Samuel
It was hard to really know what Nate was thinking or feeling, when he laughed in the midst of his words - Sam tilted his head to the side, unsure of how serious he was meant to be taking all this. None of it so far had sounded like a good reason for them to not move their relationship onto the next level, at least not to him.
"Nate, I only know you as you've been here, but I...care deeply for the you I know." Avoid the L word, Samuel. "Unless you have some kind of plan to ruin it, why can't we move forward like this? With you, and me, as we are?" Slowly he reached up a hand to stroke along Nate's jaw, ending with his fingers under his chin, gently lifting it up. "You told me...that your old world was hard for a lot of reasons that don't seem to exist here. You're a doctor, a healer, a good man...one I'd like to be with for a long time."
He kissed Nate's chest where his heart beat beneath then looked up to meet his eyes. "If...the only thing stopping you is that fear...it doesn't scare me." And it really didn't - he had not seen in Nate any sign of becoming what he had warned Sam he had once been.
