You had spend half the night thinking about all the things Gabriel had talked about at your little picnic. His words about his family. About humans. But most of all, about your so-called 'lesson'. You still didn't exactly get, what the hell that all was supposed to teach you. That he wasn't bad? Well, that didn't work so well. He definitely had a dark side. Even though you never actually saw it when you were with him. The worst thing he did, was to scare you a little. But you knew what he was capable of. After hours of pondering and staring at the ugly yellowish wallpaper in your room, you had made up your mind. You needed to find out what to do with him. Looking at the giant bag of candy he had bought you, you felt bad again. You decided to be as fair as possible, and find out just a little more, before judging him completely.

Now it was Tuesday morning and you were standing in the kitchen. There was no-one else this time, in fact both of your roommates were asleep. Simply because it was so damn early. You had gotten up, like two hours earlier than usually, because you had this stupid idea. You were standing there, at the counter, surrounded by a mess of dirty bowls and cups. Everything you touched was sticky, and every step you took made a crunching sound, from the sugar on the floor. Yes, you were baking. It's not like you were so good at it, but you had found something easy on the internet, that you knew was makable. You had just put the little cake in the oven, beginning to wash up, when you heard someone else's feet. You looked behind you, to see Tina had entered the kitchen, looking tired and now staring at you, like you had lost your mind.

»T-Tina, hey...« You said, trying to look relaxed.

»...« Tina's eyes were fixed on you, her raised right eyebrow saying more than a thousand words.

You quickly pointed to the mess you had made and waved your finger around it.

»Oh, this...? I just... I couldn't sleep so... I was making me something for breakfast, later, heh.«

»... cake?«

»...yeah. I... I like cake.«

You just realized how you sounded like Gabriel now. Great.

Tina then shrugged, and opened the fridge to get herself a lemonade, before sitting down on one of the chairs. She didn't look very good, but that wasn't such a surprise after all. It was obvious, she was still suffering from what happened in the forest, and you decided not to ask her about it. She moved the unopened can around on the table, looking at it, like daydreaming.

»...have you heard... about those sickos...?«

Your head turned to Tina again, making an asking face.

»...what sickos...?«

The blonde didn't look up from her drink.

»There's this little group of... well... strange kids.«

»...« You dried your hand, while listening.

»... some sort of... I don't know... goths... or whatever...«

»...goths...? In the college?«

»Yeah. There are rumors that they are... satanists.«

Now your eyes grew bigger.

»You mean like... they are worshiping...the devil?«

»Yes.«

Tina's eyes changed, and she squeezed her lemonade a little too had, making the can dent under the pressure. She seemed to be shaking a little, finally looking at you.

»Everyone may think I'm crazy. Even Debra says I'm obsessed with it. But the thing that killed Bryan... wasn't human. And now, finally... there seems to be an explanation.«

»...«

Looking at Tina's current condition, made you feel terrible, for not telling her the truth. You wouldn't know where to start to explain, or how to do it.

Sorry Tina, you're wrong. The janitor killed Bryan. Because he was an asshole. How I know that? Well, I have lunch with him sometimes.

Holy crap.

After Tina finally opened her can, she went back to her room. Not without telling you to be careful at the college. You just nodded to that, knowing you were baking a cake for Bryan's murderer. Talking about sickos.


It was a short day at the college, finished before lunch break, which fit perfectly in your plan. You had cut the cake into pieces, ate one for breakfast, and packed a few in tinfoil. As soon as your courses were over, you made your way up to the trickster's flat. Climbing up the stairs, you realized, you weren't even sure what to say to him. But you had to do something about your guilty conscience, and this was the perfect opportunity. You soon stood in font of his door, feeling nervous and a little stupid actually. But whatever, it was too late to backpedal now. You knocked on the door, and heard the dog bark as a reaction. The last time you were here, Gabriel wasn't there, but this time was different. A few seconds passed until the door opened to a picture that made your breath get stuck in your throat. There he stood, the so-called janitor, in a goddamn bathrobe. His hair was wet and warmth seemed to be radiating from him. Somebody just had a shower, obviously. You felt an awkward heat rising up your face, reaching your brain quickly. Gabriel's mouth grew into a broad smile within a second.

