Expression tormented, he looked Aziraphale squarely in the eye.
"I do not know the truth of his feelings. Only that there was desire etched in the lines of his body. I would know, being what I am," he said softly. "Nor do I care what Above or Below would think of me. I've been Lucifer's playtoy and the stuff of nightmares. The Presence has left me, though I feel it was unjustly, and it has no home in my heart, nor a claim to my soul."
He made a soothing, humming noise in Aziraphale's direction, laying a hand warily on the angel's arm. "Aziraphale, I love him," he said, twisting the weight of every emotion he had ever felt for Gabriel into that one word, offering it up to Aziraphale as a promise. Hurting Gabriel was the furthest thing from his heart.
