nick isn't the kind of person that feels settled very often. he's always got something going on, some drama that's spun out of control or some situation that's got him in his head. even the menial stuff, the day to day stuff just rattles through his head, because he never quite learned how to sit still. it's easy with people like nate though, there's a calm that settles with the fingers carding through his hair that he doesn't get with very many people. a very short list, actually, if he cared to think about it that closely. )

You know I'd want to know if you were hurt. I'd want to help you. But if I couldn't help, I'd at least want to do...this. Cause you'd do it for me.
