Turning Tides (Zombie and Sathenus) [18+]

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance was a bit baffled at how eager his boyfriend seemed to be to leave the house. Still, as long as they were together, he didn't mind that. If Nathan was this eager to leave him entirely, he would most likely feel incredibly insecure which would only turn into anger. Lance grabbed his keys, wallet and phone before gladly following after his boyfriend to the front door. Before they left the house, Lance pulled Nathan close again, pressing a quick kiss to his lips one more time. "You look lovely, by the way." He smiled, gently tucking some of his hair behind his ear.

 

Lance let go of his boyfriend's hand momentarily to unlock the door, letting Nathan go out first before stepping out himself. The man locked the door again, shoving the bundle of keys into the front pocket of his jeans. Turning back around, he looked over Nathan one more time, smiling fondly at his lover. "So... Shopping first, right?" He smiled, taking his hand again, leading him to the garage, and into his car. Lance actually felt rather excited about this. He always liked going out in public with his lovers, of course... Almost as much as he liked buying them stuff. He wanted to shower Nathan with attention and all kinds of pricey things.

 

Lance got into the driver seat, buckling up before slowly driving out of the garage. "Do you prefer darker or lighter suits?" He asked casually as he closed the garage door with a remote controller and began driving to his favorite suit shop. Seeing Nathan in a suit last night was great, he had to be honest. He loved a man in a suit. Even more, he loved fucking a man in a suit. If he didn't have their clothes stolen, he probably would have fucked Nathan against the wall or something, while still half-clothed. It was so arousing to do so...

[Sathenus]

"Thanks." Nathan mumbled as he kept his gaze a little averted. Right now he really just wanted them to get out of the apartment and into town even if he didn't really want to go shopping. He waited for Lance a little impatiently when he was let out the door first, waiting for him to lock up. Once he had and was ready he followed him to the garage and the car. Not truly minding that right now they were holding hands. Slipping into the car he buckled himself up eyes going to the window when he noticed all of the marks on his neck. Groaning almost silently as he reached up and ran a finger over one of the larger ones. They were going to be almost impossible for him to cover up, he just knew it.

 

Deciding for right now not to really worry about it, since obviously he couldn't do anything now to hide them his eyes went to Lance. "Yes." he replied to the question, they were going to go shopping first and then the movie. The movie was the part he was truly looking forward to, it was an excuse for his attention to be on anything but his boyfriend. That might seem a little harsh, but after the events of the day he honestly didn't know what to make of him anymore. As Lance drove his mind wandered not truly caring about anything at this point. When he was spoken to once more it took him a moment to answer. "Doesn't matter. Whatever you think will look best." Came his reply as he spared the older man a glance.

 

Nathan rarely bought any new things for himself much less a suit. So he honestly didn't have a preference, he didn't care what color it was or whether it was light or dark. Did it really matter? Not in his opinion but he knew that to Lance it might. Resting his head on his hand he just stared out the window as the other drove. He knew Lance knew where he was going and so he didn't pay much attention to where they went. His eyes not really taking in the streets or buildings that they passed. For awhile he was silent, not trying to keep or even really have any type of conversation. After a moment he did turn his gaze to Lance and spoke, "That's the only thing you're buying right? Just a suit?"

 

For some reason he had a feeling that he should make sure that was the plan and that after they would go see the movie. After what Lance had said earlier about buying him clothes to keep there if he didn't want to move any of his in he felt it was necessary. Though he was a little worried his voice might have given any of his uncertainty about them away. If it did, then he was just kind of hoping that it wasn't enough for him to take notice. It wasn't like him to have this sort of confusion about anyone much less his boyfriend.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance was beginning to feel doubtful again. Nathan wasn't speaking to him a lot, and the replies he did get were short and cold. His fingers squeezed tightly around the steering wheel while his mind ran over ideas of how to make this better. Should he really back off a little?.. But what if he backed away too much and Nathan ran away? No, that would never happen. If Nathan tried to run from him, Lance would just catch him and never let him go then. So maybe he could try letting Nathan have a little bit more space... If this was a wrong choice, he'd know it soon and could change appropriately. He hoped so, at least.

 

"The full suit, meaning everything from head to toe." Lance replied to the question, keeping his eyes on the road, as if he was scared of actually looking at his boyfriend. His thoughts were really getting to him now. "...Nathan... Do you really love me?" He asked quietly, his voice full of uncertainty. The man seemed to be tense, his fingers still clenched tightly around the wheel, enough for his knuckles to turn white. He went too fast again. He couldn't let Nathan escape from him too. So many people left him already, he wouldn't be able to take another one. He didn't care what he had to do to keep his boyfriend with him forever. He'd do whatever it took. His love for Nathan would never go away now.

 

Lance slowed down to a stop at a red light, finally turning to look at the other with a sad gaze. He didn't find words to express what he was feeling anymore. Breathing out slowly, Lance began driving again, the uncomfortable silence beginning to suffocate him. He really needed for this relationship to work out, more than he needed anything else in the world. He hoped Nathan could understand that.

