The Monster
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
Spending a whole week at home had its perks. He loved having London at his disposal, his uncle nearby and it was even nice that his siblings hadn't completely ignored him the whole time. With all of that said, even with his addition to the fun, Cassidy, he was missing one thing. It wasn't just James that had mentioned his best friend, but even his grandmother had brought up the older, more volatile man.
It was silly for him to actually miss his best friend, but at the same time, Gabe had been the only person outside of London that Will had grown close to in his younger years. He supposed he loved the guy and all that. But mainly, he just wanted to make sure that Gabriel was missing him as much as Will was. He liked to pretend that Gabriel was wallowing and miserable for having not joined him in London. What with work and all, he kind of couldn't.
Will had excused himself from the family shenanigans, not even worrying about leaving Cassidy among them. Her and the twins were engulfed in each other anyway. When he dialed his number one guy, he couldn't help rolling his eyes at what he was doing. It was like a sappy movie where he actually gave a shit about his life and those who were in it.
The phone rang and he leaned against the wall in one of the corridors at the Hall. His foot was tapping against the wood impatiently.

On the one magical night of leave, Gabriel, tired from flying and driving and riding to and from recruits homes, liked to chill with a glass of bourbon and trashy reality TV shows. That it fell on Christmas Eve didn't really change his plans much. He knew Liana was going to be back in Los Angeles for the holidays so he couldn't visit his parents. His best friend Will was off in London with his family so Gabriel stayed home.
Even Daniel and Violet, his butler and cook, were sent back home to their families. Being alone was fine, Gabriel thought to himself. A little alone time was absolutely healthy.
Which was absolutely why he scrambled to grab his phone in his bedroom when the special ringtone blared through the apartment.
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so-
"Wilhelmina!" Gabriel shrieked into the phone. He might have been a tad drunk. "How are you, bibby?"

Will's eyes rolled even more when his best friend finally answered the phone. Unfortunately, Will could even imagine the ringtone that was playing before he answered. Gabriel was dramatic, a little on the odd side and much more affectionate than Will could ever see himself being with someone that wasn't Cassidy. He wasn't even that affectionate with his own blood.
He shook his head, and damned himself for smiling at the sound of Gabe's voice. "Can you not call me that? I thought we talked about this." And they had, at length, discussed the many nicknames Gabriel used on him. None of which were okay with Will. The worst, by far, had to be when his best friend called him William though. Not a nickname, but definitely condescending. "It's going alright. I'm not quite as pissed as you are though, luckily I still have my wits about me. Day off?" Gabriel deserved a day off to recuperate, and yet, Will didn't find getting sloshed all that recuperating. Although, he couldn't judge, after all alcoholism ran in the family.
"Eva and James both asked about you, it would appear you've made quite the impression on my family, fucker. They like you more than me."

Even through the phone Gabriel could hear Will's smile. In that brief moment, he felt a sickening tug in his stomach. He really did miss his best friend and it sucked that he would be telling Will he was going away again and this time a little more permanently. But until then...
"But it just suits you, Willy. You remember that old show Ugly Betty? That boss who was like Miranda Priestly? But more cruel? You're her! Wilhelmina!" Gabriel chuckled as he landed on his bed on his back. "Oh who is more pissed than I am now?" He responded blissfully before replying to Will's question with a non-committal sound from his throat.
"I'm almost at the end of Real Housewives. That bitch called that cunt a very bad word and everyone overreacted." Gabriel gasped dramatically, like the premise of the episode was such a surprise.
Knowing Will's family asked about him made him giddy and he giggled over the phone. "Everyone likes me more than you. That's our thing." He grinned widely. "And besides, you're a little bitch and I'm absolutely pleasant and charming and handsome and virile. It's like...why even bother competing with me?" By then, Gabriel's words were slurring into each other. "But Willy...I love you more than me. Doesn't that count?"

