Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher
SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | ELENA ○ FISHER last years model ...✎ xxxxxxxx Since the beginning of this journey, Elena hadn't been quite sure what to expect. There were a lot of treasure hunters out there - people who claimed they could kind the lost legends, and expose their truth to the world. But would this Nathan Drake guy really be someone who could actually do that? The twenty-seven year old hadn't been all that convinced when she had first boarded onto Sullivan's boat, camera in hand. After all, her first impressions of the two men weren't exactly the most professional, but she couldn't hold that against them too tightly. Elena knew that her presence here was probably an entirely different experience for the two of them, and that acting natural might not come so.. natural with a camera pointed constantly at them. But such were the rules of engagement; she'd agreed to fund their expedition, so long as Nate and Sully agreed to let her get the full story on it. As rocky as things might've been in the beginning, they all needed each other for this. As the nights passed, however, Elena had started to feel her guard dissipate completely, and she couldn't keep herself from trying to earn the company of Nathan. Not for anything sexual - no. But for a conversation, a small laugh before bed. She wasn't much for relationships, ever since high school's discovery of indecent people, so it was an experience the reporter definitely hadn't been anticipating on a voyage like this. But when she felt Drake's arms pull her more securely into his chest at night, Elena was completely at peace. And the idea of possibly losing that was something she wasn't ready to face just yet. That possibility was there, of course, but she refused to acknowledge it until it was mentioned in conversation. Asking him to stay with her would be a little much, but if he offered.. she wouldn't be able to refuse. Several days had passed, and it took them some calculating to properly find the coordinates Nate suspected held the coffin, but Elena was there to patiently capture everything on tape; the views, the frustration, navigating through the waves to try and find their proper location. She'd only taken a break from pressing that record button when the boat had finally come to a stop, and was anchored down, following Nathan's lead with finding her wet suit. The adrenaline that was coursing through her body had her moving a little faster than normal, a bounce to her skip as the thrill of the find was nearly upon them. Having come into this expedition, unsure of what to think, it was more than obvious that the TV host was getting extremely excited. "Do you think it's really down there?" she asked casually, coming to lean on the doorway of his room, inspecting the lens on her camera. Slowly, hazel orbs lifted from the camera within her hands to Nathan's back, catching her first glimpse of his bare skin as he pulled his wet suit the rest of the way over his torso. Resisting the urge to clear her throat, Elena shifted awkwardly against the door frame, adverting her gaze as the woman's cheeks grew hot with a blush. "I mean, what if it isn't? Back to the drawing board, or.. ?" as she asked her question, Elena slowly glanced back towards him, shifting to give him room to leave his quarters, and follow him back out onto the deck. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |
SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | ELENA ○ FISHER last years model ...✎ xxxxxxxx “I am confident the coffin is here. I won’t plan for otherwise.” Elena was almost immediately reassured by his words; she'd never really been out in the thick of things before. This was her first chance being with a group - two person or otherwise - that had done something this brilliant for most of their life. Hunting for treasure had always been something that Elena was extremely interested in, but she'd never actually thought that she was going to get the chance to go on an expedition for anything ancient or lost. The adrenaline that was already starting to fill the twenty seven year old about the situation had her grinning from ear to ear; Nathan's closeness and reassurances only adding to that goofy look. A goofy look that was almost immediately put on pause when Nathan seemed to hesitate in front of her; his arm lifted from her own, allowing him to lean down to her height better. Immediately, the woman's breath caught in her chest, and her eyes froze in their spot, unable to focus on anything but the wall over Nathan's shoulder. The smell of his cologne wafted into her nostrils, intoxicating Elena's senses as he leaned forward, surprising her with the soft peck against her cheek. If she hadn't been red in the face beforehand, Elena was definitely feeling the heat and the blood rush to her cheeks upon feeling the pressure of the kiss. As soon as Nate had shifted to motion that he was going to continue down the hallway and out onto the deck of the boat, Elena's eyes squeezed shut, and a deep breath