Jack sighed as if expecting the worst, like Gabe might fly into a heat by tomorrow. He knew that wasn't true, and he fully intended to stock up on snacks from home or the local grocer once he was allowed off base to get them. There was no way he was allowing them both to go through another heat without being properly prepared. "Don't worry, handsome, I'll have you covered when the next one rolls around. I'm not used to being caught with my pants down like that, but you definitely surprised me." As only Gabe seemed to be able to.
He nodded his head, taking another bite of pizza as well. "I completely agree with that assessment. We've been training long and hard to be a good paired unit just like everyone else, and I suspect our response time to each other will double now." And really, that's all the military and the government wanted, wasn't it? They needed an edge in combat and if this was it, they would take it. War required sacrifices.