[Sathenus]

"And that's all, right?" Nathan pressed, trying to entice the exact answer he wanted. He didn't mind if Lance insisted on a full suit, he just wanted to ensure that was all they were shopping for. What he didn't expect was what was said next eyes moving to his boyfriend. "Yes, of course I do." That seemed like a stupid question. Did Lance really think he would have stayed near him after what had happened today if he didn't? He wasn't the type to use people, his love for Lance was the only thing keeping him around right now. Otherwise, he would have run for the hills after the rape. Not to mention being shoved against a wall and practically being pinned there not long after.

 

If sticking around after that didn't show that he loved his boyfriend, he didn't know what would. "That's a silly question." He mumbled after turning his gaze back to the window. If he was being honest he wasn't really sure what to make of the question. Why would Lance ask such a silly thing? Did he really seem that off that his boyfriend was questioning if he really loved him? Now that he was thinking about it he supposed he was being unusually quiet. He had just thought it would be justified after everything that had happened today. Sighing he glanced back towards Lance, "I do love you." It seemed odd trying to prove that to the other man. After what had happened today he felt like Lance should be making the bigger effort to make things normal.

 

Then again he honestly didn't care who made it seem normal as long as Lance was his normal self. By that Nathan wanted the man who was smiling and always had something flattering to say. Not the boyfriend who was easy to anger, accusing or aggressive. That was not the person he loved, and that was not the person he wanted to be around.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Nathan's answer wasn't too convincing. Lance tried to convince himself, of course he did, but he felt like he fucked up. Nathan would run away from him at the first opportunity. The man breathed in deeply, biting down on his lip harshly, as if he was fighting back tears. He couldn't lose Nathan. No way in hell would that happen. "I'm sorry, baby..." He muttered out sorrowfully, swallowing down a lump in his throat before pulling into the parking lot of a shopping mall. The man closed his eyes, leaning back against his seat for a couple of moments. "You understand how bad I want this to work out... Right? I can't imagine losing you..." He murmured, opening his eyes to look over at his boyfriend.

 

Lance unbuckled his safety belt, leaning in closer to the other. "Can I kiss you?" He asked quietly, as if unsure if even that much as allowed in this situation. He clearly pushed his luck too much with his actions at home. He had to be extra safe to be able to do stunts like this again. He had to keep Nathan safe and close to himself. Nathan had to become his, no matter what. And if he had to take a little bit longer for that to happen, so be it. He'd wait. He'd stalk his prey for as long as it was necessary. One day he would be able to jump him again, and then Nathan wouldn't be let go. Not until he was broken. Turned into an obedient pet... Of course Lance wanted that to happen as soon as possible, but he had to be patient. Waiting for it was better than letting this chance slip past entirely. He just had to hope that Nathan wouldn't end up encountering one of his exes by some chance. That could prove to be dangerous for their relationship... He didn't want that.

[Sathenus]

Nathan had gone back to staring absently out of the window as Lance drove. His thoughts were going over again and again what had happened this morning. Startled when he heard his boyfriend speak he was snapped out of his thoughts. Glancing towards Lance he was surprised by the apology and for a moment he just watched him almost as if he expected him to suddenly get mad and start yelling again. What he hadn't been prepared for was the confession that came from him as he leaned back in his seat and his eyes had closed. Feeling instantly guilty Nathan looked down at his own lap. His chest ached slightly now as he frowned. From the start he had known that this relationship had been important to Lance, it had even been important to him. But right now... right now he understood that it meant even more to the other man than he originally thought.

 

Glancing up at the other man when he was asked if it was okay to kiss him a small frown crossed his face. Nathan closed the gap without thinking pressing his lips to Lance's. Eyes drifting shut as he leaned into it, hoping that his actions would speak louder than any words could. The last thing he wanted was for Lance to start doubting them, he had done that enough for both. Right now he wanted to pretend that what happened earlier never had happened and start over. Breaking the kiss he kept his lips close to Lance's, eyes locked on the man before him. "Let's just start over. Forget this morning and start with a clean slate." He murmured on the other's lips. "I-I want this to work." Nathan added the last words as he gave Lance another quick kiss.

 

He desperately wanted their relationship to work out. Nathan wanted to believe that the man who had raped him this morning and had accused him of cheating was not the man sitting in front of him. Part of him wanted to say that Lance had just been stressed about something, and that from now on things would be okay. Even if he couldn't ensure that he so desperately wanted to believe it. The last thing he wanted to believe was that his boyfriend had actually done those things to him. Believing it would only make him fear it happening again. Even if he knew ignoring what had happened was not a good thing either that was the route he wanted to go. He just hoped that Lance would agree.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance felt a shudder run down his spine when his lips were met by his boyfriend's. Thank God, it all worked. He leaned into the kiss a bit more, bringing one hand to Nathan's cheek to hold it slightly until the kiss ended. His eyes opened slowly, only to find that his boyfriend was staring right at him. A small smile stretched out across his face at the uttered words as he nodded quickly, leaning into the kiss happily. He'd definitely hurried too much, so he was glad that Nathan was still trusting him enough to give him another shot. He wouldn't throw it away.

 

"I want this to work too, baby. I love you." He muttered out softly, lightly caressing his cheek before pulling back. "Okay, well... Let's go shopping." Lance smiled, although he still seemed nervous and a bit hesitant, or at least uncertain. The man got out of the car, locking it once his boyfriend was out as well before walking up to him. He offered his hand for the other, letting Nathan choose whether to take it or not before the two of them headed into the mall. He couldn't let Nathan run away now. Never, actually.

