All of the smirking dropped out of Gabriel's face as Mohinder started opening boxes. He smiled more openly, nodding once in acknowledgement at Mohinder's suggestion. His breath hitched as the condom went on, and increased the intensity of the kiss. The lube felt a little strange, but it warmed in his hand as he rubbed at it with this thumb, at least.

"I'll be careful," he promised, pressing a kiss to the corner of Mohinder's mouth. "You'll tell me if anything hurts, I'm sure." Because that would only make sense.

He took a deep breath before he started, ready to focus. He reached down and wrapped his left hand around Mohinder's erection first, tugging lightly on it for a few strokes before pulling it up towards the stomach, more out of the way. With his other hand, he reached down and slid back until he found the right spot. He slathered excess lubrication from his fingers around the outside and gently massaged the area until it felt like Mohinder might take his index finger. He didn't push so much as try to wait for the muscles to work with him. When they did, he was surprised by the force. He smiled at Mohinder, somewhat with uncertainty, and searched the other man's face for clues before leaning in to kiss him. "Okay so far?" He'd wait a minute before trying anything else.
