NATE
Nate shifts back, his face twisted in anger, though that doesn’t stop the burst of humourless laughter from him. ”Because I was apparently stupid enough to put it in you.” The laughter peters off, Nate shaking his head and clenching his teeth. ”I thought we were friends Remi. I thought maybe that was worth something.” A moment of thought, a pause of consideration, something.
”There must have been a...” He shakes his head, reaching up to push his hair back again. Hands move down his front, straightening his jacket. Nate seems to come together in a cool, put together package again. ”Thanks for uh, making everything so clear.”
Silence stretches out for a long moment, Nate’s head tipping back slowly to take in the boundless vista in the sky above. The reprieve lasts only as long as it takes for his gaze to find the moon, the Voice touched grey winking cheekily.
Hands are back on Remi in an instant, one wrapped halfway around his neck, a heavy thumb pressed into the hollow of his throat while the other roots in dark curls, keeping their eyes level. ”If you ever hurt my family again, I don’t care who or what I have to make a deal with, I’ll find a way to hurt you in a way that sticks.”

Deep down, it hurts to know
How bad I wanna call it quits