 

Lance walked through the mall until he reached the shop he had in mind. As expected, it looked very luxurious and expensive, with a man greeting the two of them immediately, offering his help. Lance refused, beginning to lead his boyfriend through the racks of clothing. "Okay... So, I'm thinking a grey suit. Do you think that'll work for you?" He asked, turning to look at the other with a soft look in his eyes. A couple moments later, he turned his attention away, slowly going through a couple of suits before pulling one out. "This one, for example?" He suggested, looking curiously at the other. The suit itself was of a dark grey color with white lining. "How about I pick a couple out and you can go try them on?"

[Sathenus]

Nathan was honestly happy that Lance also wanted to make their relationship work. At least it meant that his boyfriend was willing to start over. In the end he hoped that this time things would go better, and truly believed that what had happened this morning had just been pent up stress. Nodding when he was asked if they should go shopping he slipped out of the vehicle and looked at the hand that was being offered. For a moment he hesitated before slipping his hand into Lance's. Part of starting over meant that he had to act like this morning hadn't happened. When he wasn't thinking about it doing that was much easier.

 

Allowing himself to be lead into the mall he let his eyes wander as Lance lead the way to a rather expensive looking store. His thoughts were confirmed considering they were met right away with a man who offered to help them out. His boyfriend didn't seem remotely interested in allowing the man to do that as he was lead past him and over to a rack watching Lance go through the suits hanging there. As he watched Lance his mind drifted to other things, mainly wondering when he would need another suit. It seemed... almost unnecessary for the other man to want to buy him such a nice one to replace the one he had previously. Considering to Nathan his previous suit wasn't anywhere near the quality of those currently being presented to him.

 

The one Lance pulled out and asked him his opinion about made him hesitate before speaking. Not one hundred percent sure how to respond, it looked well made but he wasn't sure it was him. Then again none of the suits really seemed like they would be him. "I don't mind what color. Whatever you think would look the best on me." He admitted with a small shrug. "Okay." Nathan replied when Lance asked if he should pick a couple out and have him go try them on. That seemed fine to him, it would be easier for them to pick something this way. In all honesty he didn't really think he looked that good in any suit, suits just weren't him.

 

But for Lance he would try on as many as he had to as long as they walked out with no more than one. Even if he felt truly cared for by the other man he didn't want to be pampered in this way. It was one thing to take him out to expensive dinners, and even that was unnecessary. It was a completely other thing to shower him with expensive clothes, something he also felt was unnecessary. Patiently he watched as Lance looked through the racks and pulled out a few mores suits that he seemed to think would look good on him. Once the selection was made he was lead over to the changing rooms so that he could try them on. Taking the first one that was handed to him he entered the room to change into it. Once he was dressed he looked himself over before shaking his head, not feeling it himself but wanting Lance's opinion to be the final judgement. Stepping out he gave his boyfriend a questioning look obviously wondering if he approved.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance couldn't hold in a sigh at his boyfriend's rather dismissive attitude towards the suits, specifically the color. It just felt wrong, and Lance would have been lying if he said he didn't feel a little bit hurt because of the way Nathan was acting. Although it could have been far worse, of course, this still felt bad. This was important! Lance strongly believed that every man should have at least one nice suit, though it was better to have at least two to switch around from time to time. He personally had at least six full suits, all of slightly different styles and colors. He wanted for his boyfriend to match, at least while they were just a normal couple.

 

Following his boyfriend to the dressing room, Lance waited for him to try on the suits he'd picked out. The man shook his head at the first suit, deciding the color didn't look good after all. Perhaps the lighter one would work... He didn't like the black suit either, the white one was too light, but he'd taken a light grey suit with red lining - it was a bit more exotic, something more interesting and Lance found himself truly enjoying how it looked on his boyfriend. "Alright, I think we'll go with this one." Stepping closer, the man gently ran his hands over the jacket's sleeves, then flattened it down against Nathan's body, all the while doing a lot more touching than necessary. He crouched down, lightly patting over the top of the pants, then slid his hands down to his boyfriend's ankles. "Okay, so... The pants should be just a little bit shorter. I'll have them tailored for you later. Or, actually, we can ask for them to do it now and come back for the whole suit after our movie."

 

After deciding this, Lance pushed his boyfriend into the dressing room, gently cupping his cheek. "I can't resist." He breathed out, leaning in close to lightly press their lips together. "...I still need to pick out some ties for you..." The man murmured against his boyfriend's lips, then claimed them into a soft kiss once more. He needed to touch his lover. He couldn't wait anymore. He didn't intend to go all the way, not here, but some kissing never hurt.

[Sathenus]

Not to surprised when the first suit was dismissed Nathan nodded and reentered the dressing room. Changing into the next one he thought the dark color of a standard black suit didn't match his light skin tone. Heading out to show Lance he noticed his boyfriend seemed to agree as it was once more dismissed. The white one ended in a similar manner and as he returned to the dressing room once more he glanced towards the remaining suit. It was the last one that his boyfriend had picked out, and it had to work. Slipping into it he looked himself over in the mirror. Out of all of them this one definitely looked the best as he stepped back out to show his boyfriend. Finally he seemed to get the older man's approval. As Lance approached and smoothed it out Nathan was more than a little aware of the unnecessary touching that was involved. Despite that he didn't complain, rather he just watched his boyfriend as he reached his ankles and mentioned getting it tailored.

