"I'm sorry about, you know, the inevitable pain. But there really isn't any way around it, though we'll be as careful as possible, of course." Gabe promised William as he noticed the boy looking a little uncomfortable. Gabe rubbed his hand in circles on Bill's back. "Sweetheart." He kissed the top of Bill's head. This was nice .
Gabe shivered at William's touch, his hands were icy cold yet he didn't make to move them away, they'd warm up after a while. 'I love you too,' the words played over an over again like a broken record within Gabe's own mind. It made him smile, Gabe was often smiling, but this was a real smile. One that warms your heart, leaves you basking in that happy feeling, perhaps some might call it love?
"Sure man!" Gabe nodded, "you don't even have to ask, you know." Although Gabe did wonder what staying the night entailed, were they merely going to sleep or...something more?
