Elijah stared at him , about to argue but then his shoulders drooped. "Fine, have it your way." He couldn't handle this right now. It was too much. He wanted to be a good boyfriend even though he had no experience. He wanted to try to care but his good intentions and attempts at being caring and trying were just hitting a brick wall. Perhaps it was because he now realized how close he had been to having someone he was certain would have been better. A part of his brain reminded him it was easy to say that when he only had a theory on something as a possibility as he'd never had a chance to know Gabriel well enough to get to know all parts of him and possibly get on each other's nerves. Still, he sat in his own room and went into his lock box to re read the letter. At least it made him feel like someone in the world actually cared about him even if they had disappeared.
