Work Text:
It was about 9 or 10 in the morning when Gabriel started to wake up. He was about to get up (even though he didn’t want to) but his movement was restricted by V1 clinging onto Gabriel. He nudged their partner slightly, getting V1 out of his sleep like state. V1 perked up and was slightly caught of guard, but happy to see Gabriel and showed that by nuzzling his face against theirs. Gabriel showed affection back by giving the top of V1’s head a peck. ”What time is it?” ”That doesn’t matter, you slept in a little bit and that’s fine.” Gabriel relaxed a bit but was still disappointed in himself that they slept in later than they’d like. He brushed it off and decided to allow it just for that day. “Can I make you some breakfast?” V1 said excitedly whilst looking up at Gabriel, waiting for a response. Gabriel laughed slightly at V1’s suggestion.
”I don’t see why not. What are you planning to make?” V1 thought about telling him for a split second but changed it's mind. “Surprise. Wait here.” He then rushed over to the kitchen and started prepping. For what exactly?… he didn’t know. So V1 grabbed a book of various recipes and skimmed through it, trying to find a good breakfast meal for his divine lover. Unfortunately non of them piqued it’s interest for he thought they were basic or just plain gross sounding. Then he got an idea. Maybe he could find a good recipe book in lust. Maybe there’s meal preparations for your lover there. So he dashed out of the house but stopped right when he got outside to pull out his phone and texted Gabriel.
BE RIGHT BACK. GETTING SOME STUFF.
What kind of stuff?
SURPRISE :)
As expected…so to help pass time Gabriel decided to read. Meanwhile back in lust, V1 was looking for a good recipe book not really paying attention to the titles and tried his best to skip past sections that were unimportant. Then it noticed the words “cream pie”. His optic locked onto those pair of words and looked through it more carefully to find instructions on how to make it. Gabriel likes pie, right?… V1 then threw the book at a nearby wall. Maybe there’s another book somewhere else.
V1 walked around more now skimming the titles…then he finally found a book that said “Recipes For Your Lover.” V1 quickly grabbed the book and skimmed through it, thankfully finding actually interesting recipes that weren’t gross or basic. But pretty much all of them included aphrodisiac…he’ll just not add them in the meal…or maybe for later. V1 mentally wrote down the whole recipe and put the book back in it’s original spot. V1 dashed and slid back home with confidence and satisfaction knowing that Gabriel will eat well.
After some time, V1 arrived home and excitedly started to grab ingredients and prep for breakfast…then he realized that they didn’t have all the ingredients. V1 franticly looked in every cupboard, drawer, pantry but non of the ingredients could be found. A loud and angry beep came from V1 and he started to kick various objects. “Is everything alright?” Gabriel asked with concern. “Everything’s fine. I’ll be right back again.” V1 then left the house hopefully for the final time. V1 was making crepes and it had pretty much everything except for strawberries, cream cheese, powered sugar and vanilla. Then he remembered that V2 and Mirage bake sometimes so maybe they have the right ingredients he needs. So V1 went back to lust and retraced his steps on how to get to the secret level. It ended up finding the entrance thankfully and when he got there, he walked around a bit trying to find Mirage’s house. V1 got lost quite a few times, but eventually he arrived there. V1 didn’t knock but instead just barged in. “Dude, is it that hard for you to knock?!” Vivian inquired angrily.
“It’s an emergency. I need stuff to make breakfast.”
“At…11:45?? I mean at this point just make lunch.” Mirage questioned.
V1 pretended not to hear Mirage. He then grabbed a nearby piece of paper and pen and wrote down the ingredients it needed. “Do you have any of these?” Mirage grabbed the paper and read it. “I have strawberries, vanilla, and cream cheese. I’ll have to get more powered sugar at the store.” Mirage got up from the couch and went to grab the things V1 needed. While Mirage was doing that, V1 walked over to Vivian and rested it’s arm on her head but was swatted away by them. “Sooooo…how’ve you and Mirage been?” “We’ve been doing good. What about you and Gabriel?” “I’m making them breakfast.” “It’s already way past morning.” “We slept in late. Gabriel needed the sleep.” “Ohh. Why didn’t you just say that earlier dumbass?!” “Shut up.” “No you.” The two began to say ‘no you’ back and forth to each other and kept doing that until Mirage returned back to the living room. “Ok here you go. Now get out.” Mirage said while handing V1 the bag of things. “Thanks for helping. Unlike someone.” Vivian then flipped of V1 and so did he.
V1 was nearly finished gathering ingredients, all he needed left was powered sugar. Meanwhile back at home, Gabriel sat there bored and wanted to know what V1 was up to. Plus he was also getting worried about him. So he went to go find him. Gabriel got out of his comfy clothes and changed into his armor before leaving the house, having no clue where to look or go to first. But then he realized he can just teleport to him so they did just that.
