"It’s more than tempting," he flashed her a cheeky grin. "Look at us, eh? We can’t do anything without arguing over who’s keeping who safe and who’s doing what. Everything I’ve done in the past few months has been for you. Just to keep you safe. I would die a million times over if it meant giving you this opportunity, this new life. You deserve it, and I’m just lucky enough to be living it with you. That’s what we should focus on.” It was rare for Nathan to be so philosophical about their lives, but when he was his words were usually weighed heavily before being spoken. Just like his promises. “Oh, please. I can easily pull those medical robes off… you.” Fantasy after fantasy played out in his mind, yet he stayed quiet. Now was not the time, though he had an inkling that she already knew. “Good,” he replied quietly after gathering his thoughts. “That’s the way it’s going to be from now on.” Nathan cherished every second their lips worked together, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he allowed himself to lose his train of thoughts in honour of her. It was in these moments that he was fully at rest, doing what he loved, being with who he loved.
"But that sounds like so much work," Nathan grumbled as their lips parted. Even after months of making out and being together, his eyes were always filled with surprise every time they pulled away from each other. Each moment a neverending moment of surprise and hope, feelings that only she could give him. "I guess you’re right, though. Just don’t go meeting any hot guys otherwise I’ll crack out the silent treatment. You’re only allowed ugly male friends. I’m the hot one remember." He leant up and placed a kiss to her forehead then rummaged through a nearby box to find his favourite flannel shirt to wear. He had no intention of making new friends, he didn’t want that. Not after those closest to him betrayed him.
"Stop right there Parrish, or we'll never get out of this bedroom." She returned, holding back a laugh. "I know and I apreeciate everything you've done, however I can't help but feel guilty for dragging you away from Chris, Hayley and the rest of your friends. I know they were like family to you, before I screwed things up. All I can do know is make sure you're happy here. It's not much but it's a start." The brunette replied, her smile apologetic. "Confident now aren't we? Careful Jerry don't make promises you can't keep." Lucy giggled lightly, quickly clearly her head of all fantasies before their banter progressed into reality. "Glad we agree on something for once." She smiled, leaning into his touch. Lucy wasn't too sure she was looking forward to her classes like she had been over the past few days. With their separation looming, she found herself dreading the moment she left his side in search of her own classes.
"You know as well as I do that staying here sounds like a far superior option, but reality calls." She returned, amusement dancing across her features at his look of surprise. Some things just never got old. "Coming from the one that is likely to befriend the entire cheerleading squad accidentally, that's rich. I'll be sure to drag them to Vegas and elope if I do." She teased, waiting to get a reaction from him. "Kidding." Lucy chuckled, pouting as he moved away from her. With a sigh she stood and grabbed her bag, double checking she had everything in the process. "Just have fun, and promise me you won't worry too much?" She said, fixing her bag over her shoulder. "This is our life now. So it's about time we started living it." The witch said confidently, moving up behind him to wrap her arms around his waist as she leant her head upon his shoulder.
