Chapter Text
Machine Love for an Angel
Hateful…disgusting…weak…heresy…those words repeated over and over again, jumping back and forth in Gabriel’s mind. It made his head throb for all he could think about was that…thing. Why must this happen…bested, defeated by such a lowly insignificant machine. It will pay, it will be put in it’s rightful place. Below him, struggling, defenseless, desperate for even a drop of blood to sustain it’s worthless body. Gabriel was respected by the council, he was fearless and formidable. Never lost a single battle and did his job as the judge of hell accordingly. Only for his reputation to be ripped from him, just by that loss. What made it worse was the only thing that kept him alive was stripped from him as well. It hurt like hell but he deserved it. He couldn’t even fathom how him of all angels, the most supreme of them all too, be beaten by that unholy mockery of a mortal life. It’s sickening display of gore, parts that were a mimicry of an animals or a human’s; the lords creations. Nothing was human or moral about those machines. They need to be brought to justice. Especially that blue, impure, unholy creature…how dare it taint such a divine being such as Gabriel. After his first ever loss, all he felt was anger… but maybe something else as well. Longing, perhaps? No, there’s no way he could have a desire for that thing. It was final, he made the conclusion that the machine will die and Gabriel’s sinful desires going down with it.
“Machine… I know your here, I can smell the insolent stench of your blood stained hands. I await you down below…”
As V1 traveled deeper and deeper into hell, he stopped in his tracks as it heard Gabriel speak. He liked to fight, it liked the rush of adrenaline and satisfaction it got from a demon’s or another war machine’s blood. But ever since that fight with Gabriel V1’s never quite been the same since that first encounter. Deep down it knew that he wanted another battle with Gabriel. So as expected, V1 was excited to hear that the angel was waiting for him. After some time passed, V1 was nearly there. As he walked closer and closer it ran countless simulations in his mind about the long awaited fight that was going to happen soon. While this happened, Gabriel was talking about or saying something about how V1’s kind only destroy and take and how he’s taken everything from him and imperfect hatred. But V1 payed no mind for it did not care at the moment. Then at long last, they finally meet…once more.
“Machine… I will cut. You. Down, break you apart, splay the gore of your profane form across the stars!! I will grind you down until the very sparks cry for mercy!! My hands shall RELISH, ending you here. And. NOW!!”
The fight began and it could mainly be described as chaotic, messy, spiteful, but that’s what was fun about it. Every dodge and parry and coin that came from V1 only enraged Gabriel more before finally being able to successfully strike him with their cross spear. V1 quickly recovered by pulling itself to Gabriel using the whiplash and damaging Gabriel with the sawed-on shotgun. Gabriel struggled for a bit before striking V1 with one of his swords and making him fall off him. He proceeded to lunge at it, scraping and making deep cuts with his swords against his blue, metal plating. The more Gabriel attacked while making angry and insulting remarks, V1 realized that he sort of enjoyed seeing Gabriel in this state of anger. As well as maybe enjoying the pain that was being inflicted onto him. The longer their fight went on, Gabriel started to enjoy themselves and felt…relief. Each bit of ammunition, wether it’d be nails or electricity, that grazed or even hit vital spots was exhilarating and liberating to feel. Moments went by and Gabriel realized how and what he truly felt, any form of hate had left Gabriel’s mind for all he could feel now was ecstasy and euphoria
“Now this is a fight worthy of God’s light!”
V1 was already enjoying their duel before but now, seeing Gabriel this eager to keep the fight going…that feeling was definite. Laughter and encouraging statements from the angel filled the room. V1 developed a sort of fondness for Gabriel’s voice and desired more of it…more of him. A few more hits and Gabriel was down, lying on the blood stained ground.
“Twice?! Beaten by an object, twice!! I had only known the taste of victory, but this? Is this my blood? Hah, I have never felt such…relief? I, I need some time to think.” Gabriel got himself off the ground and made himself levitate with his wings. V1 looked up at him and wondered about things. What would it be like if they fought longer? What if he was on critical damage? What would Gabriel do? How’d he react? What would he feel like without his armor? He needed to know. Before Gabriel could teleport back to heaven, they were interrupted by V1 grabbing onto his wrist. He swiftly turned their head around in surprise and faced V1.
“What is it? Why have you put a halt to my return to heaven? Do you need something from me?”
