[WRAP ]: when sitting astride a horse/ motorcycle/etc. together, the sender reaches back, takes the receiver's wrists, and gently pulls their arms around the sender's waist in an embrace designed to keep the receiver safe, despite feeling remarkably intimate. ( From Ezra @ezra-ghoshal n.n, liberties can be taken if too soon. )
@ezra-ghoshal (when.... could a cowboy ever be too soon ehehehehehhe i mean ahem.)
nathan lived all his life in new haven. he was born here, grew up here & basically ... he never left. patrick left & see what that got him. them. no, nathan had no intention to ever leave the safety of new haven's barrier. it was there for a reason, after all. also, being a fox didn't exactly equip him with the necessary tools to survive out in the human world of death & blood. he preferred to be alive, really.
still, in all this time - even growing up as a surely spoiled child in a family that hardly struggled with money, he'd ... never ridden a horse. ever. he knew new haven had a ranch, but until he had to, he never made his way there. but there'd been some legal issues to solve, which introduced him to ezra. one thing came to another & nathan ended up on a horse.
for the first time. well, he was co-riding .. kind of. ezra was the one riding & nathan sat behind him. it wasn't quite that easy, but ezra's nudging for nathan to wrap his arms around him was astoundingly sweet. he leaned against his back, fingers entangled against his stomach, maybe he was squeezing a little harder than he had to, just to diminish the distance between them.
"you always take your dates on rides?"
