Nate
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Nate let himself be pushed away easily, laughing the whole time. The fact that he wasn’t home, wasn’t even close anymore had filled him with a jittery, manic excitement. He didn’t expect Sam to understand, he couldn’t really, but he could try to explain, at least a little. Sucking in a deep breath, and trying to quell his laughter, Nate straightened. ”Look, I’m sorry, but... I’ve never been able to do that before.” This apology came off slightly more sincere than the first, but that still didn’t mean it was good.
It looked as if he was about to go on when something struck him, something Sam had said. Nate’s mouth closed in a sly smirk, his hand coming up to stroke at his chin while he regarded Sam. ”You think I’m handsome?” He let the question hang in the air a moment, his tone teasing and amused, then stepped forward, reclaiming some of the space that had been made between them. His hand dropped then, and he leaned against the wall, flexing just a little so he could watch for Sam’s reaction.
”Maybe we could get to know each other, huh?” Nate suggested, letting his eyes drag up and down Sam’s body too obviously to be ignored. ”I could use some company, a friend, being in a whole new world, you know?” Friendship was clearly not the kind of company he was taking about, but Nate was more than used to talking in circles to get something he wanted. All it really depended on now was if Sam wanted as well.
