Despite everything that happened and the shock of it all, it was so damn good to hear Gabe laugh. It seemed to briefly reset everything to a sense of right again, and he sighed as he listened. He had a feeling they were going to have less and less to laugh about in the coming days and weeks, and even if the sound was cut off early because Gabe couldn't breathe without pain, it made him feel momentarily good. "You can't play the innocent card with me in this instance. If you have to use the bathroom, shove me off."
That was the best part of their bonding. Even if it hadn't been a truth of one another, they still would have been friends. The moment he had laid eyes on Gabriel Reyes, he knew he would be friends with that man and that no better friend would be his in that moment. The fact that they were bonded made their meeting all the sweeter.
He made a growling sound of displeasure, but Gabe's hand also soothed him from deciding to lift his head too. "I don't want to dye my hair," he complained, even if it would be so much easier. He had no problem with make-up; Gabe had done his for a few photo-ops because Reyes was the only one capable of making him sit still long enough for such treatment. "So we're safe... I have my accounts, but there's probably less in it for us to tap into." They were going to be surviving on very little for the time being, keeping their funds hidden and safe.
Jack was, of course, more concerned about Gabe's family. He was always more concerned with anything Gabe related, even if he was certain the opposite would be true. It seemed too weighed and depressing to make a decision until they had been updated on the news. Who knew? They could be pronounced on the run.
Their eyes met, and he knew what Reyes was going to say, and at first, he managed a small tight smile. Then the assurance of the depth of Gabe's feelings was made very clear and he had to blink back actual tears. What he hadn't managed last night threatened him now, and he hastily turned his face away, burying it into the blanket over Gabe's thigh. He then shoved his hands down into the mattress to push himself up so he could hastily and recklessly press his lips to Gabe's. "Shut up. If I cry, I'm going to dehydrate more than I already am."
