The floor of the bathroom was cold and leaning on the tub wasn't much better, but it was going to have to do for the time being. He lounged there as much as he was physically able, watching Gabe struggle to find that happy medium between too hot and too cold, but it seemed that the oxygen was still helping. Maybe he should consider breaking in somewhere to grab more tanks? It would take some time for that lung and all the surrounding damage to heal.
His eyes closed once he had Reyes' fingers between his own, like they were an insurance policy to knowing the older man would be alright. He made a sound of acknowledgement to the advice, but leaving now meant having to get himself up and he was done for the time being. All this over a refusal to eat.
Instead, he shivered and pillowed his less damaged cheek on a forearm and sighed as he tried to shift into a comfortable spot. "Doesn't matter. I'm taking care of you," he remarked even if he was basically doing no such thing. He was here to offer a sort of moral support, and right now, that's all he could offer. So he'd stay because being near Gabe was as much of a comfort for him as it likely was for his bond.
