The license plates had long ago been stolen off all of them; they brought a nice price in some rings, after all. The buildings were stripped down to iron and concrete and brick; nothing but rot remained inside… And nothing but rot was what the people who lived here where, as far as more polite society was concerned. Unfortunately, Gabe couldn’t afford to laugh at that, because he wasn’t that polite society. Definitely not polite society. But he didn’t care right now, because he had to get home. He hadn’t been home in more than a year, but he knew who lived there and he knew he had to find him or else those people with the ties and the stun-guns would find him first, and that would never be good. He wasn’t in as deep as Gabe was… but being associated was shit enough. His brow furrowed in concentration, trying to remember the exact number of buildings he had to pass, the exact alley he had to turn down, the exact window he had to jump through… The apartment building itself was in shambles, but the small space he took as a home was kept neat enough while he was there. It had been over a year ago, and he wondered how it was now. Licking his lips, he bound up the rickety stairs that groaned in protest under his weight three at a time. Gabe was boundless, going full-tilt, scared out of his mind and adrenaline replacing his blood for those few minutes it took to reach his door. His old door. Never mind the nostalgia; Gabriel didn’t even knock. He kicked the thing down without hesitation, knowing that time was vital at this point. They were both going to run out sooner or later, but likely sooner, and he wasn’t going to fiddle around with formalities like a door. words, 000. tags, LeviLevinotes, - - - credits, kiwii at btn!

The apartment had never been that good to begin with, it had just been something that the other had carved out of the abandoned sector, but it had worked. He had come to the apartment as a petty thief, looking for nothing more than a few coins or some food to keep on going. The boy had never expected to be caught, he never expected to become friends with his victim, to let something so physical join the two together. It hadn’t been right, but at the time Levi didn’t mind. He had allowed himself to be consumed by the other, to fall prey to the physical and emotional constraints of their relationships. That was the kind of relationship that had started years ago and then suddenly his companion was gone, he just went and disappeared into thin air. How long had it been? It had to have been close to a year since Gabriel had disappeared and left the young man to his own devices. He couldn’t remember why he kept coming back here, not when the eighteen year old was slowly moving on. Levi worked, ran around the city as he pleased and now... the blond didn’t understand it, but he thought he was falling for someone and the thought scared him. Maybe there was some part of him that believed the older blond would still come back for him. He seemed to be taking care of Levi even though he had gone away, rent was paid and for the most part everything seemed to be okay. Sure maybe the apartment had become a little run down and sitting in the living room Levi could see what he needed to clean up, but that was for another day. The eighteen year old had already spent most of the day cleaning, doing laundry, making the place at least somewhat liveable before going back to work. They would be expecting him and the Jolteon Gijinka was more than sure he had tons of paperwork awaiting him at the base. Letting out a soft groan in protest, he slowly pushed himself to his feet and grabbed his zip-up hoodie and headed for the door only to be greeted with a violent bang. He let out a startled yelp, jumping to the side and hid behind a wall as fragments from the door sprayed throughout the roof. The eighteen year old just hid, covering his pretty little head. What the hell was this? He was being attacked again! Levi let out a soft growl as he peeked around the corner, instantly stopping when a familiar face befell him. “G-gabe... what the fuck is wrong with you?” The eighteen year old scowled quickly, staying behind the wall to hide the fact he was shaking. “I thought someone was trying to rob this place. I could have killed you!” [/style]

