Who: Lilo Pelekai, Gabriel, Michael.
What: Big brother comes by for a surprise visit.
When: Sunday evening.
Where: Lilo and Gabe's place.
Warnings: Mikey's got a potty mouth.

Lilo hummed as she came into the kitchen of her house. Gabe was somewhere, but he wasn't her priority at that moment; she had a bag filled with groceries over one shoulder, and she wanted to get everything in the fridge before she got dinner started. It was going to be a low key affair - loco moco most likely. Humming as she rounded the corner into the kitchen, she smelled smoke. That was odd.

What was odder was the huge hulking figure sitting at her kitchen table, reading the paper, and snuggling Danger.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Lilo shrieked, lunging forward to punch the man hard in the neck. He just grunted at the blow, raising an eyebrow at her.

Gabe had been upstairs reading, but when he heard Lilo scream he was downstairs in less than a second. Thank fuck he'd been dressed; the last person he'd ever expect to see in his kitchen was his brother.

He grabbed Lilo around the middle as she'd looked like she was going for another punch, letting out a grunt at the effort. "Calm down!" Gabe told her, holding her tighter, but more like a boyfriend. "Calm down. That's my brother Michael."

Toward Michael himself, Gabe just sighed. "I guess popping into a mortal's house unannounced can't really hurt you, huh."

Lilo was kicking her legs, trying to get free, but she heard the word brother. "Oh. ... hey, that was douchey, jerkface, you can't just come into people's houses uninvited."

Michael for his part was the picture of calm, still stroking Danger's fur. He'd folded up the newspaper, a grin spreading over his face. "Nope. Good try on her behalf, though. Where'd you pick up the spitfire?"

	"Douchey's Michael's specialty," Gabe told Lilo, only half kidding, as he let her go. "Don't waste your time smacking him." He answered his brother slightly frostily. "Lilo's from Hawaii originally; we met in Honolulu one day. We were both trying to eat four manhole-cover sized pancakes in less than an hour." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Lilo sighed, putting a hand on Michael's shoulder. "Sorry I hit you. You staying for dinner?" Patting her lightly, Michael nodded. "Sure, thanks." He chuckled as Danger yowled, obviously upset at not being pet any longer. Standing up, he nodded at Gabe to follow him to the living room so they could talk. "Didja do it? THe pancake thing." (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, we both did, actually." Gabe kissed Lilo on the cheek, looking at her as if to ask if she needed anything. If she did, she would call for him. He halfway hoped she did. Still, he was nice, following Michael. "You talk to Father? I actually haven't seen him in a while." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 12:37 am UTC (link)
	Michael laughed loudly. "Good on you, man!" He shook his head, moving to sit down on the couch. "Yeah, just as soon as I got here. Told me to take a two week vacation, that I was owed it. Told me to ogle chicks, actually." Mike shook his head, chuckling. "Fuckin' weird." (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Gabe blinked. "You, vacation?" That was fuckin' weird. "And I don't know, Father's gotten more mellow in his old age. I was convinced he was going to smite me for falling for a mortal. You know how he was." Gabe shook his head. "Instead he told me to calm down and enjoy her." Who knew. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 12:48 am UTC (link)
	"I think he's happy, finally. He knows he's got a good thing here. For all the shit humans do to each other, they're pretty good." He chuckled when the cat jumped into his lap again, sprawling out. "And yeah, your girl seems... she hit me. You know I like any dame whose first reaction is to defend her home. You keep her safe or I will." (Reply to this)

"No worry there." Gabe's eyebrow raised a trifle, as if to question how hostile that sounded - did Michael not think he could protect Lilo? - but he choked it down.

Instead, he kept on with the other subject. "Father does seem to be pleased with this world. It's definitely not the same as the one we're used to - I don't know. There are a lot of special humans here. Up to and including the one who's now our brother."

	"Ariel? Yeah, it's all sorts of confusing. But don't you think Razzmatazz isn't our brother now. Just because he's not keeping our smarts or secrets doesn't mean that he's not our brother." He shook his head, secretly very glad that his brothers were around at all. (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"No, no. I didn't mean that." Okay, that was fair. "He's still our brother. But we have to give Ariel all the help we'd give Raziel, is all I meant." He felt a flush of awkwardness - he always seemed to fuck up something around Michael. He stood up. "I'mma get a beer, you want one?" It'd mellow him out a little, hopefully. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Mike nodded. "No, no, you're right, that's a good point. And I'll take a brew, thanks." His father's words still stung a little, buzzing in his ears. He'd realized he was too hard on Gabey, but it was because he worried so damn much about him. (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 01:33 am UTC (link)
	"No problem." Gabe headed back into the kitchen to grab them, taking time to wrap an arm around Lilo's middle and kiss her neck. "I think it'll be ok," he murmured. "Worst that can happen is we'll be bitchy at each other." (Reply to this)

