[He closed his eyes with a sigh and enjoyed the contact, letting it warm him in ways that had nothing to do with body heat. The quiet moments were as necessary as their loud and pushy moments, settling out their rough edges and all the other baggage that they carried with them.
He hummed.]
That's awful kind of you. I'll wear them with pride.
[Through it all, they would always get to have moments like this, and it mattered a hell of a lot. All the more reason Gabriel was happy to remain there so long as Jack was willing, really.]
[He gave their laced fingers an affectionate squeeze and savoured the moment himself. Of course, that moment couldn't go on forever and the fluffy blue chick woke with soft peeps, realized they were still down in the basement with her, and she rose to stumble over to a warm lap to settle in for a much longer nap.
Jack used his free hand to pull over part of the blanket she had been sleeping on and pull it over to wrap around her.]
[Gabriel couldn't help the soft chuckle, an eye having cracked open at the sound of even soft peeping. Squeezing Jack's hand in his a bit as he let out a soft breath. Well, could be worse.]
[This was going to take some getting used to, but he had raised enough orphan animals to know they needed warmth and a safe space to sleep. This little one's parents were dead, so now she had to have a foster family and that was them now that he had brought her here. It was for him to mull over his complex feelings about.]
I suppose I could use a nap too. [He gave a little shrug.
No way he was getting up and disturbing her now. Plus, Gabe next to him was warm and comfortable, and he definitely liked their fingers entwined as they were. He nestled his head against Gabe's and settled in for some light shut-eye himself.]
