if you really don't mind, take me as i am, take me as i am, when you get a chance
take your time, i understand, believe me when i say i carry all my sins
take your time, i understand, believe me when i say i carry all my sins
Why he keeps leaving for the Grounds, keeps agreeing to these trips and obligations and meetings and stress, is beyond him. Maybe though, maybe it’s because of the rush he gets when he comes home, when he steps through the portal into the port, sunset shining over the waves, and he feels a rush of home.
There’s a bottle of cheap, smoky, familiar liquor tucked under his arm, and a bag clutched tightly, carefully in his hands. More than he’d left with, gifts for Sunjata, for them, to take away the sting of loneliness. To apologize for stepping away, even if only for a short time. The walk home is long, automatic, and completely forgettable, until Nate comes to the point when he can see the edges of the house, and his steps quicken, just a touch.
It’s nice, to be able to be giddy, if only a little bit. Nice to be able to throw the door open and call, through the bond and out loud, ”Honey, I’m home!”. The house is quieter than he expects, dozing, as it where, and Nate turns in the direction of the kitchen, certain that if he doesn’t find Sunjata on the way, his husband won’t be scarce for long.