erupted from the back of her throat, suddenly aware that she'd been holding her breath. Taking a moment for herself, making sure that her cheeks had been given enough time to slightly fade out to their natural pale colour, and to fix her pony tail, Elena slowly made her way down the hallway of the boat, heart still thumping a million miles per second. A breath of reassurance ebbed from the back of her throat as she exited the threshold of the ship, readying her camera to check the battery level. "C'mon, Fisher.. get your head in the game." Inhaling the salty air, the woman gave herself a soft nod of reassurance, lifting the camera up to her face in order to see through the eye hole. Pressing the record, Elena raised her free hand up over her head to give Nathan a thumbs up, signifying that she was ready whenever he was. Approaching the side of the boat as he pushed off into the water, Elena made sure to get a good shot of him descending into the depths of the water, it only taking a matter of seconds before Nate's form was indistinguishable from the surface. As soon as she knew she couldn't see him through the lens, Elena spanned around, taking the opportunity to get some long distance shots, or filler clips. But she'd have to pay attention to the camera that was attached to Drake's mask; a small camera that'd give her just enough sight to see what Nate did down there. It was, cleverly, also a marker for when Elena needed to have her camera ready for when he was surfacing; missing that shot would be too much of an amateur mistake. So, after she'd felt comfortable with the footage she'd been able to capture along the sides of the boat, Elena made her way into the Bridge to see how Sully was making out, and to keep an eye on the camera feed to Nathan. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |
SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | ELENA ○ FISHER last years model ...✎ xxxxxxxx The underwater camera was absolutely marvelous. Elena had never been able to see anything like that up close - not unless it was on a television screen, hosted by National Geographic. The reporter had never had the chance to see something so amazing in person, to be involved with the expedition of something. It was an accelerating adrenaline rush that left her heart pounding, an uncontrollable feeling that grew the deeper Nathan's strokes took him. If they could find this coffin.. If there was actually a body inside of it.. It would mean a great deal of many things; that Francis Drake had existed, for one. And that his treasure could be real, too. No one had ever come this close to finding his remains.. nothing but a few Spanish coins. But here she was, watching Nate dive to try and find a lost piece of history. The twenty seven year old was so enthralled with the idea of Nathan finding something, that she didn't even mind Sully's slight huffs and disapproving grunts when she'd make a comment about the atmosphere on the television, or ask a question about him and Nate. By now, she was more than used to the way Sullivan was treating her - she was the girl next door, barging in and stealing the son away from the dad. It was obvious for Elena to see the worry in Sully's face when he looked at the two of them together, and there wasn't a bone in her body that could come up with a way to try and convince him she wasn't horrible. That this - whatever this was between her and Nate - wasn't a bad thing, and she wasn't taking advantage of him. When Drake discovered something, Elena was instantly ecstatic. The blond did her best to contain it, wanting to keep a professional outlook for the viewers out there, but it was exceptionally hard when she came back out onto the deck, camera in hand, pointed towards the crane Nathan was now operating. His smile definitely didn't go unchecked, and she gave him a small wave behind the camera, returning it even though she kept her camera focused, not wanting to miss a second. As the crane hoisted the coffin and shifted the structure to rest on the deck's surface, Elena was quick to come to Nate's side, getting a good look of the outside markings and natural changes over time. As she rounded to the opposite side of the coffin, she nodded her head, allowing him to silently know she was ready for him to pry it open. Automatically, as Elena rounded to reveal what was inside the coffin to the camera, she let out a sightly disappointed, but confused, gasp. "He's.. not here." Film still rolling, Elena watched above the camera as Nate leaned down and grabbed the only parchment within the coffin. A waterlogged journal. The moment Nate announced who the journal belonged to, her jaw slightly went slack, and a confused glance was passed between the journal and the empty coffin. "So wait. You're.. you're saying that he faked his death? He actually managed to do that to hide a treasure?" There wasn't any disbelief in her voice, although her surprise was extremely apparent. About to ask another question, reaching to slide her fingers over the material of the page to try and decipher what it was made out of, Nate's