facts:
he faced the same struggles as teenager, but his rehab visit actually changed his view on things, and he found something he was passionate about.
people always said he wasn’t going to amount to anything so he felt the need to prove them wrong, thus law school.
was always referred to as ‘remy’s younger brother’ but it never actually bothered him.
still 100% into magic, but now it’s just a hobby he does for fun .
he actually graduated with his bachelor’s in three years, then went to the law school in town.
the head lawyer had been working with him for nearly six years by the time he finished, leaving nate to quickly take over once the previous owner retired.
both parents died when he was twenty while he was interning at the law firm, they ruled their deaths an accident.
in his free time he writes songs and plays guitar, but he’s not big on performing for anyone.
wesley felt so different since last month, being able to talk to the others, and have them see him. he was seriously looking forward to this day, for the first time in a long time… he was anticipating something. the entire day prior bothering theo and imogen about how he was going to scare the guests. gaze flickered to the clock which read 11:59, he knew rowan would be walking through that door any minute so quickly, he stood in front of one of the unknowing guests. once the clock struck twelve, he appeared. seemingly out of thin air with a wide smile on his features. “boo.”
nate had thought he was, you know, losing it for a while. but he could do the same appearing and disappearing shit that just happened in front of him, that wasn’t what freaked him out. no, it was that he didn’t recognize the face attached to the trick. however, the expression on his face was that of confusion, rather than shock or surprise, which might’ve been what he was hoping for. “are you.. either really talent or supposedly dead?”
madison perked up a little when she felt his hand on hers, a sense of warmth she hadn’t felt outside of a manufactured drug for the better part of three days. maybe it had been more…she stopped keeping track a long time ago. normally, she would have giggled. she would have smiled at him when he lifted her up and placed her in his lap but madison hardly seemed capable at the moment. but she couldn’t deny how nice it felt to be with someone, it didn’t even matter who it was, settling into their embrace was all she needed to remind her that this was real - she was still there. she simply shook her head when he said she could move, burying her face in the crook of his neck and shoulder. “how? how, nate? they’re all acting like this is fine. like we didn’t just bury four more people. that we didn’t -” her voice cracked, tears forming in her eyes when she thought about stumbling onto wes’s body only a few days ago. how were they all so fine? her tears were freely flowing down her cheeks when one coke cloud that had been fogging her mind shifted. “sorry, oh my god, you don’t have to…you really don’t.” not that she wanted him to stop, it felt nice to be comforted by someone but…by nate? that was unexpected.
when she settled into him instead of moving away, he tightened his arms around her, leaning back into the couch cushions himself. with a laugh that was closer to a low hum in his chest, nate answered with a shake of his head. “they’re not fine. i don’t know about everyone, but gabriel and remy are barely keeping it together. remy’s doing this new thing where he thinks the bottom of a bottle makes him happy. joakim is smiling and playing but his eyes are tired, he’s not standing up as straight as he used to. selene is drinking and talking, or rather flirting, to ignore it.” he broke it down just a little, the little tells that you could pick up on people and could figure out what they were doing, where they were headed, how they were thinking, feeling. “they’re coping, or pretending to. i don’t know yet.”
tilting his head to the side, nate tried to peek at her face, a soft smile changing his features. “how are you doing, blondie? you wanna tell me what’s goin’ on?” he wanted to reach out and help dry some of her tears, but decided not to cross that line entirely, leaving her the space to do as she pleased while still trying to be comforting.
madison had had….a lot of coke and she couldn’t even come up with a valid excuse to lie as to why she was laying on a couch in the study, humming build me up buttercup to herself. and why should she? it was a great song and they were probably trapped in the manor until the all died like wes…and imo…and dave, and michael, and roy… each name burying her deeper into the whole she was manifesting for herself. “today’s the day.” she said to no one in particular though she had a feeling imogen or someone was listening. “why shouldn’t we all give up now?” maybe she wasn’t built for this? with a laugh. she shook her head. “who was built for this?”
that was the thing about being a user (a recovered addict? would he go that far?) himself, he knew what it looked like on other people. so when he saw madison laying on the couch, he knew she had to be on something.. particularly his favorite something. “oh you’re a little high.” nate said from behind her. circling around, he took her hand into his, draping her arm across his shoulders. then he lifted her with an arm behind her back and another under her knees. turning around, he sat on the couch, setting the blonde in his lap. “you can move if you’d like, but i figured you need a hug.” he explained, wrapping his arms around her, tracing soothing circles into the side of her arm.

“oh man.. i used to think of you like a second brother. which is why i went to you the night it happened. but i could tell by your face that you didn’t trust me, you didn’t believe me. so that’s why i left the next day. i didn’t like being looked at like that. but thank you for taking care of him for all these years. i’m glad he had you.”

“you don’t know this but i always paid attention. i always knew what you were doing, what your next project was. i’m really proud of what you’ve done. i’ve always wanted you to succeed. which is why my stage name has zero connection to yours, i couldn’t drag you down with me.”

“you’re a cute little thing huh? i don’t mean it in a demeaning way, you definitely pack a punch, i’m just amazed by how much excitement can fit in one body.”
his mind had been all over the place the last few days. he was a mix of emotions. he hadn’t wanted to be around a lot of people, especially after burying his best friend. shane was someone he had known for a big chunk of his life and now he was gone. like it didn’t even matter. gabriel found himself running a hand through his hair, trying to take out his frustrations with a small tug at the ends.
a shake of the head left his body as he heard the voice. he knew that remy’s brother had made an appearance but he wasn’t so lucky to cross paths. “how many times have you used that line to get someone into bed with you?” his eyes narrowed on the other male. he knew it wasn’t best to entertain nate’s tricks but what else did he have to lose? “what do i get in return?”
nate opened his mouth to bite back initially, but smiled instead, knowing that he was going through something he had no idea of. “you’d be surprised, it landed me in a year long relationship once.” he hated the way gabriel’s eyes settled on him, like he sided with his father and wanted him to stay away from remy.
he blinked at the other, as if it wasn’t obvious that he was just going to do magic tricks. “literally i just wave my hand a few times and go ‘is this your card’ and you say ‘oh yeah yes it is’ or maybe i do more of an optical thing that you get impressed by, i mean.. take your pick.”
