It's very difficult to be jealous of your father for banging your mom when you're an archangel of the lord. But brothers and father figures he can do, and transferring his own feelings about Michael down the line had always been so very easy with Gabriel. Not that that was exactly what this entailed, but it was wound up in all those complex neuroses none the less.
He'd still successfully got his hug, though, which was an advantage. So was the opportunity to explore Gabriel's mouth at will, which he took full advantage of. Power, anticipation--a shiver of his wings that sounded more like the rustle of a million silver bells. His hand released Gabriel's jaw, moving down to instead pluck open the buttons of his shirt.
Corrupting an angel really wasn't the same thing. But he'd begun this in the very beginning, fraying at the perfect edges of another of his father's sons, loving Gabriel; protecting him; but twisting him too, giving him the independent spirit that Lucifer had fought to develop all on his own. Now those chickens were coming home to roost. If anything was a betrayal of their design, then this had to be it.
