I completely missed when this was posted! Gabe/Gerard is the pairing of my heart!!

This is perfectly charming!! The Gerard characterisations is wonderful. I love the way his reactions to Gabe reveals how much he's changed and grown over the years and his suprised laugh when he realises it. And Gabe is just the right mix of charming and snarky.

I also totally loved the way you describe Gerard the morning after. How warm and comfortable he is and how much he enjoys the slight soreness. It tells us everything we need to know about the night before.