words took her completely by surprise. “Oh shit… Elena… we have company.” Shifting her body to face the direction he was face, Elena's hands gripped harder against her camera, now resting against her stomach. The moment she heard the gun slide along a crate towards her, Elena almost fumbled and dropped her camera to catch it, mind still in a dismay as she tried to wrap it around the oncoming situation. "Okay.. Pirates.. We just found a dead guy's empty coffin. This should be a piece of cake." Giving herself an encouraging nod, the young woman set the camera in a spot where she was hoping would be out of gunshot, but kept the film rolling, just in case. Taking cover behind one of the crates in the middle of the boat, Elena gave Nate a quick glance before checking the magazine within her gun. Clicking the safety off, she inhaled another deep breath, almost flinching as soon as she heard a stray bullet being fired off from the opposite boat. "Don't suppose they'd just go away if we asked nicely, huh?" the woman whispered in a hopeful tone over to Drake, keeping her head low, gun poised at the ready. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |
SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | ELENA ○ FISHER last years model ...✎ xxxxxxxx Being a reporter meant a lot of things; you had to be what the situation needed you to be. At all times. Elena's surroundings were always constantly changing, whether she was back at the studio, out on the field, or at home. She had to be a flexible woman, and squeeze herself into all sorts of different situations, and appear like she had the experience to deal with them properly. Being in a situation like this, however, was entirely new to the woman. Never, in her life, had she manned a gun before - the closest thing that she had ever aimed at anyone had been a camera lens. But, luckily, even something as harmless as a camera gave her quite the experience in holding something steadily. Although the twenty seven year old had never once, in her life, fired a gun before, she'd shot multiple different cameras, and had a lot of experience with a steady hand because of it. Surely, a steady hand wasn't the only thing required in order to fire a gun, but it would definitely help in the situation. Something Elena demonstrated very well from her round-about cover, only peeking up every so often when she knew she'd be able to either take a shot, or at least access the situation they were in, without anyone noticing her too heavily. It helped that Nathan was the main source of their assault; most likely because Drake was very much capable, as he displayed, when it came to hand-to-hand combat. That man's right hook was enthralling to watch.. Even so, distractions aside, Elena made sure to watch his back, firing off a pot shot whenever she could line one up with an individual that was choosing to try and do damage from afar; giving Nathan a chance to clear up some of the attackers with his hands, while Elena took care of the ranged opponents. Even so.. The exploding barrels definitely weren't a common occurrence for Elena. Neither was the large gunboat that had decided to join the party. "Uh.. Nate.. !?" Elena questioned as the ship rounded their vessel, causing the duo to have to shift around to gain different angles of cover. Gritting her teeth through the rumbles of debris flying every which way, and the shake of the rocket launcher connecting with the ship, Elena kept herself close to Nate, allowing them to guide them to their next destination the moment the gunboat would round about again. His voiced question about where the hell Sully was met with a nod of agreeance, completely beside herself with trying to figure out what their options even were. Bailing over the side of the ship would be just as hopeless as remaining on it without Sully's help.. The sound of the plane's propellers hit Elena's eats like an angel's voice; her body was ready to get moving the moment the fire was pointed out. Shifting onto her feet better, Elena took off to grab the camera, not willing to risk losing all of that footage, and was quick to escape the burning vessel with Nate. The crash landing into the rough sea below hadn't been anticipated, and the shock of the cold water almost completely expelled the air within Elena's lungs, but Nathan didn't give her body a long enough chance to take any of it in; he was pulling her onto the plane, easing her into its safety before her mind could completely register what was going on. Collapsing beside Nate, a few rough coughs ebbed from the back of the journalist's mouth, spitting up a small mouthful of salt water. Rubbing her mouth with the back of her hand, Elena's body eased back against the seat she had fallen into, eyelids opening to look at Nathan as he asked if she was alright. The woman couldn't even get her mouth open before he was already searching her over, trying to locate if anything had been hurt, or broken, in the disarray. Weakly, she shook her head 'no', shifting the camera to set it beside her on the next seat over. "No, no.. Fine. I think I'm