Maybe all you need is someone to trust
A low growl rumbles through his chest as Nate bumps against him. Everything is so heavy handed with Nate but he kind of likes it. Maybe one day he'll ask about it. For now he mimics the headbutt before he starts his circling. He wonders how familiar Nate is with this form. If he steals it often. He wonders how much more powerful the other cat is, even if he is the bigger one.
Nate asks him to guess but he doesn't need to. Locke knows how this works, vaguely, and he's not an idiot. A multitude of things crackle along the bond. Anger, resentment, jealousy, blood lust. They only last a moment, quickly pushed down for something lighter. One day he'll sort all of this out, if he ever gets a moment to breath again. Now is not that moment because before he can take his next step, he's being thrown to the sand.
He lets Nate on top, rolling onto his back. This is easier and it's more fun being on the bottom anyway. He leans forward, paws going to wrap around Nate's shoulders as he angles his head to bite his neck. If it lands, it won't be hard, something almost playful really. They are playing after all. At least he assumes they are. It'd probably be more fun if they were human and maybe naked but he'll take this. He's gotta stop trying to get people to naked wrestle him anway.
