"Don't worry about it Jamie..." Gabe replied.
"I'll stay with you as long as you need, I promise."

Jamie put his hand on top of Gabe's.
"Thanks, Roo."

Body heat. That was the best way to explain what happened next.
Jamie's hand stopped shaking when Gabe held it. He could feel the warmth spreading from Gabe's body to his through that one simple gesture. And he was so cold, and so scared, and so alone.
That was the only explanation for how he leaned in and kissed his best friend.

Gabe froze when the kiss broke, his mind going a million miles a minute.
Jamie had just crossed the line Gabe never allowed himself to... Because he knew Jamie wouldn't... But Jamie did.
Gabe's free hand grabbed the back of Jamie's head, pulling him in for another kiss.

It was warm, it was inviting - that was the only explanation. All that mattered was the warmth emanating from Gabriel to himself. It felt good, it felt safe - that was all.
Jamie wrapped one arm around Gabe's waist, pulling him closer.

Gabe let go of Jamie's hand, allowing his to slide up the back of Jamie's shirt.
The dam that had bound Gabriel for years had broken, his inhibitions detered.
He would go as far as he could. He pressed Jamie in closer to him, desperate to feel him.

Jamie pressed himself into Gabe, feeling his skin light up with intensity. The warmth was intoxicating.
Intoxicating.
Jamie pulled away so quickly he actually fell off the bed.

Gabe was on his feet in an instant... Laughing.
"Jeez... You okay Jamie?"

Jamie rubbed his back gingerly.
"Yeah. I'm fine."

Gabe's smile drooped a little as he held out his hand for his friend.
It ended...
And he was... Well... Let down.

Jamie got up without the help of Gabe.
"I better go before Maddie realizes I left."

It felt like all the lights had gone out in the room... And it dropped twenty degrees...
"Bye...?" Gabe confusedly replied as Jamie bolted out the door.
