In the end, even before when they had to steal time, they would find a way to come back together in the end of all things. No matter the argument caused by stress, pressure on either end, they always tried to support the other. Be there when they could, and even no proved no different, even if now it was enough to crush them.
It was too much and everything that was needed all at once, but Gabriel didn't allow himself to lock back down either. The frustrations born of so many reasons, the helplessness caused by Jack denying to let him help, let him do anything to help, brushing each attempt off- and the hurt when that was tied to anger, the freshness of that flowing along with that caused by what led them to where they were now.
For the first time Gabriel allowed himself to audibly sob, even if that hand remained over his mouth. No longer biting in to his own palm and drawing more blood to silence himself, listening and letting it all out. Exhausting himself with it until he was once more silent, breathing still a bit erratic, but no where nearly as bad.
That hold on Jack's arm never let go all the while.
