Karson woke up the next morning, but only because he had gotten enough sleep. The room was quiet except for Nathaniel's breathing and Cocktail's occasional purr or mewl. He scanned the room for any sign of trouble or tampering, but there was nothing. He had actually gotten a good night's sleep and nothing had gone wrong. It felt strange, but also fantastic. He sighed softly and started to climb out of the bed. He walked to the window and peaked out. Nothing suspicious.
Nathaniel rolled over in the bed. He moaned lightly with slight discomfort. He'd felt the movement when Karson had gotten off his bed but he didn't want to be up yet. He was still slightly sleepy when he looked up and saw Karson's bare butt. He smiled lazily at the firm curves of the man's body and in a sleepy, subconscious drawl, he said. "Mm, what a cute arse." he said then cuddled slightly still looking at it before he felt his eyes fall closed again.
Karson raised and eyebrow and looked back over his shoulder at the man still on the bed. A slight smile came to his lips and he shook his head. He looked back out the window for a moment more then stepped away from it and walked toward the bathroom. He didn't bother forcing Nathaniel awake. He brought out the new toothbrush he bought, along with the toothpaste, and brushed his teeth. That done he went about cleaning his face and then fixing his hair. He still didn't dress, however. He liked the freedom.
Nathaniel stirred again, his head heavy as his sleep slowly eased away. He was determined to sleep forever but his body was acting silly and like it was against him. He was about to open his eyes, the image of greeting Karson with a lazy sleepy smile burning behind his lids when he remembered where they were and the place they were sleeping and that Karson possibly hated him. He sat up quickly, startling Cocktail who meowed loudly before jumping off the bed. "I need a shower." He shivered. As he jumped out of the bed, he only briefly glanced the naked man as he rushed into the bathroom.
Karson frowned as Nathaniel rushed past him and jumped into the shower. "Hey, you alright?" he called, concern thick in his voice. He would have expected a little more than a glance after the comment on his arse, but instead Nathaniel was freaking out about needing a shower. "You know the sheets aren't that bad, right? Those are just rumors. The sheets get cleaned and changed. You're going to be just fine." He walked over and peaked into the shower at the man.
Nathaniel frowned, feeling guilty for his weirdness. He knew Karson was probably right. He was the field agent. He probably spent a lot of time in these places but how many people had he or some other agent killed in these places? He just didn’t know. Even so, he took a deep breath and turned to Karson, smiling sheepishly. “I know, you’re right,” he said over the rush of the water. “But...I just...I promise, I’ll be quick.” He bit his lip and looked with wide, hopeful eyes at the man.
A soft smile spread onto Karson's lips. He stepped into the shower and carefully took the man into his arms. "Take a deep breath and calm down at the very least," he said. He had pretty much pulled Nathaniel out of the water now and their side of the shower was quite cool. He shivered slightly. "You're safe. Not even the minuscule germs on that bed are going to hurt you," he told the man, a smile still on his mouth. He now pushed the man back into the water gently. "Be quick. We've got a long day ahead of us." He stepped back out of the shower.
Nathaniel held his breath as the man stepped into the shower and pulled him into a hug. He did as was instructed but it wasn’t the breathing that helped relax him, it was the hug. He bit his lip, and tried not to sigh with pleasure. He even held back his distress when the man released him. Before Karson could step away, and before he knew what he was doing, he grabbed a hold of Karson’s wrist. He looked at the man in front of him, desperate to say something significant but because he didn’t know what he wanted from the naked man, his words failed him. He dropped Karson’s hand. He didn’t want to put pressure on him, though he wouldn’t have minded a quick romp between them.
Karson gave the other man a half-hearted smile. "I'm sorry," he practically whispered, "We really do have to get going. I promised I wouldn't let anything hurt you and my chances of keeping that promise lessen with every second we're still here. We've got to move on as soon as possible." He reached up and gave the man's bicep a squeeze before he really exited the shower. He got himself into some of the new clothes that he bought, though he found that he really wanted to just stay naked. He whipped up a bit of breakfast from what he had bought then he put down some food for Cocktail as well.
Nathaniel bit his lip as Karson spoke and nodded quickly. He didn't want to disappoint the man but he was feeling quite down himself. Karson had been so...so friendly it was disturbing him. He soaped and rinsed himself quickly, stepping out of the shower immediately he was done. He wiped himself down and wrapped himself in a towel before entering the main room. He was too nervous to do anything but concentrate on his task. He got dressed and started to pack up the equipment they had.
"Breakfast for you," Karson said and pointed to the food. He started to help with the packing, putting everything into as few bags as he could. This was going to be a long trip, a very long trip. He sighed softly under his breath and closed his eyes for a moment. He could feel his heart racing despite his relative calm on the outside. He wanted this to be all over. He didn't want to deal with this life anymore. He had a feeling he wasn't going to be continuing this business after this quest.
