Disaster

"I won't bring it up with Broen."

It wasn't his place to say anything about Broen when he barely knew the guy. He didn't ever plan on throwing this kind of information back in his face if angered. Fighting was pointless. He'd rather just avoid Broen whenever they crossed paths whenever possible. The two likely wouldn't mesh very well in a friendship capacity, anyway.

When Angelo spoke of Alma, however, the teen raised a brow. It was that simple. Just... decided to be brave enough to ask. To do something to change the current situation. It was admirable. Gabe felt his cheeks flush, thinking back to the night not so long ago where Angelo had asked him out. It was surprising, but... nice. It was nice to be wanted in that way. "You seem to be very lucky in that regard, Angelo. Asking people out and them saying yes." He grinned, baring his teeth a little before humming softly.

Damn him.

Gabe could feel his face turn dark red as he felt the press of lips against the side of his head. How could he be so openly affectionate like that? So easily?! The two had been on one date, and even that was arguable considering it was when Angelo had asked him out in the first place. The idea of them kissing had crossed Gabe's mind once or twice before (it was definitely more than twice), but having it almost happen? The teen could melt into a puddle right now in contentment.

Before he could attempt to retaliate, the doctor had approached. He seemed pleasant, despite whatever news they had about Dani. Mustering his voice as best as he could from his huddled position with Angelo's arm over him, he could only respond with a simple "Yes, sir," before huddling back to try and compose himself. He kept his focus on the doctor, but glanced at the blond with a minor glare as if to say, 'I'll get you back for that.'

Gabe listened intently as the doctor spoke, relief washing over as he gave the good news regarding Dani's condition. She was stable, but needed sleep. That was good. She was going to be okay. Maybe not emotionally tomorrow, but she'd make it through. She was the unstoppable laserkid, after all. The doctor gave them a time to meet tomorrow, and recommended both get some sleep. As he left, he turned to Angelo only to find the blond looking back.

"Sleep... sleep is a good idea. Go handle your thing, Angelo. I'll make it home okay and text you so you know I made it safely." He stood up slowly, slinking out of the arm that had been keeping him comfort this whole night. It was such a caring gesture from Angelo, who had been nothing but supportive since they had met. The kiss to the temple had been so surprising, but the blond had been right. You couldn't be afraid of failure, you just had to suck it up and go for it. Gabe stood up quietly and waited for Angelo to do the same.

With a slightly shaky hand, he would reach up and place it gently over Angelo's lips before standing slightly on his tip-toes to press his lips to the other side of his hand. It wasn't a real kiss, but Gabe was sure that if he had tried it for real, he would either miss or pass out from embarrassment. After a brief moment, he pulled away and took two steps back.

"G-Good night, Angelo." With the weakest of mutters and reddest of faces, the teen quickly turned on his heel and dashed the hell out.