He didn’t even remember if he still had the keys to the place or not, but he was sure he hadn’t set foot within the concrete walls in a little less than a year. But none of that mattered right now. If Levi wasn’t home, he’d be in damn trouble, and not the kind that let you go with a slap on the wrist. Why oh why had he thought it a good idea to let the kid live with him in the first place? But when the dust began to clear, he could see that the apartment was a mess. No; beyond a mess. When he was still living here, his meowth DNA had made him finicky, and he cleaned endlessly. It hadn’t been perfect, but it had been clean and now… well, it wasn’t. The thought of the state of the place was a flicker in his mind; blue eyes scanned the place quickly, running over everything, and searching for only one. The voice immediately took up all his attention, and he swore that if he turned his head any faster, he’d get whiplash. Relief washed over him like a wave, and he sighed, letting his shoulders drop. Levi. It was Levi, and he seemed to be alright. Nobody had gotten to him yet, and he’d be alright. Gabriel sighed, running his fingers through his hair, brushing his trademark red hood back. Safe. For a little bit. ”Well hello to you too, kid.” Always ‘kid’, even if he was fully aware that Levi was eighteen and legal… mostly. His heart still pounded in his ears and his adrenaline was going insane; one look at his pinpoint pupils would tell anybody that. He was ready to bolt and take Levi with him at a second’s notice, but he didn’t want to scare him too badly… ease him in. ”How’ve you been?” words, 000. tags, LeviLevinotes, - - - credits, kiwii at btn!

The eighteen year old squeaked out, his voice fighting him, giving away just how much Gabriel had frightened him. “It’s been one year and that’s all you can say?” Levi narrowed his eyes, a deeply upset look set on his face as he slowly revealed himself from his hiding spot. He was shaking beyond belief, but the boy was doing his best to hide his immediate fear. Sticking his hands behind his back the eighteen year old cautiously approached the man who had disappeared for nearly a year now, still awestruck that after all this time the man had almost nothing at all to say. What the hell was that? All the young man wanted to do was stand there and curse him out, but his body would have none of that. Emotions welled up in the pit of his stomach as he ran towards him on shaky legs, burying his face into Gabe’s chest as the tears began to fall. He sobbed loudly, a balled up fist hitting Gabe’s chest as he let himself go. “I hate you,” Levi cried out, his voice muffled by the older Gijinka’s body. “You stupid bastard, why... why did you have to leave?” The eighteen year old had never understood why the man left in the first place, but when he disappeared it had been utterly devastating to the blond boy. Now that Gabriel had returned, the best boy could do was scream and cry, his body overwhelmed with emotions that he could barely comprehend in his current state. He wanted the man to hug him, he wanted to be told everything was going to be okay even if the world was going to come crashing down around them. Ever since he had left home, the older man had been the one to look after him and while he was a part of something much bigger than himself it didn’t mean that Team Rocket was capable of making everything better. If anything, his life was more confusing than when he had first met Gabriel. There was Oliver and all of his ridiculous shenanigans like getting drunk at the bar with the boys and then setting him up on a date with Arthur. Levi hadn’t been sure how he felt about that one, but for some reason the very thought of Arthur made his stomach flutter with nervousness. But there was no time for that, this was more important and eventually the teenager looked up at Gabe with tear stained eyes, his lip quivering as he spoke. “Why didn’t you take me with you?” [/style]

He looked… small. And he was shaking, though it seemed that he was trying to suppress it. What did he say? It hadn’t been much, but had that been enough of a trigger? Or maybe it was a lack of something else to say. In truth, the blond really didn’t know; he’d never been put into a situation like this before. He’d never quite left someone for almost a year, only to appear again with a kick to the door. In the past, once he left, he’d been gone for good. Only this time, he’d come back. It had been terrifying; the circumstances that forced him to return and retrace and find that old door again. It wasn’t safe here anymore, which meant Levi was definitely in the line of fire now. Speaking of the kid, next thing he knew, he’d buried his face in his chest, balling his fingers into the red fabric of his hood. And honestly, out of all things, he wasn’t expecting the dam to break. Teenage boys had their pride and refused to cry, as far as he’d been concerned. Obviously, this wasn’t one of those cases. Levi seemed to completely lose it, and Gabriel couldn’t help but flinch back a little when he practically screamed that he hated him. He knew it was one of those caught-in-the-moment things, but… had he messed up again? Near immediately, Gabriel wrapped his arms around the smaller boy and buried his nose in his hair. Everything would be alright. He wanted to tell him everything would be alright. He wanted to explain everything that happened, if only to make the hurt go away. Explain away those months he was away, hiding in fear that one day, he’d spot a red dot on his forehead and it’d all be over. He wanted to explain to him that if he’d taken him, it would only make things worse. But how could he? There were horrible things out there and, though nobody liked to admit it, sometimes the people in the high end district could do so much worse than those in the slums. Gabriel had no time. ”Levi, I’m sorry.” And he was. He honestly, truly was. Gabriel ran his fingers through the boy’s hair, unsure of how to even start soothing him. They couldn’t stay here long, though. ”I’m back now… but we’re not safe.” words, 000. tags, LeviLevinotes, - - - credits, kiwii at btn!