V1 hesitated for a bit before nodding. He then lifted his other hand and reached for Gabriel’s shoulder. Gabriel then descended back to the floor and faced their whole body towards V1, and tilted his head in curiosity.
“What are you doing?”
V1 moved one of their hands to Gabriel’s neck while moving the other to his waist. Gabriel shivered from the cold and gentle touch of V1’s hands, but he did not stop it. V1 leaned it’s head close to Gabriel’s neck, standing on the tips of his feet trying to be tall enough to reach. Gabriel chuckled slightly before crouching down to get more onto V1’s level. V1’s head jolted back slightly and let out a positive beep. He continued to do what he was doing before but now with more ease. It rested its head on the side of Gabriel’s neck, indulging in the rough texture and warmth of his skin. He needed more of it. It leaned out of his original position and tapped Gabriel’s armor.
“O F F.”
Gabriel was slightly surprised by the voice that emitted from V1.
“So you do speak… what, do you want for me to remove my armor? For what reason exactly?”
V1 shrugged. To be honest it didn’t exactly know either, but all it knew is that it longed for Gabriel’s touch. Gabriel hesitated for a moment.
“Very well then. I shall remove it for you for whatever reason you have.”
Gabriel cautiously removed their protective gear, curious as to what V1 wanted to do. Now with everything removed except for his skirt and loin cloth, he was met with V1 feeling various areas of his torso, then it’s arms wrapped around Gabriel’s waist and he held close. A quiet and content whir emitted from V1 as it relished in Gabriel’s divine self. Gabriel then slowly wrapped his arms around V1 as well and curiously felt the intricacies of the machine’s body. After a couple minutes have passed, V1 looked up at Gabriel and leaned his face into Gabriel’s. A clank sound was heard when their faces met. Gabriel stopped and was shocked by V1’s sudden form of affection, and his face flushed. Then V1 leaned away, in shock as well by his own action.
“Are… are you trying to kiss me?”
V1 quickly looked away, trying to hide his embarrassment and tried to brush it off. Gabriel laughed a bit at V1’s sudden change in demeanor. It amused Gabriel for what he’s usually used to, that being the cocky show off, was now shy and touchy.
“You know, I am not bothered or opposed to the idea. I don’t mind.”
V1 perked up in excitement, grabbed both sides of Gabriel’s face, and (tried) to plant kisses on him. The sound of metal rapidly clanking together sent vibrations through each others faces. Gabriel laughed at how eager V1 was and told him to slow down. He then cupped the side of V1’s face and held him close with their other arm. V1 leaned in slower this time, it’s kiss showed more gentle affection and tenderness than the first time; for he had learned to be more careful with it’s movements.
“You can be so endearing at times, are you aware of that?”
V1’s optic enlarged and it’s internal fans went off in an attempt to cool himself down and shook his head in protest. Gabriel rolled his eyes and chuckled. V1 tried to shut him up with another kiss…but it didn’t work well due to the obvious fact that Gabriel still has their helmet on.
“Would you like some help?”
V1 nodded in quiet frustration. Gabriel then lifted up his helmet slightly, but just enough to reveal their…mouth? Whatever, it’s close enough something that could be considered a mouth. V1 leaned in again once more, their kiss now feeling more intimate than before as if Gabriel not wearing the majority of his armor wasn’t closer enough. Gabriel and V1 wrapped their arms around each other and held their bodies together as close as possible. If the council could see Gabriel in the mess he was in right now, they would’ve degraded and judged him in the most humiliating ways possible. Or maybe just smite him then and there. But frankly, that didn’t matter at the moment and Gabriel had something planned for the council anyway.They both loved every second of it and only pulled away so Gabriel could catch his breath. Thus, their session of intimacy has come to an end. He applied his armor back on, still out of breath and a bit shakey.
“I enjoyed our time together, but I bid you farewell for now. We will meet again, V1.”
Just like that, a bright beam of gold light, and Gabriel teleported back to heaven. Already V1 wished they could stay like that just for a moment longer. However he was also a bit caught of guard by Gabriel calling him by it’s designated name instead of the dehumanizing names that he had bestowed upon him. But then again is there really anything human about V1? Well for a moment it felt like it was the closest thing to human at least. Funny…he’d never felt that way before. V1 could only wonder and hope when they’d meet again.