 

For a moment he wondered if Lance was really going to have it done when they get home. Even he could tell that he was naturally a height not many prepared for when it came to suits. It didn't bother him of course, he liked being more on the short side. When all was said and done and Lance pushed him gently back into the dressing room he looked up at him. Feeling the hand cup his cheek as their lips were brought close together. Kissing Lance back Nathan allowed his eyes to slip shut as he reached up and set his hand on his boyfriends hip. Honestly he liked being this close to Lance and not really worrying about anything. When the kiss was finally broken he decided to address the fact that he mentioned ties. "If you are going to insist on getting me a tie as well you'll have to teach me how to put it on." In all honestly Nathan was completely hopeless when it came to such things. Not being used to having such things.

 

For Lance he would learn, he really did love the man standing before him. More than he felt he should in the small time frame they had been together. Already he had managed to forget about this morning and being raped. It seemed as if his mind had already suppressed. Flashing a genuine smile he spoke his voice a little teasing, "Are you sure I look good in this? Suits don't exactly show off the ass." As if to emphasize he turned a little and glanced over his shoulder to look into the mirror. He didn't look bad, but he had been right about the fact that it really didn't show off his ass. Something that he felt every suit hid, which might not always be a bad thing.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance was initially being a bit more careful with all of his touching, even if there was still a lot of it. He didn't want to corner Nathan again, in fear of his boyfriend running away, but... Everything seemed to be going smoothly. The kiss was returned, even with a hand being placed on his hip. Nathan was enjoying their kiss, wasn't he? It made Lance feel happy, truly. This mood was bound to show throughout the rest of the day. He would be able to give his boyfriend everything he could now without being held back by his fears - until the next screw up, of course.

 

"You don't know how to tie a tie?" Lance asked with a ridiculously shocked expression. "Oh, God." He muttered in disbelief, shaking his head. "Of course I'll teach you... How come you never learned?" He asked in great confusion, gently running his hands over the other's sides, then slid his fingers up to start unbuttoning the jacket so he could buy everything. His heart jumped and picked up the pace when his boyfriend decided to make a comment about the suit - and his ass. Lance managed a small chuckle, a bit too surprised and taken aback by the change in his demeanor to react properly at first. "Well... Suits aren't really made to show off asses. We could... Get some other clothes for you that would show it off, if you want the world to see it." Lance chuckled, a teasing tone in his voice. Good, then he'd get Nathan some cute underwear for the closest special occasion.

 

"I feel like if the suit would show off your amazing butt, I would just get too jealous. We wouldn't be able to go out anywhere." Lance muttered out softly, leaning close to catch his boyfriend's lips into another kiss, this one deeper, a bit braver, even. Now he wasn't scared of being pushed away again, and Lord, he hoped his newfound bravery wouldn't be shattered. "Alright, let's go find you some ties." Lance breathed out against his lover's lips, gently bumping their noses together before pulling away. Man, he was actually having a lot of fun here! Taking Nathan's hand, the man lead him through the store, taking various ties to try against his suit. He picked out three - one a simple black tie, a necessity, then a red one to match the lining, and finally a light grey one with red patterns, to mimic the suit's colors. "Do you like these?" Lance asked with a rather excited smile. He liked shopping, a lot! Both for himself and his loved ones. It was truly a fun pastime for him.

[Sathenus]

Laughing a little nervously Nathan rubbed the back of his neck and gave a slightly shy smile. "I guess it's just because the occasion never arose." he admitted. In all honesty, by the way Lance had asked him he felt like he should have known how to tie a tie. It came down to the fact though that he didn't. If someone asked him to do so he would without a doubt make a fool of himself. Something that was far from appealing, and would be nothing but embarrassing. Lance had agreed to teach him though and so he was happy about that finding both of them in better moods. It seemed like the rest of their day was set to be nothing but great.

 

Smiling when he heard Lance comment on suits not being made to show off asses. Pouting slightly, "They should be." he commented making his voice sound a little disappointed. For a moment he didn't comment on what else was said. Then with a small shrug he spoke once more. "If you really want to I wont complain." Though shopping was not something he enjoyed he did enjoy spending time with Lance. Not to mention clothes that showed off any part of him was something he could appreciate. "Even if a suit did show off my amazing butt I would still be yours." Nathan replied with a smile. It was cute in a way that his boyfriend admitted he would be jealous. In the end it didn't change the fact that whether or not his butt looked amazing in something he was still the older man's. Loyalty was something that Nathan had an abundance of and never wavered from.

