[Gabriel is surprised at how natural this feels, how easily they slip into this even with the gulf between them and the amount of time it's been since he imagines either of them have let anyone get this close. At the same time, that's what makes the most sense. Of course it's Jack--he's been the one constant for most of Gabriel's life, and it's only circumstance that's prevented them from doing this sooner. Maybe it's the alcohol talking, or maybe he's just trying to convince himself that this is okay and not eventually disastrous, but in this moment, it feels okay. Like this is just the logical conclusion of the thirty years they've spent knowing each other.
Very quickly, however, just kissing is not enough. They've already started to undress from the party but put that by the wayside once they started talking. Gabriel is in a slightly greater state of undress but Jack is still wearing the dress shirt from the evening, and as he continues to deepen the kiss, he decides he's going to do something about it.
That hand on Jack's chest starts working at buttons, sliding inside the shirt and across his pecs as he gets the first two undone.]
