Alex nodded. "Me too." He said softly, snuggled close to Gabe.
Do you really want to trust insanity? (Private with Icefire, it's pretty fooking mature, matey)

Gabe reached up to rub Alex's head, closing his eyes a moment. This was really nice. He didn't want this to end.
Alex hummed faintly at the touch.
group
Gabe kissed Alex lightly, smiling.
Alex kissed him back and smiled up at him.

Gabe held Alex close, smiling.
"You really are amazing…"
Alex bit his lip a little. "I don't know about that."
group
Gabe reached up to cup Alex's cheek.
"I know you don't," he said gently. He leaned forward a bit, keeping Alex close. "That's why I want to help to see it yourself. To not just have me say it to you."
Alex shrugged his shoulders, leaning into Gabe's hand as he looked up at Gabe. "Alright…" he replied softly, slowly.
group
Gabe leaned forward to gently kiss Alex's forehead.
"I care about you, you know? I want you to know these things."
Alex let out a faint breath. "Alright…I jst…I don't know." he replied faintly.
group
"I know," Gabe said gently. He rubbed Alex's back, holding him close.
Alex held onto Gabe, curled close. "I…I really like you." he said in a quiet voice, still hesitant to say love, because look where it had led to with Henry.
group
Gabe looked down at Alex, smiling gently. He was a little surprised.
"I really like you too," Gabe murmured softly. He held Alex to himself, kissing Alex's forehead.
Alex nuzzled close to Gabe, moving a little to get more comfortable. He smiled a little bit, and stayed close.
group
Gabe started rubbing Alex's back, letting out a little hum. He smiled as well, eyes half closed.
Alex sighed faintly in contentment. "Can we go for a walk tonight?" he asked quietly.
group
Gabe opened his eyes fully, thinking a moment.
"Sure," he said, smiling. "We'll have to stick to the safer major streets, but there shouldn't be near as many people out. It'll be chilly, so you can wear my jacket."
Alex nodded a little bit. "Thank you." he replied, smiling a little as he kissed Gabe's cheek.
group
Gabe smiled, kissing Alex's cheek in response.
"I think it'll be nice. The city can look really pretty in the evening."
Alex nodded again, smiling up at Gabe.
group
Gabe let out a soft, happy breath.
"Do you want to eat now, or go out on the walk and eat later?"
Alex blinked. "Walk first?" he asked, raising his eyebrows a little bit.
group
"Alright then!" Gabe grinned, kissing Alex's cheek.
Alex smiled, slipping out of Gabe's lap and standing.
group
Gabe stood as well, stretching a little. He rubbed his arm, picking up his plate to put away before they left.
Alex reached out and took Gabe's hand for a moment, kissing his cheek.
group
Gabe smiled at the kiss. He grabbed his jacket, offering it to Alex while holding his hand in return.
Alex took the jacket, slipping it on. It was too big, baggy on his skinny frame, but it would do.
group
Gabe smiled gently when Alex put the jacket on. He thought Alex looked really good.
"Your ready to leave?"
