goosebumps cover her skin the moment he touches her. if it were anyone else, they’d simply put up her zipper and send her on her way. but of course, nate does the exact opposite. she’s warm, each brush of his lips leaving her skin hotter than the last. everything about him is irresistible and as much as he might make her angry at times, riley couldn’t stay away if she tried. they’re pulled together like magnets, despite how opposite they are. it isn’t until she feels him suck on her skin that she realizes she’d closed her eyes, completely distracted by his affections. “ nate, ” the brunette complains quietly, making a mental note to cover the hickey up with makeup later. the frustration doesn’t last long, any complaints about him marking her forgotten once he compliments her. the warmth that covers her body is now joined by butterflies that fill her her stomach, something typical around him. “ shut up. ” riley turns in his hold, facing him and resting her hands in his hair. jesus christ, when did that happen ? she swallows down, trying hard not to let her eyes stray from his face and sneak a peek at his shirtless torso. “ no jokes today, this is very serious business. i have to go to a party, baby. do you know what happens at parties ? ” riley tries her best to be serious, though the smile on her face isn’t going anywhere. her volume lowers as if she’s telling him a secret, forehead coming down to touch against his for a moment. “ well, nothing really. but i’m gonna be surrounded by other people. you know what means ? socializing. and trying not to trip on nothing for three hours straight. there’s a lot of pressure … ” her teeth bite her bottom lip as she contemplates testing him, a smirk threatening to appear. “ there are gonna be guys there. what if one of them flirts with me ? who am i to say no ? ”
nate . he loves how she says his name . when she complains , when she's happy , when she's saying it like a prayer . it's ... intoxicating . he's been with plenty of girls . some of them have been able to break through his guard . none of them as quickly as riley had . her rambling , her jokes , her little laugh and how her nose scrunches up ... he'd taken in the information hungrily , cataloging it in his mental directory of her . lips press against her shoulder again , teeth nipping slightly at her skin . ' it isn't a big mark , ' fingers squeeze the indentation of her waist before he leans back . her hands in his hair , he kisses her wrist . will he ever stop touching her , ever stop wanting to kiss her ? he doubts it . when they're alone together , it's like he's a different person . ' what happens at parties ? ' cupping her cheek , he listens . which is a feat , all in itself . he doesn't usually listen to people . instead , he pushes too hard at their buttons and they end up snapping at him . guys who flirt with her ? his brow quirks upwards before he pulls her on top of him , suddenly serious . ' you're mine , ' he reminds her - instantly regretting as the words come out of his mouth . but he holds her close , stretches out a bit more to highlight his shirtlessness ... because it's not like he's just half - naked for himself . ' but i guess you wouldn't have to say no if you were interested and you consented to them putting their grubby hands on you . ' is he jealous ? god , what is wrong with him ?
lindsey looked at him after the no sex comment, feeling seriously offended by it, “why no sex?” she told him, sitting back down beside him, ignoring the angelina jolie comment and saving it in her memory for later, “are you seriously mad about not being able to cuddle? you’re not like that anyways so why are you mad?” she told him, moving her face close to his so he’d pay attention to her now instead of the movie she wanted them to both focus on a good minute ago. she leaned in and pressed a quick peck on his pouted lip, “you really don’t wanna have sex anymore? ever again?”
he can't believe that's what had offended her . if he were taking bets , he would have had all his money on the angelina jolie thing . but whatever . he's trying not to smirk as he leans back , moving away as she leans close to him . ' you said you didn't want me to touch you , ' he points out graciously ( smarmy ) . ' so i'm not going to touch you . what the lady wants , the lady gets . ' nate wrinkles his nose as she leans in , kisses him . oh , so she's mad mad about the no sex thing , huh ? touching her waist with one hand , he purses his lips , considering her . ' depends . have you bought new underwear yet ? i refuse to fuck you if you're wearing the purple ones . a man has to have standards and taste . '
riley just doesn’t get it. she doesn’t get why parties are important enough that you need to dress up for them, she doesn’t get why she’s forced to attend them when she has a mountain of homework to attend to, and she doesn’t understand why this damn zipper won’t go up. she’s spent the past two minutes trying to tug on the zipper of lindsey’s dress that she’d been loaned, not necessarily by choice. nate’s deep voice startles her for a moment, causing riley to gasp quietly and glance at him over her shoulder. “ maybe if you help me put it on first ? ” the brunette moves toward the bed, standing next to where he’s laying. no matter how cool she tries to play things, there’s no hiding the bashful smile on her lips or the way her cheeks turn rosy at any of his compliments. their relationship when they’re together is entirely different from their relationship in front of others, and she much prefers the private one. she’d take his kisses over his insults any day. riley turns so her back is facing him – partially so he can zipper her dress, partially so he can’t see her reaction to his less than appropriate comment.
