Gabriel's never been anything but respectful. In the most basic of ways, but also with a keen awareness that Dal hasn't always had the most autonomy. Yet it's never framed in a way to make it obvious. It's just... a very decent and basic kind of respect for Dal that includes his life experience.

Once he's on the bed, Dal scoots further on it, eyes fixed on Gabriel. Expectant, curious, more than a little eager, and just a tiny bit nervous. He leans in to meet the kiss, lifting a hand cup Gabriel's jaw. Those little affectionate gestures are important to him, to show that he's an eager participant.
