(Side note: I love Pretty Little Liars and it truly is an amazing show but the one gripe I have is that Gabriel Holbrook and Hanna were never explored more. It's annoying that they paired her with Travis in season 4B. As some commented on a YouTube video, Hanna shared more with Holbrook in one kiss than she ever did with her interactions with Travis. There was also the fact that Travis and Hanna had less total interactions than Holbrook and Hanna. And while Caleb might be an interesting character Holbrook and Hanna offer more since Caleb and Hanna feels forced. They really don't have anything in common other than each other. This will be a multi-chapter FanFic. Enjoy)
Chapter 1
Hanna stormed into the police station the following Monday after the Ice Ball. She just had to talk to Holbrook. Hanna and Gabe might not have ever technically been romantically linked, but Hanna always had carried a torch for him even if she would never admit it out loud. She just couldn't imagine that what Aria said was true. He couldn't have kissed Ali. That would be crazy. She might not have interacted with him in awhile but she knew that Gabe was a good person. That's why she had been drawn to him in the first place. She had just been so stupid. Hanna regretted being with Travis and then briefly reuniting with Caleb-not that she harbored any ill will towards him or anything. She and Caleb were friends now. And that was okay. Hanna realized that she wanted him in her life, just not in a romantic sense. And Caleb was actually involved with someone else at the moment, so it all worked out for the best.
Gabe's eyebrows inched up his head. "What are you doing here Hanna? Long time no see."
"I want the truth." Hanna's arms remained folded together.
He shot her a confused look. "If you are going to yell at me you could at least close the door."
"Fine." Hanna reached back towards the door while she slammed it shut. After that, she whipped her body around to face Gabe. "I know you kissed Alison at the Iced Ball. Do not deny it. I also know that you are in cahoots with her and Cece Drake. Did you help Cece Drake escape from police custody that nigh?"
Gabe pushed in his chair. He shuffled over to Hanna. "How could you even think that about me? If anyone has a right to be mad it's me?"
Hanna scoffed. "And what's that supposed to mean?"
His chest bounced up and down a couple of times. "You're the one that chose Travis over me."
Hanna pushed a lock of her blonde hair out of the way. "I did that for you."
He almost spat in her face right then and there. "Excuse me?"
"You are a cop," Hanna reminded. "Even if you didn't go to jail you could have gotten into trouble for being involved with me."
He wagged his finger at her. "Don't pretend you were looking out for anyone other than yourself Hanna. The truth of the matter was that we had more chemistry than you and Travis. I mean did you even spend any time with Travis or were you too preoccupied with all your drama?"
Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "It's not like that and you know it! How dare you say such things about me."
He lunged forward. "Then tell me Hanna, what was it like? If I remember you were the one that kissed me. I was the good guy. I never came onto you even though I was trying to subtly flirt with you and had a thing for you."
She put her hands on her hips. Hanna just wasn't having it. She didn't care that her mother taught her to be a polite person or was dating a pastor. Hanna had been silent for far too long when she was friends with Alison. "I just said the kiss couldn't happen again. I never said that I didn't have feelings for you."
He gasped at her. "Oh. Well I don't know what you want me to say…"
Hanna continued to stare him down. She wasn't going to let Gabe be Wilden 2.0. "I want the truth. Did you kiss Alison?"
Gabe just remained silent while he stared at her. His teeth plunged into his lower lip. He just didn't know what to say.
Hanna rolled her eyes at him. "Well I'm waiting."
"Alison came to talk to me that night at the Ice Ball to plead Spencer's case." Gabe averted his gaze while he stared at Hanna's high heels. He couldn't believe how he forgot how beautiful she was. "When I told her that I couldn't discuss the case with her, she kissed me and then I pushed her away."
Hanna's cheeks became flushed. It was brighter than any red apple. "I didn't realize that."
He lunged a forward a little. Gabe was so close that his breaths were practically on top of Hanna. "So you see I'm not this bad person that you make me out to be."
Hanna hissed at him. "I never said that you were a bad person. I just can't help but have doubts."
He wove his arms together. "What more do you want Hanna? I gave you an explanation of why Alison and I were kissing."
She raised an eyebrow at him. "You still didn't answer my question about Cece Drake."
"I didn't help her escape from police custody but I wouldn't be surprised if someone did." He tugged at his tie in order to calm his nerves. He just had to give his hands something to do.
She twirled a strand of her hair. "I still don't get why Ali spoke to you in the first place."
Gabe let out a sharp pitch chuckle. "Isn't it obvious? She wants to get back in your friends' good graces."
Hanna sighed. "I think she killed Bethany Young and Mona."
His eyes bulged up. "I don't think she did."
Hanna snickered at Gabe. His naïve behavior was just too much. "Why? She's certainly capable of it."
"Ali has an alibi for the day Mona was murdered and also I've been working on something really big regarding Bethany Young. I haven't even told Lt. Tanner." His eyes were still fixated on her.
She stepped forward while her heels scraped the ground. "And what's that?"
He almost choked on his own breath. "It's complicated Hanna."
"Damn you Gabe!" Hanna expelled a loud scream. "I'm so tired of all the secrets and lies. And to think that I actually thought you were better than Wilden. Well at least he was too stupid to cause any real trouble. But you? You cause all the trouble in the world. You arrest my Mom and then Spencer. God! The cops in Rosewood are so fucking lazy."
Gabe opened his mouth only to expel a loud shrilling sound. "That's not fair and you know it. You're the one that played games with me Hanna, and while you might not have intentionally tried to hurt me, you still did."
Hanna growled at her former friend. "I have nothing to apologize for."
Gabe returned to his depressed silent state while he just continued to make eye contact with Hanna.
She stepped forward so that she was now invading his personal space. There was literally no distance between her and Gabe. "I want to know the truth Gabe. Why did you arrest Spencer? And what is the deal with Bethany Young."
He coughed into the sleeve of his buttoned down shirt. "Tanner wanted Spencer arrested…"
She raised her voice even louder, if that was even possible. "You still didn't answer my other question."
"I think Bethany Young is still alive," he spat out.
Hanna's jaw dropped. "What did you just say?"
Gabe didn't say anything. And neither did Hanna…
She was tired of fighting. Hanna pulled Gabe in for a kiss while her tongue massaged his mouth. They moved right in front of his desk while they maintained their lip lock. Hanna was now pressed up against the desk while Gabe hands fell under her dress and yanked her underwear down to Hanna's ankles. He pulled back from Hanna for a moment before his boxers and pants fell to his ankles. He looked at Hanna one last time. She nodded at him to proceed. Before she knew it he was maneuvering himself in and out of her while he alternated between kissing her neck and lips. It was right then and there that Gabe realized he had never been so grateful to lock his office door before.