»Sunshine!« He didn't seem to mind his presentation.

That was sooo not the situation you had expected. Your eyes had looked him over against your will, and you had to force them back to his face. He had a sincere happiness in his face, that confused you even more. The feeling of little paws brought you back to reality, looking down to see Archie, just as excited.

»I-I... ehh...« You liftet up the little tinfoil-bag.

»I just... uhm... wanted to bring you some... cake.«

Gabriel's eyes began to shine even more. It made you feel like you needed a face-saver.

»I mean I... I made it and... it was too much... so...«

Gabriel took the bag and held it under his nose to take a deep sniff. He seemed to like what he smelled.

»Thank you, sweetheart.« He almost whispered, making you blush again. Then he waved his hand.

»Come in.«

»... huh? U-uh n-no, I have to-«

But before you could even end your sentence, he had already pulled you in. The short man strolled into the little kitchen to get himself a fork, and started unwrapping the cake. You just stood there, trying to look less awkward than you felt, leaning against the back of his couch. Archie followed you, searching for your attention, so you figured it was best to distract yourself with him. You picked him up in your arms, which he seemed to enjoy.

»You're an excellent baker.« Gabriel was leaning over the counter, already eating.

»Oh... no... certainly not. I pretty much never bake at all.«

»... that's not the point.« He looked at the cake pieces, while chewing slowly.

You watched him, wondering what he was thinking.

»You see... I can taste it, when something is made... with love.«

The blood in your cheeks made them resemble tomatoes again, as Gabriel put this mischievous smirk of his on. That did it. Your limit of daily trickster was reached. You put down Archie, who had licked all across your face without you even noticing.

»I have to go home now.«

Trying to quickly scurry past Gabriel, you were blocked by an even faster hand of his, grabbing your forearm.

»Not alone.«

»W-what?«

»I said, not alone. I'll bring you home.«

Really? All of a sudden he needed to walk you home? It was earlier than any time before, not even dark outside.

»Oh, no, you don't need to.« You waved your hands around.

»Yes I do. I hear, there are shady people out there, recently.«

»Shadier than you?«

For that, he threw an reproachful glance at you. But without letting you complain any more, he went out of the room, to put some clothes on. You decided to give it up and just get it over with. A few minutes later he closed the door to his apartment, leaving the dog behind, which earned him a heartbreaking whine. You walked down the hallways and out of the college. Since your way wasn't long, you soon reached home again. Gabriel had kept an eye on the surroundings all the way, which was a little creepy. He was so distracted by that, you didn't talk at all.

»...there we are... uhm... thank you.... I guess... and-«

You were about to wave him goodbye finally, when someone put a hand on your shoulder.

»He-heyyyy, (Y/N)!«

Debra had just stepped out of the building, now putting her arm around your shoulder. You had never been that close to her, which made you feel a little out of place. She held you in a firm grip, looking over Gabriel.

»You never told me, you had a boyfriend.«

»W-what?! N-no! It's not-« You blushed like crazy.

Debra was giggling shamelessly, while Gabriel had the biggest grin on his face.

»Ahhh... no need to be embarrassed. You got a cutie there.« She said, before leaning down to whisper in your ear.

»A little short maybe.«

At that, you squirmed out of Debra's grip, ready to escape, before your head would explode. You reached for doorknob, when you were pulled back once more. Gabriel had grabbed you by the waist, and now held you so close to him, you only saw the color of his eyes.

»Don't you wanna tell me goodbye, love?«

Without a warning, he put a meaningful kiss on your lips,stunning you on the spot. Debra cheered, clapping her hands. It wasn't long, but it felt live forever. When he released it, you stumbled backwards a little, fumbling for the door behind you. Your face was unreadable and your voice toneless, when you vanished through the entrance of your home.

»BYE.«

Sorry for the wait! I started at a new job. :)

who would be able to resist that man, I couldn't. His fun personality, beautiful eyes, love for sweet things and his dog would melt my heart any day. I'd bake him whatever he wanted. I love baking and can only cook a few simple things.