fine." There was a bit of a graze along her right upper arm, where a bullet skimmed along her skin, but it was nothing more than a bit of a scratch; a luckily mistimed bullet. "What.. what about you?" Almost instantly, the fatigue Elena had been expressing in her body language seemed to disappear the moment she turned the tables back on him, lifting a hand to smooth it over his cheek. Falling silent as Sully asked Nathan a question, her face slightly twisted after the old man's later response about their pay day. It made her grip around Nate slightly increase, hugging him a bit more secure than she had been moments before. "Yeah, and I bet Nate feels fine, Sullivan. Thanks for asking." the blond grumbled from their position behind the cockpit, unsure if Sullivan would've been able to hear her snarky remark or not - and, to be honest, wasn't too concerned if he did. "Speaking of pay day.." the blue-eyed woman started, glancing towards the camera she'd barely made it out of there with. "My.. producers really aren't going to like hearing that we blew up the boat. Don't suppose you boys got a savings account, or anything, right?" | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |
SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | ELENA ○ FISHER last years model ...✎ xxxxxxxx “Oh yeah… the boat. I’m sorry about that. I hope with this treasure we eventually find will be enough to buy you an even bigger boat.” Elena smirked at Nate's response, unable to help but soak up the adorable pout his lips had formed. "I'm not really concerned with the whole boat explosion thing," the reporter replied with a small wink. "My producers, on the other hand.." her light-hearted tone trailed off, slightly hinting at the actual seriousness of her words. Boats were never really Elena's thing - cars, on the other hand, was something she had dived more into. But that didn't change the fact that her producers were the ones responsible for paying for the boat rental, considering it was the only way they'd get the chance to shoot the television show. No funding, no show - there wasn't much of a choice on their end. The little kiss Nate had placed on the corner of her lips instantly had her mind very far off from thinking about the boat complications, however, and a soft pulse of heat flushed within her cheeks as the blond raised her hand to idly touch where he'd placed the kiss. If the tingles along the corner of her lips wasn't enough, the butterflies that kept looping within her stomach was enough to make her head almost spin. She hadn't felt like this in years - since she was a child, to be honest, with her first crush. Naturally, it didn't go anywhere, because of their age, and the innocence of it all. But the same weightless feeling pulsed around her whenever her and Nathan's eyes connected, and it was starting to slightly make her head spin (of course, not in a bad way.. just a way that Elena wasn't accustomed to). Sitting still, or as still as she possibly could, Elena couldn't keep the grin off her face as Nate fussed and treated the cut along her bicep. The twenty seven year old had never been tended to like this in her life, not even as a child. Cuts and scraps were usually ignored, rinsed off whenever she bathed next, and healed on their own. So, to be cared for like this from someone she was getting to know.. it was too great of a feeling to be able to mask. The added touch of a kiss over the clean bandage was the icing on the cake for the young woman; only adding to the small blush that'd been starting from the gentle kiss he'd given her. Luckily, after he was satisfied that her arm was well-cleaned and secured, it didn't take long for Nathan's attention to alter to the diary he'd found; something that Elena was more than glad to focus on in order to drain the blush from her face. The reporter watched as Nate fingered through the pages, reading the details and muttering to himself about the lore behind Francis. His passion for this was more than awe-inspiring, and she couldn't keep the smile off her face. She scooted a little closer, in order to see the pages in which he was pointing and referring to as he went over them, content with listening and learning. It wasn't until Nate came to his sudden conclusion about where their next location was that she let out a small surprised breath, eyebrows rising to emphasize how impressed she was. "I.. really regret not having the camera rolling for that," she mused afterwards, glancing up from the diary to Nate. "That was incredible." At the mention of checking in, Elena nodded in agreeance, shifting to collect the camera as Nate retrieved their bags. Offering him a smile as thanks, she followed him out, stepping onto the pier's dock a bit eagerly. It was good to feel something solid under her feet again that wasn't nestled in the water's waves. Stretching her arms out above her head after retrieving her phone from her things, Elena took a moment to get the feeling back in her limbs before taking a few steps from the duo, letting them discuss anything they had to about their next travel