In the meantime, V1 was at a store searching for powdered sugar, sliding past isle after isle. Then in the corner of his optic, he notices a long dark isle with a sign above it reading ‘sugar’. V1 stops sliding and walks over, being met with bags after bags of sugar of various sizes and brands. But the majority of them were granulated or cubes. As V1 walked further and further down, the darker it got. V1 started thinking back to something wicked and started shaking slightly. But its fear was replaced with curiosity once it looked down at the floor and noticed that it changed from its original dirty white color, to yellow. Then, when V1 least expected it, Gabriel manifested right beside him, scaring the ever loving hell out of it. “Ah! My apologies, I wasn’t aware that you…were…where are you right now?” “At the store in the sugar isle but I’m not sure anymore.” V1 shifted itself closer to Gabriel for comfort. “Very well then… let us leave.” V1 looked down in disappointment, due to not being able to get the sugar to finish the breakfast it wanted to make for Gabriel. “It’s alright, V1, I’m not mad at you. You can make me breakfast another time.” Gabriel gave V1 a kiss atop his head to reassure their lover. “Now, which direction is the way out?” V1 turned around and pointed forward. “Wait, can’t you just teleport us out of here?” “Ah, yes.” Gabriel held V1 close to their side and tried to teleport away… but he failed to do so.
“My powers aren’t working…” V1 then grabbed Gabriel’s shoulders and shook him frantically. “What do you mean they’re not working?!?!” “I mean they’re not working! I don’t know what’s happening!” V1 let out an irritated whirr almost mimicking a sigh. “Let’s just walk out of here and see if we can teleport then” V1 held Gabriel’s hand and walked back to where he entered. After some time, V1 realized that they’ve been walking a lot longer than that wanted to and also noticed small piles of sugar on the ground. “Maybe I went the wrong way.” V1 and Gabriel turned around and were met with a faint yellow light in the distance. V1 immediately started running towards the light, hoping to exit the sugar isle with Gabriel following behind. As they ran, Gabriel glanced at the ground and noticed an increase of sugar piles in both amount and size. “V, are you certain that this is the right way?!” “Don’t know, don’t care. I just want to get out of the dark.” The two finally reached to the source of the light…it was a yellow room with piles of sugar and a woman sitting against a wall. She seemed dazed, tired yet energetic. She slowly looked up and V1 drew out it’s weapon with trembling hands.
”Oh? Are you my new dance partners? You seem a lot nicer than the scary duck I danced with once.” Gabriel and V1 were confused by her words. After a few seconds, Gabriel spoke up. “Excuse me, but is there a way out perhaps?” V1 still stood there with it’s gun pointed at the strange woman and optic locked onto her. “Blue one, you seem afraid… why? Maybe some sugar will help ease your fear. I’ll pay you handsomely with this powdered sugar. Or maybe try thinking of a nice field…yes, a field of flowers and butterflies…that’s quite nice.” The bag of powdered sugar caught V1’s attention. He cautiously lowered his gun and stopped shaking a bit. He slowly walked over to her, being prepared if she tries to do anything. As he got closer, he slowly reached it’s arm out to grab the powdered sugar. Once he had ahold of the bag he quickly backed away. “Thank you.” V1 said, still scared. “Thank you friends! Although I’m sad we did not dance. That’s alright though!” The woman waved goodbye and Gabriel waved back. The two turned around and began to exit the yellow room. “Wait! Before you go, will you say hello to Zacharie for me please?” V1 whipped it’s head around once he heard her voice, and did a thumbs up at the end of her request.
Gabriel began to walk forward, now being able to see the white store lights. Once they left the sugar isle, Gabriel’s powers started to function properly again. With that, Gabriel and V1 teleported back home at last. Standing in their living room, Gabriel looked down at their still shaken lover. “Are you alright?” Gabriel spoke in a gentle, reassuring tone while rubbing the side of V1’s arm. He nods.
V1 walks over to the counter and sets the ingredients down on the counter. “I’m sorry I didn’t make you breakfast.” Gabriel bent down and kissed V1. “You’re fine love, you can make me breakfast in the morning. Understood?” V1 nodded and took Gabriel to their bedroom. V1 changed out of his baggy shirt and pants while Gabriel changed out of their armor, both putting on comfortable clothes. Gabriel wore a nightgown of sorts and V1 wore an incredibly soft oversized hoodie. V1 leaped onto the bed, landing with a soft thud. Gabriel held in laughter and walked over to sit beside him. They then placed their hand on its head and rubbed gently with their thumb. V1 purred, nuzzling their optic against his hand; he then situated itself to where he rested its upper body on Gabriel’s thighs, melting into the cozy warmth of them. “Rest well, my love.” Then they both fell asleep.
At around 4 in the morning, V1 sneaked out of bed and into the kitchen to FINALLY make breakfast. V1 pulled up the recipe, carefully following each instruction to make sure it made it correctly while also being quiet to try and not wake up Gabriel. Then at long last, breakfast was finished. Perfect timing as well, for Gabriel had just woken up. V1 quickly set the food on the table and made it look nice before Gabriel exited the bedroom all the way. “Tadaaaa!” V1 presented the crepes proudly. “Aww thank you!” Gabriel sat down at the table next to V1. “Are you glad that you finally got to make me breakfast?” V1 nods enthusiastically, and leaned his head onto Gabriel’s shoulder as Gabriel enjoyed their breakfast.