 

Walking along beside his boyfriend as the older man looked at ties he hummed softly. When he was asked if he liked them he gave a genuine smile and nodded. "They work so well with the suit." he commented. If there was one thing he knew for sure it was Lance's ability to find things that looked great. As his eyes met Lance's he remembered what type of movie they would be seeing soon. It made him honestly excited, a horror movie after all was an excuse to be close to your date. Not like he truly needed an excuse to be close to Lance. At least he didn't feel like he needed one. "Shall we buy everything so we can head out and see our movie? We don't want to be late."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

"I do want to. A lot. I would give anything to see you walking around in shorts." Lance admitted with a playful grin, reaching over to give his ass a light squeeze. Now that he felt like he could make comments like this he wouldn't stop. No, they would only get worse as time went on. But, enough about the future. What was important was right now, right in front of him. Lance still felt amazed that Nathan was his lover. "But others would try to get a piece of you. I don't doubt your loyalty... But I want to keep your ass just for myself to see." Lance explained with a laugh, lightly patting his ass just before they walked off to get ties.

 

"Smart thinking. But... You still need shoes to go with this. I promise, we'll be quick." Lance flashed a smile, grabbed his boyfriend's hand and lead him over to find good shoes. That, thankfully, didn't take long whatsoever and the two of them soon walked out with two bags - one had the suit and ties, the other had a pair of leather shoes of the same color as the suit. "Now you'll look perfect. One suit isn't enough, of course, but it's a start." Lance chuckled, taking the bags into one hand before offering the other for his boyfriend. "We'll be just in time for our movie, too. See? Everything turned out perfect."

 

Lance lead them both through the mall, right until they ended up by a cinema hall. "Do you want snacks? Because I feel like getting some popcorn, and I definitely want coke." This was probably the simplest thing Lance had wanted so far. It didn't even suit his persona all that well. For a man like him, it would have suited better to get shrimps or some other expensive meal to bring into the cinema - sadly, that couldn't even happen. And, perhaps, he didn't necessarily want it to happen. He actually quite enjoyed popcorn, especially the salty kind.

[Sathenus]

"Shorts do make my ass look good." Nathan agreed with a pensive look on his face. It seemed almost strange that his boyfriend really hadn't seen him in shorts. But at the same time he understood why he hadn't. Shorts were what he wore when hanging out with friends, or knowingly going to the beach. Not when he was just lounging at home, or with his boyfriend. That seemed a bit strange in itself, at least he thought most people would see it that way. Shrugging it off he gave Lance a knowing smile at his next comment. "As long as you know where my loyalty lies." He replied.

 

Truth be told as long as Lance understood where his loyalty lied then he didn't care how many people looked. That was the least of his worries. Allowing himself to be lead over to find some shoes he huffed softly. He was much more looking forward to going to see the movie than he was about shoes. Despite that he didn't complain and it really didn't take them long. They were walking out of the store a few minutes later and he couldn't help but be happy about it. "It really is perfect timing." Nathan admitted as they reached the cinema.

 

At the mention of snacks he considered it not responding at first. "It doesn't really matter to me." The last thing on his mind was snacks which did seem strange when it came to a movie. But surprisingly he was still rather full from breakfast, even if they had skipped lunch as they had been shopping. Deciding to just be honest about it he spoke, "I'm still full from breakfast." That wasn't something that was unusual for him after all. "You should get yourself a snack though. I just really want to spend time with you." He added after some silence had passed.

 

In the end he didn't really care what they were doing as long as they were spending time together. Watching a move was the perfect time for him to be close to Lance while possible making it seem like it was because of the movie. Even if he honestly felt like his boyfriend wouldn't care if he stuck close either way. Looking up at the older man he gave a smile, "So what is the movie about anyways?"

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance could feel his bottom eyelid twitch at the answer. Again with those irritating replies... He wasn't sure if his boyfriend reacted to his short tenseness or if he realized by himself what he'd done wrong, but Lance was glad that Nathan changed his answer - or rather, added something to it. "It's a pretty long movie though... I'll take a big salty popcorn and I'll get drinks for both of us. I'm sure you'll get thirsty during the movie." The man offered a soft smile as he lead his boyfriend to collect their snacks and pay for both them and their tickets.

 

Hearing the question, Lance couldn't help but let out a quiet laugh. "Honestly? I have no idea. I didn't understand anything from the trailer, but... If it helps, there were tons of good reviews. People said it's both scary enough to really leave an impact and still interesting enough to be too intrigued to turn off." He replied with a smile, walking into the cinema hall. As they found their seats, Lance placed the popcorn on his lap, leaning close to his boyfriend. "If you want to, you can always cling onto me." He chuckled softly, pressing a light kiss to Nathan's temple. He really hoped that would happen... Tossing some popcorn into his mouth, Lance got comfortable in his seat, eyes glued to the screen as the movie started. He really hoped it wouldn't disappoint.

 

By the time it finished, Lance was, to say the least, a little bit spooked. The movie didn't rely on completely mystic things, so to say. Everything in it could be logically explained, and he was sure that there would be people who couldn't sleep afterwards. He thought of himself as a big fan of horror movies, but he rarely found one that actually managed to affect him. Intertwining his fingers with Nathan's, he walked them out of the hall, tossing out the empty bags and cups. "So... You wanna spend the night at my house?" He chuckled quietly, reaching up to run a hand over his hair. "I really wouldn't mind not being alone after, err... That."

[Sathenus]

Nathan had noticed quickly his original response to the suggestion of snacks had not gone over well with Lance. It was realizing that as to why he originally added more to it and tried to explain himself. At the suggestion of getting him a drink since it was a long movie he didn't argue. Rather happily accepted the offer even if he would normally have declined. Already he felt like his boyfriend had spent to much on him today. Despite that it seemed like he just couldn't get Lance to stop spending money. Even if it was just a drink, it was still more money he was spending.

