"Since Creation began," Belial gasped with the truth of it against Gabriel's hand.
He sounded as music, throat limbering as he remembered how to speak. "I have loved you since the first mote of light was spun from the Creator and all was bathed in its fair light."
His heart did not--could not--suffer spilling forth to Gabriel quietly. It thrummed in his ears, staccato, terrified that he might be cast down again for his sins.
Little kisses; he placed them all along Gabriel's hand. His emotions were surreal to him; six thousand years of desperation and denial had left him somewhat disconnected. Detached. Watching himself love through his own eyes.
Gabriel brought his mind hurtling back to where it belonged. Everything seemed brighter, sharper, and he groaned with it.
