there's a niche in his chest where a heart would fit perfectly
They’ll have time to spend wrapped up in each other’s arms, tangled so close there’s absolutely nothing between them, but right now Nate needs to ensure his husband is taken care of. He needs to take care of him. He has to pull away, just for now. The words are a buzz that echoes softly through the bond as he turns to stir the frying food, and fulfill the Sunjata’s second request.
A soft hum leaves Nate as he fills the glass, turning just in time for Sunjata to really see how quickly he closes down, the light in Nate’s eyes dying away to a numb nothing, and the glass slipping from slack fingers. ”Uh...” Blinking, he looks down, at his hands, at the mess he’s made. ”Fuck, don’t move.” His voice is quieter, steadier than it should be.
Adam took me to the Voice. Picking his way carefully across the floor, he grabs a broom. I... don’t actually remember a lot, after that. Nate rolls his shoulders a little, decidedly looking anywhere but at his husband. Lies are easy to catch through the bond, but this one is obvious even without it.
