Hectic

Riley stepped into the room, smiling at him and sitting with him until Gabriel came out. The boy came out, dripping wet with a towel loosely hanging from his hips. Riley smiled.
"What do you think about me and Lance?" He asked softly. Gabriel seemed to think before clapping his hands. Riley immediately held one hand up as if saying stop. Gabriel quietly and slowly got closer to the hand and let one finger make letters on his brothers palm.
This was their own secret way of speaking.

Calvin tilted his head to the side as he watched them. It was sort of cute, watching how shy and tentative GAbriel was.

Riley gave a sad smile, kissing his brothers cheek before walking out, saying a quiet thank you after him.

Calvin gave a small frown, wondering what he'd said, well wrote.

Gabriel got dressed in the bathroom, coming back to sit with Calvin while he tried to brush out his hair.

"Want some help with that?" He offered.

Gabriel paused before nodding, handing over the brush and moving to sit infront of Calvin. He used to sit in his fathers lap and let him do it for he didnt wanna make Calvin uncomfortable.

"You mind? Easier this way..." Calvin nodded as he gently moved Gabriel to his lap and took the brush.

Gabriel shook his head, sitting still for Calvin and chewing his lip.

Calvin quietly ran the brush through his hair, being gentle wherever it was tangled. He handled Gabriel as if he would break if Calvin was too rough.

Gabriel probably would have, he was just that weak with his AIDS. But he was enjoying this throughly.

Calvin hummed, singing softly, barely a whisper behind Gabriel as he brushed his hair.

Gabriel was loving it, his hands thrumming along on Calvin's legs.

Calvin smiled, it was so hard not to just kiss his neck. Just a peck, not enough to make him uncomfortable... but last time he kissed his forehead and GAbriel had said not to do that. So he resisted, simply running his fingers through Gabriel' hair to make sure he was finished.

Gabriel smiled sweetly, his head dropping forward as he dosed off.

Calvin chuckled lightly as he lifted Gabriel carefully and laid him down, tucking him in and brushing the hair from his eyes.

Gabriel's eyes opened a bit, he blinked. The boy reached a hand out for Calvin. If he had been away and alert he wouldnt have done it.

Calvin smiled and took the hand, stroking it

Gabriel turned over, tugging Calvin to Lay behind him as he shivered.

Calvin grinned at him and wrapped his arms snugly around the tiny boy's waist.

Gabriel pressed back against him, his fingers dancing over Calvin's arms. He wished Calvin could understand like Riley did.

Calvin was loving this. He wasn't quite sure why but he was... he held him close but not tight enough to hurt him.

Gabriel was loving it just as much, never had he just been HELD by a man....

Calvin wouldn't have sex with him. Evven if he asked. No, it wasn't because of the AIDS. It was because he wouldn't take advantage of him like that. He would kiss him maybe someday but now, holding was all the further it would go.. And that was fine by him.

Gabriel took Calvin's hand, doing to it what he did to Riley, but Calvin didnt know their code...
Riley needed to teach him.
