Summary
Jack groans and feels cold stone against his face. Tries to remember why he’s lying down and aching like a horse kicked him in the back. His mouth tastes of dirt: not the good, clean earth of green growing things, but rotten, fouled like graveyards and places gone too long without light or warmth.
He’s been doing this too long, if that strikes him as normal.
Another groan beside him, in a familiar voice, makes him open his eyes and try to push himself up. His arms stay behind his back. Well. That explains a lot.
“Gabriel…?”

Summary
Jack should know better. They’re not friends anymore. He can’t trust him. But he smells like Gabriel and he feels like Gabriel and he purrs into Jack’s ear and sucks at the sweet spot just behind his jaw, and then he bites it just so. And when Gabriel tightens the improvised collar around his neck and drops his weight onto him to pin him in place, something in Jack snaps. He thinks it’s his common sense.
