Seeing Casey react so obviously to his affection was a wonderful thing and Gabriel was glad that their hand couldn't cover their beautiful face once again. They were beautiful and Gabriel wanted to do nothing but look at and hold and touch and be with Casey for the rest of their life. Even now, so early in the relationship as they were, Gabriel knew Casey was his chosen one and that they were meant to be together. All he needed to do was make sure Casey knew that this was the reality of the situation.

"From where I'm standing, I don't see us drifting apart," he said before leaning towards them and kissing them gently on the lips, eyes staring directly into Casey's while he did. When he ended the kiss, Gabriel stayed intimately close, still looking at Casey like they were the most precious and beautiful person in the world. "I want to be with you as long as you'll allow me to, Casey."
