"My family... they were the only ones," he murmured, though that might not necessarily be true. He recalled having friends with other farm children, but it was so long ago, it felt like a dream. He leaned his head into Gabriel's lips, sighing softly. His hands stroked until he had his arms wrapped around the gorgon to squeeze Gabriel in a hug. "I'm glad. Been a long time since I liked anyone and had it reciprocated."

He snorted softly, pulling Gabriel's torso against his own. He pulled the gorgon up and rolled them so that he was on his back and Gabriel could lay over him. "I feel like I'm sticking around for awhile yet." He shifted, sliding his hands down Gabriel's back as he found space to set his feet on the floor. "I'm tougher than I look, but okay. Just want us to enjoy this."
