he’d been working late, grading test papers from students that he’d swear couldn’t add two plus two together. it’s tragic, really, that this is what he’s working with when he has so much potential to teach brilliant minds and help them be successful in life. he’s frustrated, in a godawful mood, and he’s ready to let out the stress in any way he can. he’s pent up, knuckles white as he grips his steering wheel far too hard and surveys the road through the beams of his headlights. it’s so dark already, and he barely even notices the young boy walking alongside the road at first. he has to slam on the breaks and reverse up to stop level with him, rolling his window down hastily and yes. fuck yes. it’s exactly who he’d thought it was, though he’d been convinced it was his mind just making him see what he wanted to. nate is stood there, alone and looking vulnerable, and he offers him his most convincing, charming smile. “ hello. need a ride home? it’s not very safe to be walking alone at this hour, ” he advises, knowing full well that all of the danger is very much inside of the vehicle.
