With a soft laugh the man smirked playfully, his eyes twinkling as he saw the enjoyment in Tony's eyes and grin. "I do too. . . heh. . . this time through I'm not feeling sick from drinking too much through." Nathan said as he remembered the first time he had danced for him. It was after the man's birthday dinner, they had just arrived home and Nathan was a bit tipsy, nothing too serious and for Nathan it helped him relax. He had danced for Tony that night, the booze still in his system which made him fall right into Tony's lap, he promised he would do it again for the older man when he wanted, this was his other birthday gift.
"Less for me to clean up," Nathan added as he took a swig from the bottle before putting it on the coffee table. Kissing the man deeply the blonde melted in Tony's arms. How could he ever have hated this?
"Really?" the boy followed close behind, excited about what they would see. Once there, Nathan found himself amazed by the stars, his eyes staring up at them and for a moment he had forgotten about Tony. They're so pretty. . . I wish dad was here to see. . . I wish Mark and Jason were here too. . . the smile dropped from the boy's lips for a moment before Tony caught his attention. He returned to the man and sat close beside him, the dream-like smile on his face again as he stared the stars high above.
Although he was happy with Tony, Nathan would feel hatred for the man now and again without realizing it. There was still some part of Nathan that wanted to return home, that didn't want their relationship to go on and found it wrong with how he had been more-less forced into this life. Yet, the love for Tony was real. Before, being nice, it was just a way to cope and make it through the days. But now, it was real. He loved the man for everything he did for him, for taking care of him and being so gentle whenever it came to inmate matters. But, to be told the truth, Nathan could never truly forgive Tony for kidnapping him. "Tony," Nathan spoke softly "Thank you for taking me here. . . its so nice here."
