Me and Dex

Gabriel gets upset and I'm thinking about restraining him but Dexter puts a hand on him, making him sit in the chair. I cross my arms, staring at Gabriel while Dexter comes over, shutting his phone. Gabriel pulls Dex close and...what the fuck? It feels like I just got punched in the gut as I watch Gabriel kiss Dexter. They can't...can they? They must, just look at them. I glance over at Martha, seeing how surprised she is too. At least she didn't know beforehand. And why does the sight of that make my stomach twist?

I try pushing that away for now while I listen as Martha tells me what's going on. "Jesus fucking Christ." I spit out. This is too much, I can't even think. I'm not sure what to deal with first, that or that Dexter and Gabe are...together. I run my fingers through my hair, trying to think and starting to pace, glancing at Martha every few minutes. 

"Uh...yeah." Martha jerks me out of the chaos running through my head. "I can help him but that'll only help him physically, anything else..." I shrug. They're on their own there and...god. I stand in front of him, staring down at him and seeing Dexter hold on to him so protectively. "I'll help him."
