Jack was definitely the loyal type, and the fact that he had earned himself a mate that would hopefully be life-long just settled him into a sense of peace about the whole affair. He leaned into that kiss, smile on his lips because of it. Really lucked out walking in that day. "So do you. I'm not going anywhere, so you're stuck with me for the long haul."
He was finishing off his pizza slice, not nearly as pressured as Gabe was when it came to command. He had been ribbed a little by some of his friends, but otherwise, he had been left alone. It wasn't smart to be teasing an alpha so soon out of a rut and having taken a mate; he could be unnaturally testy and protective for a bit. He looked over at his mate as he wiped his mouth with a napkin at the mention of tomorrow and reached out to cup the omega's face. "It's going to be fine. A little rough questioning as they always do, but you're in command. They can't take it away from you because something they gave you failed. It wasn't in the field, no one died, and if anything, you can press the advantage that you are now more 'controlled' because of it." Alpha and omega pairs tended to react only off of each other after all.
With how it could have gone- well, Gabriel couldn't think of a better outcome between what might have been. Kiss was soft and sweet, just for the time it lasted. "Seems we're in agreement then," in for the long haul, whatever that may be.
There was a slight widening of eyes, more out of surprise at his face being cupped, but Gabriel leaned in to Jack's hand and let out a slow breath. Growing tension melting out of him. "No worse than anything I've gotten before," which didn't even have to do with what he was other than being in command and how dire the situation was growing. This jut felt a hell of a lot more personal than anything. "Means they can't try to move you off to another team either." There was too much at risk, and he could argue all of the advantages it would give them.
Be stupid to try and change anything he'd already written up, too. "No worry about me distracting any other alphas out in the field."
