[ Gabriel's safety is what matters, but Jack can't help but be frustrated that he hadn't kept him more up-to-date with his status. It's not like it took anything more than a thought to send a message, and Gabriel hadn't even bothered with that much.
Jack closes the distance between them in a few swift strides, giving Gabriel's bag little more than a second of attention before looking him in the face. He can see some of the weariness at the edges of Gabriel's eyes. He looks the same way he always did after coming back from an op that hadn't gone entirely as planned.
There's no getting around it. Jack had been worried. Yet instead of finding the words to say that or express his concern, he falls back on something simpler.
He steps forward, closing the last foot of distance between them, and seizes Gabriel's forearms. Then he pushes back, exerting pressure until Gabriel's back is up against the door he'd just walked through.
Not interested in giving Gabriel the chance to get some smart comment in, Jack leans in to cover his mouth with his own, a kiss that's frustrated and warm all at once. ]
