"You're close to getting sick and every bit of energy is going towards healing wounds," Not much, if anything, to spare for anything else than what the body felt was more important. Like stopping all the bleeding and closing wounds to stop further infection. Probably, anyway. Could feel just how cold Jack had gotten and hell if it didn't worry him, no matter how bad he felt himself he still and always would feel the need to take care of the other first.
Hands rubbed against the skin of his back as the other kept to an arm, very mindful ad staying away from places he remembered tending to. Didn't want to tear stitching or roll bandages. Worst Gabriel felt was stiff and sore, the blanket had kept him from getting too cold and the tub itself at least let him keep it on and not feel like he had gotten too hot. Or he was too tired to get rid of the blanket.
"Reason right now we're just warming you up," and right now Gabriel still felt like if he ate even a crumb it wouldn't stay down, but he wasn't saying that. He knew it was because of all the pills take on an empty stomach. "You need to eat as much as I do, and so we're both going to. Later."
His nose wrinkled a bit, "And you end up following me after a little while." Which he had, but right then Gabriel was just holding Jack closer, and at least that fever was good for something then and there.