to watch her struggle with the zipper of lindsey's dress was almost amusing . he remembered when he'd first seen lindsey wear it . how it had taken his breath away for a moment . he's finding it particularly hard to breathe at the moment . because the sight of riley in it is distracting . lindsey couldn't hold a candle to the beauty standing in front of him . she's ethereal , that innocent way of hers still just as captivating as it had been the first time he had laid eyes upon her . and he could lay there and stare at her all night . ( but he refuses to let himself . ) instead , allows his fingers to reach out and touch her skin , fingers warm . they skim down her spine , towards the dip of the dress and the beginning of the zipper . nate hums , considering . it would be so easy to get her out of this dress . to let the fabric pool at her feet and to draw her into his arms . he barely resists his baser instincts but manages to temper them by leaning up , pressing a kiss to the spot right above the zipper . another . and another . he kisses up her back slowly , sucks a hickey into the base of her neck - above where the zipper finishes . now that she's zipped up , he touches her waist , dropping a kiss to her shoulder . ' you look beautiful , riles , ' and the warmth in his voice is ... oddly soft . ' come here . tell me about your day . what joke do you have for me today , you intellectual badass ? '
“oh my god, get off,” she said calmly, yet the annoyance was thick in her tone as she pushed nate away from her and she stood up from the couch. “you need to stop being needy, i know i’m like, really hot, and have an amazing vagina but this is seriously ridiculous nate, we broke up you can’t just be all over me like this for fun,” she lectured him, wondering if he was even going to pay attention to what she was saying, or if he was but he would just ignore it and do what he wants anyways, because that’s how he usually was. “can we just sit and watch a movie like normal people? or is that not possible?”
nate shifts , a brief look of hurt crossing over his handsome features before he leans back - lacing his hands behind his head . it's a gesture of apology . and also one that lets her know that he's received the message . he gets it . he'd been just a little too needy . but it wasn't often that he could let his guard down . and to hear lindsey inflate her ego like that ... it makes him chew on the inside of his cheek . ' no problem , linds . i'll keep my hands to myself from now on . that means no sex though , ' he's dismissive as he turns up the volume of the movie , a pout on his lips . ' would you mind shutting up and moving out of the way of the screen ? your amazing , hot body is blocking my view of the more amazing , even hotter angelina jolie . '
it was starting to sink in . pierce his thick skull that maybe all of this erebus business wasn't a joke . he's introspective for once . lounging on riley's bed in a pair of sweatpants , hair artfully ( at least , he likes to claim ) ruffled . there's a notebook in front of him . one of riley's cute computer jokes scrawled in her neat ( and unpretentious ) penmanship . and he's watching her . dark eyes not quite lustful , not quite focused either . what would he do if she were taken ? if any of them were taken ? he's too much of a coward to want to know . ' you look cute in that dress . can i take it off of you ? ' / @riileys !
﹤𝙾𝙷 𝚂𝙴𝙷𝚄𝙽 , 𝙷𝙴 / 𝙷𝙸𝙼 , 𝙲𝙸𝚂 𝙼𝙰𝙻𝙴﹥; * - hello nate wu. long time no see. i know a lot about you. like how you're twenty-three, how you're a business/film double major, and in fact.. how you threw a party where your co-star and best friend overdosed but you never called the police , which would ruin your career . would be a shame if it got out, wouldn't it ? so let's play a game. 𝚃𝚁𝚄𝚃𝙷 𝙾𝚁 𝙳𝙰𝚁𝙴 ?
hi , it's dani ... back again and tell a friend . hopefully this muse won't be a flop . i have him more fleshed out than i did bee so maybe … just maybe , this is going to go well . anyways , below the cut you can find more info about him . i have his pinterest here and that has a lot of fancy black and white inspiration .
but anyways … so first off , nate is a recycled muse . but i’ve never played him like this before so i’m really excited .
