Nate smiled as he checked out his reflection. Then he reached out to Cora. Hey, sexybutt. How goes? Warmth and nervousness sang in the link.
Hey! Cora was radiating happiness at the touch of Nate’s psychic presence. She always loved to hear from him. I’m okay, how are you?
I am feeling very good. With the crazy singing things all around, I thought I would poke you and see how you were doing. Are Mister and Mouse serenading you? Talking to her always made him feel bouncy.
Well, I don’t know if I would call it serenading... She laughed as she recalled the animals’ running commentary on the movie she had watched the day before. They’re really, really smart.
Nate grinned, smiling to himself, letting warmth rolling along that link. Sounds good. Someone to keep you company. He envied them a little.
Cora tipped her head, contemplating those words. Are you lonely, Nate?
Sometimes. Not a lot of the time, but sometimes. Not in an ‘oh god, no!’ sort of way. Just.... sometimes things get a bit much. And it seems more and more lately that I feel out of sorts around most people. He felt a rush of embarrassment and didn’t hide it from her.
She frowned, her concern palpable through their bond. What do you mean, out of sorts? And...is there anything I can do to help?
Just... I think faster, and differently than most people. I’m not better than them, but it makes me feel odd to hear some of what they think, even under my tightest shields, and know how different I am. But you make me feel comfortable, and warm, and you always accept me.
Warmth, and care, and a dear love of how she acted slipped across that link. You already do.
You always accepted me, even before I got fast reflexes, she twirled the end of her hair around her fingers, smiling as she daydreamed. She knew he was smarter, that he needed different things to keep his mind active, but he'd never treated her any differently. Why would she? You're kind, and good, and funny, and your smile is...it makes me feel...
She couldn't quite find the right words, but she knew he could probably feel it. That warm, excited, happy feeling, mixed with a little bit of sexiness. It was a good feeling.
Nate blushed feeling warm, and smiled to himself, letting her feel that smile. And you make me feel like that, too. Like I can be myself, all of myself, with no worries. Like I can just be me, and never worry about it. You make me happy, like I never knew I could be. You are so loving, and warm, and you make me feel giddy in the knees when you smile.
Cora smiled back, laughing softly as she tried to imagine him getting weak in the knees. Maybe right after he’d aged up, but the rest of the time, he was so strong and heroic! Better my smile than kryptonite, I guess.
Yeah. I think so. He grinned to himself, letting the warmth and merriment carry over. I’m glad we can talk like this. It makes it easier to just hang out and just be us. He enjoyed doing it a lot.
I’m glad, too. I hope you always feel like that with me. She loved spending time with him, too, whether they were working on a project together, or just doing nothing at all. Do you have any special plans this weekend?
I’m pretty sure I always will. If not more so. He cared for her a lot. No, except maybe stealing you for movies, brownies, and teleporting to odd places? He grinned, eyes warm as he sent her warmth and care and bounciness.
Cora grinned. What kind of places?
China? Japan? London? Paris? New York? Niagara Falls? I know we have to be careful and I don’t want to freak or stress out your parents, but I want to go everywhere with you. Just to... do things. Not necessarily anything important, really. Just being with you. He had found, recently, that sex didn’t matter to him. Yes, it seemed kind of fun, in the memories and in his own memories, but... he was falling in love with Cora and he knew it. And he could wait, as long as he had to. For now, he just wanted... he just... wanted to share with her, everything else.
She bounced excitedly at the prospect of travelling with Nate. Even if all they did was take a day trip to the next state over, she would have been happy, but with Nate, it seemed like their imagination was the limit--and she was pretty sure that their imaginations had few limits. We should pick somewhere. So they’ll know where we’re going. You know, just in case.
Anywhere you’ve dreamed of going? Anything you’ve always wanted to do? And hey! We can use Graymalkin for a family vacation thing too! I could send you all to Disneyworld! He chuckled, eyes dancing, and warmth sent through the link.
I don’t know! She ran her fingers through her hair, considering the options. Disney would be cool, but so would Japan. Or...I don’t know. New Zealand, maybe. What about you? Where have you always wanted to go?
All of the above? Hah! Mirth and laughter flowed, then he smiled to himself. How about Tokyo, Japan, first, and see how that goes? He liked the idea.
Okay!She laughed with him--out loud--and didn’t mind the looks she got from Mouse and Mister. When do you wanna go? I hear it’s really hot in Tokyo this time of year, and even hotter in August.
As soon as we can get permission to go. I’d love to. OOo! Maybe we could go briefly after your Sweet Sixteen? And then longer in the fall. He grinned to himself, sending excitement toward her.
Maybe! She liked that idea, every bit as much as Nate seemed to like it. We can ask them later today. I wanna go everywhere with you.
Sounds good to me. And I want to go everywhere with you, too. You rock! And you are the person who makes it better. All of it.
Cora smiled. I’ll see you later, then. Right? Life might be crazy, but as long as she knew where Nate was, she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Absolutely right. Nate smiled as he ended the connection and stretched. Life was good and any time he talked to her, it was better.
