Since their enlistment, there had been one cadet that had Tanner's back from the beginning: Gabriel. Whether it was [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4306046]Gabriel standing for Tanner after the other cadets had conveniently ignored the boy[/url] or something entirely different, since they had met, Gabriel was always there to give Tanner peace of mind. Even now, the past few days hadn't changed, and Gabriel was still looking out for Tanner in every way he could. The boy couldn't feel anything but that he owed a debt to the gentle giant, and what was uttered the night before encouraged Tanner to promise.. no, resolve to take care of Gabriel until either one of them had met their end by titan or old age. Nevertheless, the duo were still innocent, despite that both of them were teenagers experiencing hormones. Gabriel had turned to a flustered mess as Tanner placed his arm around his neck, and Tanner followed suit as Gabriel placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. However, before any sort of conversation could continue further, Reese poked his face into the mess hall and sat down with both of them. Wishing to keep everything still a secret, Tanner reflexively pulled back from Gabriel before Reese had a second to guess what was locked away, hidden from the rest of the cadets. The conversation was cut short by the minor time they had to dress and eat before they began to head down the mountain once more. Tanner nodded to Gabriel's suggestion, and went to storm the food that was prepared. Snatching a few hunks of bread, Tanner carefully bundled two under his coat and stuck a chunk of buttery bread in his mouth. Tossing Reese a loaf of his own, Tanner hurried out the mess hall to gather what rest he still had to pack for the trip downwards. Tanner didn't have many belongings to call his and quickly packed, but a gaze towards Gabriel knew now there was more to be just his. Clasping his hands together and closing his eyes while Gabriel wasn't looking, Tanner mumbled a prayer to the Walls that the buns would still be hot for Gabriel if he grew hungry on the trip down. Looking back at Gabriel, a smile rested itself on Tanner's face, and he followed him outside and towards the growing number of climbers.[/color] [hr] [center][@LordVoldemort][@Solace][/center]
