I know.

[ Nate leans his head back to smile faintly at him. ]

You should do it. It's worth celebrating, and you're not a brat.

[ He hooks his arm around Nick's. ]

You still want me to Cullen for you?

I know a lot of people that would disagree with you on that.

( it's aimed as a joke and mostly gets delivered as one, though he gives up halfway through and closes his eyes. it's nice, he doesn't feel strangled by emotions the way he had been even a few minutes ago, and he wonders idly if it would be a good idea to get a regular supply of this stuff. absolutely not, but the thought holds great appeal right now.

he's still too stiff to move as naturally as he'd like, but nick still somewhat wraps himself around nate the moment the arm gets hooked through his. he winds his foot around nate's leg, laces their fingers together, leans until he can rest a head on nate's shoulder. nick can understand, rationally, why people might be...wary of contact with him right now, but he's got no such hesitance. )

Ask me again in a couple of days. Right now, I can't—

( even think about that, but he's not going to finish that sentence any time soon. )

[ Nate doesn't need any clearer signal than that. His arms wrap around Nick's shoulders and pull him in. His chin settles on top of his head and his hand moves gently over his back. If Nick wants to cuddle, Nate can absolutely cuddle. ]

I get that, [ He says, softly, and presses his lips into Nick's hair. ] So let's say it's on hold. I'll bake you a cake instead, how's that? It'll have everything that's not good for you inside. Full fat.
