Being the youngest of five children, Gabriel had a tendency to get away with things his elder siblings probably would not have. He was not completely dense, he was aware there was always an odd, angry sort of tension between his father and his eldest brother. Gabriel did not know why, being only eight years old as he was. He idolised his oldest brother though.

This particular day though, Gabriel was up to mischief. He was bored. His twin was off at one of her friends places and his older siblings were in similar states of either being elsewhere or telling him to go away. So he was left to his own devices which meant coming up with new activities for himself... which eventually found him at the top of the stairs where he had managed to lug his mattress.

Granted, it was not particularly large but even so, it had been a struggle. He had just mounted his downy steed and had kicked off down the stairs just in time for Dominic to see him go flying dangerously down the stairs on a childs mattress.
