#16
Dedicated: To
inawonderland because it is her birthday today. Other than that... there's not really any fics I've ever read that are Nate/anyone... Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Also, the old Guilty Pleasure video, because YES!
Pairing: Nate Novarro/Alex Suarez
It's not that Nate didn't enjoy the first video, he really did. He got to lie in a bed next to Alex, of course he enjoyed it. But he likes the way that the new one turned out. And really, Alex in a tie. Yes, please.
It wasn't that Alex was all he thought about. Because it honestly wasn't. Sometimes he thought about fish. And once in a while about Victoria's ass. But that was about it.
Alex wasn't the first guy he'd liked, far from it. One of the guys had in fact been Mr Gabe Saporta. And had ended when Gabe had stuck his tongue into Nate's ear. Nate did not have it in himself to find Gabe's tongue appealing after that point.
But Alex's tongue, now that was appealing. Even when he was mercilessly ripping the piss out of Nate, Alex was still gorgeous. And Nate was quite happy to stare at him all day.
~~~
"Gonna go home, take a nice hot shower... and go to sleep. Goodnight."
~~~
"Alex, get out the fucking shower. I need to piss and Victoria's using the downstairs to shave her legs." Nate was banging furiously on the door as Alex flung it open. In only a towel.
"Well, I'm finished now." He waltzed past the shorter man, who was staring quite obviously at his body. Nate almost fell over.
~~~
The next time that Nate really thought about Alex - Not in that subconscious way where you think about everything, but really thought about him - he was pressed close at a club that they were at. The music was shitty and the beer wasn't that much better. But he had a drunk Alex pressed against him and well-
"Alex, are you singing Pleasure Ryland?" Alex just continued to sing along, dancing to an entirely different beat from the music playing. He stopped after the chorus, probably because he had forgotten the words, but he started to speak instead."
"Yes, but I'm singing it in your ear." When he had Alex this close to him, he wasn't going to complain about some drunk singing. Not at all.
"Ok, how much have you had to drink?" Alex shrugged and began breathing heavily into Nate's ear. His hands moved from the table to rest against Nate's chest and in his hair. Nate didn't bother pushing him away, because really, he wasn't doing all that much.
"I want you. Nate, please." Then Nate did push him away. No matter how much he thought about Alex Suarez, he wasn't going to be a drunken adventure. "Please, Nate. I know you stare at me. I've seen you." Instead of saying something he'd regret, he walked away.
~~~
The next morning, after Nate had gotten Gabe to bring Alex home and he had gone on alone, he woke up to an unfamiliar feeling. Someone was draped over him. He hadn't drunk that much, he couldn't have. He had even driven home. Alone.
"Good morning." He heard from the head on his chest. His clothed chest, he noted. It was Alex. He could tell that voice anywhere.
"How did you get in here?" Nate sat up, pushing Alex off him in the process and moved away. Alex looked a bit hurt, but sat on the opposite side of the bed, giving Nate enough space to breathe.
"Gabe brought me home after you ditched me in the club. And well, I came in here and saw you asleep. And I was pretty drunk. Otherwise, I never would have had the guts." Nate didn't say anything to Alex, just looked him over. He was sitting still, staring alternately between his hands and Nate.
"Did you mean what you said about... about...?" Nate let the sentence hang. Alex would know what he was talking about. Of course he would.
"Well, maybe not the Pleasure Ryland thing. But that was kinda fun." Nate let his shoulder slump a little and saw Alex reach his hand out quickly. "But I did mean the thing about wanting you. Of course I do. I sat in the bathroom for twenty minutes last week waiting for you to bang on the door." Nate's mouth dropped open a little, but still said nothing. "God, I would love to see you look at me like that again."
"Really?" Alex nodded, moving a little closer to the other man, letting his hands reach out in front of him.
"So... what about you? How do you-" Alex was cut off by Nate leaning over and pressing his lips quickly to his friend's.
"Yes?" Alex pulled him forward so their foreheads were touching.
"Yes."
A/N: Really, how could you not love these two? Really. Also, I'm very upset that Nate doesn't have a wiki page. Get to it people. Get to it. It's inawonderland's birthday today, so that's who it's dedicated to. Because oh my gosh, little star!
