It’s been fun, but I think it’s time I head home. Just... wasn’t working out.

Kane paused in his counting, brows risen at the boy’s plead. A low, guttural laugh was just the beginning as it turned into a full-blown laughter. He still kept his grip on the boy, but his head was thrown back, fully amused by it all. “Yes!” He reeled back, laughter gone but smirk still in place. “This is what I want. You, beggin’ like the slave you are! I can do whatever to ya and there’s nothing ya can do.” He sniffed, pulling away with his arms crossed. “Strip.” 

Nate’s breathing calmed slightly, relieved the other had stopped beating around the bush, even if he was trying a very obvious power move. Stripping didn’t phase Nate too much anymore though-- school wide punishments typically resulted in everyone naked, and he was fairly comfortable with his own body. He silently reminded himself of the perks of being a ‘slave’ on the island though, and that the guard did have limits imposed on him by the school. Whatever he had planned, He’d  just grin and bear it. 

With that thought in mind, he neatly stripped off his clothing, glaring with his eyes trained on Kane the entire time.

“I don’t think they are.” She never asked Jude for any demonstration of her powers, but she was almost certain that she was not under the restrictions of the previous time she was on the island. 

Nate sighed. He had figured as much, and had little desire fore the same result-- why stay if that was the case? “Well.. this has been very enlightening professor, but I think it’s time I headed back to my cell. Thanks uh.. for the information.”

       Noah’s expression did something complicated when he realized he’d been staring at someone he knew–a twitch of pleasant surprise, because hadn’t seen Nate in quite a while, a hint of embarrassment at the fact that he’d been that distracted, and–well, okay, a little bit of apprehension, because seeing people he knew lately usually meant answering a lot of questions. 

        Only a second though, and then he schooled it into a smile, shrugged at Nate’s question. “Right as rain, sugar,” he said, and then, because it was best to get it out of the way, before he moved in such a way as to reveal his wings and gave it away: “Well, dead. I’m dead. How are you? I ain’t seen you since–christ, I don’t know. Been a while, ain’t it?”

Nate stilled for a moment, taking in Noah’s response. What the fuck had happened.His features immediately filled with concern, moving closer to the other, words spilling out softly an impulsively without forethought. “Are you- alright? I mean... did it hurt?” His eyes raked over the other’s form, still partially in shock.

“I see, well I hope you will do better this time around.” He takes a sip of his drink before looking down at his hands. This is the only chance he will ever get and he has to say something to him or he will regret it forever. “Nate……I want to apologize for what I have done to you in the past. I pushed myself onto you without getting to know you first or even asking how you felt. I scared you with my insecurities and that was not fair to you. I want to start over as friends, no sex or feelings attached. I want to fix my mistake and I want to leave on a good note. You dont have to forgive me I just wanted to tell you that I was horrible to you and that I have changed.” He looks back at the boy holding out his hand looking a bit nervous. 

“And I promise to not try anything with you unless you truly want it. I learned to respect others and their feelings and I want to prove it to you. So…..can we just be friends?” He finally said it, he finally got the courage to say his feelings and his apology to the one person he hurt the most. He hope that Nate would find it in his heart that he has changed and truly meant what he said. 

Nate’s lips pulled tight, struggling to not let his lips slip into a frown. “I can’t promise anything, but  we can see. There’s a difference between saying you’ve changed and seeing it.”

“Then you’re definitely hanging out with the wrong women on this island.  Quite a few of us could toss you around - myself excluded.  I’m about as physically threatening as a mouse,” she chuckled, hoping that the attempt at humor would help that blush fade.  Though Rowan had to admit, the pink looked nice on him.  “Though I’ve never really dated anyone, girl or boy, so that kind of puts you ahead of my pack, at least.”

Nate shrugged, smiling. “Your words not mine. My experience means jack shit here anyways so I wouldn’t say I’m that far ahead,” he teased. “Doesn’t really matter what I prefer anyways if nobody in general is interested,” he added dryly. “The last time I did anything sexual with anyone was when I was forced to last February during the school punishment, and there’s almost no privacy in the cells, so I’ll leave you to fill in the blanks.”