 

A little amused when he was told that the older man didn't honestly know what the movie about he smiled. At least that meant he wasn't the only one going in not really understanding what it was. As they took their seats he managed to pull his legs up underneath him to get more comfortable. Looking over to Lance when he spoke saying he could cling to him if he wanted. That was honestly a relief considering he was almost sure he would. Horror movies were not his favorite but they were great for cuddling. In a way acting as an excuse to cling to your date.

 

Smiling he nodded before turning his gaze to the screen. In the end he did find himself clinging to Lance through most of the movie. As they exited the theater hand in hand he was just happy to stretch his legs. It really had been a long movie and he had been appreciative of his drink as it went on. Glancing up at Lance when he asked if he wanted to spend the night he considered it. If he was being honest he had really planned on going home after the movie and just relaxing at home. But it was the next comment that tugged at his heartstrings. Was he really going to say no to that?

 

Giving a small smile he decided to give in to his boyfriend. "I would love to." He answered his eyes taking on a more gentle look. Who was he to turn down spending more time with such a nice guy? Not to mention the movie had spooked him a little and spending the night with his boyfriend versus home alone sounded like a fantastic idea. Knowing very well his mind would mess with him if he went home. At least if it did that at Lance's he had the older man to seek comfort in. "Should we head to your place then? It is getting late after all."

Lance's face lit up with a genuine, happy smile at the reply he got. Fantastic! He couldn't stop himself from leaning in, cupping the other's cheek and giving him a rather long, sweet kiss. "Thanks, babe." He chuckled against his boyfriend's lips, gripping his hand a little bit tighter. "Yeah, let's go. Ah... Wait, you still don't have anything to wear. Look, let's just run in and buy you a T-shirt and a pair of boxers to sleep in. I'll drive you home tomorrow and you can borrow my clothes for the drive." Lance suggested, immediately pulling off his boyfriend into the nearest shop. There wasn't the possibility of saying no to this man.

 

When they finally left the mall and got to their car, Lance let out a soft sigh, lazily stretching his arms above his head. "You know... I'd call this day a success." He chuckled to himself, looking over to Nathan as they got into his car. "I'm so happy I got to spend time with you." He added softly, leaning in for another soft peck before turning to begin their drive home. He finally got to thinking about how to make Nathan stay with him for longer. Flooding his apartment? Or perhaps infesting it with something. What was hardest to get rid of?.. He'd have to look into it and then hire someone to do his dirty job. He'd have Nathan all to himself.

 

"Uh... I was thinking..." Lance began a little bit hesitantly as he kept his eyes on the road. "I'd love to introduce you to my parents. They're always excited about my love life, I know my mother would adore you." He spoke with a light smile on his face. "I... Know it's maybe too soon, but you know how real my feelings are for you. I can't imagine dating someone else but you. You're... You're just perfect for me. And I want my parents to know that, too." He finally finished up, letting out a quiet sigh as his fingers clenched around the steering wheel. "I-I understand if you want to wait, but it's important for me. Family's always been a big part of my life."

[Sathenus]

Happy when Lance agreed for them to go he gave his boyfriend a skeptical look when he suddenly said to wait. Listening as he spoke for a moment and pursing his own lips. He didn't really want to go shopping again and let him spend even more money on him. Frowning he realized telling him no wasn't an option when he was pulled off to the nearest store. Sighing he went along with it and before long they were heading out of the mall and towards the car. Nathan had never been so happy in his life to see the care before.

 

As they got in he glanced towards his boyfriend as he spoke and gave a small smile. "I'll agree with you there." He replied leaning back against the seat and relaxing for a moment. Then he put his seat belt on before glancing back towards Lance. "I'm happy we got to spend time together too." Today honestly had been a nice day, once they had gotten out the day flew by. Kissing him back a smile crossed his face and before long Lance was driving down the street.

 

It was when he heard his boyfriend start to hesitantly speak that he looked up from the dark street. He was honestly surprised to hear that his boyfriend wanted him to meet the mans parents. It felt... to early for something like that. At the same time he couldn't find a real reason to argue. But what if Lance's parents didn't like him? That was something he knew he didn't want to deal with. Taking in a breath he spoke, "I... suppose I could meet them. But..." Trailing off he tried to think of how to state his fears. "What if your parents don't like me?" Finally the words slipped past his lips and he kept his gaze down.

 

He hoped deep down that Lance wasn't the type to break up with him if his parents didn't approve. Knowing that the older man's family was important to him meant that he wanted them to like him. Nathan just couldn't shaking the feeling that they may not. Normally he was okay with someone not liking him. But that was easy to say when he wouldn't have to deal with those people. Surely if it was his boyfriends parents he would be seeing quite a bite of them.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance shook his head with a warm smile. "Mon amour, they'll absolutely adore you. After all... I love you. That has to mean something." He let out a faint chuckle, reaching out with one hand to gently grip his boyfriend's. "I intended to visit them next week, actually... So, you wanna tag along? I think my sister should be there as well. I feel like you two will get along perfectly." The man smiled fondly, stopping at a red light. Using this chance, he leaned in for a short kiss, lightly squeezing Nathan's hand. "Everything will be fine, you have to trust me on this one."

