Keith rose a brow at him and grinned. "Hell no, the boy can't keep a secret for shit." As good of a kid Gabe was, tell him something that got him excited and he wanted the WORLD to know right then. It would have been impossible to keep this quiet if he found out. "Frankie's the only person I told." So of course that meant Cross knew too, and maybe she told Eva. And if Eva knew, then there was a chance she said something to Mina and Egil about it…
The tatted Tora sighed. "To be honest though, I don't know who all knows right now." Oh well, it was a surprise for Toru so that's all that mattered.

Satoru laughed, because... well, it was pretty true. Though he did wind up wondering who all knew... Eva, Mina, and Egil had all gotten out of here pretty damn quick after all. With his luck, they had probably known. Oh well... Couldn't find fault in that. The surprise had been pretty damn excellent.
He was looking forward to seeing how Gabe reacted though...

Keith looked over at Gabe, still snoozing on the chair. He didn't wanna wake him up, but he was also kinda excited to tell him. He looked back at Satoru and laughed. "Gabe's gonna freak." The two of them got along really well, and he knew Satoru adored the kid, he was sure he'd be excited.

"We either tell him when he wakes up or see how long it takes him to notice the ring," The bedridden gunslinger pointed out. There was no way Satoru was waking the kid up on purpose, he would be up all night if he didn't nap now. "I just hope he doesn't make a Frodo Baggins joke."

Keith had to keep himself from laughing too loud at that last part. He hadn't even THOUGHT about that! "Well, you got the height down." he grinned. "We could dress you up for Halloween and walk around with Gabe." Satoru should have really known better than to say any of that in front of him, he had some new ammo now.

Satoru twitched and he held up the ring to eye level, studying it critically. "Is it too late to change my mind?" He said dryly. Not that he ever would but... well, he needed to retaliate SOMEHOW, now didn't he?

"Oh yeah." Keith chuckled, looking back at him. He poked Satoru's chest lightly and grinned. "I own you now, you're my precious." He really couldn't hold back from saying it, the smaller man had left himself out for that one.

Satoru snorted with laughter, "oh god that was TERRIBLE." He laughed out despite the pain in his ribs oh god it hurt to laugh ow ow ow. "I am in PAIN from that pun that's how bad it is," he tried to cut off the laughter but it didn't work too well. "Might be the ribs, probably the joke."

Keith started laughing himself after Satoru's reaction. He took a breath, still smiling as he still tried to get over the laughing fit. "Yeah, that was pretty bad, but you left yourself wide open for it." It was probably the only real Lord of The Rings reference he knew, might as well use it at such a perfect opportunity.

Satoru finally managed to get the laughter to stop and give his ribs a break, ahhhh... that had hurt like a bitch. Hell, breathing hurt like a bitch. But he didn't want to fall asleep yet. "Any idea how soon I can go home?" He asked, meaning Keith's apartment. Over the years that had definitely become much more 'home' than his own abode.

Keith ran a hand through his hair and thought for a second. "Oh, uh, a couple days? Probably a week tops I think." That part of the conversation with the doctor had gone on around the time that Gabriel had told him Satoru was up, so he'd been focused on something else at the time.

Satoru groaned, dammit... There was no way he'd stay sane here for more than a couple of days, tops. "If they say week I'm going AWOL after three gorram days." Would it be painful? Yes. But he'd rather be home than in a hospital. At least it smelled normal at home.

Keith rolled his eyes and gave Satoru a small grin. "Yeah well, just do everything the doc tells ya and you should be fine." Hopefully it wouldn't be too long, he'd like to have him back home as soon as possible too. He leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Don't give 'em any reason to keep you here any longer, got it asshole?"

Satoru smiled a little. "Yeah yeah, I got it ya idiot," came the fond reply. Married, he remembered, they were getting married...
What exactly was THAT going to entail? He was fine with just signing the certificate and getting on with life... But he doubted Egil or Mina (and maybe even Gabe, the kid was four, the world worked a certain way when you were four) would let that just be it.

Keith smiled again. This was… this was gonna be great, he knew it. Things might get bumpy along the way, but there was no such thing as a perfect relationship anyway.
While these thoughts came to mind, Gabriel was starting to wake up. He heard more laughing, he liked laughing. "Daddy…" he mumbled sleepily as he rubbed an eye.
The brunette's smile grew and he took Gabe and sat him on his lap. "Hey little man, we got somethin' to tell you."
The little blond, who was blinking his eyes to try waking up more, looked between the two men. "Wha?" he asked lazily, as he leaned against his father. Was there a surprise? They sure looked happy.
