Jason is alone up in his room, curled on his side with a book. He'll being going to sleep soon enough, but he just wants to finish one more chapter before he does. A quiet end to a quiet day.
Nathaniel slips out of his room and heads a door down, sighing tiredly. He's spent most of the day curled up in bed, unhappy, replaying everything in his head. He can't quite figure out what he's doing wrong, why Anita will go to everyone but him, but she can feed from him and his lust without all that much hesitance. It's horribly unfair, and he doesn't want to burden Asher with his unhappiness.
So he knocks lightly on Jason's door, just in case the wolf is already sleeping. When he's given the okay to enter, Nathaniel slinks in, eyes falling on Jason.
"Would you mind if I spent the night here?" he asks, hovering by the door.
Jason scoffs and motions him closer. "Do you even have to ask? You're always welcome here, Nat."
He sets his book on the nightstand and scoots over, making room. "You're back then? Everything ok?"
He's noticed the lack of friends from back home in the Bar and figured they must have been called back. Seeing Nat, though, he knows that everything is not ok.
Nathaniel scrambles into the bed beside Jason, cuddling close to the older man.
"We're back. Went through the crap with Musette. Not pleasant. I don't want to do that again... and Asher's with Jean-Claude and Anita. I'm not sure how I really feel about that, but Asher gave me the second mark." He tilts his head up to look at Jason. "He also gave me piercings, since the second mark is more for him than me. I was happy about it. And then I talked to Damian today and... he and Anita..."
He shakes his head, sighing.
"You're fucking her. Asher's fucking her. Damian's fucking her. But I'm not. I'm the only one feeding her but not having sex. I love her. I think she loves me because she looks after me like everyone else, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong that she won't make love with me too."
Jason sighs, wrapping his arm around Nathaniel, stroking his arm comfortingly. "Well, if we're getting technical, I 'fucked' her, but if it makes you feel any better, she considers me strictly a last resort."
He's quiet for a moment, wondering what to say. Should he tell Nat that he'll get there? Should he give the advice he knows he'll be giving Nathaniel shortly in that other timeline? Fucking Milliways.
"I'm not sure what to tell you, Nat. She does love you. She got pissed at me for pointing out how much she holds back from everyone, especially you. She doesn't think she should be able to love more than one person, and..."
He stops, again wondering how much to say. "You bring out the protector in her, Nat. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not an image she can shake easily."