arrangements, while she made her phone call. The beginning of it was good - her producers enjoyed hearing from her, nine times out of ten, considering it was nothing but good news up to this point. Key words being up to this point. ".. it kind of, well.. exploded?" the blond tried to explain in the softest of tones possible, lifting her free hand to scratch at the back of her neck. The response she got from the other end of the line had her slightly visibly cringing, but Elena was quick to try and turn the situation around. "I don't want to hear about our budget numbers - do you even realize what kind of history we could be uncovering here? Well, these kinds of things are covered under insurance, right?" The hope within her voice was more than noticeable, and it was instantly visible when that hope was crushed the a million pieces. ".. we, we don't have insurance.. ? That could be a problem.." Biting the inside of her lip through the rest of the conversation, Elena made nothing but agreeing grunts and sounds into the receiver, sensing the intensity of the situation she was now in. Muttering her goodbyes and apologies for the last time, Elena hung up the contraption, instantly releasing an over-accumulated sigh. Nothing but her camera now, Elena took a deep breath and walked over to a storage barrel on the dock, perching herself on top of it. Crossing her legs, the blond started to go through the footage she'd already been able to capture, her teeth working her lower lip nervously. It was more than obvious that her producers were close to cutting her off completely - without their okay, this whole expedition would become bankrupt. But they weren't happy with their results, and the idea of having to possibly pitch in more than what their budget had called for. It was obvious they just wanted this for the story, the big pay off that was going to be in their pockets after all the editing was finished. Elena just wasn't sure if she'd be able to go along with their ploys for long, if that was their agenda. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |
SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | ELENA ○ FISHER last years model ...✎ xxxxxxxx Between the focus on the camera screen within her lap, and the sound of the waves crashing into the shower, Elena was rather clueless to Nate leaving the plane, and furthermore, didn't hear his footsteps approaching her on the pier. Although her eyes seemed occupied with going over what she'd been able to capture, her mind was miles away; entrapped with the idea that she had possibly started leading Nate on when it came to what her producers were expecting from him. She didn't know the full story behind it, and by the sounds of things, they were getting pretty close to just cutting the three of them off altogether; stranding Elena with no way home, let alone to survive in her current location. So, when Nate suddenly appeared and wrapped his strong embrace around her, Elena let out a bit of a surprised gasp, and dropped her camera into the security net of her crossed legs. "Jesus Nat-" had been the beginning of Elena's exclamation of shock, her smile still clear through her surprise, until Nathan had cut her off with his lips. Immediately, it was as though the twenty four year old melted into his arms, coming to bring her now free hands to wrap around him in return, right palm sliding up into the back of his hairline, playing with the strands idly between her fingers. She'd been expecting, and more than happy, with a gentle, soft kiss. But the moment she felt the increase of passion, Elena's breath nearly caught completely in her throat. Sliding her lips open just the slightest, allowing Nate entrance into her mouth, it was almost like someone had flicked a switch for the reporter. Instantly, upon feeling and tasting Nathan's tongue, she worked against the kiss, intent on returning just as much as she received. The grip within his hair tightened a bit, pulling him closer to her, unable to get enough of the man's embrace and taste before her. It wasn't until he broke the kiss that Elena's eyelids slowly started to open, and her heavy breathing became very apparent; her shoulders and chest both shaking with the deep inhales she had to take just to calm her lungs. If that wasn't enough to make it obvious, the blush and bewildered face on Elena's features should've been more than enough insight that her entire body felt like it was on fire, and it was all thanks to the simplest of touches from him. Nate's next batch of words had Elena's lips piercing into a wide grin, and she playfully cocked her gaze at him, pursing her lips in fake thought. "Hmm.. I don't know," the blond started teasingly. "I've been putting some thought into spending time with you, Nathan Drake. And, after that last explosion.." the woman trailed off for a moment, sliding her hand from the back of his hairline to cup against his cheek softly. "I think I've deemed you just too darn dangerous." A joking smile pulled over her lips, and she leaned forward, rubbing the tip of her nose against his own. Dropping