Status complete
Nate was unsure about this older body, but, heck, it was time to stop being so afraid of being himself. So, here he went, On Thursday, to see a good friend. Or at least she had been when he was small. She was someone he trusted and he truly wanted to believe nothing would change. He hoped it would be true. He stood, his 6 foot 2 inch height, and knocked at her door, having come by taxi, and shifted from foot to foot. He felt awkward still, in this body, and wished he knew how to deal with this craziness.
Navi opened the door, reading a magazine up until the moment she opened it up. She blinked at the person standing on the other side. He was handsome - taller than Pete, more muscular - but she felt something familiar about him. Kind of like when Link was little, then not -
“Nate?”
Nate smiled softly when she recognized him, and he nodded slowly, eyes seeking hers. “Yup. It’s me. Orange County seems to want me to be older now.” His voice was deeper, too, and more settled, a little gravelly.
Navi grinned, letting her wings out and flying over to hug him. “Oh, sweetheart, you’re still adorable, hush. Come in! Do you want cookies? I was baking some, they’re in the oven.”
Nate smiled and hugged her close, then smiled at her. “I’d love cookies. And maybe I can make you something!” He grinned at her. He should have known she would still be awesome. “How is growing a youngin doing for you, other than making you yet more beautiful?”
She rolled her eyes, ruffling his hair. “Just because you’re handsome and tall doesn’t mean you have to flirt with me. I’m still older than you.” She shut the door behind him, flying toward the kitchen.
Nate chuckled. “And still beautiful. And I still think of you as an awesome friend who is awesomely cool. So there.” He grinned at her and followed along.
Navi just kissed him on the nose before going to get the cookies out of the oven. “So, you just ... woke up huge?”
“Anything I can do?” Nate flushed and grinned fondly at her as he watched her go. “Yup. Had a couple of pretty crazy dreams, and then woke up in pain and hungry. Insta growth spurt. From 4’8” to 6’2” in one night.”
That made the fairy wince in sympathy. “Owwww. Well, we can work on the hungry and I have some Tylenol if you need it?”
Nate smiled at her. “I’ll take both, and hey. Maybe I can cook for you?” He grinned at her. “I’m not a genius at that, but I do know a few things.”
“You can cook if you want, but you don’t have to! I’ve been cooking loads. We probably have the same appetite right now!” She bounced into the kitchen, smiling when the cookies smelled ready. She went to the fridge to pull some steaks.
Nate followed her, his stomach rumbling loudly. “You are perhaps the most awesome person ever.” He liked this little but amazingly large in passion woman. “I could saute some veggies to go with those?”
He knew he didn’t have to cook anything, but he liked doing and being helpful.
“Oooh, that’d be good! There’s loads of ‘em in the fridge too.” She hummed as she started to put a dry rub on the steaks, bouncing a little and letting her wings flutter. “So, did you tell that girl you went to the future and had babies with that you’re legal now?”
“Yes, actually. She and I sort of moved on these last few weeks, and we both decided, somewhere along the way, to move away from that. She is involved with another guy now.” Nate nodded, mind tightly shuttered, and both sadness and a feeling of right about the decision hitting him.
“What? She is?” Navi blinked and pouted out her lower lip. “That’s sad.” She wanted everyone to have someone in their life.
Nate smiled softly. “I’ll be fine, Navi. Life moves on and I will be okay. If I ever need love or sex like that I am sure it will fall in my lap. My life tends to go that way.”
Navi was normally pretty open about sex, but this kid had been seven or eight the last time she’d seen him. She wrinkled her nose and flailed. “Eeee, noooo, no talking about unfs to your auntie Navi!”
Nate was amused and snickered. “You were the one talking about the woman I had babies with! Besides, I’m a teenager! I’m supposed to think about those things.” He grinned at her. “But I promise not to tell you about it.”
“You weren’t a teenager yesterday!” She play swatted him, grinning to herself. “And if you’re not careful with your unfing, you’ll get a girl in a family way, like me!”
“I’d be very careful. if I did unf. And no I wasn’t. What I was, was a man with the mind and experience of a thirty year old stuck in the body of a ten year old. I haven’t been a kid in a long time, Navi, even if I do enjoy bouncing and playing.” he gently poked her.
“Oh, really? Then nevermind.” She wrapped her arms around him. “If you’re thirty, you’re older than me, you geezer.” Navi smiled and kissed him on the forehead. “And old enough to know to use condoms.”
“That right, young lady.” He winked at her, then Nate nodded, then laughed and hugged her tight. If gently. “I did mess up the first time in the future, so I can understand the chiding, but that was the first time and all, and I learned, and I would never do that without planning to someone. “ Nate nodded again, grinning at her.
“Soooo, got any pretty ladies in mind?” Navi eeped when she was hugged, but soon she was right back to searing the steaks in a large pan.
He started sauteing some vegetables right next to her, companionably sharing space, and he chuckled. “Not yet.” Though when he thought of pretty ladies, several faces rolled through his mind. Cora and Eli, especially. “I think I need to be stable before I try anything.”
“That’s fair. But still, you were thiiiiinking of people.” Navi smiled. “Fantasies are the best thing ever.” She had a lot of them, most of them regarding her husband.
Nate laughed and chuckled. “Sure. I think of a number of people when thinking about unfs.” Like Navi and Kitty and Alicia and others...
Navi wouldn’t have known she was included in that list, nor would she have guessed. But she knew that boys fantasized, and she hoped that he was happy. She hoped everyone in his life wasn’t awkward or weird about things. “How’s everyone else taking it?”
“Some good, some weird. So far, I’m working my way through a list. You were number 6.” He offered her a smile. Dad is taking it a little hard, mom better, Elaine and Cora better yet.” He nodded. “I think it will be okay for everyone.” Eventually.
“Well, I’m just glad you’re healthy and mostly happy. That’s what matters.” Navi snuggled him, kissing his cheek.
Nate hugged her back and kissed her hair, smiling. “You’re good people, Navi. Are you happy? How is the little grumpy one to be? And the currrent grumpy one as well?”
“Pete’s good! New work contacts and stuff. And the baby’s fine. Wanna feel her kick?” She lifted up her shirt to just under her bra, exposing her baby bump.
“Tell him I said hi!” Nate’s eyes got wide and he nodded. “I would, yes!” He gently reached out to softly stroke her belly, then plant his hand with a gentle touch, and feel.
“Oh, I will.” She bit her lip when he stroked her, trying to ignore the tickle of his fingers. “Right here,” she smiled, moving his hand a little, amused when the baby started to bump against her stomach.
“Good.” he nodded, and chuckled. “Hello there, little one.:” And he reached out with his mind, too, touching Navi’s mind as well as reaching for the child’s. Warmth, care, and comfort projected from him as he smiled. Hello. Welcome, friend.
Navi smiled, feeling the baby mellow out a little bit as he touched her stomach. She felt a little mellow as well, and she was reminded of flying over flowers in Hyrule.
He finally stood again and smiled softly at her. “Thank you, Navi, for that.” His warm smile was full of his joy for her. “You’re going to be an awesome mom.”
She hugged him. “I hope so. I’m going to try.” She squeezed his hand and turned around to flip the steaks.
He was sure she would be, and he moved to watch the veggies, turning them, and checking them, then removing some. He grinned. This was fun! “You will be. You’re an awesome person.”
“You’re a good friend too, Nate.” She kissed his temple, fussing over his hair before turning to mind the steaks again.
Nate blushed and sighed and worked on the veggies. Aged up or not, things were good. And life was good. he was a lucky man.
