There was a very soft sigh from Jim as Sasan thanked him. He had to been finished. He just needed time to think it through. So when he waved away the sentiment, it wasn't something disparaging so much as necessary for the blond.

"Not guilty because of him. He's gone. He's completely gone and there's nothing I can ever do to get him back. Guilty because-- It's not fair to you. It's not fair to be compared to someone like that." When Jim was drunk, or even high from the fight, he spoke slowly and blinked slowly. He didn't gesture at all, but let his arm lay across the arm rest as he gazed up at Sasan. "And it's not fair that I've completely latched onto you. But I want you to know that it's not the way you look. I don't feel this way about Gabriel at all."

That might be the best confession possible at this time.

"And I'm always going to save you, Sas."
