It was about two hours before their time for the owner to come knocking for more money that Gabriel would wake up. Starting to stir as that deep sleep turned in to something more fitful, something that was rare whenever he was sleeping near Jack, but perhaps it spoke for just how bad this situation was for them.
Nails dug in to Jack's arm, Gabriel's grip tightening before he did finally jerk in to being awake, breathing quick and shallow, but otherwise didn't move or speak. Made himself keep still, loosen his grip, because he could still feel and tell it was Jack pressed so close to him.

Bit of a whiplash, but it was fine. Clearly fine.
