Artimes stared back at his watch...it was 3:30 in the morning...3:30, 'I should be home, in my bed...asleep...like...a normal kid.'

'What the HELL are you doing here, again...' he thought to himself. Then he looked back up...back up to Gabriel's window. This is where he found himself every single night, every night when his mind wouldn't stop running, but in the end his thought always lead back to...

He chuckled...'Well you can officially call yourself a stalker now." he rolled his eyes. Sometimes Artimes didn't know what to do with himself. He sighed, gazed back up to Gabriel's window and turned around back in the direction to his house. Artimes had already come to terms that he was gay and had the biggest crush on his best friend. He walked along the sidewalk with the moon on his shoulder, letting his mind wander back and forth, back and forth, conflicting with itself. "Leons was rather well...gay...Well...everyone knew THAT. It wasn't that hard to figure out him defining the word tranny to a T and all.((oh and dating Nathaniel, who was in fact a guy)) Azraels dating Cain, though I can't understand WHY...maybe Gabriel is..." A false hope fluttered through his body.

He felt himself crash into something and the cold cement and a sharp pain in his foot. "OW. What the Fuc---" He looked up...

"Ga...Gabriel ??"

Gabriel looked down..

"Artimes ?!?" He quickly went to help him up.

Artimes felt heat rise to his face as his hand made contact him, he pushed him self up.

Wrong move. He winced as a pain struck through his foot, up his leg and through his spine. The next thing he knew he was in Gabriel's chest.

He was definitely blushing now, bright red.

Gabriel blushed, he really didn't know how to react to this, he wanted to wrap his arms around him and ask him if he was alright but...

'Oh MY god. Never again will I go barefoot on a midnight stroll.' Artimes thought as embarrassment flooded through him.

"Oh gosh, are you alright ??" he could here the concern in Gabriel's voice.

Artimes steadied himself, stood up straight and smiled, "Of course."

Gabriel's heart fluttered. 'Oh, look at that smile."

It appeared to hit them at the same time. That the two of them were out at what could be considered 4 o'clock in the morning on a school night.

"What are you doing out at this hour ?" They inquired in unison.

"Uh...I needed some air, couldn't sleep you know the whole deal" Artimes answered a tad to quickly.

"yeah, me too."

Silence.

Artimes decided to break it. "Want...me to walk you home ?"

"Oh No, I'm fine, you should get home yourself, it's a farther walk to your house from here and we have school tomorrow."

"Alright then, well I guess I'll see ya in the morning."

'...I love you...' is the only words Artimes never told Gabriel...and probably would never get too.

"See ya."

As Artimes walked home the only thing he could think of was the beautiful smile on Gabriel's angelic face.
