Gabriel on the other hand, was a sucker for physical contact specifically because he'd missed out on it in Heaven so much. If it was someone he trusted, someone he cared about, there was going to be touching involved.

He also likes how quietly bold Michael can be. Sure, he looks reserved and at times a little unsure, but if you asked the right questions, that decisiveness was an absolute turn on. Which is probably why Gabriel leans in close to meet him.

"Ditto on both counts." And with that, he closes the distance to kiss him again.
