When he was angry, he wanted to shout at the world that Reyes was his bond, and he'd tear the entire place down for the man. It had never come to fruition, but he had dreamed about it as the political roller coaster seemed to pull him in so many directions all at once. The family life had never been in the cards for him, even if he had had a pipe dream about it awhile back. Duty came first, and his position made even the idea of adoption impossible. He had his bond, and he was satisfied.
He hummed, aware of Gabe's plans after the war, of settling down, probably starting a real family, not living the circus he and Reyes did. She had bonded though, and Gabe had become his fully after that. Still, sometimes he thought of missed opportunities when he was in particularly quiet moods. "If she hadn't bonded off, I would have encouraged you to. A real family is not something to be taken for granted. Instead we have this secretive song and dance we do. Sometimes I think it would have been happier for you." It had never been anything they had pushed though, and each of them had been happy for the other. "You're assuming I make it ten days without popping a stitch. What kind of man do you take me for?" He would like it cleaned. Hell, he really wanted to be clean all over.
Agreeably, he hummed acknowledgement, looking over at the choices that he could pick through. He decided on a mac and cheese one, thinking it would be the easiest on his stomach. Go figure he would be the one to puke in all of this despite Gabe's nausea. "Let's hope these don't taste like boiled cardboard."