“You might want to ask Jude about that. She was once in the same position as you are, yet she’s come back to the Institute as a teacher.” Sabrina could not imagine why a grant student would wish to stay longer when she’d seen the way that many were treated. They might not be allowed to be permanently harmed, but there was so much worse that could happen to them. Then once they were finished with it all, their memories were taken away from them. It was horrid, but at least they would not have to live the scars that came with being treated like a object that could be used and disposed of at will.  “I don’t see why they would turn down anyone who wishes to be a student for life.” They would either get the person’s money or their services. 

Nate tried to think if he’d ever met Jude, but the name didn’t ring a bell. “But her abilities wouldn’t be bound anymore if she’s a teacher,” he mulled over outloud.

Qhuinn chuckled ruefully to herself, shaking her head too as she gently wrapped her fingers around Nate’s and squeezed. “No..I totally understand. Kinda feeling the same myself right now, honestly. We could go do something fun? Just hang out, go see a movie. Whatever you’re in the mood for”

Nate paused a moment before responding. “How about a drink?”

[nate-lennox]

Kane let out a laugh then, more dry than actually holding any merit. A slow, devious smirk grew on his face as he held his arms behind his back. He shook his head, tsking with amusement. “Now, that’s the funny thing. Ya don’t want to disclose anything but I’ve already learned more than ya want me to know.”

Pacing slowly, he wagged one finger with his signature grin. “Fine. Ya don’t need to tell me a thing and I honestly don’t have the time in the world to want to follow up on your life story. You’re right. I don’t give a damn.” But he will always get what he wants. All it takes is time. 

Nate’s eyebrows knit together, not sure what the other thought he knew that was so important. “Great. That means I can leave now then, right?” He asked, crossing his arms.

“If I’ve got company….I like a little cream with my movie watching.”

“Wow. You’ve got to be kidding me.”

[nate-lennox]

So how's the love life?

Try nonexistent.

While Qhuinn smiled and was appreciative of her understanding, what he said did nothing to quiet her worries. Her hand moved to his now, gently squeezing then stroking her fingers lightly over his. “Going through the motions doesn’t sound like such a good thing. I should know.. Do you want to talk about it?” she asked quietly.

Nate shook his head, forcing a smile still. “Nah.. I mean-- I appreciate it. And maybe a few weeks down the road I’ll feel more up for it, but right now.. I don’t know. It’s just hard to put into words.”

“You’d think that some magic user or other would have fixed it by now.” It was silly to complain about the weather of all things, but it was nice to think about something simple. “Maybe we could have a magic bubble of sun at some point.”

Nate shrugged, chuckling. Home. He admittedly did miss it, but another thought had been creeping at the edge of his mind as well lately. “Do you think... I mean-- does the school ever employ grant students? Like.. if we never wanted to leave? Not- n-ot suggesting.. just.. Have you heard of other individuals with their abilities bound here aside from students? Or like... a perpetual student? Like.. taking classes forever and pretty much getting provided for so long as they go along with the whole slave-role thing?” 

It wasn’t that Nate wanted to be a slave... but aside from the school wide punishments, he hadn’t actually minded things thus far. He’d never once been punished outside of it or even threatened, and as much as he missed actual seasons of weather and his own bed, he no longer suffered from his abilities being out of control here. To some degree... that was growing on him. Was it ideal? No... But was it easier for him to see himself getting by here than feeling trapped within his own home back in Boston? Arguably, yes.

Gina chuckled softly at his reply, nodding her head while she lowered her hand and put the wipes back into her bag. “O-Okay, I owe you o-one milkshake whenever y-you want.” She smiled, turning to him, but keeping her focus on his face. “I’ll try to remember, m-milkshake in the c-cup, n-not on you. Got it.” 

Nate threw away the dirty wipes and grabbed his discarded shirt with one hand before commenting, “I’m gonna head back now and get changed.. You’re welcome to join I guess if you want? Otherwise I’ll uh.. see ya around then, Gina.”
