Who: Sophie and Nate for now
What: She's going in the room.
Warnings: Screaming. possible violence. Hopefully no death.

She shouldn't go in there. She knew it was a stupid idea, Eliot and Parker said it was a stupid idea, Hardison probably agreed and was just keeping his mouth shut. Even if Nate was in a good mood it'd not be a smart plan, and right now he was liable to pick a fight. Which may be why she was going in there. Everyone else would have their chance to be annoyed at him later once they were done this little exercise, and she'd be the supportive one balancing that out. Now was her chance to express her anger at what he was doing to himself.

Making sure he wasn't near the door, she opened it quickly and stepped inside the room, leaving the door slightly ajar - enough to slip out just as quickly if he rushed her as soon as he saw her, but closed enough that she could pull it shut if it seemed he'd be going for escape. Crossing her arms, she just looked at him.

	"Can't. We're locked in." She took his hand again, lightly holding it in hers as she offered the barest hint of a smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He tipped his head back until it hit the wall. "Great. What happens if the three amigos don't come back?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're locked in here forever with me? I'm sure there are worse fates." In actuality, she had her phone, so if they took too long she could get one of them to return, but she doubted it'd come to that. "They'll be back. I believe they've a bet going on as too which of us survives." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nate. They're worried about you. Can't you see that? They had this whole thing planned before I was even here." Keeping a hold of his hand, she moved a bit to his side, kneeling on the floor as she faced him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's why we want him back." Sophie sighed, realizing she as copping out using the team as her excuse. Leaning a bit closer, she traced his jaw lightly with a finger. "Forget the team for a moment." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sassdoesnthelp 2009-03-07 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	Nate didn't say anything for a moment. He pulled in a shaky breath, and leaned in, softly kissing her lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worstactressevr 2009-03-07 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. She sighed as his lips touched hers, shoulders dropping as if a weight were lifted, and she leaned into the kiss just a bit, her palm cupping his cheek. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sassdoesnthelp 2009-03-08 11:07 am UTC (link)
	Nate sighed softly, unwilling to break the kiss. He shifted, moving a little closer to her, adjusting his legs to bring her closer to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worstactressevr 2009-03-08 01:29 pm UTC (link)
	That small bit of urging was all she needed, and she shifted to leaned against him, fitting quite well against his chest, only breaking the kiss when breathing became necessary. "Oh, Nate." She dropped her head to his shoulder as she looked at him, easily able to ignore the hellish appearance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sassdoesnthelp 2009-03-08 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Sophie," Nate replied, pressing his forehead to hers. He moved his hand, fingers curling around her neck, just holding her to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can't do it any more. I'm sorry about all of this..." Sophie waved her arm to indicate the room, "but I can't stand and watch you destroy yourself, Nathan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sassdoesnthelp 2009-03-08 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not destroying myself, Sophie. I had it under control. These kids. They're young. They got the wrong idea. Their concern is touching, but it was misplaced." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No. No you didn't. It was worse. You were a mess. And when you're a mess, they're a mess. I'm a mess." She sighed, tilting her head back a bit to look at him, her eyes sad. She didn't have the right to ask him to stop it for her but he did deserve to know how she felt. "If it's under control, forced sobriety for a bit of time shouldn't be a problem. Insulting maybe, but you can handle it. And if you leave and decide to start the downward spiral again, that's your choice. But Nate... I have to tell you that if it gets to be like it was when I arrived? I don't think I'll be able to work with the team." Or him.

	"Did you ever consider that maybe it was as bad as it was because you weren't here?" Honesty time, and Nate looked something like a wounded dog, as he looked at her. "I'm still dealing with my son's death, the fall out from my marriage. This team is all I have, and without you, there is no team." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worstactressevr 2009-03-08 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	"I... did not." She nodded as she listened, fingers idly playing with the neckline of his shirt. "No one's saying you've not got a lot to deal with. But we don't want to be shoved out. It's not just a team anymore. Let us help. Please?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sassdoesnthelp 2009-03-08 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	Nate nodded. "Let me out of this room before I climb the walls and I'm make an honest effort. Hold my hand from time to time and I just might make it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worstactressevr 2009-03-08 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded slowly. "It's not up to me, but we can see what the others say. And you ought talk to Hardison, and makes things right." She reached for his hand and squeezed it lightly. "As long as you're trying, it will be ok." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sassdoesnthelp 2009-03-08 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Nate just nodded and let his head fall back to the wall. he was tired, despite the fact he'd been doing nothing but sit and pace the room and sit some more, for several days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worstactressevr 2009-03-09 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Want me to get one of the others to come back now and open up?" She shifted a bit so that she was sitting beside him as opposed to laying on him, her arm snaking around him to tug him close, pulling his head onto her shoulder. There was little wonder he was tired... they'd run him through the emotional wringer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sassdoesnthelp 2009-03-09 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Nate shook his head. "Just sit here with me until they come back on their own. No need to cut their fun short." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worstactressevr 2009-03-09 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Alright." She nodded a bit, tilting her head to kiss his brow almost maternally, and simply sat with him, holding his hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sassdoesnthelp 2009-03-09 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	He slid his arm around her and just held her to him, content for the moment to just sit like that, and wait for the others to return. (Reply to this) (Parent)
