wish that Gabriel would drop the damn topic.

"You can be honest with me Jay, you know this....right? I'm not going to judge you." Jay rolled his head to look over at Gabriel his eyes filled with curiosity and almost a little bit of sadness. It suddenly hit Jay that Gabriel had gone years not even knowing why Jay had just fallen off the face of the earth. They had been best friends and then Jay cut him off, God he must think I'm the biggest ass on the earth. "I know, its just - not - I don't want, god" Jay let out a frustrated breath and clasped his hands together to keep him distracted.

"When you came out, I- I was fine. Gabe I didn't give a damn, you could've said anything and I wouldn't have cared. We were best friends. My father on the other hand - he wasn't as opened minded and he-" Jay got caught in his words, he didn't want to finish the sentence, he couldn't finish the sentence. When Jay had protested that night, after his father told him he couldn't speak to Gabriel again, his father had gone on a rampage. The minute the first form of a complaint came out of Jay's mouth his father backhanded him so hard across the face he saw spots in his vision. He remembered hiding in his closet that night, he couldn't sleep because he was so afraid his father was going to kill him. It's the reason why he chose to obey what his dad said. He was scared, and he didn't want the same for Gabriel. "I didn't want you to get hurt" He spoke quietly staring intently at his hands, the tips of his ears turning red partly from shame. He never wanted to tell anyone this, he was so afraid of what would happen, what his father would do to him if he told anyone.

The male would sit there and feel bad. His emotions became extremely heavy in that moment. His dark blue eyes teared up, as he felt a pain. He felt bad for thinking that Jay was just a dick, that no reason was ever made for it aside from the one he assumed. The brunet wrapped his arms around Jay, with no words, and hug him. His eyes shut. A way of apologizing to the male for his own actions. "I'm sorry......"

Okay, this was definitely the alcohol talking through Gabriel's emotional state. Putting the bottle down he let Jay go and sat up, tears starting to form. An emotional mess was a highly accurate term for Gabriel's current mood. He would lay back down on the couch and sigh. He would take the remote and turn on the television randomly surfing the channels. There was an underlying feeling that things were being withheld. But he shrugged. Taking the bottle of patron, he would take a big swig of it, and finally place his channel on an old episode of the Simpsons. He giggled at the television for a short moment, but would then remember his purpose of the conversation. Looking towards Jay, he would tilt his head. And for sure, the alcohol would have taken over his mentality.

"Thank you....you might sometimes hate me, but....but that's okay. Because I love you no matter what, and that's all that matters. Because friendship is the best thing."

The male would speak, before nodding off, he would begin to sleep. His breathing slowed as he curled up on the couch directly next to Jay. He was going to have a hell of a hangover on Saturday tomorrow.

Gabriel woke up to the sound of thunder. Of course, it had to be thunder, there was nothing more than the sound of thunder that Gabriel hated. The brunet boy would silently whimper a bit, and curl up closer to the couch and would feel a pounding headache coming over him. Curling in the blanket that he didn't remember having a blanket before it hit him. Jay, was there. He had to have placed the blanket on him when he was asleep. He would shrug as he would look over to the male's door, he would also remember the words from the night before.

"Thank you....you might sometimes hate me, but....but that's okay. Because I love you no matter what, and that's all that matters. Because friendship is the best thing."
"Gabe, I'll never hate you, don't say that. I love you too, nothing can split us apart, not anymore"

His face would shrink into the blanket covering his body closer, as he would grab the remote and turn on the television. Eventually landing on a cooking show, startling his hunger. But honestly, he didn't really think he wanted to get up. With another clash of thunder, Gabriel would jump and dig deeper into the blanket wrapping himself. Not wanting to call for Jay, but hoping the male came out.

Sticking his head out, Gabriel would nod, as he watched the Simpsons. He honestly, wished his cat Samhain, was there the feline always seemed to calm him down during thunderstorms and things of the such. Gabriel didn't really know where the fear came from, therapists seemed to be baffled by it. But it seemed like a few years before Jay and Gabriel fell apart, he developed the fear. "Y-Yeah I'm up. The storm woke me." the brunet boy spoke with a slight stammer. He would look up at Jay, offering a spot on the couch.

He would move over slightly, trying to focus on the television, rather than the sounds of thunder. The rain he never seemed to mind, but the loud clashing of thunder always seemed to scare him. He would smile slightly to Jay, and begin to channel surf aimlessly trying to find something.

Gabriel's face flushed red as he would feel Jay's arm shifting him closer to him, and he would feel oddly safe. He remembered when they were children, and Jay spent the first night over during a thunderstorm. He remembered how Jay helped him build a fort, and they hid in there watching some cartoon they were fond of. The two would sit there huddled in the fort and knew nothing of what people had thought. Since then, Gabe had been forced to deal with them alone. His elder siblings helped often, but when they weren't there he relied on his cat. He felt comfort in Jay's arms, knowing this was simply a friend helping a friend. But honestly, he didn't want to be anywhere else. He was comfortable in the quiet...oddly.

With thunder shaking the apartment every now and then, he would flinch slightly, but as it went on he became less and less concerned with his own fear. He was becoming more concerned with him and Jay. He would occasionally look up at the male, and would begin to speak. "I'm hungry, wanna make some food with me?"

"She was more concerned about her curtains than your burning down the house."
he spoke with a laugh, before grabbing one of the very colorful mixing bowls. He would reach across from him before taking the Bisquick and pouring a decent amount in there. Gabriel never really followed directions when it came to cooking. He just went with what he felt, and it commonly worked out better than most people would assume. He would begin to hum a certain song that he and Jay would know with an ease, Gabriel went through a phase of absolutely loving Jesse McCartney, he would begin to sing the song as he would move around the kitchen.

Grabbing the small bag of dark chocolate chips, he would take it and pour the entire thing in the flour mix. Quickly adding milk, eggs, and just a slight addition of sugar. As he whisked the things together, he would sing aloud. "I don't want another pretty face, I don't want just anyone to hold, I don't want my love to go to waste. I want you and your beautiful soul. You're the one I want to chase, You're the one I want to hold." he would fade into humming as he would continuously stir the batter.
