Silence spoke louder than words did in that moment. Especially when the kid doesn't say anything to Stiles mentioning never wanting to be a wolf. Actually, that silence scares the hell out of the token human and fear spikes in the room just slightly. Right, calm down and take deep breaths. Don't let a panic attack take him in that moment. Definitely not while at the hospital. Hell, he hadn't even noticed the tears that were starting to prick his eyes.

"I'll do everything I can in order to help you get back home," Deaton tells Gabriel, reaching down and rubbing the boy's back.Not minding that the boy was pressing against his side like that. "It might take a while but I'll get you back home any way that I can."
