You and the boys had just gotten back from a bad ghoul hunt. You didn't get to a little boy in time and the ghoul killed him. You sat there on the couch in the bunker living room after the boys went to bed. You felt numb. Your thoughts going a mile a minute. So loud in your own head, you didn't hear the flap of wings when Gabriel appeared beside you. As soon as you felt his arms around you the damn broke. You clutched his jacket tight as hard sobs escaped your lips.
He just held you and let you cry it out. He would kiss the top of your head and rub your back every now and then and whisper something sweet here and there. He made sure you knew he was there for you. When the sobs died down and you felt a little better Gabriel moved you away enough to cup your face in his hands as he wiped away the tears on your cheeks. "It wasn't my fault right Gabriel?" you asked. The broken tone of your voice hurt him.
"Y/N," he said gently, "no it was not your fault. I know you and I know you tried everything you could to save the boy, but sometimes bad things just can't be stopped,".
"I love you, Gabriel," you said. He smiled and gave you a soft peck on the lips.
"I love you too Y/N," he said as he snapped his fingers and a blanket appeared over you two, "Now I want you to snuggle up with me and rest,". You happily gave in and drifted off to sleep in your archangel's safe embrace.