 

In a few more minutes they were home. Lance got out of the car, leaving it at the garage as per usual before walking inside his house. "Do you feel like doing something more before sleep?" He asked, setting their shopping bags down on the floor by the door. "Or... Maybe you're hungry now? I at least want some tea, but I could make something for you." The man suggested with a warm smile, lightly wrapping an arm around the other's waist to pull him in for a longer kiss, letting his hand slide down slightly, giving his ass the lightest squeeze. "So what'll it be?" He asked after pulling back just a couple of inches, as if daring Nathan to lean back into the kiss. He could feel his boyfriend's breath tickling his skin...

 

Lance felt like he shouldn't initiate sex for tonight. It was too big of a risk. Of course, if Nathan decided to take the lead, he'd go along no matter what, and he definitely wouldn't allow Nathan to back out of it if he tried. If there was really love between them, promises had to be kept. That was a fact. He'd already promised Nathan that they would be together forever, and now that wouldn't be changed. It didn't matter what means he had to use to make them work, but God, they were going to stay together.

[Sathenus]

"Okay." Nathan replied feeling a little better with Lance's encouragement that his parents would like him. Though he doubted that they would absolutely adore him in any way. Then again he didn't know them either and what they liked. Still, Nathan couldn't help but wonder about what may happen if they didn't like him. His mind wondering if they thought he wouldn't be good enough for their son. A very real possibility in his mind, but something he tried not to think to much on. The quick kiss at the red light helped him relax even more. By the time they arrived home it was settled and he would go with his boyfriend. Trust was something he was learning to give Lance easily and now was no different.

 

As they entered the house he let out a soft sigh and stretched feeling extremely tired. Though he didn't fully understand why. It wasn't like he had really done anything today considering they had watched a movie and shopped. A smile spread across his face when he was pulled closer. Loosely wrapping his arms around his boyfriend's neck as he returned the kiss. "You know. I am feeling a little hungry." Nathan admitted with a small smile before closing the distance again. He thoroughly enjoyed kissing him and being this close to him. Not to mention there was a sense of comfort he felt in the other's arms. His mind having successfully locked away the events of this morning.

 

It also occurred to Nathan that tomorrow he should probably spend the night at his own apartment. As much as he loved being with Lance he had his own place. Watching his boyfriend for a moment he let his thoughts wander. How was he going to mention it in a way that wouldn't upset his boyfriend? Pursing his lips he shrugged it off. He'd worry about it in the morning. For now he was just going to enjoy spending another night with the older man. Leaning against Lance he let his eyes slip shut for a moment. Enjoying the closeness before pulling slightly away. "Maybe just something light to eat before heading to bed?" he questioned.

 

For right now he thought it was best to return Lance's attention to tea and dinner. Though Nathan knew that Lance wasn't hungry. "I can help you if you'd like." He added figuring he should offer. He wasn't much of a chef but he didn't mind trying to help.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

A brilliant idea was born in Lance's head when Nathan admitted to being a little bit hungry. He could slip a little something into his food or drink, make him easier to take to bed... A man such as himself always had various drugs on himself that he could use on people. Some just knocked people out, others made them aroused and his favorite one made people feel something that couldn't be called simple arousal anymore. If he could get a little bit of that into Nathan's tea, for example, his boyfriend would undoubtedly feel too hot and bothered not to try to get with Lance again. It was perfect!

 

"Oh, don't worry about helping. I enjoy cooking, especially for you." Lance smiled softly, pressing a soft kiss to his boyfriend's cheek as he walked off to the kitchen. "You want some tea?" The man asked, glancing over his shoulder. "I have all kinds. Come and pick one out." He offered, motioning to the many small metal boxes on a shelf, each containing different teas with labels on the front. Lance truly did have all kinds - everything from plain black tea to green tea with cacti and dried fruit. "Alright... I'm thinking, maybe pancakes? Or is that too much for evening?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, leaning against the counter after setting the teapot to boil water. He'd drink tea as well, of course. Perhaps without the drug, however... It wasn't that cheap, so he didn't want to waste it.

[Sathenus]

Nathan smiled slightly at the kiss to his cheek. He figured that he would just keep Lance company while he cooked then. Following him into the kitchen as he was asked if he wanted some tea. Considering it for a moment he gave a small shrug, "Sure. Sounds good actually." Tea was a nice way to relax and prepare for bed after all. Turning his gaze to the numerous metal boxes of tea on the shelf he was motioned to he looked over each. Some sounded really good while others didn't really grasp his attention. In the end he decided on Dragons Eye Oolong tea, it was one he particularly enjoyed. Though he was quite pleased to see that Lance had it considering he always found it frustrating to find.

