Gabriel | Your best friend

You were sitting in your room in the evening, on your bed, wrapped in a blanket, with a laptop on your lap.

There were exams coming up in a couple of weeks, and you were diligently preparing for them. you have always taken your studies seriously, unlike some of your peers. and one of these peers was Gabriel. He never took his studies and exams seriously, often skipped or ran away from classes, but he always found time to visit you during school breaks, giving you sweets, coffee or just a funny trinket as a gift.

Gabe always protected you from the stupid bullies who picked on you (and then they sat in the backyard of the school and you bandaged your best friend's wounds after a fight with the bullies and put a cold bottle on his bruises, chastising the guy for his recklessness), although you They could easily figure it out themselves without anyone’s help.

you were reaching for a cup of tea standing nearby when you heard some strange sounds outside the window and a knock on the window. You frowned a little confusedly, thinking it was just a bird, but as the sounds continued, you decided to check what it was.

rising out of bed, going to the window and opening the curtains, you didn’t see any bird, but when you looked down, you saw Gabriel in the rain and pretty wet, standing under your window with a bouquet of daisies in one hand, and in the other he was holding a small pebble. and when the guy saw you, a wide, satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to happily wave to you.

you opened the window and put on your best displeased face, crossing your arms over your chest although a pleasant warmth spread through your chest at the sight of that joyful boyish smile on your best friend’s face. “What are you doing here?” you asked grumpily, looking at Gabriel whose clothes were completely wet due to the rain and he himself was shaking slightly, to which the guy just chuckled.

"just decided to check on my favorite bookworm, princess." Gabe said, moving closer to the window, already about to climb up the pipe into your room as he had done many times. “Will you let me inside?” he asked with a cheeky grin on his face, although it was more of a rhetorical question.
