It was still so mind-boggling that someone like Gabriel wanted to be with him. But it made him so happy to know it, even if it's not something they can act on immediately. Not only did Gabriel want to be with him, he was willing to wait. What a big-hearted man he was!
"As long as it takes," he reiterated firmly.
The trial would give Dal time to try to figure some things out on his end. Surely Gabriel didn't want him to keep hooking once they were together, even if he understood better than most that all that sex was meaningless. But what else could he do without any skills, without any ID, without being able to read fluently in English?
Moving back to his side of the table, Dal mulled these things over while he started eating again. First, a few small bites from the curry, then he'd steal a few bites of Gabriel's fried rice. This was nice, just being able to be in the company of someone who actually wanted to spend time with Dal the person, not Dal the whore.
"You gonna stay here 'til it's over?" He didn't mean this hotel specifically, but more in the city. It would be nice if Gabriel was nearby for a while longer.
