[ He hits for the elevator and Gabe's words make him laugh, that and something like nerves. Not like the nerves he harbored during their first time, those deriving from having sex with someone new, as well as it being Jim's first time with a man in years. This, these nerves, they're more the result of a different kind of unknown. How will Gabe be when he's clearly trying to avoid anything related to the fog, when he's possibly under the influence of one of those goddamn drinks? He can't stew in them long, however, as James's own drink smothers them. No, he's got this. He'll remind Gabe that whatever happened, James is here to ground him, to show he's still worthy of non-traumatic things. That he cares, no matter their status. ] There's only one room between ours.

[ The elevator arrives but James highlights the first floor and uses that same hand to grab Gabriel's ass. ] We'll find an empty temp room instead.
