What Jack hadn't expected was that even so little of a time between them had allowed this strange warmth to blossom between them. He understood gratitude for saving Gabriel, but this felt different than that. Honest. Warm. Affectionate. There was too much trust between them to simply be from helping one another.
His fingers stroked over the entirety of Gabe's neck, able to momentarily feel the flutter of that pulse here and there. He didn't concentrate on it, too busy just lazily allowing his fingers to soothe and stroke skin as they rested there together. With their heads rested together like that, he was keenly aware of the fact that some of Gabriel's snakes had come to settle on his head.
For a moment, he also almost thought their fingers might interlace and that would be... well, too intimate. Like they were starting an odd sort of courtship neither of them were probably that aware of. This peaceful moment soothed an aching part of him, which was why he just continued to stay.