“Oh,” Nathaniel said surprised by Karson’s actions. He hadn’t been expecting breakfast. He went over to the food and sat down eating it quietly but quickly. When Cocktail came up to him, he smiled softly and pat the cat gently. He couldn’t help but appreciate the way Karson had taken care of her to the point that he was a little jealous of the creature. He watched the man discreetly as he ate wondering what would happen to the two of them once they were done with this mission and his heart broke a little.
Karson had their things packed and next to the door in only a matter of minutes. "So, who's driving?" he asked, not being able to remember if they had already decided or not. "We're going to keep going in the same direction. In a matter of three days we should reach our destination. It's my safe house. Even my own agency doesn't know about it and it's literally in the middle of no where. We should be safe there for a while, and it's stocked, so we'll be able to defend ourselves and stay alive for some time. Alright?"
Nathaniel had barely swallowed his food when Karson spoke. He almost choked trying to answer the man. He cleared his throat with slight confusion. “You’re um...you’re taking me to your house?” he said unsurely and immediately wished he had kept his mouth shut. He shook his head quickly and stood up clumsily wiping his hands against his jeans. “That’s...that’s alright. If we’re safe it’s good.” He bit his lip. “Um, you can drive while I try to do the computer stuff if that’s alright too.”
"Safe house. I don't really have a house that I live in on a regular basis. This is my just in case location. I bought it and love it but never really get a chance to visit. I'm a traveling man. So, don't worry. It's not exactly full of my personal affects. It's furnished and that's about it. I can't remember if my photos are there or not at this point," Karson said with a shrug of his shoulders. He nodded his head a moment later. "And yeah, I'll drive. That's totally fine. Just let me know if you find anything on that computer of yours."
Nathaniel felt like slapping himself. He didn't know why he had been stupid enough to ask that question and blatantly embarrass himself by being so hopeful. He swallowed gently and nodded. "Okay. Safe house it is." He nodded again unnecessarily and started putting the last of his stuff together. "Of course I'll tell you if I find anything. Our mission right?" he asked gently. He didn't want to face the man. His face was hot with embarrassment and probably a little sweaty despite his shower.
Karson frowned a little bit as he noticed the shift in Nathaniel's demeanor. He didn't understand. One moment Nathaniel was sounding unsure about going to Karson's house. The next moment Nathaniel was upset that it was only a safe house. He sighed softly and walked over to the other man. He touched his shoulder gently. "Nathaniel," he said softly, "What do you want from me? I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out right now and you're not making it easier. Honestly, what is it that you want from me? Us? This mission? I don't know. Tell me something, anything."
Nathaniel was surprised when Karson appeared beside him and touched him. His insides did somersaults when he heard Karson's line of questioning. He didn't know what to tell the man. He was afraid he would be blatantly rejected especially after the way the man had retreated from him after they had had sex. He shook his head and removed Karson's hand from his shoulder. "I'm sorry for being...weird." He said taking in a deep breath. "You gave me a night and I should appreciate that, and I do. I want a whole lot from you that I'm sure you're not willing to give so I want us to get this mission done and I won't disturb you again. Is that okay?" he asked softly. He wasn't going to cause the man anymore trouble. He was determined to act more mature about everything.
"No. No that's actually not ok at all. Don't give me some little bitch of an answer. Tell me what you want or tell me what you don't want, but do not give me all this bullshit. How the hell do you know I'm not willing to give it if you're too damn scared to ask it in the first place? You hiding things is what got us into position originally so if you're just going to keep doing that we're absolutely not going to be able to heal from this. So, you can man up, or otherwise yes, please don't disturb me so that I can just focus on my work," Karson said, all in an exasperated growl. All he wanted was to know, to know what it was that Nathaniel even wanted. He felt he hardly knew the man. He needed to know for both the mission and for their personal relationship. He needed to heal so that he could either move on or try to make this into something worth while.
Nathaniel sighed. He didn’t understand why the man was getting annoyed when he thought he was trying to spare his feelings. He thought by stepping away and giving the man space it would be the right thing to do but it seemed he only served to piss him off further. He sighed again. “I want you but I hurt you and last night you basically walked away from me after we had sex. I assume you don’t want me anymore, so I’m trying to be sensitive to your needs and not crowd you. I was excited when I thought you were taking me to your home because I thought you were willing to open up to me again but it’s just a safe house, so I assume that you don’t want me anywhere near you. I’m just trying to respect you Karson. What else do you want from me? I’m trying here.”
"I didn't walk out of the damn room after I fucked you. I walked to the bed, where you also slept. Yes, I need time to process, but I don't need you acting like it's all my fault or something. You lied to me. You can't expect me to be completely ok instantly. I'm working on it. I'm trying to figure out who you even are. I've got to learn all over again while I'm already attracted to you. It's confusing and painful. Just, don't act so strange. You brought this on yourself," Karson said. He turned away and packed the last of their things up. He wasn't in the mood to deal with this anymore. He wanted to get back to the task at hand.