her hand to casually drape her arms over his shoulders in a small embrace, she slowly nodded her head to really answer his proposition, unable to keep the grin from her face. "I'd love that, but.. I have a feeling you already know that." The reporter's hazel eyes narrowed in his direction, showing that she was fully aware her words were most likely true. Releasing her hold from around his shoulders, Elena picked up her camera after shutting it down, and secured it within the grip of her left hand. Untangling her legs from their crossed position, she let them rest on either side of Nate's waist for a moment, stretching up to plant a soft kiss to the tip of his nose, before she wiggled off the surface of the barrel back onto solid ground. "Plus," she started, taking his hand playfully and giving it a soft tug to initiate their walk forward. "I gotta get outta this thing. And finding some food wouldn't be so bad, either." Naturally, Elena was referring to the wet suit she still had on, since she hadn't had the chance to get to her bag long enough to do so, yet. Over dinner, she imagined they could finally relax for a moment - get over the small hiccup about pirates wanting to blow them up - and figure out their next heading a bit better. With some better planning.. and hopefully not another boat. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |
SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | NATHAN ○ DRAKE xxxxxxxx While Elena was only teasing, her words underlined Nathan’s biggest fear. Now, the average woman would probably be done with Nate after twenty-four hours because of all this adventurous and dangerous stunts he pulled. She was correct: being around Nathan Drake was a dangerous thing to do. However, Nathan appreciated that Elena did not mind the risk. She must have enjoyed the trip so far because she still seemed so excited about the next step even if her producers were growing angry. Elena Fisher was one in a million, Nathan would never forget that. The gentle touch of her small hand cupping his cheek or wrapping loosely around his shoulder sent a cold shiver up his spine yet it ignited flames all across his body at the same time. A matching grin spread across his handsome features when Elena nuzzled their noses together and his brown eyes slowly closed to focus on how wonderful it felt to have the blonde reporter so close to him. This time spent together truly started something beautiful and Nathan hoped it was going to last. For him, finding Francis Drake’s treasure was not the ultimate prize anymore. The ultimate prize was already won, it seemed. Once the teasing finished and the real answered began, Nathan just chuckled quietly because he already knew the answer to his own question. All he wanted to do was hear Elena confirm his thoughts. Allowing their hands to tangle, Nathan followed wherever she wanted to go. “I think we can arrange for this to happen.” The dark-haired male grinned, following her back inside of the boat docked onto the pier. Sully normally slept in his seaplane or on the pier while they did have his own boat docked just in case anything went wrong. This usually was the location of Nathan’s and Elena’s resting place. Plus, it provided them some privacy from the older male. Tonight, Nathan felt more comfortable around Elena than ever before. Upon entering their little shared bedroom area where they formed a mattress with cushions and blankets, Nathan stripped off his wetsuit right in front of Elena. Soon enough, he stood only with his soaked boxers but they were quickly removed, too. While standing completely naked, he decided to be bold and not hide himself or even make a comment about what he did, acting as if it was completely natural and casual to do. The suite and boxers were tossed into a far corner where he could remember to dry them sometime soon before turning to a duffle bag where his clothes were kept. During this time, Nathan ensured that he spent an equal amount of time between facing Elena and facing away from Elena so the young woman could take in and learn about every inch of his body. Unsure if she was okay with it happening, he would cover himself if she asked but if she did not say anything negative or if she reacted positively, he remained naked until finding a clean pair of boxers to slide over his hips. Once this was finished, the explorer made a decision that he wore enough clothes for now. Elena spoke about being hungry so he began rummaging around their food supply before finding some canned food and protein bars to eat. This was usually the diet whenever Nathan was on the run from something or towards something. When they reach the amazon, they might could find something different than canned food in a village or a big city along the way as they did here off the Pacific while searching for the coffin. For tonight, they were just dining simple. After gathering food for both, he plopped down onto the makeshift bed and brought out a couple water bottles for them each. From that point on, he dug into his own can of food and started eating while watching Elena. He hoped his actions would allow Elena to let down her guard further than before. Even if nothing resulted from it, he simply wanted to see her body and feel her skin against his. If it turned into anything more than being innocent and comfortable, he would not complain yet he would not push the issue, either. To him, Nathan already knew how deeply he cared for Elena and he saw no reason why he could not show off his body around her. Besides, as far as he was concerned, she could have access to his body whenever she wanted but no other woman would ever get to see him like this again. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |
SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | ELENA ○ FISHER last years model ...✎ xxxxxxxx “I think we can arrange for this to happen.” At the compliance received from the darker haired man, Elena's lips pulled into a wide smile as she lead him down the dock a few feet to the branched off line that Sully had settled the seaplane at. Dipping into the entrance of the wave-flowing vessel, the blond lead her taller companion to the room she had had very little time to share with Nathan. Usually, Sully's nights were kept off the plane, and within whatever society they had taken refuge in while exploring or traveling. Elena imagined Sully was more than happy with that arrangement, giving him plenty of space from the two being together, but for nights like these.. The twenty four year old wasn't sure what kind of response they might get. Hopefully he wouldn't be too concerned - she was already aware of how much Nathan meant to the older male. Stepping on his toes wasn't exactly scribbled down in her agenda. Elena had turned after they'd entered the room to shut the door, and as she shifted back on her heels to face Nathan again, and almost let out an audible gasp at the sight of him stripping his wetsuit without hesitation. Swallowing thickly, the blond froze for a moment, trying to find the will to retrieve her gaze from the sight before her, but the more skin he revealed, the more her breath caught within the base of her throat. When Nate's fingers laced within his boxer's waistband, Elena hadn't even realized her staring had started to fester into a more.. provocative leer. Her teeth had caught the left corner of her bottom lip, and the more Nathan pried his boxers from his body, the harder her grip nestled into the bite. It wasn't until he'd tossed the soaked material and the sound echoed throughout the small room that Elena finally snapped to, nearly stuttering an apology before she realized if she did that, then the reporter would also have to admit to her staring. Instead, with another thick swallow and obviously flushed face, the blond shifted to make her way over to her bag, slipping out of her shoes as she went. The entire time she was routing through her luggage, all Elena could envision was Nathan's form within her minds eye. She'd never seen someone so confident with stripping themselves naked before - especially after being so enthralling, without having a sexual relationship. Just seeing him made her thighs quiver with anticipation of what could be, and it was definitely a distraction the twenty four year old wasn't accustomed to. Mostly considering she'd never made it past third base with anyone before. But being just near Nathan - let alone seeing him as she just had - gave her more of an intensity than she'd ever experienced in any of those past experiences (which didn't chalk up to that high of a count). Luckily, the first two things Elena found within her bag that were considered clothes were suitable enough for sleeping, so the reporter didn't have to fight her distracted mind too much in order to find something to wear. Straightening, her pair of boycut shorts and baggy tee shirt within reach, Elena unzipped the wetsuit. As she parted the sides, and started to slip her left arm from its confinement, her blue orbs happened to glance over her shoulder towards the treasure hunter, and remained lingering on him for the duration of withdrawing from her wetsuit. By the time she'd tossed the garment in with his own, Nathan had just finished sorting out what they could eat from their perishables, leaving his attention available for her to grab; something that she purposely pretended not to notice, feeling like she could act more confident if she 'didn't know' his eyes were on her. Leaning down, just enough to grab the shirt she'd grabbed out, Elena wasn't quick to pull it over her body, untangling it from its half-assed fold job to find the head hole. Slipping that over her head, the blond slowly started to work her arms in, shifting on her feet so that Nathan could catch a glimpse of the underside of her breasts before the material dropped to just below her bottom - something that, after getting a small surge of excitement from knowing Nate had been able to see her change, promoted her not to slide on the shorts she'd intended to wear with it. The faint flush that still lingered over Elena's cheeks grew a bit as she came to take a seat beside the brown haired man. Wordlessly, she leaned down to grab one of the protein bars he'd retrieved, and as her fingers worked away at opening one of the ends, Elena stretched her legs over Nathan's lap, giving him a soft smile as her skin glided along his. Taking a small bite from the corner of her bar, Elena chewed and swallowed the content within her mouth before pressing a sudden kiss to Nathan's jawline. "Thank you," she mused afterwards, gesturing with the bar in her hand as to what she was thanking him for. Although, as Elena straightened back into her normal position from the kiss she'd planted, her eyes couldn't leave Nathan's lips, and the protein bar in her hand wasn't cutting it for the kind of appetite Nate had sparked. