Imagine: Gabriel visiting you in the hospital.
Summary: Gabriel visits the girl he loves in the hospital hoping today will be the day she wakes up.
It was around midnight when the nurse turned down the lights and left the patient's room. She never noticed the shadow standing in the corner. Gabriel walked over to the bed and gently laid his hand on her hand as he looked down on the human he had fallen for. He stroked her light brown hair wishing she'd open her beautiful brown eyes. He had met Anisette Williams about seven months before her accident. He had walked into this little bakery for some mini cupcakes and she was working behind the counter. They hit it off pretty quickly and the archangel soon found himself falling for her.
He kissed her lips softly. "Hello sugar," he greeted, "will tonight be the night you wake up for me?" he asked, but knew there would be no answer. He half smiled sadly. "Ready for our date?" he said as he placed his hand on her head.
Anisette opened her eyes and found herself standing just outside a horse stable. She looked down and noticed she was wearing a white dress with roses printed on it.
"Heya sugar cookie," she heard a familiar voice say. She turned around and flashed a big smile.
"Gabriel!" she ran to him and hugged him tight. He hugged her tight too not wanting to let go, "what are we doing here?" she asked.
"I know you like horses, so I figured we could visit some," he said.
"Always a sweetie," she said. He wiggled his brows in that flirty, cute way he always did and pulled her into a small, soft kiss. She grabbed his hand and they hurried inside the stable. They spent an hour just going around and petting and feeding the horses. The smile on her face made it worth it to him. She came to a little horse that was black and white with a black and blonde mane and tail. "She's so pretty," she said as the horse neighed, "Wish I could understand her,".
"As you wish my love," the archangel said and snapped his fingers.
"You're so pretty!" the little horse said as she nuzzled her cheek. The big smile on Anisette's face made a big smile appear on Gabriel's face.
"Want an apple?" she asked the horse.
"Yes please, I'm starving," Anisette giggled and feed the horse.
"So do you wanna stay here or see the next place I wanna take you?" he asked. She hugged the horse goodbye and took Gabriel's hand. "Close your eyes," he said and she did. She heard him snap his fingers. "You can open them now," he said. She did and gasped. They were in a beautiful garden. Small flowers and plants of vibrant colors were everywhere, but the part she loved most was all the butterflies around.
"Wow," she said as a small group fluttered by.
"Do you like it?" he asked hugging her from behind.
"I love it," she said as a small dark blue butterfly landed on her hand. He smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Why such a special date?" she asked.
"So I could apologize," he said.
"For what?" she said turning to look at him.
"Anisette, I'm so sorry," he said, "I should have been there. I should have answered the plea you were sending faster,".
"What do you mean?" she asked confused.
"Anisette," he said placing his on the side of her head, "Please sweetheart, please wake up,".
"Gabriel, I don't understand what you're saying," she said. Suddenly she gasped and Gabriel found himself back in the real world again. He was confused until he heard another gasp. He looked to see Anisette with her eyes wide open.
"Anisette?" he asked and she looked at him. Soon doctors came in to check on her. She was soon unhooked from all machines and tubes and sitting up. It was almost like she was never in a coma. Gabriel walked in.
"Sir may I ask who you are?" the nurse asked.
"I'm her boyfriend," he said. Anisette nodded and the nurse smiled and walked out. Gabriel walked over and hugged her.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"I feel fine," she said, "great in fact,".
"Anisette," he started, "I am so sorry,".
"For what?" she said.
"I should have been there to protect you," a tear slid down his cheek, " should have been there to stop the car,". She pulled him into a hug.
"Gabriel sweetie," she said softly smoothing her hand up and down his back, "it's not your fault,".
"I heard your plea," he said, "but by the time I got there,"
"Shh," she said as she pulled him away enough to caress his cheek, "It's not your fault,". He smiled a little and gave her a soft, slow kiss.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you too Gabriel," she said, "You know I had the strangest dreams while I was out,".
"What do you mean?" Gabriel asked.
"Every dream I had was a different date with you," she explained. She saw that mischievous smile of his appear.
"What?" she asked.
"That was me," he admitted, "I've been visiting when I can and using my mojo to have dates with you. Hoping one would wake you up,".
"So the picnic dinner on a boat, the ballroom dancing, and the talking horse was all you?" she asked.
"Guilty," he said with a wink. She gave him a peck on the cheek and rested her head on his shoulder.
"You do know we have to have some of those dates for real right?" she asked.
"As you wish sugar cookie," he said as he kissed the top of her head.
