Neither of their lives were conducive to any sort of family, probably would be barely function between the two of them honestly. They would be at risk associating with each other and it could cost them everything in the end. But... wasn't the reward as worthwhile as the risk? Jack had given up on everything but getting through the day until Gabriel had taken him in when he had been injured, and it was the first act of selfless kindness that felt like a wake up call. "They can't look at you either. I can." Sort of. "How... did your parents make it work? Was it just a different time for such relations?"
His fingers continued to trail between the snakes and carding through Gabriel's hair. It was a rare thing to be able to have touch like this, and he was going to take full advantage of it honestly. He leaned his head up a little to nuzzle Gabriel's nose with his own. "If you did, I figure they would have played out by now. It isn't as if you have advantages associating with a hunter. I think... you're as lonely as I am."
That was difficult for them to get, wasn't it? "Do you want to fight to have it, or just... accept what it is now and leave it be when we separate after getting you home?"