 

After he had picked it and handed it over to Lance he considered the idea of pancakes for dinner. It was light enough yet filling as well and it did sound really good. "Pancakes sound great." He responded with a smile. Settling himself down at the table he watched his boyfriend as the water started to boil before his attention moved elsewhere. It was always nice to just relax inside with the older man. Anytime with Lance he truly enjoyed, some moments he just enjoyed more. This happened to be one of those moments as he relaxed in his chair. His mind once more roving to tomorrow and how he would bring up the idea of heading home and spending some time in his own apartment.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance smiled in delight when his boyfriend agreed to having tea. This night was about to get a lot better. "Alright, love. You want them with something inside? I could add some apples to the batter." He suggested as he walked over to the fridge, pulling out some eggs and milk, then opened a cabinet to pull out flour. Before mixing anything, he made Nathan a cup of tea, discreetly pouring in some of the drug along with sugar. He mixed the liquid thoroughly before setting the mug down in front of his boyfriend. "There you go, kitten." Lance chuckled lightly, turning back around to begin preparing the batter for pancakes. Soon enough, he was sure, Nathan would show signs of arousal. The drug worked slow enough for the lust to become unbearable soon after they were done with the pancakes.

 

Lance began humming lightly as he heated up a pan, melting a piece of butter in it before beginning to cook the pancakes. "How's the tea?" He asked casually before reaching out for his own cup, taking a small sip. He knew the drug had no taste, at least. Nathan couldn't suspect anything. Like he would anyway... Honestly, his boyfriend was a bit too naive to remain safe in a world like this. Lance would take it upon himself to protect his lover from the harm. The plate slowly filled up with pancakes, which were soon enough set down on the table with two additional empty plates for both of them to eat from. Lance got out the caramel sauce, whipped cream and some jams to have with the pancakes in case Nathan wanted anything. "Bon appetit!" He exclaimed, offering a wide, warm smile before taking a couple of pancakes for himself. Although he'd eaten snacks during the movie, he wouldn't refuse the warm meal.

[Sathenus]

"That sounds really good." Nathan responded with a smile. The idea of apples being added to the pancake batter did make his stomach growl. "Thanks." he said before taking a sip of his hot tea sighing softly. It tasted really good and like he had expected it helped him relax. Nathan continue to sip at his tea as Lance worked on making the pancakes. It had to be about halfway through his boyfriend cooking that he shifted in his chair a little uncomfortable. He managed to keep the reason behind it off his face. His growing arousal would be hard to hide for very long though. That was something he was more than a little aware of.

 

When the pancakes were served he shifted in his chair again and kept his eyes slightly averted. Though he put some pancakes on his plate, added some jam and whipped cream before taking a bite. It tasted amazing, and he was quickly growing to like Lance's cooking. As they ate he managed to hide his arousal for the most part. By the time they finished though it was impossible to hide. His growing need made a soft sound of discomfort slip from his lips. As much as he needed relief he wasn't really sure how to ask Lance for it. Deep down he knew he could excuse himself disappear to the bathroom and try to take care of it himself. But, as he looked deeper into himself he knew he wanted his boyfriend to help him with it.

 

"Lance..." he whispered his voice a little strained. Eyes moving from the table where they had fallen to his boyfriend. He watched the other man for a moment before he slipped out of his chair. Instantly he moved closer to Lance and leaned down kissing him once he was close enough. Even that seemed to ignite his body and make his arousal harder to ignore. "Maybe we could... have some fun?" he asked hesitantly. Still uncertain how he should go about asking Lance for what he wanted. It was impossible for him to ignore his need any longer. A slight blush had colored his face at just what he was initiating. Having sex with Lance had not been his intention when he had agreed to spend the night again.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lance noticed how badly Nathan was trying to hide his growing erection, but decided not to show it until his boyfriend addressed the problem himself. Which happened soon enough - it was worth the wait. The drug, Lance was sure of it, would keep Nathan aroused even after his first orgasm. He certainly didn't mind a sleepless night, but he'd use this happening to guilt Nathan into having sex whenever he wanted from now on. After all, if Nathan showed such a side of himself, why would he keep it hidden anymore?

 

His boyfriend calling out his name still sent shivers down his spine. He looked up, only to be greeted with a kiss, to which he rather eagerly responded. The request brought a grin to his face. "How could I say no to you? Especially like this." He murmured, standing up to wrap one arm around the other's waist before using his other hand to lightly palm at his boyfriend's cock. "What got you so excited, kitten? Did you think dirty thoughts and decided you wanted them to come true?" Lance teased his lover before lifting him up, seating him down on the table. "Why don't you tell me a little bit more about your idea of fun? Like... Where should we have fun? What do you want me to do to you? Or... Maybe what you want to do to me?" He breathed out, his fingers slipping underneath Nathan's shirt to completely pull it off, tossing it on a chair. He wanted to fuck him in the kitchen. There was something about having sex here that felt appealing. Having his lovers bend over a table as he fucked them was most likely his favorite thing - aside, of course, from slowly breaking their minds.

 

Lance moved closer, beginning to plant slow, teasing kisses down from his lover's jawline to his collarbone, feeling his arousal beginning to grow. "I never imagined you could be naughty. Perhaps there are new things to try out with you..." He trailed off, whispering against his ear, letting a light laugh slip out afterwards. God, he was enjoying this. He wanted to tease Nathan enough for his boyfriend to really show a needy, slutty side. He knew that everyone had that, except some people had it hidden so deep it was hard to pull out. Not impossible, however. "Just say please... And if you call me Daddy, I'll make you feel real good." He murmured, a shiver running down his spine at the thought.
