It was hard to keep it all held up behind an already brittle wall that had been built up just to get to this. Somewhere reasonable safe and out of the public eye after all hell had broken loose, someone clearly having wanted them dead if the shooter had been the last key to being sure of that or not. Tried to hold on as long as he could, rarely let anyone else see him so low and weak.
But he couldn't stop himself, even if it started silent, tears falling when the first finally broke free. More falling after as he held just a bi tighter on to Jack. Rocking with him as his own hand lifted to keep Jack's there on his face, Gabe resting the side of it there so it wasn't in danger of knocking away the oxygen mask.
Kept a hand of his own over it. Crying enough for the both of them as some low sound of a sob broke free, something almost like laughter coming with it. Completely bereft of joy and just a sound of emotional agony. That brittle wall demolished and no longer holding it back.
"N'ver," word barely gotten out, but every bit of emotions was in it.