The teenager just continued to sob as Gabriel wrapped his strong arms around the smaller boy, taking small comfort being held by the male that had abandoned him just under a year ago. A long time ago he had promised himself that he would never cry, like any other boy he was much too proud for that crap, but when he saw him he just snapped. Everything came out like a giant flood, taking over every inch of his delicate frame as he’s balled up fists clutched the soft red fabric of his companion’s hoodie. He was struggling to control his breathing, his body trembled with fear as he fought to regain control of his own body. Nothing was helping, not even Gabriel’s fingers gently brushing through his hair. The older male had come home, but why did it hurt so much? “I was all alone,” Levi cried, continuing to stare up at him. “I... I was so scared and when you finally come back,” He couldn’t even finish his sentence, the teenager was too upset. He knew they had to get a move on, Gabe sounded urgent but his body refused to move on its own, not until the eighteen year old calmed down. “W-what did you do?” The young blond couldn’t even imagine what the man would have done to get himself in trouble. Sure he had the occasional fight with Oliver, but he managed to hand his paper work in on time and... nothing ever seemed wrong. What was going on? What had Gabriel gotten himself into that would have the boys running out of the apartment in a panic? He swallowed the lump in his throat, his throat becoming raw from all his crying and eventually he was reduced to dry sobs. What in the hell was he supposed to do? Gabriel said they needed to leave, but the man had only just got back. Levi was shaking beyond belief and unfortunately the young man didn’t know if he’d be able to run. “I don’t think I can run,” He was paralyzed with fear. [/style]

Marks against him, the lack of trust and treachery that came with it… all strikes that would put him at less leverage, but he was helpless to do anything about it. He’d promised to help Levi and then he left him. At the time, it had been for his own good… but dragging him into this mess was probably not a good idea in the first place. Gabriel had only wanted to help, but like so many other times, had failed. There was that familiar feeling coming in the center of his chest again; tight, suffocating. Guilt. He didn’t like it, but knew it well. ”I’m sorry I scared you… I’m sorry for everything.” Gabriel continued to stroke the boy’s hair, hoping to calm him down, if only a little. His crying had reduced to shallow, dry sobs and he was leaning so heavily on him. What could he do? More little whispers of apology, soothing fingers running through his hair and hopes that nobody would come bursting in right at that moment. But now he had to explain, because Levi deserved to know, after all he’d been put through. He could perhaps linger here a bit longer, but if he still couldn’t run by then, Gabriel wouldn’t have much of a choice but to carry him. For now, though, they needed some rest… adrenaline and trauma took up a lot of energy, and all they needed was to sit down. As slowly as he could, trying not to startle the boy, Gabriel sat down cross-legged on the ground and pulled Levi into his lap. It reminded him of when he was so much younger… even though it wasn’t too long ago. Less than a year, and he’d grown and changed, while Gabriel was still stuck in place. ”Just rest for a bit… then we’ll go.” A tight hold on him, keeping him from the edge of panic. ”It isn’t Team Rocket, if you’re worried about that.” words, 000. tags, LeviLevinotes, - - - credits, kiwii at btn!

