Neil's still looking for work, ostensibly, and Gabriel's been in classes for almost a week now. Even though he maybe shouldn't, he's been spending a bit more time over at Gabriel's than is wholly necessary, but it feels nice to just be around him, to hole up on Gabriel's couch and tuck into his bed, to try his best on cooking even.
Now, Neil knows that he's got to say something to Gabriel at some point, but he still hasn't figured out how. So, in the meantime, it's been a lot of just wanting to be near him, to shower him in quiet, private affections that don't have to be met with anything other than a smile.
It keeps him out of trouble, at least. Looking for work, staying with Gabriel, trying to figure it all out. He doesn't stop thinking about what he's done, but it does keep him from doing it again. Especially in those long, quiet moments when he's standing in the kitchen attempting to figure out dinner while Gabriel works on his homework.
