Locked to Gabe ONLY!

[thewolfinside]

Sitting on the steps, tugging at the sleeves of his shirt, Jason waits.

He'd made the reservations a week ago, at a very nice restaurant in Paris. Third floor private balcony, overlooking the Seine with a great view of the Eiffel Tower.

Yeah, stupid and sappy and romantic. Hopefully Gabe wouldn't think he was stupid for it.

He fiddles with the pinpoint, watching down the hall for his husband.

Dressed from head to toe in white, Gabe slipped out of the bedroom. Pausing to close the door before turning. Seeing Jason his eyes light up as he gives a little turn, the outfit the same as he'd worn to the trio's wedding.

"How do I look?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Gabriel's words don't register at first, stunned at the sight of the outfit. One he was sure had been burned or tossed after the wedding.

He finally nods, licking his lips before speaking. "G-good. Gods, you look good." He slowly stands, walking towards Gabe. He reaches out to touch him but stops and shakes his head.

"I touch you and we won't leave the house."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Gabriel grins broadly at that, quite aware of how he looks. Taking Jason's hand he tucks it neatly around his bicep, clicking his heels together.

"We can't have that. I didn't both dress up and do without to not go on this date." Grin broadening, eyes twinkling. "Shall we?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Closing his eyes and whimpering just a tiny bit, Jason tightens his hold on Gabe and pushes the button on the pinpoint.

Moment later, they appear in an alley near the restaurant. He nods toward the entrance and starts walking. "It's about half a block away. Only a short walk."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Smiling so wide, loving that Jason still, after all this time together, still feels that way about just seeing him. Nodding as he continued down the alley and out to the street.

Pausing, his eyes closed a minute. When they opened, they shined.

"Never came here with her. She hated it. Thank you." Turning, he lightly kissed Jason's cheek, purring under his breath.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Ducking his head and shrugs, grinning and blushing just the littlest bit when he answers. "I like it. I kinda like the museum and the cathedrals."

He turns them towards a hidden doorway of a very narrow establishment. Most wouldn't notice the tiny gold script written on the opaque glass door, even those who had the address tended to miss it.

Inside he gives their names to the maitre'd, not letting go of Gabe's arm as they're led up the stairs to their table.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Head held high, grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Pausing, he ducks his head down and kisses Jason's cheek once more.

"Everyone' staring. Thinking how lucky I am to be here with the handsomest man on the continent.' Said softly, teasing and yet his possessive hold belying how true the words were to him.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Sighing, relieved as they're led into a private room, giving in to the blush. "Damn you," he whispers, taking a seat at the table. Looking over at Gabe, he smiles. "More like they were wondering what the drop dead gorgeous guy in white was doing with me."

Ducking his head, he picks up the menu and looks over the choices. "Do you know french?"

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Points. So many points. He hadn't courted. Ever. This was fucking fun.

Taking his seat, eyes on Jason as he reached for his hand. "Yes, you. Handsome. Sexy. Ass you could bounce quarters off of you.' Okay, so maybe that lost points in the romance department.

"I know enough to say... I don't know how to speak this frenchie shit. Not going to cut it, is it?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

His smile grows broader as he squeezes Gabe's hand. "Thank you."

He looks helplessly at the waiter, trying not to laugh. "I don't suppose you have menus in English." He chuckles as the man grins and disappears. "I knew I should have taken something other than chem classes."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

"I took spanish. I can proposition you for nine different positions but can't ask for a drink of water.'

Grinning at that, tugging Jason's hand closer and kissing each knuckle.

"Tell me, might I be getting a goodnight kiss?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"Yo tengo un botela de agua." Letting the spanish roll off his tongue, grinning. "I did pick up a bit from 'Introduction to Spanish' before I transferred to a lab class."

Watches Gabe, his eyes soft, not looking away when the menus are brought. "Ask me after our walk, okay?"

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Taking his menu with his free hand, Gabriel smiles.

"I will certainly do that, Mister Schuyler."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Rolling his eyes, Jason refrains from sticking his tongue out at Gabe. He glances over the menu and quickly orders for himself.

Looking out the windows, he watches the lights start to come on around the city, the sky quickly growing dark.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Ordering, his eyes on nothing but Jason as they wait. The wine poured, the meal served. And still Gabe watches his husband.

"YOu ever think about us as little old men, still in love and doing the shit we do now? NOT the sex! Like the tanks and the cars and all of that."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"Yes. I think we'll spend the last days of our lives doing what we love. Spending time with each other, the pard, Ella. Being together, doing what we love. Like giving out the tanks and the cars and all of that."

Grinning, he leans over the table and kisses Gabe. "Including the sex."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Grinning at that, kissing Jason more than happily.

"Just... don't blame me for your broken hip, alright?"

Finding himself amused by that, taking Jason's hand once more, thumb rolling over the wedding band there.

"Love you, Jason."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"No blame for you." Smiling, nodding. "Love you too, Gabe."

Pulling away, he looks over the food and grins. "This better be worth what I'm paying for it."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

"Oh? You're paying?" Nibbling at his food but, oddly enough, he seems nervous. "So next date is one me?"

Grinning at that, pausing to sip his wine. "So what happens if you learn you don't like dating me?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"Yes, and if you want." He takes a bite of his chicken and moans quietly. "This is good."

Looking up, he smiles. "Considering I married you not long after the last date we had, I don't think you have anything to worry about."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

"hey. Never know. I mean being married to me is one thing. Dating is a whole nother ball of wax.' Smiling though, eyes bright with love and adoration.

"Sometimes? I wish we'd been on better terms when I arrived. Could have done this instead of going straight to bed together."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"Oh no, we won't like the same movies! Our lives together are doomed!"

Snickering as he reaches for a glass, then takes a sip. Pauses, staring at Gabe. "I needed it, needed you. The only difference better terms would have made is that I wouldn't have let you leave the next morning."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Gabe is silent a long time but there is a distant look in his eyes. Staring off into space, even as he talks as if he were truly seeing that other time and not the present.

"I'd wanted you a while. I mean, the Schuyler back in my world. He was Jean-Claude's pomme de sang so he was off limits to me. I know a lot of it was that but, you have this vitality that shows in every world you're in. It's this energy that just attracts like a moth to a brilliant and beautiful flame."

Slowly seeming to focus, looking at Jason. "I was in lust with the ideal of you before I came to the Nexus. But in a moment I feel in lust with you. In days in love. I didn't want to leave. Didn't want to do anything but curl up, bury my face into your hair and hold you forever. Thank you for giving me that. It's the one dream I've ever had that's come true. The best one."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

He carefully sets down the glass and picks up a roll, shredding it slowly to hide the shaking of his hands.

"You're welcome. Thank you for staying, for giving me a reason to believe in love again."

Looking up at Gabe, his eyes a bit teary. "I know I didn't love her, wanted to but I didn't. I couldn't. You changed that."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Reaching over, he takes both of Jason's hands in his. Silent, staring at his mate, his lover, his love, his world with eyes that gleamed in the low light. Tears.

"I love you, Jason. You. You are my heart, pup. My very soul."
