Gabriel/Jesse – Blackwatch era; science gone wrong; tentacle monster Gabe – Jesse just tries to make him take his meds after Gabriel got in contact with questionable substances...

---

Jesse peers into Gabe’s room. When there is not much movement to be seen, he pushes the door open wider to slip inside.

“Hey boss… How’re you feelin’?”

“Go.”

Jesse sighs and comes closer still. He puts the tray he brought with him on the bedside table.

“No can do. Unless you eat somethin’ and take your meds. Ziegler gave me pretty clear instructions, you know. If ya don’t comply, you’ll not change back into your actual body, I might add.”

“The fuck are you talking so much?”

Gabriel worms his way out from beneath the many covers he is buried under. It is calming to see that he looks pretty much just like always. For some reason he’s always afraid to find him… melted into a puddle of goo or some shit. One never knew with the chemicals utilized during their Blackwatch missions.

“I’m not hungry. Go. Or I’ll…” Gabriel trails off. His voice sounds not quite like himself; a bit distorted and maybe in pain. Jesse sits down on the edge of the bed.

“Or you’ll what? You don’t feel well. The meds’ll help. Just-”

“Jesse. Go. Now.”

The blanket fort is trembling, Gabriel’s face twisting in what seems like pain.

Jesse shakes his head and reaches out… then jerks back – or tries to – when something shoots out from underneath the blankets and curls around his wrist, holding it in a tight, almost crushing grip.

He inhales sharply, eyes focusing on the long appendage wrapped around him. He can feel all the little suction cups latching onto his skin and making sure that he won’t get away without Gabriel’s say-so.

“Uh… boss?”

Gabriel pulls his lips from his teeth. His very sharp and pointy looking teeth. There is not much recognition in his dark eyes as he starts to move and worm his way out from underneath the blankets. It becomes clear that what has wrapped around Jesse’s wrist is one of Gabriel’s fingers, lengthened into a tentacle.

The others look normal; but not for long. They grow rapidly and curl around Jesse, clutching him tight and making sure he’s not going away anywhere anytime soon. His heart beats faster.

“O-Okay…?” he rasps, body thrumming immediately with nervous energy.

Gabriel doesn’t answer. He stares at Jesse like he is the tastiest prey as he moves him with an impossible ease around. An ease that has Jesse a bit put out; he’s worked hard on gaining weight and muscle since joining Blackwatch.

He wriggles, trying to talk Gabriel out of it, but the more he moves, the more it seems to excite the boss, whose tentacles curl tighter around his body, the ones from his other hand now joining as well. Jesse is wrapped up like a package; a worm held down on Gabriel’s bed while the boss inspects him, the tickling tips of his tentacles sneaking underneath his clothes so the little suction cups can latch on to his skin and ah… fuck… he’s… he’s injected with something? Something that makes him feel so tingly all over… Tingly and a bit panicky.
