Johnny can't help but smirk. It's almost humanizing to see them sniping at each other like this. Even Nova relaxes a little in his arms.
"Enough," he says. "I know you've taken from me in the past, I know you lied to me. I know Gabriel kicked you out." He pulls his rabbit a little closer to his chest. "You should know that if you try any shit with me, Gabe will find out."
He feels a little twist in his gut. It sounds so petulant and helpless. The promise of 'my boyfriend will kick your ass'. He wants to be able to defend himself, he's always wanted it, even now he doesn't want to be beholden to anyone. This, he knows, is why he's always been reticent to summon Gabriel when he needs him, to tell the whole truth about his mishaps and nightmares. That part of him is unraveling bit by bit, but it's a slow process still hampered by pride.
