RP: This Was Going to be Awkward
Who: Nathan; Kelly; [though OPEN to Simon and/or Imogen eventually I'd imagine]
Where: barn site
When: Evening, January 23, 2010
Rating/Warning: tbd
Summary: Nathan has to prove to Kelly that he is in fact himself.
Status: Closed; Incomplete

He couldn't exactly pinpoint what he was feeling at the moment--confusion, irritation, nervousness, they all seemed to blend into one monster emotion that had his usually sarcastic smile faltering a bit. He'd said things--things he wasn't sure if she'd remember, things he wasn't sure he wanted her to remember--and now, after everything that had happened Nathan wasn't exactly sure how to deal with that. He didn't normally talk to people, he just joked, but with her...well he'd talked to her that night.

Hands in his pockets, he kicked rocks on the ground as he walked down the road, pausing when he recognized the unmistakable image of Kelly ahead. She was a little Mountainy compared to some girls, but like everything else about her--aside from that god awful accent and the whore make-up--it worked for her.

Nathan paused, pulling one hand out of his pocket to wave at her. He knew better than to approach Kelly right away, especially if she was upset about something--and his not being dead was kind of a big something to be upset about.

She hadn't let herself believe it was really him. Even when he'd said things that had a definite Nathan ring to them. She'd spent too long watching that DVD Simon had given her, laughing and crying and thinking far too much about the Irish prick. She'd only visited his grave the once, that first time with everyone else, because it was too much for her, like pouring vinegar into an open wound or something. She instead she'd taken pills and tried to numb everything a bit because it seemed like the best idea, in the short term.

She'd stopped walking towards town just in case she missed him, only it wasn't going to him was it? He was dead. She'd seen him, with that fucking spike through his stomach. She'd watched as they'd buried him. You didn't come back from that. Only there he was walking towards her, only some of his usual cockiness was gone, which really only helped with the belief it wasn't really him despite the fact that it had to be, didn't it? She stayed where was for a moment just watching him, trying to decide what the hell she was meant to do. Then she decided.

Running up to him as fast as she could she started to beat him about the head and upper body. "What the fuck, Nathan, you little prick!" she hissed as she continued to beat him. "You were...you're meant to be dead. How the fuck did you pull this one off?"

"Jesus fucking Christ, Kel!" he snapped, moving to get out of her reach when she hit him. All things considered though, he was glad she was reacting this way. This was much easier to deal with than, oh say a hug.

"The entire lot of you didn't believe me!" he reminded her, pointing an accusing finger at her face. "I told you I had a power, and you all said I was being stupid! Well who is the stupid one now, huh? I'm fucking immortal, baby!" he told her, holding his arms out almost as if daring her to test the theory. Then he thought better of it and hugged them around himself dramatically, as if afraid. "You really need to stop hitting me!"

Reluctantly she stopped, though she was still pissed at him for going and dying like that. Right in front of her! Taking a step back mostly to resist temptation to do anything to him.

"You're immortal?" she repeated. "What kind of wank power's that? We fuckin' buried you! You were dead for like...days! You could've had to spend the rest of your life in a fuckin' coffin!" And yes she was pretty tempted to test it out at the moment, but she was fighting that urge. "I thought you were dead, you prick!" she accussed, hitting him on the arm once more for good measure. "I thought I was never gonna see you again! Don't you ever do that to me again. I don't give a shit if you're immortal now!"

"Ouch!" Nathan nearly squealed like a little girl, pulling his arm away from her. "Fuck! It's not like I planned it that way," he pointed out. "I woke up in the coffin with nothing but me iPod and wank hand to keep me company, and then suddenly I was here! Let's be honest here, I'm not smart enough to know how all of this shit works! And even if I was, who in their right mind would go 'oh yeah, bury me alive please! It'll be tons of laughs later when I wake up!'" Nathan told her sarcastically.

He paused then for a moment, expression softening ever so slightly, only a subtle difference that someone who knew him would pick up on, and he asked her, "So, you missed me then?"

"You're really disgusting, you know that, yeah?" she asked, pulling a face at the 'wank hand' part. "And I didn't say you planned it, did I? I'm just sayin' that it's a shit power if it takes that long to work. Not that mine's exactly great."

She glared at the question, not entirely sure to answer, honestly didn't seem like the smartest move though. Nathan was hardly the modest type. "Yeah well there was't anyone else ripping the piss out of everyone at the community centre. It was well boring," she said. It was almost a yes. In a way that suggested it wasn't really him she missed, which worked.

"I'm only tellin' you the truth!" Nathan told her, laughing at how disgusted she was. Honesty was the best policy to get into someone's knickers though, right? Or something like that.

At her indirect answer to his question, his amused smile softened a bit and then turned smug. "You missed me!" Nathan taunted, unable to play nice because he was, well, Nathan. "You probably even cried, didn't you!"

Simon had been there the entire time, staying invisible and keeping his thoughts to himself so Kelly couldn’t figure out he was there. He was currently eating a baked cookie, munching on the delicious treat while his eyes shot back and forth between the two. He would have made himself known but hiding from them proved to be more entertaining. He found that if he couldn’t be seen then maybe the two of them would talk out their feelings. It was obvious to Simon that Kelly harbored them days after Nathan was pronounced dead.
