He’s a priest, so he’s obviously very religious. Christianity and Catholicism are very homophobic religions by the book. Gabriel obviously thinks he’s sinning, and since he devotes his life to God, that’s a huge problem to him. Getting help means he’d be outing himself, and the vampire can also out him if he refuses. The man promises Gabriel that he’ll be rid of guilt if he complies. Gabriel is very needing of that, so he’ll do whatever he must. It’s not Gabriel’s fault at all. He is being sexually abused and raped by this man. Manipulating someone into rape, even if they think it’s actually what they wanted, is rape.
I know there are people in real life who sometimes in this situation are not able to say something because of the impact of what they are going through but when it comes to stories like this, especially this story, I kind of can't stand how the Priest is giving into the vampire. Like I know vampires have powers but I can't tell if he's using them and the Priest keeps saying that he likes it but doesn't want it. Like come on! He just fucked you last night and now he's saying he'll stop if you say no. I can't tell if this is suppose to deep or not. Maybe because he believes that the friend is dead, he has no hope of ever being with him so he just gives himself away so easily. I almost wanted to stop reading but I really want to see the friend too.
