i will burn this city down for a diamond in the dust
i will keep you safe and sound when there's no one left to trust

The day comes so suddenly, it almost surprises him. Almost. Nate is scrambling, near the end, trying to keep his fingers in everything; the food, the drinks, the preparations for the bonfires. After everything, was it so much to want just one thing go off without a hitch?
This is the nicest he’s dressed for anything in a long while, shorts and borrowed shirts traded out for something white, fancy, and altogether entirely inappropriate for a party. His arm is wrapped loosely around Sunjata’s waist, his hand squeezing the attuned’s hip. Every now and then, he steals a sip from his husbands glass, enjoying the familiarity even if it does nothing for him.
”I don’t know — I didn’t actually invite anyone personally.” Maybe he should have though, written something out and delivered it while he was in the Grounds. Though, by the same token, he has absolutely no idea who’s living where these days, so it could have simply been an exercise in frustration when he was already in a sour mood. ”I’d still be happy even if no one showed up, though.” The words are punctuated by a kiss pressed against Sunjata’s cheek, before Nate throws his gaze around the spread they’ve set out, a bright smile splitting his face.