	means_family 2011-01-24 01:39 am UTC (link)
	Lilo wrapped her arms around Gabe. She'd been working on making brown gravy, and she set her spoon down to snog him properly. "If you two get too bitchy, I'm going to come in there and whup you, so you'd better not." She smiled at him, letting her forehead rest against his. "Love you, so hush." (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"I can block you with a palm on your forehead, girly." Gabe smiled, returning that kiss. She loved him and that was what mattered. He picked up a couple of beers, smirking at her. "Figure these can't hurt either." He headed back into the living room, handing one to his brother and popping his open. "Local brewery. Almost as good as the beer you get at the bar in Limbo." (Reply to this)

	means_family 2011-01-24 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, but you wouldn't." She smiled and shooed him off, moving to put the rice into the cooker. Mike was rubbing the tummy of a very appreciative cat, having a conversation with the dog Dennis. "Uh, your dog talks. Thanks." (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, um." Gabe sat down. "One of Lilo's ex-boyfriends was some super-genius guy, and he designed a transmitter thing so the dog could talk. Dennis is sweet." He smiled at the dog. "C'mere, you can talk and get belly rubs at the same time." Dennis fairly yelped and came over, flopping next to Gabe. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"She's a girl named Dennis, that's ... " He thought it was cute, but he didn't really want to say so. He hated talking about feelings, but he knew he needed to. "So, uh. You know I ride your ass because I think you can handle it, right?" (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 02:08 am UTC (link)
	Gabe would have choked on his beer, cliche-style, if Michael had spoken two seconds before. As it was, he simply blinked a little. "You think I can handle it?" He echoed, feeling stupidly like a parrot. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"If I'd known I piss you off, I'd have stopped. Just sayin'. Why'd you name her Dennis?" He wanted to change the subject post-haste. (Reply to this)

He knew Michael wasn't the touchy-feely type, and Gabe didn't even smile, or at least not until he'd tipped his beer in front of his lips. Who the hell knew if his brother would stop being a dick, but to even hear him say he didn't mean to be, helped.

He set his beer down, doing his best to sound average. "I didn't, actually; Lilo did. It's her dog, not really mine, though she seems to like me." He scratched the dog's stomach idly. "Lilo?" He called. "Why'd you name her Dennis?"

"She picked it out!" Lilo called back from the kitchen. She soon emerged with three plates of steaming food and a beer for herself, handing out the food. "We can eat in here." She winked at Gabe before sitting down by Dennis.

Michael chuckled. "'Course she did. I like it here, weird shit happens and nobody freaks out. Not like back in the day, say something from a burning bush and you get peed on. Nobody talks about that part though, oh no."

(Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Gabe had to laugh at that. "I was around for that ... one of the few times I've genuinely seen him mad. Instead of just grumpy." He took two of the plates for Lilo, setting one down in front of Michael and one in front of himself. "He did the job, but man, did Father ever hear it when he got back topside." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"Why the fuck did he think anyone would pay attention to a burning bush?" He rolled his eyes, blinking at the food. "You made this? Thanks, really. And it's even kosher." He chuckled and grinned at Gabey, shaking his head. "I think Pops sampled a little too much pot back in the day, if you catch my drift." (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 03:38 am UTC (link)
	"Lilo cooks kosher," Gabe said with not a little pride. "She keeps her bacon apart from my stuff." He'd told her at one point, that was proof of love. "And Father ..." He trailed off, somehow not wanting to tempt fate. "Well, I'm just glad he's mellowed." He worried. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"Damn, brother, marry her before she gets away." He grinned and dug into his food, nodding agreement at Gabey's other statement. "Yeah, me too." He blinked. "This is fucking good, thanks. Lilo, right?" Lilo nodded and smiled. "Yup." She was trying not to blush. (Reply to this)

Gabe turned bright red, just drinking more of his beer. He was a little irritated that Michael had actually said the M word, but he couldn't be expected to know the reaction it'd provoke.

Dennis, however, just giggled, and Gabe sighed. "Lilo's a surfer and freediver, and she's been trying to teach me how to swim. It hasn't been going too bad, so far." Given that he was used to walking on water, well.

(Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Lilo had turned red as well, looking down at Dennis and offering her tiny bites of hamburger. "Yeah, that's my name. And he hasn't drowned yet, so yeah, I'd say it's working out all right." Mike looked at the duo of blushes and rolled his eyes. "You two haven't had that talk yet? Well, fuck." (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 05:18 am UTC (link)
	"Hasn't been that long." Gabe was still beet red. He really, really needed to be drunker to have this talk. And shit, would Lilo be happy or angry that he wasn't ready for that? Dennis, meanwhile, had jumped down and gone back over to sit at Michael's feet, looking up with an adoring whimper. Gabe had to chuckle faintly. "She digs you." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Lilo chuckled, nibbling her food. "Nah, he's just new, she wants the new guy to give her meats." Grinning, she leaned against Gabe, snuggling closer. She knew he wasn't ready for the M word, and she was fine with that; she wasn't either. Michael sneaked Dennis a bit of beef, grinning down at her. Maybe he'd get one for himself. He'd always liked dogs. (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"Well, that's fair too." Gabe put an arm around her, watching the dog and his brother. He asked Michael, "So, you really going to go on vacation? I'd lay decent odds you'd claw the walls before two days were over with." Even if he found a woman or three. He knew Michael liked women, not that there was anything wrong with that. (Reply to this)

"Pops thinks I need it, and I'm pretty sure everyone else would agree." He shrugged and picked Dennis up to put her into his lap and scritch behind her ears. "It'll give me time to get settled in my house. I replaced some hotshot ex general for the States, so getting my house and shit in order will take time by itself." He'd already finished his food, and he stretched out contentedly after setting the plate safely aside.

(Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 05:36 am UTC (link)
	Gabe nodded. "I replaced an emergency room doctor in Seattle, so at least the universe has a sense of humor? Bet your house is big." He still didn't quite know how Lilo and Phineas had gotten such a big place as this, but he wasn't complaining. "The general wasn't married or something, was he?" Michael liked women, but that might be fucking awkward. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-24 05:40 am UTC (link)
	"Bet you like that, taking care of people. You're good at that." Lilo was pleased that they were getting along so well, and she had her eyes closed as she leaned against Gabe's shoulder. Michael liked how cosy they were together, and approved of them together. "Yeah, he is, but I already let her know that we probably shouldn't keep that up." (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-24 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Gabe actually felt bad, hearing that. "Shit. That had to be awkward." As for his work, he shrugged. "Yeah, actually, I do like the job. It's ER, not NICU or something like that, but I still like helping people. I've saved a lot of mothers and babies." He liked saving everyone, obviously, but mothers and babies were special to him. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-25 12:06 am UTC (link)
	"Eh, it's not like it would've been less awkward for me to keep her around when she expects me to know her from a long way back, you know? It would just be weird." He nodded at Mikey's joy, taking a swig of his beer. It took a special kind of person to play medic, and he knew he couldn't do it himself. Even if Gabe didn't know it, Mike was proud of him. (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-25 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"That's true, I guess." Gabe shook his head. "The life I fell into, the guy was a workaholic - it's actually been kind of funny watching the hospital staff get confused by me clocking off earlier and not working eighty hours a week." He smiled a little. "I just explain to them that I met somebody, and she'd kick my ass if I spent too long at work." (Reply to this)

	means_family 2011-01-25 12:48 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, yes she would." Lilo shook her head, nipping his shoulder. "I'd kick it every which way." She yawned, snuggling closer to him. Mikey smiled, sprawling out a little. "Welp, I should be off so you two can watch TV or fuck or whatever." (Reply to this)

Gabe blushed again, but Lilo yawned. "We're pretty boring, honestly. We watch a lot of movies." Okay, so yeah, they fucked like bunnies, but his brother didn't need to know that. "You decide where you're going for your vacation? Or you seen anyone else? Some of the Grigori are here - Kokabiel's here, or Uzza - or even some of the old goddesses? Asmodey showed back up." He rolled his eyes.

(Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-25 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"Not yet, probably somewhere warm. And I know, my Kabie's here, I'm excited to see her. And Asmodey? I don't know, we reached a weird point where we both hate each other so much that we just don't bother anymore." He drained his beer before standing up. (Reply to this)

	thereisakingdom 2011-01-25 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Okay, he hadn't expected either the excitement to see Kokabiel or the indifference to Asmodey. "Asmodey's been starting a bunch of shit lately, but I don't know, maybe you can keep him in line, if you guys have a rapport." Gabe shrugged. "Other than that, things are pretty calm here, honestly. You could actually take a vacation at this point." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-25 01:20 am UTC (link)
	"He and I are going to go get drinks later on. And yeah, maybe I will go lay down on a beach for a while." He knew who he wanted to invite, too. Smiling at Gabe, he cuffed him lightly on the shoulder. "Good to see you, Gabriel." The use of his full name was in and of itself a way of saying he loved him, and he disappeared a moment later.
