Gabe gave a weak laugh and rubbed the back of his neck. "Now that's not really my place to say." He told her. "Let's just say I was more of a ransom than anything." He hadn't been real important to begin with, just a bargaining chip, and the results hadn't even been worthwhile with what happened to Satoru.
Sometimes he thought they should have just let those thugs kill him.

Fei was suddenly overcome with a feeling of guilt. He still seemed so shaken up... And she hadn't been there for him at all. She had been too busy focusing on how miserable she had been. Fei pulled the Kuma into a crushing embrace, clinging to the fabric of his shirt and burying her face in his chest. God... she could have lost him. That fight they had had could have been the last things they ever said to each other.

Gabe's eyes widened slightly, then closed them as he put his arms around her just as tight. As much as he wanted to say something to assure her that he was fine now, that there wasn't anything to worry about, but the truth was that he was still shaken up about it. He didn't know what to say, so he just sat there and hugged her for a while, resting his chin on the top of her head. Seriously, what did he say right then?

Fei was quiet for a moment while she continued to process what had just happened. After another minute or two, she spoke. "You weren't going to tell me, were you?" Her voice was unusually soft.

Gabe shook his head a little. "Not for a while at least, wasn't exactly sure how I'd bring it up." Really, how did he bring that up in normal conversation? And besides… "Didn't wanna worry anyone else, but I guess that's not happening." He sighed.

Fei flicked Gabe in the nose. She was still pouting, but her good humor appeared to have returned. "I'm always going to worry about you, stupid. But I'll worry about you more if you don't talk to me." She mustered up the biggest smile she could, although the concerned was still apparent in her eyes. "Are you going to be okay?"

Gabe gave Fei a look at the nose flick before sighing. Wasn't that a big question? To be honest he wasn't really sure. Physically, yeah, he'd be fine, but there was more to it than that. Getting to where he could shoot a gun was still hard without remembering everything, and his dad and Satoru were trying to get him to see a therapist even(which he absolutely hated the idea of).
Then again, he was sure he'd be fine in the end. Other people had had it much worse. He grinned a little and nodded. "Yeah, 'course I will. It's in the past." He just had to watch himself was all, nothing he couldn't handle.

"Well..." Fei loosely wrapped her arms around Gabe's neck. There was a sort of thoughtfulness hidden under her casual posture and tone. "The past can hurt. It can hurt for a long, long time. And it never stops hurting completely, but it becomes a sort of pain you can live with, you know?" Although her words her vague, it was clear she was speaking from experience. "Sometimes distracting yourself is the best you can do for awhile... and then one day you'll wake up and realize your past doesn't hurt so bad anymore." She moved in closer, pressing her forehead up against her companion's. A smile crept across her face. Her voice was a low whisper. "I can distract you, if you'd like."

Gabe listened to Fei, and honestly, he agreed. What he had gone through wasn't as bad as other people he knew, and if they could all act like semi-functioning people, then hey, there was plenty of hope there for him. Hell, he knew Fei had had her share of crap just from that one night they had spent in the lounge at the dorms. His thoughts moved away from that though when she pressed their foreheads together. He grinned and ran a hand through her hair. "I think I'll take you up on that offer..."

Fei pecked him on the lips. "Fantastic." She opened the remainder of his shirt and wove her arms inside, letting her fingers wander across his scarred skin. "So... what do you want me to do, hm?" She smirked as she began to play with the waistband of his pants. "Your wish is my command."

Gabe tried to beat his blush down, but it wasn't working too well. "I'll let you take the reigns on this." He managed to get out without stuttering(thank god). It was probably for the best anyway, Fei knew more about what to do than he did… Dammit he was such a looser.

Fei chuckled and captured Gabe's lips with her own once again, kissing him aggressively while pushing the remainder of his shirt off of his shoulders. There was a sort of electricity in the air, an intense sort of feeling that the Tora couldn't quite name. It had been awhile since she had felt like this. She had forgotten how good it felt- nervous anticipation. Fei pulled back slightly, just enough so she could whisper in his ear. "As you wish."

((Timeskip~))
Gabe was silent as he tried catching his breath. His hair was disheveled and his brain was still processing everything, but there was a strangely goofy smile on his face because dammit that was good! Everything was warm and fantastic and for once he didn't care if he looked like a moron.

Fei lay beside Gabe, her legs entangled with his and her arms wrapped around him. She has her head on her heaving chest and quietly listened to the the thudding of his heart while her own breathing slowed. She was sweaty- they both were- but it was far from bothersome. Honestly, this was always her favorite part. Being able to lay, draped over each other, skin on skin, completely exhausted and content.
The Tora hummed happily and nestled her face into Gabe's neck. "I feel like I'm glowing," she murmured, still somewhat dazed.

Gabe smiled wider and pulled her closer. "Me too." He agreed, keeping his voice soft. Glowing was a nice word for the this, it felt right. For once he didn't care about anything else, it was just the two of them alone and it was so relaxing. He kissed the top of Fei's head and laughed. "Thank you." He told her, voice about as sincere as he could possibly make it. He'd really needed that, and he wouldn't have wanted it with anyone other than her.