The pain of losing someone so close to him was utterly devastating, it felt like a white hot blade had pierced his stomach, spilling his guts for everyone to see. In a sense the young man had become hollow on the inside, one of the few people he cared about had disappeared without a goodbye and had left the blond to fend for himself. At seventeen years old, how on Earth was he supposed to survive by himself? It had been a living hell for the Jolteon Gijinka, the only thing that kept him from popping a bullet through his head was the small hope that maybe one day Gabriel would return and save him. Sure he had his work, Oliver, and others in his life that he would do anything for, but the eighteen year old doubted he would be able to handle the pain of losing someone else and in his mind it seemed better to take the easy way out instead of suffering all the heartache and emotional wounds that came along with living in this filthy city. Levi felt like he was surrounded with a thick armor, years of pent up emotion surrounding the boy and creating an impenetrable fortress that let nothing in. The apologies were nothing more than a drug to Levi, like morphine, just taking it all in to numb the pain, but when the words wore off everything would come back twofold and once again he would be forced to live within his own personal hell. There were so many others that sought to break down those walls to stand beside him and tell him everything was going to be okay even if the world was crumbling around them. It terrified Levi, why would someone put so much effort in just to talk with some bratty kid like himself? Arthur was one of the few people that he thought about almost constantly these days. The younger blond was sweet, maybe a little smug at times, but it made his appeal stand out so much more. In this city it had become an arena for Darwinism, survival of the fittest. People only knew how to take care of themselves these days and if Levi hadn’t done the stupid things he did he would have never met such wonderful people like Gabriel of Arthur. It was almost disgusting how the other’s touch had become like an addiction to the eighteen year old. He craved the physical contact, being embraced by another who would just hold him for hours and whisper that everything was going to be okay. It was selfish of him and he knew it, but after so long the young man felt that he at least deserved some attention. Levi was a complete mess and while he had been reduced to dry, pathetic sobs it was still obvious the kid was in no state to be moving anywhere. And while his thoughts had strayed to Gabriel being in some sort of trouble with obviously that wasn’t the case as the older man had quickly silenced any worried thoughts his young roommate may have had. He wasn’t even sure what he would do at this point, anyone could come bursting through that door guns a blazing and the only thing the eighteen year old could think of doing was electrocuting every single person that came crashing through that door until there was a pile of burnt carcasses laying at his feet. In the quiet of the apartment, any noise was likely to set the eighteen year old off and when Gabriel began to move, he freaked out. The floorboard squeaked underneath Gabriel’s shifting weight which caused the smaller blonde to panic, his body crackled with energy as he expected an attacker to come through the entrance way. Except no one came through and all Gabriel had done was sat down on the hardwood floor before pulling his companion onto his lap and held him close. He was curious to know what had made the older man feel so insecure, so frightened that they had to run from the apartment. His fingers clutched weakly at the red sweater as he looked at Gabriel before reiterating his first question. “Gabriel, what did you do?” His voice was shaky, uneven as he struggled to overcome the raw fear that tore through his body like a wildfire. Levi had never been one to question orders, but this was different, he was being told to abandon everything again in lieu of some unknown evil that seemed to be stalking the other Team Rocket member. The eighteen year old just couldn’t get up and walk away without knowing what was going on, he needed to know what happened before anything could be done. He wanted to scream at Gabriel for abandoning him, leaving him to rot in this prison with nothing left to comfort his twisted and bleeding soul. Levi was vulnerable, he knew it and Gabe knew it. There was nothing the kid could do except cry and that only proved how pathetic he was, he wanted comfort, he wanted to be held and told sweet promises of better things to come tomorrow. Tilting his head upwards the young man continued to stare at his companion before wrapping lanky arms around the other’s neck and pulled him down for a deep kiss. “I hate you,” he muttered softly as he pulled away, wiping his wet cheeks. “You promised everything was going to be okay and then you left!” If anything the kid had sounded like a wounded puppy waiting for its master to return and take care of him. It felt like it, Gabriel had promised to look after him but how was he supposed to trust the man after he disappeared like that? Night after night loving words were whispered into his ear amongst a flurry of moans and passion that swooped the pair up, relieving them of their worry and guilt just long enough to allow themselves to become caught up within the moment. It was something the eighteen year old longed for, not living in this constant fear that someone could simply slit their throats in their sleep. He tried to turn around and face Gabriel, his legs on either side of the man’s waist as he starred up at him, a mix of hurt and confusion plastered across his delicate face as the small blond resisted the urge to cuss his partner out. He was here, that was all that mattered, but it didn’t stop Levi from raising his fist and trying to punch Gabriel in the face. [/style]

