[He was chewing on his cookie, savoring it. It was cooling down some, but it was still delicious and if they weren't careful, he would probably eat most of the batch that had been made. Thankfully, it was also just as likely he was going to drag Jack to bed for some fun birthday time.
Those hands stroking his back certainly weren't dissuading him from the idea. He leaned in once they had both swallowed their mouthful of cookies so that he could kiss Jack, tasting cookie on his lover's mouth.]
We can put together a little wish list of what we would want and how it might look....
Mhm, and reason when we strategized together we were near unbeatable- still are, honestly.
[Whatever else might've been said, just all the more solidifying that he was both stroking Gabriel's ego a little bit on top of just reaffirming they were much better together- was so easily cut off by that kiss with a hint of chocolate chip cookie for the both of them.
Jack couldn't help how his arms wrapped more around Gabe, fingers curling while grasping at the back of the older man's shoulders under that hoodie. Palms pressed and still moving against muscles there in that embrace.]
We can- later. Know we can get a good view from above some areas if we wanted, too.
That's true. We have strategies that compliment each other, and so far nothing has been able to beat us when we are fighting together.
[It wasn't hard to admit where their strengths were, though he liked to think that they operated very effectively apart. Those excuses were getting harder to come by as history repeated itself with their successes and how much he had come to enjoy Jack's company.
He leaned in with the arms circling him, pressing their chests together even as he still worked Jack's top up so he could have more access to skin. It seemed to be about time that they should be shirtless anyway, so it was about time to get on that.]
Mmm later. And you know Specter is going to make a big scene if we are both on Blue.
[There was of course a low hum of agreement and- well, a subject that was fine left where it was he figured. They did well on their own- but just did better together. Honestly? Jack could admit they were doing even better these days once the trust had been carefully built back up. From both sides. Did them much, much better.
Jack pressed a kiss just against the side of Gabriel's head as his own tipped back just a bit- not stopping him from getting hands there under his shirt at all.]
Can see if he wants to come along and give you a view then.
[They were just proving right now how well they could get on and make things work. After years of breaking down trust with one another, they were finally building it back to how strong it had once been when they were just soldiers of the SEP. If anything, he felt more comfortable with Jack now than he had back then. They had seen so much shit, and Jack was one of the few that he could share the experiences with.
He tipped his head towards those lips, rumbling in his chest in pleasure as he dragged his thumbs over those nipples as he hiked that shirt higher. He ducked his head a bit to pepper kisses on the hardness of Jack's jaw and down that column of neck.]
He will, but he'll make a big scene about it. He's so damn dramatic.
[He gave a light bite to Jack's neck.]
Arms up, handsome. Need this shirt off soon and I'll rip it off of you if I have to.
[Just like another guy he knew- but he wasn't quite going to start teasing Gabriel about that one yet. Oh no, because the older man was making himself someone that was rather distracting as well.
His head tilted a bit for that bite, finally dragging his hands out from under Gabe's hoodie so that Jack was allowing him to drag that shirt up.]
He's the worst companion ever. He defeats any ability to sneak up on things when he's around.
[He might gripe a lot about Specter, but he knew for a fact that they were cut of the same dramatic cloth. It was also a touch mind boggling to him that the little peacock dragon decided to attach to him as he wasn't generally someone that attracted animals. That was Jack's job honestly. Though, apparently the man was rubbing off on him a bit since Annabel was basically attached to him spreading glitter everywhere.
He leaned away as Jack raised his arms so that he could tug up and off that shirt. It was a nice one, so it would have been too bad to rip it. He tossed the material over the arm of the couch - in case they needed it for some strange reason - and then he slid his full hands down the front of Jack's chest.]
It's a nice shirt. Contours to your body to show those muscles. You look better at home without a shirt.
[Far, far more alike the two of them were than Gabriel would likely enjoy having pointed out- maybe some other time he would, just to tease his partner when the mood and timing would play with it well enough. Not right now, far more interested in the direction the other was clearly taking this evening now.
Humming, hands returning right where they had been with a little drag of fingertips for the fun of it.]
Well, I am a man of extraordinary talents. It's one of the reasons that you like me.
[That wasn't it at all, and he knew it. Sometimes he wondered why the hell Jack put up with him aside from the fact that they had a lot of history together. If he sat and thought about it - and he did - he had moments of clarity as to why. They both could be their own worst enemies, but in the end, they were better together.
He leaned into those hands again as his own stroked Jack's skin, rediscovering all the parts of the younger man that he loved so much. His mouth paused to suck a mark into the skin at the side of Jack's neck, knowing it would fade quickly.
At the same time, he shifted to shrug his new jacket off. He set it down next to Jack's abandoned shirt.]
Mmm, you're the boss.
[He shifted more in Jack's lap, sliding his arms around the younger man's shoulders to press their chest together. He added a bite to Jack's earlobe for good measure.]

Should probably try keeping this one.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind for you-

Probably better without it on.

Mattress or hammock?