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |

It might not have been that obvious but he watched the blonde reporter closely. Why? He simply wanted to note her reaction to his body or if she even looked at him for that matter. Upon further investigation, not only did he realize that she looked at his body but she practically could not take her eyes off him. At first, he was worried if she would get pissed off at him for doing something like this but she seemed to enjoy the sight before her. That was a great thing in the young adventurer’s opinion. It meant that the future and the possibility of what they have continuing to grow was strong. He turned away from her at the last second and smiled to himself. Nathan was confident and seemingly arrogant so he knew that his body was a nice thing to behold. He hoped Elena would enjoy having all of him to herself but that was one major reason why he kept in shape other than these adventures. He wanted to have a desirable body so he could have desirable women but now it meant more than that. He wanted Elena to have the man of her dreams, to have a man so good looking that combined with his looks and personality, nobody else would even exist. While Elena changed, Nathan absolutely watched her body. Every inch looked perfect from her head down to her toes. The smile remained on his face as he watched her, particularly enjoying the sight of her breasts and the sight of her ass. This was where the two of them differed in a slight manner. On one hand, Elena was trying to be secretive about looking at Nathan and worried about her finding out he saw. For Nathan, he did not hide it nor did he try and hide it. He just stood there and watched, thinking about how perfect her body would fit against his own and feel against his own. He thought about being inside of Elena, being able to touch and kiss every inch of her body, to make her feel so much pleasure that she forgot her name. Nathan wanted all of these things and a fire started to burn within his core. He tried to push that to the side though because while he was being bold by undressing in front of her, he did not intend to scare her off or do anything that made her uncomfortable. While he wanted to take her tonight and make her his own, Nathan did not want to rush into anything. While they were eating their little dinner, he noticed how Elena stared at him and could not stop looking at him after the kiss. His fears from earlier were all but squashed. He looked deep into the woman’s brown eyes and leaned down to start another kiss between the couple. He smiled broadly while wrapping his arms tightly around the reporter and pulled her ever tightly against him. The look in her eyes showed one that wanted to put down the protein bars and maybe have something else in her mouth. Regardless of what might happen, Nathan knew that this was right where he wanted to be. Everything he had ever wanted or hoped for in this moment was becoming true right now. The amount of emotion he felt running through his body was exhilarating but also scary. He was not only attracted to her looks. Everyone knew Elena Fisher was drop dead gorgeous but this was more than wanting to have a sexual encounter for one night. This was something he wanted for a long, long time. He wanted to spend time with her all wrapped up tight in his arms and never letting go. He wanted to keep her there forever. Their lips attached again but Nathan did not wait before making it more passionate than ever before. Immediately, he slipped his tongue inside of her mouth and started to rub the insides of her mouth, pinning down her tongue and moaning rather loudly. Her tongue was still underneath his own while both hands cupped her cheeks so he could hold her face still while tilting his head slightly to the right and opposite from her face so the kiss could become deepened even further. The smile just grew on his face and he was getting lost in the moment. Without even realizing it, their crotches were rubbing together and touching, allowing Nathan to have a boner to form. With only the thin material of his cotton boxers separating the erection from outside his body, it should be obvious for Elena to feel it against her leg, showing just what she was doing to him right now whether they took it any further or not. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO SPACER YO |
