takes the bottle gently, smiling a bit. He'll be sure to drink it, but he doesn't really call back, just texting Arthur with a small 'thanks'.

glad he didn't try to talk to him while he was there. He glanced at the text but really he had work to do.

lets him go, muttering something to his secretary as he retreats back to his own office, to work.

still isn't sure what to think of him. He headed back home to settle in with a good book.

just believes Arthur doesn't give a shit, so he's acting the same way back, handing the wine to the secretary and lighting up a cigarette.

wouldn't have brought him wine if he didn't give a shit about him.

..could agree, but he still isn't sure if the brit is angry at him for that little cheating (he certainly is), and he does misses the other's company. Ah, getting over it, simply.

gotten over that, he just doesn't trust him anymore.

can live with that, they both have plenty of reasons not to trust each other.

he has the better reason and the most recent one at that.

warn Arthur not to throw childish arguments at him.

not doing any such thing.

groans and smacks his office door close.

would say he's being childish if he was there to see that.

doesn't want to know, else he will personificate Antonio's dream and shoot the brit.

glad he didn't actually wish him a happy birthday in that case.

glad not to see his face.

can't help but wonder why Gabriel is the one that's so bitter, after all Gabriel was the one that made all the choices that lead him to where he is now.

not bitter... But he can't understand Arthur's actions so he's drawing all the wrong conclusions. If it depended on him, they'd be acting as good friends.

doesn't think there is anything between them that should be considered good after that.

groans. Ah, look who is the bitter one!

isn't being bitter, just realistic.

calls it bitter, because he could list a dozen things that he, gabriel, should be bitter about but he isn't.