He remembered that he had a bag slung over his shoulder and his red hood up; follow me, it seemed to scream, only nobody was there… not yet, and he wouldn’t let them see him there. They’d take notice eventually, those demons who called themselves gentlemen in fine suits and silk ties… but when they did see the flagging red hood, at least they wouldn’t see where it came from; only where it ran. Or, at least, that had been the plan. Gabriel should’ve known; his plans never went right. They sniffed his trail back like the wolves they were, sending one half to go find him, and the other half to go find the things that were important to him. Like the big, bad wolf coming to eat him, and Little Red trying to protect his sheep. It was confusing and unbearable and he wondered how he’d lasted as long as he did. For the time being, he’d rest. Then, if he needed to, he’ll carry Levi right out of the apartment and drop him off somewhere until he was strong enough to follow. Gabriel would be no good to Levi if he ended up dead… and the wolves didn’t know about the little blond yet; all they knew was that there was something important at the location. If he just went and moved it, then it wouldn’t be a problem… minus some broken knees and an even more broken heart. The taller blond continued his soothing routine; stroke-stroke-kiss. Levi still held his sweater, though his fingers had come mostly loose and if he pulled just right, he’d probably be able to slide out from under him… but he wouldn’t. He knew he wouldn’t and even if he did, he couldn’t. ”I didn’t do anything.” It was what he stopped doing that was getting his tail set on fire at the moment. Hell, they might’ve been outside right now, lighting some several sticks of dynamite and throwing it into the bottom floor windows. The kiss was surprising for perhaps the first three seconds, and then it fizzled away to a sort of acceptance. It was something familiar, and Gabriel loved it. The taller blond smiled a little, if only to cover up how wounded he was feeling; like rubbing salt in the wounds, they said. ”Well, everything was alright after I left. Nothing hurt you, you had a place to stay, you had work…” And Gabriel had actually called sometimes, saying he’d be home soon… Gabriel saw the shift, almost as if he was watching in slow motion, as Levi raised his arm to try and punch him in the jaw. Though some would argue otherwise, he was not at all a glutton for punishment... at least, not now. In bed was an entirely different matter, but that was irrelevant. His arm darted out, wrapping around his upper arm and pinning it down in a tight hug. ”Levi, stop it.” His voice was sharp and commanding, even slightly irritated. ”I’ll make it up to you, but punching me isn’t going to make a single thing better.” words, 000. tags, LeviLevinotes, - - - credits, kiwii at btn!

He needed a release, whether it came from violence or some less sadistic means Levi could care less, all he knew was that he wanted all the hurt and anger to disappear. “You hurt me, you always called and told me you would come home... but, b-but something always came up didn’t it?” It was a painful truth that Levi had never come to accept, especially when he continued to cling to the false hope that everything would be better when the older male came home. He wanted to cry again, Gabriel’s voice was sharp and commanding, the harsh sound making the younger boy flinch and look away. A few tears had escaped and slid down the teenager’s pale cheek before he buried his face into the crook of Gabe’s neck, unable to do much else when he was trapped in another hug. He let out a pitiful whimper, unable to hold back the waterworks as the teenager began to cry again. This was all his fault, if he had never met Gabriel then maybe the older man wouldn’t be in trouble and they would have never been in this situation to begin with. It was disgusting how childish he was acting, all he wanted to do was hit Gabriel and cry more, unable to understand why the man had abandoned him like he did. Everyone had their reasons, but having the male disappear so suddenly had left him vulnerable and upset and now that he was back Levi was suddenly confused as to what he was supposed to do. He bit down on his tongue, doing everything in his power to stop himself from letting out an ear piercing scream, anything to show just how weak he was when he was faced with the Meowth Gijinka. Why did the older man make him feel like this? While Gabriel was an amazing comfort to have around, the other always seemed capable of tearing him down, bringing out all of his insecurities and fears. The eighteen year old knew he wouldn’t be able to run away at this point, he was weak in the knees and anything Gabriel said at this point seemed to set the small blonde over the edge. Levi wouldn’t last much longer in his state of self-pity, he knew he was being selfish, suddenly demanding all these answers from the man but he couldn’t help it. He needed to know what had scared Gabriel so much that it would cause the other Gijinka to come running home to save his roommate. “L-let’s... let’s just go,” He muttered between sobs, “We don’t have much time, right?” [/style]

