Gabe had officially checked out mentally. How... how did that happen? They had gone from almost separating to... whatever that was. They had been so close together and how deep the kissing had gone, nevermind the marks he knew would be left along Yuki's collarbone. There had been so much happening, yet Gabe couldn't find himself regretting a single moment. He was exhausted but he could see the two them doing that again, keeping that closeness. He was laying beside his equally-if-not-more-so-exhausted boyfriend and he couldn't help but smile.
Gabe felt... safe. Putting himself out like that with Yuki had been both terrifying and a huge comfort at the same time. Knowing that they wanted that closeness, wanted their relationship to work... it was reassuring. He only hoped that Yuki had enjoyed it as much as he had.
With slow, careful movements, Gabe moved to lie next to Yuki and wrap an arm around the other boy's waist. He pulled his boyfriend close and gently placed a soft peck against Yuki's cheek. "...I'm sorry if it was uncomfortable... I know we probably... pushed farther than we both expected. I don't regret it, though. I wanted this. I hope you wanted it like I did." He paused, seeming almost embarrassed in their post-make out cuddle. "Even if it wasn't that good. I... I've never done that before. That wasn't something I ever thought... I didn't think anyone would want me or trust me like that..."
He paused again, his voicy shaky for a multitude of reasons that he couldn't vocalize. "I love you, Yuki."
