“Mommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!” Nate came bouncing in with cookies and decaffienated coffee with yummy creamer in it.
“Hi!”
Emma was still putting on her clothes for the day when Nate bounced in. She sighed a little, but she already had her pants on, so she just continued to get dressed. “I already miss our powers. Though your father seems pleased they’re gone.” She pulled her bra and shirt on and motioned for Nate to set the things on the bed.
Nate didn’t so much as blink. In his memories of being an X-Person they had been in too many situations where clothing and modesty were damaged. Nude mom was weird, but not as weird as it should be. “Me too.” He sighed and sat on a chair. “It’s weird. Even the semi-AI I worked up is fritzing. Guessing because it is outside normal this world tech.” He rubbed his not-stubbly chin.
Emma nodded and sat on the bed. “I’m not surprised. We’ll just have to suffer through.” She sipped the coffee, taking her time to enjoy it. “So you want to date Cora.”
“I think so, yeah.” He glanced at her, hmming. “I want to at least open the subject with her? And see how she feels? But I wanted advice... she has just gone through her own changes, will be changing schools and all. I don’t want to burden her more.”
He worried.
Emma stroked his hair softly. “I might be biased, but I don’t think you’ll be a burden to her. It’s clear you two care about each other, and I think it could be a comfort to her, and to you.” She looked at the door to make sure Scott wasn’t in the hallway. “I knew this was coming, and I’m just glad you’re dating someone age appropriate. I will warn you that if you ask her out and she refuses it might make things awkward at first. Also, if you have sex with her before you’ve been dating four months I will be quite disappointed in you, and not restrain Harry when he finds out.”
“I just don’t want to make things harder for her.” Nate smiled softly. “Thank you. And yeah, I can see that. And what? No, I wouldn’t.” He sighed at her. “Besides, which, she is underage and I am over age, barely, and we have to watch that, too.” He facepalmed and sighed.
“Oh yes, we did make you 18, didn’t we?” Emma noted with amusement. “If you want advice about how Cora would take this, why don’t you ask Elaine? She’ll know better than I would, but at this point it’s almost disingenuous to pretend you’re not dating. You do spend quite a bit of time with her.”
Nate nodded. “I feel like we’ve maybe been pre-dating, if that makes any sense? I dunno. But I am interested and I don’t want to screw this up.” He sighed, then nodded to her. “Thanks, mom.” He hugged her.
She hugged him back, kissing his forehead. “It’s your first relationship. . . in this world during this time period. You’re going to make mistakes. As long as you are certain of your feelings and do your best to express them and listen and encourage her to express hers I think you’ll be okay.”
Nate nodded. “Thanks.” He hugged her again and then nodded. “I’ll do my best.” He smiled a little. “Don’t get too annoyed by lacking powers today.”
“What, you think you’re off the hook for breakfast already?” Emma asked with a laugh. “Not so fast, Nate.” She ruffled his hair. “You’ll see Cora later, right now you’re going to talk to me while we eat the delicious stuff you’ve made.”
Nate laughed. “Bacon is cooking, cookies are baking, and eggs are rising.” He grinned at her and nodded. “You got it, mom.” He hugged her and settled back.
