They seemed to be pushed so far for once that they shut down on each other. While the bond was mostly closed, he felt a small sense of relief that they were physically together, the grip of Gabe's fingers on his arm reassuring. It meant he could stay, should stay so he did. Eventually, they would break the cycle, but it was likely to come with many missteps until then. After all, they were both hurt, exhausted and worn down.
A little was better than nothing, and it was a relief to have some sense of Gabe other than 'alive'. Pain was something that was a constant in their link right now. It simply mingled with his own, which partially snuck through their bit of open link.
He closed his eyes, resting there at the end of the bed with Gabriel. Existing. That's about all they could manage at this point.
