NATE
i got a number on me, i got a number
won't make it through the high noon sun
won't make it through the high noon sun
Honestly, Nate isn’t really sure what he’s saying. He really isn’t sure why he’s saying it. Nikolai pulls something out of him that feels… familiar. It reminds him of family reunions, when he was a kid, and as soon as that thought flits through his head the other is hugging him. It takes Nate a moment to react, his own arms coming up to wrap around Nikolai.
“Aww, kittens got claws huh?” Nate teases weakly, his heart not really in it. He squeezes Nikolai tightly, his head resting on the younger ascenders shoulder for a long moment before he pulls away and clears his throat. He looks out towards the trees, sniffing loudly and pushing his hair back out of his face.
“C’mon, get your fuckin’ snake. Lemme take you back to town Ni-Ni.” The arm that’s thrown around Nikolai’s shoulder isn’t threatening, or heavy with unspoken intention. It’s just familiar, comfortable, fitting in perfectly with the quiet that lingers between them on their way back to the Grounds.
