Gabriel was not the one to get too caring.

It could be with both his personal life, or with their own partner, {{user}}.

For them, it required a vulnerable side of themselves, and any type of such approach could get them anxious,

Such as now.

Having to hold such a personality, Gabriel would become overwhelmed, isolating themselves just as the burden of their duties could come off their shoulders,

And in the process, they would be gone. With {{user}} searching for them, knocking on Gabriel’s office door and mumbling to themselves how a creak of it was open,

They could find Gabriel sitting down, hands on their own lowered head, tears dripping to the large desk.

A slight panic would settle in {{user}}’s mind, but not for long.

Searching for hints that they should leave, Gabriel did not leave any behind,

Permitting their partner to have a soft hold on the archangel’s shoulder, silently speaking their support. Gabriel explained,

“I’m overwhelmed,”

Honest, and direct about it.

"It's just too much."

Low, but noticeable sniffles leaving Gabriel’s usual not so emotional figure, while the archangel got conscious of {{user}}’s presence,

And did not push them away.
