💋 emma + nathan, fa11ingup :*
she's not a mind reader by any accounts, but she can see beneath the surface. he's hesitating. wrestling with an impulse he shouldn't be fighting at all. & if she were to let him keep going back & forth in his head about whether it's a good idea to kiss her or not, they'd be here all day. she shakes her head, a quiet breath exhaled as lips curl into a smile. that's one too many times his eyes have flicked to her mouth – he's had his chance. taking matters into her own hands, something she's grown exceptionally used to, she grips the side of his open jacket & meets him halfway in a firm kiss – decisive & bold, her very own how to guide in sixty seconds or less. one she's enjoying a great deal, if she takes a second to look past the point she's trying to make. still, it's not that emma doesn't think him capable of making the first move. she's just determined to give him a reminder that he is. nose brushes past his cheek as she pulls back, forest greens searching for his gaze. " nate, you're not the cowardly lion anymore. " in fact, he's done one brave thing after another since he got here. why stop with her ? " take a risk next time. sometimes, it's not as scary as you think. "
