> it was already reaching late afternoon when Jonah returned home
> He had just nipped out to the store to grab a few essentials, but he had taken a bit longer than normal to return
> Gabby had started to worry
> She kept insisting that, as his guardian angel, she really should be accompanying him everywhere to ensure his safety and happiness
> Jonah hadn't agreed however, stating that he was quite capable of going about his day without a personal bodyguard at his side at all hours
> It wasn't like he had any enemies or anything to worry about, plus he really did need to express his independence every now and again
> Also, it was kind of counterproductive when Gabby kept glaring at anyone who got too close to him or happened to look at him funny...
> Today though, he returned with a troubled look on his face as he placed the small bag of groceries on the kitchen counter and then slumped down onto the living room sofa
> Gabby was there at his side immediately, sensing his unusually sombre mood
> "Is everything okay?" She asked him softly, hopping up onto the seat beside him
> "Oh, hi Gabby." He responded, his voice low and sad
> "Yeah, I'm okay..."
> She placed her hand softly upon his arm
> "I can tell that something is bothering you, so please tell me what it is."
> Jonah looked at his beloved guardian angel hare
> He knew there was nothing he could ever hide from those big pale blue eyes of hers
> "It's just..." He began
> "I had a run in down at the store with some kids, you know, the ones with the hair that looks kinda like broccoli?"
> Gabby nodded
> "They were causing trouble for the old shopkeeper so I stepped in to help."
> She tensed
> She was pleased that Jonah had the moral fibre to help someone in need, but she didn't really like the sound of him potentially putting himself in harm's way
> "Between us we managed to get them to leave without anything escalating..." He continued

> "...but they said something to me before they left that kinda stuck in my head."
> She waited, wondering what awful thing the young delinquents might have said to her normally quite unshakable Jonah to put him in such a mood
> "They told me that... I looked like a 'scruffy ass hobo'."
> Gabby stared at him for a moment, wondering
> "They said you looked like a hobo?" She asked
> He nodded, looking down
> "I know that I don't really make much of an effort when it comes to how I look, but I didn't think that I'd let things get that bad."
> He reached up and tugged on his bushy beard
> "I caught myself in the glass of the store window and I saw it... saw the hobo."
> "Oh, Jonah..." Gabby soothed, giving his arm a squeeze
> It didn't seem to have it's intended effect though
> He turned to face her again, his eyes still sad
> "What do you even see in me?" He asked suddenly
> "What?" Gabby responded, thrown by the question
> "You are an angel, a divine being from heaven itself, so what do you even see in a guy who looks like a hobo?"
> Gabby just stared at him, her eyes wide and her mouth slightly agape
> Taking her silence as an answer, Jonah continued
> "I mean, I know that Anon got himself in shape for Mikey and looks like an Adonis now, and Inco... well Inco always looks pretty cool I guess with his glasses, but me?"
> He stood up, pulled off his favourite old baseball cap that he wore everywhere and tossed it away
> "I'm just..."
> Gabby stopped him there, by fluttering up quickly and taking his face into her soft hands
> "Jonah..." She whispered
> "Let me explain something to you."
> "You say that you know I am an angel, but do you know what that actually means?"
> It was Jonah's turn to stare, held as he was between her fluffy hands
> "Despite keeping this form to live here beside you, I don't look upon you with the eyes of an actual hare or even a mortal." She continued

