Yesss about the updates: I don't guarantee a daily upload since it really depends on how much I feel about writing, but I'll try to update as much as I can. I want to keep it rather regular, though I could probably update several times a day since I have so much time.

This time it's a guest who requested some 1 and 5 fluff (that would be CR and Gabe).

I'll try my best here while keeping it realistic!

He was not a late bloomer

When he first arrived at Resurgam, CR-S01 hadn't spared a thought for his future coworkers. He didn't intend to become their friend: he was here to perform surgery, nothing more and nothing less. It turned out the staff here was pretty intrusive and he soon found out he couldn't escape their sympathy. As soon as he had set food in the building he had become one of them, and they made sure he understood it.

He got familiar with the place quickly, and after Hank showed him the garden, the surgeon had made it his spot, going there whenever he needed to be alone and away from his very lively coworkers. He wasn't quite used to the noise and action, since for the previous eight years he had been alone in a cold cell and was denied any sort of human contact. Not only that, but he was incarcerated during his teens years, and never really enjoyed this moment of his life. It goes without saying he missed a lot of firsts during that time, and when he found himself having a so-called crush towards one of his coworkers, he was completely helpless.

Now, asking for advice would have been a good idea. It would, if it weren't for the fact he hadn't fallen for Maria or Tomoe, two pretty young ladies, but rather for Gabriel, who so happened to be an older male who had been once married and had a son. The odds of him returning his feelings were pretty low given the situation, and he never tried to act upon them; he was scared of the blatant and obvious rejection he would face. Even if he didn't show his emotions very much, he was still feeling them all the same; blame the cold cell for his lack of apparent empathy.

He quickly settled to bottling up and burying whatever he felt for the diagnostician, no matter how difficult it would be. Besides, he wasn't even sure why he was attracted to the other man in the first place. Perhaps it was his sheer intelligence; there was no way of denying he was brilliant, and although he had a tendency to act like an imbecile, CR knew there was incomparable knowledge behind his idiotic façade. Maybe what really drew him to the older man was his ability to act relaxed in the most dramatic situations, a trait he could associate with himself as well. Whatever the reason was, he had to stop all of this.

Eventually this proved being a task that was much more complicated than anticipated, because it seemed one couldn't just "fall out" of love with someone. In fact, trying so hard to achieve something was simply making it more difficult, and in the end he began showing painfully evident signs of his infatuation whenever he was in Gabriel's presence. Fortunately, he was usually meeting with him when others were here, and it gave enough distraction for the diagnostician to stop him from giving too much attention to CR. Gabriel's deduction skills, paired with the obvious signs he was showing would reveal his embarrassing situation in no time, and avoiding being alone with him was a precaution he had to take at all costs.

It worked for the most part, but it was only a few days later that his brilliantly foolproof plan was shattered. Spending time in the garden by himself to take care of the flower was something everyone was aware of him doing, and it would only be logical to go there if he was needed. With that information in mind, Gabriel went to deliver an envelope containing information on the patient he had diagnosed and needed surgery.

CR was sitting by the pond when he heard a voice call him, and immediately panicked when he recognized who it was. He briefly contemplated the idea of running away to disappear in the flowers, but it was a no go- he felt a firm hand on his shoulder, and the contact ruined every plan he had of escaping the situation he dreaded. He stood up and slowly turned around, avoiding eye contact. He really wasn't trying to help himself here, and the fact he knew Gabriel was carefully studying his body language to make something out of it was simply making him more desperate.

Avoiding visual contact, dilated pupils, obvious blush on the face and neck.

The hand on the surgeons shoulder smoothly slid up to his neck to rest on his pulse point, and at that moment he realized any hope of hiding the truth was trampled on. He sighed in resignation when the diagnostician removed his hand.

Heightened pulse.

This was it. He closed his eyes, not quite ready to hear the imminent indignation about how wrong all of this was and just how weird and abnormal he was. It wouldn't have been the first time he heard it either. A soft "hey" and the added weight of another hand on his other shoulder pulled him out of his train of thought heading directly to a gap in the rail, and he finally mustered the courage to open his eyes.

"It's alright. I don't mind it. I'd even say I'm flattered by the attention if it wasn't so creepy coming from me!"

The tone was soft and devoid of any malice. Before he could open his mouth to stutter out a single question that would probably have branched out in a hundred more, the other man was gone, and the only trace of his presence that was left was the firmly sealed envelope in his hand.

Whoa that was… easier than I thought? Sorry for the lack of kisses and hug, I just couldn't seem to fit anything like that in there.

In my mind, Gabe is just like… so tolerant of people it's not even funny. He doesn't care if you prefer cats over dogs, or if you love people of the same, different or of both genders, and he doesn't care if you wear sandals with white socks. I'm guessing he wouldn't mind it if another guy was gay for him or anything, he'd be like "aw yeah everyone loves me, and I love you too whoever you might be".

CR-S01 taking care of the garden with Hank is now canon in my head. So there might be lots of references to that particular trait.

Also a Sherlock BBC minor reference in there yaaay

I could've finished this chapter hours ago buuuut I get distracted so easily it isn't funny.

I was thinking of changing a bit the dice game, but I'm hesitant; it would still rely on luck, but it would also give the chance of some minor characters appearing. For now I'll stay with the requests and the two-dice-one-roll thing though.

See you guys next chapter! I love you all!