The Monster

Willy. Again with the nicknames. This time he ignored it and let his best friend ramble on about nothing. Will did not watch the awful television that Gabriel did. Nor did he try to keep up with anything that was happening on the shows that Gabe had mentioned. Ugly Betty? Real Housewives? Miranda Priestly? He had no idea what his friend was going on about. It was best to just let him go and wait until Will could find an opening to get a word in.
"Sounds enthralling, Gabe. Really," Will said in a monotone, his head shaking the tiniest bit. He glanced over his shoulder, down the hall and he could hear everyone laughing. It was so strange to have an actual family now. His uncle, his grandmother and both of his siblings. Not to mention a girlfriend. Back when he'd first met Gabriel, he couldn't have fathomed this life for himself. And if he hadn't had Gabe, he wasn't sure he'd have had this life.
Will snorted, and laughed shortly, "You've always been a catty drunk, ya know that? You might be pleasant and charming, but I've always had that sexy mysterious thing going for me. Not my fault that you're easy and I'm not." Because Will couldn't just be nice to his best friend, oh no. That wasn't their style. His words slurred together more and Will gagged on the other line, "Oh for the love of God stop. You're getting your sap all over me. Fucking girl." He still smiled though because he knew that Gabriel, underneath all of the alcohol, was serious. "How drunk are you? I just want to make sure if I say anything incriminating, you won't remember it." Like that he missed his best friend.

He knew for a fact that Will didn't understand a word he was saying. Frankly, Gabriel wasn't entirely sure he knew what he was saying. But words were just pouring out of his mouth, as always, because he was drunk. Will's disinterest made Gabriel snort and he brushed it off, like he always did.
"Em...Will...you and sexy don't go together. It's like saying a cat is sexy when it's licking it's ball sack. It's not sexy, Will, is what I'm saying."
He rolled his eyes as he rolled on the bed over to his front, scooching up the bed so his head was on his pillow. He rested his phone against one ear and closed his eyes. "I have the memory of an elephant, bitch. Whatever you say Imanna rememer. Rember. Remeremer. Merember. Yes. Imanna merember. So suck it."

"You're a bloody knob, Gabriel. A penis is what I'm saying," He mocked his best friend, although he knew it was of little use. He was pissed, there was no way he'd give a rat's ass what Will said to him at this point. Will was definitely wondering now if the man would remember their conversation.
Based on the struggle to assure Will that he would, Will was fairly certain that he wouldn't. It wasn't like he planned on saying anything about the illness or his impending death, but something small like 'I miss you' was bound to be blown out of proportion and Will didn't want him to remember it so that he wouldn't have to hear about it for the rest of his life. Gushy things weren't this Brit's particular forte. Being a smart ass was much easier.
"Sounds like you already are sucking it, bub. Maybe I should call you back, after you get the dick out of your mouth and speak coherently," He smirked and shook his head.

"Oh you mean you want mine? Why didn't you say so? I'm totally up for a threesome with your lady love!" Gabriel chuckled as he settled into bed. He would never admit it to any living soul but having Will talking him to sleep was absolutely comforting. Especially since they sort of lived in two worlds now.
He sighed dramatically when Will made the comment and he went quiet for awhile before moaning through the phone.

"Watch yourself, Gabe. You're entering dangerous territory talking about my girl," Will spoke low into the phone, careful not to lose his mind on a very drunk and stupid Gabriel. Of course this was natural for them, but the thought of Cassidy and the threesome thing, it seriously disturbed him. "I'll fucking cut it off."
After a moment, Will realized that his best friend was hardly paying him any mind. And when the breathing became steady and heavy, he knew that he was having a one-sided conversation now. At least he didn't have to worry about the words that came out of his mouth next. "Good talking to you, bub. Sleep tight, wanker, I miss you a shit ton." With a short laugh, Will pulled the phone from his ear and ended the call.

Gabriel gave out a guttural chuckle and didn't say anything else. Even in his inebriated state, he knew when Will was being serious. It was refreshing though, hearing Will being so protective over someone else. Gabriel had spent so many years convincing Will to be with someone and the guy got one all on his own.
He was half asleep when he heard Will's voice coming back and he smiled sleepily. "Miss you too, buddy." He mumbled after the call was disconnected.
Gabriel fell to sleep almost immediately afterwards.
