Jay laughed quietly as Gabe popped his head out from the cocoon of blankets that he was wrapped in. "Y-Yeah I'm up. The storm woke me." It suddenly dawned on Jay that Gabriel was afraid of the thunder, he had been ever since they were little. Jay used to build them a little blanket fort and force Gabe to help him with his homework to get his mind off of the storms. He focused back on Gabe who scooted over to offer him a spot on the couch.
Jay settled himself next to Gabe and focused his attention back on the tv, the light rather harsh in the dark living room. It was a little awkward for a moment, Jay was always a terrible conversation starter when it came to awkward conversations. Another clap of thunder shook the apartment and he felt Gabe flinch next to him. It was subconscious. Or at least that's what he told himself. He slowly wrapped a careful arm around the boy's shoulders in a comforting manner, tugging him closer slightly. 'That's what friends do', He thought to himself, 'comfort each other. This isn't awkward if you don't make it awkward Castle.'