-
> "When I look at you, I don't see just your outer appearance, I see all of you."
> "I see your spirit, I see your heart, I see the light you hold inside of you and the way it shines out upon the world around you."
> She gave him a wide, happy smile
> "I've lived a long time, Jonah, and what 'I see in you' I haven't seen in any other in all the wide world around us."
> "You are my perfect man, my perfect soul, and you are beautiful to my eyes in a way that words will never truly be able to explain."
> She pulled the big man into a hug, squeezing him tightly and enfolding them both in her shining feathery wings
> "Wow..." Jonah mumbled
> "That's... just..."
> "Hush now." She whispered
> "Don't let those who feel small try and make you feel small too, but rise above them and stand tall and proud."
> She released him, and fluttered away to go collect his faithful hat
> "I do kind of look like a scruff though." Jonah muttered
> "I guess it wouldn't hurt to maybe go and at least have a shave..."
> Gabby stopped dead in mid air, and sharply spun back around to face him
> "No!" She nearly shouted, before quickly calming herself and clearing her throat
> "I mean, let's not go making any rash decisions here..."
> Jonah raised an eyebrow
> "Do you... like my beard?" He asked
> "Maybe..." Gabby said shyly, turning away slightly
> "I guess I just like how it tickles my nose when we hug, and... do other things..."
> Jonah smiled, his heart already feeling a little more at ease
> "Well then, maybe I'll hold off on the razor for now."
> The two hugged again, then went off together to go unpack the groceries
> Hopefully the ice-cream Gabby had requested hadn't melted
> Wouldn't be a movie night without the ice-cream

Well, since you put it like that I guess I better follow through and give it a go. I'm going to go hard mode though and try making it non lewd. Last time I wrote a green about angels/demons getting their ears rubbed it ended with weird stuff happening. We shall see.

> Following a comfortable and all round pleasant movie night, Gabby and Jonah retreated to their bedroom
> It was getting late, so the plan was simply to get ready for bed and blissfully fall asleep in one another's arms...
> Except that one of them had something else on their mind
> Gabby had been nursing a particular desire for a little while now, and after her talk with Jonah earlier it had made its way right to the forefront of her thoughts
> It had been something she had been dreamily fantasizing about, but had never really talked herself into broaching with him
> With his suggestion earlier however of shaving off his bushy beard, things had seemingly become a bit more urgent
> So she had decided that tonight would be the night that she would ask him, just in case he went ahead and took a razor to his lustrous facial hair without her knowing and ruined it all
> Tonight, she would bring to him the idea of brushies

> The two had completed their usual nighttime routines and we're sitting on their respective sides of the bed
> Jonah was fiddling with his phone charger, while Gabby was perched right on the edge and wringing her hands nervously
> Attentive to the moods of his angel as ever, Jonah stopped and turned towards her
> "Everything alright over there?" He asked
> Gabby sat up a little straighter and nodded, clasping her hands together to stop them from fidgeting
> "Yes Jonah dear." She replied slowly
> "It's just..."
> Jonah moved a little closer, concern etched across his face
> "What is it?" He asked nervously
> Gabby took a deep breath and locked her eyes to his, her expression serious
> "Well, as it turns out I'm not quite ready for sleep just yet after all..."

> As Jonah waited for her to continue, she unconsciously found herself shuffling a little closer to him
> "There was something that I have been thinking of that should relax me quite wonderfully, but it might seem a little weird so I've been a bit worried about asking you."
> Jonah smiled and shrugged his big shoulders
> "You know I'd do anything for you Gabby." He said happily
> As he looked at her though, his eyes widened and he gasped
> "Oh..." He said, his voice dropping to a whisper, as if he was worried someone might hear him
> "Were you thinking of us doing something... you know, naughty?"
> Gabby held her hands up and let out a little gasp of her own
> "Oh, no no no!" She said quickly
> "Nothing quite like that!" She exclaimed
> "Not that I don't really quite enjoy a bit of... snuggle time, with you Jonah..." She added, suppressing a giggle
> "But I had something else in mind for you to maybe help me with tonight."
> Jonah nodded, and waited for her to explain what she meant, valiantly managing to hide his sense of disappointment at the lack of 'snuggle time' in his near future
> Gabby reached over to the bedside table on her side, and pulled out a couple of things from the drawer there
> In her hand she held a little hairbrush, and a small plastic comb
> "I was wondering Jonah, if you might be willing to give my fur a little brush?" She asked
> Cocking his head slightly, Jonah nodded
> "I'd be happy to." He said
> "I'm not sure why you think that might be weird though..."
> Gabby bit her lip
> She was most of the way there, so just one more step...
> "Well, I was hoping that while you brush my fur, you might let me run a comb through your beard?" She asked, with an almost embarrassed look on her furry features
> Jonah blinked
> "You want to comb my beard?" He asked, sounding a bit confused
> "Yes, while you brush me." Gabby confirmed
> He thought about it for a second, but ultimately shrugged again and smiled

