"But I don't want to sleep yettttt" Jack tugged at Gabe who was rolled over on his side, facing away from Jack as he was trying to sleep.

"Jack, it's 4 am" Gabriel told him, not shouting because of how early it was but just saying it to warn him.
"So that means no one's up....and that means we can do whatever we want" Jack shuffled closer to him and Gabe rolled his eyes.

"Like what?" Gabe turned over so he could see the American.
"I want to cuddle" Jack pouted like a small child.
"Really?" Gabe asked him with a serious face.
"Please? Because you said it was different with me and you love me?" He pleaded.
"Fine, turn around" Gabe told him.
Jack did and Gabriel pushed up against his back.

He liked cuddling Jack in the spooning position.
It was comfortable for the both of them and made them feel Secure together.

"Gabriel?" Jack got ready to ask another question.
"What?" Gabe sighed, his breath tickling Jack's white neck.

"I'm sorry for saying you where my boyfriend" Jack apologised with a slurred voice.
"I think I just said it because I love you so much" He held onto Gabriel's hand which was wrapped around his waist when Gabe pulled back.

"I don't, uh.....i don't do hand holding"  he told the blond boy.
"Come on, no one will see us" Jack took his hand again but this time Gabe let him.

"No one knows about this" Gabriel told him, suggesting that if Jack told anyone there would be consequences.
"Okay" Jack shuffled back a little, wrapping himself in Gabriel's warmth.
"Gabriel, what are we?" He asked him.

The Spaniard sighed, he knew Jack would eventually ask that question and he didn't have the answer to it.

"Because I know what I want to be.....but You don't" Jack huffed.
"What do you want to be?" Gabe asked him.

Jack gulped slightly.
"You don't like it when I say it" He told him and Reyes knew what he meant.
"Just say it, Jackie" Gabe told him, trying to sound more friendly to the idea.

"Boyfriend" he mumbled, blushing hard, thank God gabe couldn't see his face.

"I can do partner" Gabe told him.
"It's a pretty flexible word I mean, people might not know what we mean when we say it" He explained.

"And you don't want people to know what we mean?" Jack asked him.
"Not yet" Gabe told him.

"Do you still feel like it's wrong?" Jack asked another stupid question.

"Sometimes" Gabe sighed.

"Now go to sleep, Jack"
"But-"
"Go to sleep"
