You've become a rather bright light in my life here, so I think it's worth the risk of that darkness stalking after us. Together we're able to overcome a lot of shit, Gabe. [And only saying Gabe because he knew no one would overhear them in his 'breakroom' as it was.

Jack did huff out something of a chuckle, arms wrapped around and rested there against Gabriel to keep him held close; all the better for him to absorb that heat. Hands rubbing slowly to help chase away whatever chill he could still feel under his palms. Working a bit at muscle as well.]

Against better judgement? Yeah, I do. [He let his forehead bump surprisingly gently against Gabriel's own.] I know, and I know you're not the type to always say it out loud. More through gestures and the like.

You know I love you, too- yeah?
