A dreamless sleep was better than the other option, which would'be likely been nightmarish on multiple levels. Blackness was better, and at least the oxygen mask didn't budge much while he slept, kept over his face and nose and helping him breath easy while his lung healed.
Was as peaceful as it possible could have been, worn to such a bone deep exhaustion and then dosed with a few pain medications.
Gabriel hissed when he finally jerked awake, pulling something in just the right way that the jolt of pain threw him out of his sleep far more than the knocking had. Breathing a little shallow and mask hanging around his neck from the strap, eyes a little wide and disoriented as hell, fingers gripping in to the bed as he needed a moment to remember where the fuck he was— they were.
That tug of bond the only thing that kept him in the bed rather than darting, looking Jack's way before slowly locking his gaze on the door.