so nate was born to like … two extremely loving parents . like ?? they adored him . but it was only because he was the cutest baby in the whole world . his mother was a famous actress and she kinda ?? resented giving birth . especially since she was at the peak of her career . and to give birth to her first child while she was in her early twenties essentially led her career to a plateau . and his father is the heir to a conglomerate that spans back three generations –make-up and clothing primarily . but anyways , their marriage was honestly … just because mi-seon ended up knocked up … yikes …
and when nate was born ?? his parents were hopeful . they were like … wow , maybe we can get back to our normal lives … get a divorce . but nate’s grandparents wouldn’t allow it . so mi-seon , nate’s mother , kinda threw herself into mothering him . and she decided that the best way to do that and revamp her career would be to take him with her .
of course , his father – sun – woo – was more than a little hesitant about that idea . because a. ) he’s a misogynistic pig and because of that , he thought that obviously … he should be training his son to be a mini version of himself . but after one screaming match where mi – seon ( not so tactfully ) pointed out that he had been having an affair with his assistant and that she could go to the press with that knowledge , it was determined that nate could go with his mother and establish an acting career .
i won’t bore you with the details . but basically … nate ended up snagging the role of a lifetime . as a comparison , think of it as like … an almost harry potter like role . where he’d age with the character and grow at the same time . but the only problem with that was … his father was furious . because his son’s acting was only supposed to be a phase . however , it managed to help completely relaunch his mother’s career and start his .
for the most part , nate really fucking loved filming the movies . he was a cute kid and he knew it . and he loved being told that he was cute . so, to have people stare at him whenever he was in a room … phew , he has a big ass head . he was a natural too . there was something about being on camera , about pretending … it came as easy as breathing . ( which has transferred over today – nate makes it through his life by pretending and it’s … sad . because it means that he’s never really formed emotional connections aside from his parents . )
but anyways , sun – woo was not pleased . his son was starting to take way too much after his mother . and he would constantly berate him about his masculinity and belittle him whenever he saw him . and nate is a TOTAL mama’s boy . like he loves his mother . thinks she’s the most beautiful woman in the world . and to have to come home and listen to his parents fight while being unable to divorce … w as the absolute worst .
so as he got older …. well , nate found … a lot of reasons to stop coming home . with filming in a different location , he was able to convince his parents that he was able to take care of himself . and that’s what he did . as a result , nate is very neat and tidy because he spent like five years alone . and because he was alone , nate started to act out .
he was in those trashy tabloids every other week with a new girl on his arm . and it was ?? because he really couldn’t sleep alone . and he didn’t want to sleep alone . plus , all of the emotional abuse from his dad had started to take a toll and he ... was trying to prove that he was EXTRA masculine . and he’s still convinced that he ain’t shit … but that’s a story for another time . but because of the fact that he had all these issues going on at home ( his father still cheating on his mother and his mother … literally kinda just taking it – which he hated ) , he loved to go out and party .
and it was at one of these parties that shit went deeply wrong . anyways , nate is a coward . and after hosting a party where everyone had access to so many drugs and everything … he found his best friend passed out in the bathroom . but since they were all seventeen and underaged , he was really scared that he’d get in trouble … so he just … didn’t do anything . luckily , his friend survived because someone else called the police and got an ambulance to the place . but his parents got furious when they found out about the party . like absolutely furious . and they told him that he had to get his act together .
but … he didn’t . he kinda just spiraled deeper into like ?? this depression that was overwhelming . like ?? he couldn’t believe that he was that shitty . but he also could . because that’s what he’d been hearing for the longest time . but finally … when he was nineteen , his dad made him come back to the states .
nate had been blowing through some money . and his dad threatened to cut him off unless he went to college and got a business degree . ( nate had his own money but his mother begged him to do it and he’s a little bitch for his mom . even though he doesn’t know why she stays with his dad . ) so nate came back and enrolled in uva . and that’s where he’s been this whole time .
anyways … personality wise … he’s pretty loyal and he loves ?? to seduce people . but he can’t commit because he doesn’t want to be like his father . he’s that bitch who knows the differences between wine flavors . he’s like … mhmmm this tastes earthy … like he can actually tell . but he’s also an asshole . as j described him , he wears turtle necks and talks about french films and will gaslight u but the dick was good ig .he’s bi as fuck . also kind of a sad boy tm . but he tries to play it off as being a bad boy tm . he just comes off as a dick though .