> "You're right, it does sound a little weird, but I'm fine with it if that's what you want."
> She let out a little sigh of relief
> "Thank you." She replied, and quickly moved to sit herself up on Jonah's lap clutching the brush and comb
> She handed him the brush, and kept the comb for herself
> Wasting no time, Jonah began by taking one of Gabby's big white ears in hand and started running the brush gently through her soft fur
> Despite being seemingly unable to tame his own scraggly mane of hair or bushy beard, he had no problems working the brush through Gabby's fur, making sure to avoid going against the grain so to speak and not pressing too hard as to irritate the sensitive skin beneath
> Gabby actually found herself closing her eyes for a second and just losing herself to the motion of it, letting him run the brush along her big ear slowly and softly
> She had her own work to attend to though, and managed to shake herself out of it
> She reached up with the comb and began pulling it through Jonah's thick brown beard, pulling it through the thick tangle of hair as gently as she could
> "Ow!" Grumbled Jonah, as she hit a thick patch and tugged at his chin
> "Sorry!" She said, and did her best to go a little slower
> It seemed she would be having a more difficult time of it with the comb than he was having with the brush, seeing as he was still managing to almost massage her ear with each stroke despite her occasionally making him jump as she tugged
> As he moved onto her other ear though, he began talking again
> "So..." He said carefully
> "Why do you want to comb my beard anyway?"
> She stopped, and thought for a second
> "I'd happily do this for you without you needing to do comb anything of mine in return."
> She resumed her combing
> "Well, I didn't really understand it myself when the idea first struck me." She said eventually
> "I think it has to do with my taking the form of a hare though."
> "Oh?" Jonah asked

-
> "I'm nothing like the animals you see out in the wild, but I think I share some traits with them as something of an unintended side effect." She continued
> She stopped talking as the comb dislodged something from his beard, and watched a lump of popcorn fall down onto her lap
> "Oh, I was wondering where that went..." Jonah muttered
> She carefully and expertly flicked the offending chunk of snack off her nightie with a finger into the wastebasket over in the corner, and continued
> "The best I can describe it is as having an odd desire to groom, and to be groomed by another in turn, like you see the wild hares do."
> His beard was now mostly tangle free, but she continued running the comb through it anyway, followed by her small fingers
> She seemed to be enjoying the sensation of just touching the hair and smoothing it
> Jonah for his part had finished with her ears, and had even brushed along the back of her head, but he had nowhere else to go
> "Uh, should I stop here?" He asked
> She shook her head, and then quickly pulled her nightie up over her head and dropped it on the bed
> "Down my back, please." She asked distantly
> Jonah complied, softly running the brush down along her bare back, down between her wings and stopping just above her fluffy little tail
> She shivered with delight and pleasure with each movement, but didn't stop her own motions through his beard
> "I just found the idea of doing this with you to be really comforting, but really very intimate too." She breathed
> "Something about running my hands through your beard while you were brushing my fur..."
> Gabby had closed her eyes again, and leaned in closer to Jonah and was resting against his chest
> She had stopped combing through his beard, and her hands fell down gently upon her lap
> She had seemingly drifted off to sleep, totally relaxed by the motions of Jonah's brushing and the feeling of grooming his beard
> He looked down at her and smiled happily
4/5
-
> She looked so at peace, with a happy little smile on her face
> Carefully dropping the brush and comb on the bedside table, he picked her up and softly pulled her under the covers of the bed
> Switching off the light, he then pulled her in close and settled in for sleep himself
> Despite a lingering stinging sensation on his chin from his beard being tugged and pulled on, he too felt a little more relaxed
> Perhaps there was something to this mutual grooming thing after all
> He drifted off to sleep, holding his freshly brushed angel hare closely, and dreamed happy fluffy dreams
> There would be no more thoughts of shaving again for the time being
> Hoboesque or not, he was happy with things just as there were
> Gabby was happy too, and in his view that was true perfection
