"Don't stop on my account." Kael said, a slight smile on his face. When it was made clear he wasn't welcome by Christian's dark glares, he turned to leave, then heard Gabrielle shout out for him, pushing Christian off.
"Kael?" She yelled enthusiastically. "Kael, what the hell?" Kael turned around and was greeted by a much less than fully clothed Gabrielle flinging her arms around his neck. He chuckled and pushed her away.
"Gabby love, go back to Christian." He motioned towards Christian, who was watching them impatiently.
"But, Kael, you're - " He pushed her back to Christian.
"Finish Christian off. I'll be upstairs in my room." She glanced questioningly at him.
"Your room?"
"Well, what's yours is mine." Kael finished, turning back to the hall and walking up the stairs quietly. He didn't want to confront Edge.
"Gabrielle, you can't just leave like that, I mean, right in the middle of - "
"Be quiet, Christian." She responded, pushing him back down on the couch, straddling him, and roughly kissing him without a shred of self containment.
Edge sat upstairs in his room, wondering why the door had opened and shut twice. He knew Gabrielle and Christian were home, probably glued to each other downstairs, but they hadn't left. The sun was almost up. He heard the shuffle of heavy boots, trying to be quiet in the hall outside his room. He couldn’t pick up any thoughts, or images from them, but it wasn't Gabrielle or Christian. He door to Gabrielle's room squeaked open, and shut with a snap. It couldn't be anyone else. Edge stood up, opened his door, and rushing into the room. There was the intruder, as far as Edge was concerned.
"Kael, you fuck. I thought we got rid of you for good." Kael spun around and saw Edge.
"No Edge, you can't get rid of me that easily." Kale said, smoothly, feeling slightly nervous around a man who tried to kill him once. Edge stood still in the doorway as Kael walked slowly over to the bed and threw himself down, resting his arms behind his head. "Do you really think the sun would kill me? I mean, locking the door so I couldn’t get in was brilliant, Edge, I'll give you that, but it sure as hell didn't do me in." He turned his head slowly in Edge's direction, sighing with boredom. "You know how many times I've been left for dead? Know how many times I've died? Same as you. Once. Good try though, really. I applaud you." Kael added sarcastically, clapping. Edge glared at him with anger and hatred.
"Get out of this house." He commanded through clenched teeth. Kael glared back just as hard.
"No, you see, Gabby wants me here, so here I shall stay." He said with a shrug. "You should have seen the warm reception she gave me." He beamed proudly. "Even stopped fucking Christian to hang all over me."
"You're a liar. She doesn't want you here. She doesn't care about you."
"Edge, I'm afraid its just the opposite. Did she tell you all about our few fun days in Cardiff?" Kael asked with a smirk.
"It was one night! Don't - "
"One night?!" Kael spit out, laughing. "It was not one night! It was a good bloody week!"
"Bullshit! It was one night, you - " Kael raised a hand for Edge to stop.
"I suggest we act all gooey and happy for a moment, because she's coming up the stairs. Don't want trouble in paradise." He finished as Gabrielle flung open the door, and seeing Kael on the bed, ran and leapt on top of him.
"Kael, what are you doing here? You were gonna go to Blackpool, and - " She paused, screaming with joy, "What the hell are you doing here?" He glanced at Edge with smug grin, then turned his attention to Gabrielle, grinning down at him.
"Gabby, not gonna say hi to Edge?" Kael asked her, nodding his head in Edge's direction. She looked around to see that she had just passed Edge in the doorway, and blushed a little.
"Hi Edge…sorry about not seeing you there…you know, I get to see you all the time, and I can jump you whenever I want. I don't even know how long Kael's here for." Edge's eyes hardened and he clenched his jaw.
"I'll be in my room." He said, coldly, walking off with out so much as a look back.