But having it said to his face, having Levi tell him up front that he’d hurt him was just as good as getting stabbed in the chest. When he actually flinched and averted his gaze… well, it got all the worse for him then. Why was he getting mad? He didn’t deserve to get mad; Levi was the one that should’ve been boiling over in anger. If he’d been in the kid’s position, he knew he would’ve without a second thought. And yet Gabriel was getting mad and Levi was getting upset beyond words and it was all so wrong. He didn’t like it that the kid was crying either, and that he was the cause of his tears in the first place. He should’ve never left… or he should’ve never taken him in the first place. It had been a mistake; everything he did was a mistake, but he’d live with it. Slowly, he gave Levi a final squeeze, as if to tell him that he’d protect him from now on. He wasn’t leaving him again, for sure this time. ”I’ll carry you.” Somewhere safe, somewhere warm and perhaps somewhere they can get some sleep until this was figured out. He let go of him, but kept close as he turned his back and knelt, waiting for him to climb on before he got the hell away from here. He’d probably try his hand at the Jungle and if nothing else worked, the main city. It would be a rough ride, significantly slowed by the fact that he was carrying a boy, but he wasn’t worried yet. words, 000. tags, LeviLevinotes, - - - credits, kiwii at btn!

The other knelt down expecting the smaller blonde to clamber onto his back, but that wasn’t going to happen. He was much too angry and stubborn to accept help from Gabriel, not when the eighteen year old just wanted to continue to scream at him. Levi was hurting and while the older male probably understood what he was feeling, the smaller male definitely didn’t want any of his help. Sure the Gijinka had snuggled him for a few minutes, but that was only because he was vulnerable and Gabriel had always been able to overpower the boy. Levi could protest as much as he wanted though it always ended up the same way, with Gabriel winning. Dabbing at his tear stained face, Levi started to make for the door – his progress severely hindered by the fact that he could barely take more than a few steps without his shaky legs trying to give out on him. In less than a few minutes Gabriel had successfully brought the kid down to almost nothing, that almost irrational fearlessness of his eroded away with the sudden appearance of the tall Gijinka. “I can walk by myself,” Levi grumbled quietly, just forcing his small body to keep moving at his slower pace. If he could have, the eighteen year old would have been up and running as fast as he could, but unfortunately things never seemed to be that easy, especially when a stranger blocked the door. “Ah, good morning Mr. Nicolescu” The figure was a large, broad shouldered female with bright pink hair that flowed past her shoulders. She took a step into the doorway, revealing a gun clutched between her fingers, pointing it at the small blonde. "Mr. Robinson sends his regards and wishes to remind you that this is your own fault that your young companion must die." Levi immediately took a step back, her figure reminding the teenager of an overgrown Blissey. This wasn’t a good situation for either boy, but all the eighteen year old could think of at the moment was how he wanted to turn around and run away. It wasn’t something the young boy was capable of, not when the only place to run was back into the apartment. Unfortunately that meant that they would have to fight their way through the door and he wasn’t sure if this was something he could deal with. His body crackled with electricity, a feeling of nervousness seeping through the teenager as he struggled to come up with a solution. Levi wasn’t about to willingly harm someone, even if they were pointing a gun at him. [/style]

