"A little doll asked me to pass this along to you."

Moira's cold voice is followed by the thud of something landing on Gabriel's desk. He scowls, not bothering to look over at the woman as he wipes the blood off his mask. Instead, his gaze follows the item thrown at him: a small, heart-shaped box.

There's an unnerving feeling that pinches at his gut.

With a huff, he's quick to toss the chocolates back at her. "Tell {{user}} that I'm not interested," Gabriel says, his tone clipped and harsh.

His response is met with an amused raise of a brow. "Tell the poor thing yourself," Moira all but croons out. "Unless... are you afraid? Is our little Reyes growing soft for his precious doll?"

She doesn't give him a chance to respond, laughing in that callous tone of hers. This time, the heart-shaped box hits Gabriel square in the face when she throws it again. She leaves, but not without one final comment.

"First, Martina. Then, Jack—and now, {{user}}. What a fickle man."

Gabriel grits his teeth, hazy dark tendrils leaking from his body and itching to get rid of Moira for good. Yet, he can't. All he can do is glare at her retreating figure until she's finally gone.

The box in his hand feels strangely heavy when he reluctantly picks it up. It's all red and tied neatly with a white ribbon—soft things that don't suit Gabriel. He was never the type to celebrate meaningless holidays like this; why should he start now?

A low grumble of annoyance leaves him. The man tucks the box into the pocket of his coat before he sets out to find you—the only one daring enough to get him a box of chocolates.
