Time: May 1st 2003
Place: Michael's room, 309
Status: Private (Gabriel, Michael, Raphael) - Complete
Summary: Gabriel heals Michael. Continued from here.
Amazingly, Gabriel didn't face any nightmares on the way back, though the battlefield was still there. Perhaps Primoris was focusing on something - or someone - else.
He managed to get up to Michael's room, rushing to the Warrior's bed and biting his lip at the sight. Gabriel had healed his palms and as much of the wounds in his chest and back as was possible, but he had needed to conserve energy to get to the Dreaming.
Something skittered past outside the door and he shivered, reaching for his sword. Nothing opened the door, however, and he turned back to Michael, touching one of the wounds on his chest gently and wincing.
Drawing a deep breath, he bent over Michael and concentrated on channeling all his power into healing the wound, and doing something about the incredible amount of blood loss. Sinews slowly knit together, blood cells replenishing themselves. He'd managed to break two ribs as well too, and Gabriel focused on carefully setting the bones. Michael would still be weakened, sore and have open wounds when he woke, but it wouldn't be so bad, at least.
Some time later, Gabriel finally allowed himself to rest. He'd done everything he possibly could for Michael; the intensive healing, combined with the nightmares from earlier and the sheer weariness, seemed to be tugging his eyelids down.
No. He had to keep watch. The nightmares were still there; something might enter the room...
Gabriel fought sleep for a while, but he was too drained, and his eyes slowly shut.

He started humming a tune in reflection to his mood and at the sight of Michael's bright halo Raphael's gentle smile broadened to a grin and he let out a laugh.
Oh how he loved his brothers.

Sigh.

Date: Friday, 2 July 2010 15:24 (UTC)He arched the denuded wings around himself slightly. They still ached, but he barely noticed it by now. "I pulled out the feathers myself."

Date: Friday, 2 July 2010 15:27 (UTC)"I promise not to touch your wings, but would you mind if I cleaned your back? Where the skin between them is?"
He felt his chest clench. Raphael had tried to hack off his wing but Gabriel's looked as if he had managed to nearly yank out all the beautiful feathers. The pink skin was raw and dotted with blood clots that he ached to touch and heal in the only way he could.

He smiled a little, only the barest curve of his lips, as he reached out to touch Michael's hand. "Thank you, too."