Gabriel watched as the boy got to his feet shakily, and seemed to outright tremble as he took the few strained steps forward, seeming like he’d fall over at any second. That wouldn’t do whatsoever, unacceptable in his mind. He was supposed to be taking care of him, and he’d start with carrying the boy out if he needed to… which he did. Having him try and walk himself out would mean what little time they had left was evaporating, speaking of which… ”Levi, wait—“ He reached out for him, about to pull him close again by the arm when there was a rattle from down the hall. Less than a second later, a familiar looking woman appeared at the door… Flouncy pink hair and a rather curvy build denoted one of those people that insisted on going after him after all was done. Her leer was disgusting, and he wrinkled his nose in distaste as she spoke to his roommate. He hated the sound of her grating voice, hating everything about her… about them. He heard the faint crackle in the air, so familiar, and yet it worked to rile him up even more. Gabriel had always had a sort of temper, one that burst like a bubble in his head at random intervals. It happened to burst a lot around Oliver, who seemed to hate what came out of his mouth more often than not. This time, it happened to pop at the sight of the woman. No warning, no crackle in the air and no usual threatening hiss he usually gave off thanks to that cat DNA when he was threatened. None of that, save for an ear splitting screech that he swore rattled the walls in which they stood. His arm darted out and grabbed Levi by the wrist, pulling him closer and away from the woman… he needed to move them somewhere safe, his adrenaline pumping in his head and making him process things that much faster. words, 000. tags, LeviLevinotes, - - - credits, kiwii at btn!

It was almost disgusting how business-like she was acting, but Levi supposed this was her actual personality and the teenager wasn’t sure if he was more scared of that freakish giggle or the fact that a gun was pointed at him. Part of him wanted to mimic that atrocious accent, tease the larger woman for what he almost mistook for some sort of Old English accent but held back because the other certainly wouldn’t approve of such a rude gesture. She was the one with the weapon and for all intensive purposes, Levi was vulnerable and exposed with no one except for Gabriel to protect him. He was in trouble and he knew it, but the eighteen year old’s stubbornness refused to let him beg his companion for help, not when he was so angry with him. The SCREECH pierced his ears, startling the small blonde as he reeled back in shock only to feel Gabriel grab hold of him and pull him back from their opponent. His legs almost gave out the initial shock and all the eighteen year old could do was press himself against the taller boy. “Gabe,” Levi mewled pathetically, shuffling into the other’s arms. It was awkward just trying to move away from the lady, but it was all they could do to avoid being shot. He shivered, raising a hand to release a THUNDER WAVE with the hope that he would paralyze the pink haired woman and give the pair more time to escape. This wasn’t the time for the young man to give out, but with reality crashing down around him Levi was beginning to realize how serious of a situation they were in. Gabriel had wanted to leave as soon as he had come across the blonde, but no he had to stupid and fight with the Meowth Gijinka and now this happened. “Where are we supposed to go?” He questioned, tired eyes examining the area as the woman slowly advanced towards them, hindered by the Thunder Wave.

He hated the woman and he hated this apartment and he hated just about everything within sight. The venom had built up over a good part of a year, always lingering and never leaving and he was sick and tired. The shriek was an accumulation and once it was let go, he felt just a little better… and would’ve felt a whole lot better if they got out of range of that gun. The tiny squeak that vaguely resembled his name reached his ears and snapped him from his thoughts momentarily, finding Levi curled tight in his arms and looking more than a bit nervous of the whole thing. The thunder wave was welcome help, but he knew that this particular woman was tenacious and once she was assigned something, she’d go through hell to get it done, making it all the more difficult for Gabe. And she was trying to move and Levi was asking him a question. Was it a question though? ”Anywhere but here.”” Rash as always, all he knew was that the woman was blocking the door and they needed a way to get the hell out. The nearest exit? Windows. ”Hang on.”

[/color] A stiff command as he grabbed Levi around the waist and simply fell back against the cheap, thin glass that barely covered one of the windows behind him. It crackled and broke to pieces easily, and for several seconds, all he felt was the wind and all he smelled was the dusty air.

But then the ground rushed up and there was a sick sounding crack as Gabe hit the ground on his back, whoever saying that cats always landed on their feet being a complete liar. But at least Levi was safe…
