"You're not used to gettin' told no, are you?" He asked playfully, carefully turning his head to see if he could see her. He placed a hand over hers and patted it lightly. "I don't have any expectations, Trixie. I learned the hard way that they're worthless."

She nuzzled her cheek against his spine. "Then let go, Nate. Stop worryin' so much about what's right and just do what feels good."

Maybe Trixie had a point. He needed to stop worrying so much, he knew that -- but he still couldn't shake the nervous feeling in the pit of his stomach. He hand ran slowly over hers as he tried to sort through his thoughts. "I... I don't know."

"'s okay. It's okay not to know. Like I said...just feel." She held him just a little tighter, pressing herself against his back.

"I'm trying." He stood there in silence, his hand slowly sliding away from her hand to work its way across her arm. "It's getting late... I should go."

She didn't let him go or move away. "Who says?" She pressed her fingers against his abs, rubbing a little.

He swallowed hard, grateful that his back was to her so she couldn't currently see the look on his face. "Who... who says it's late? Or who says I should go?" he asked, trying not to let the shakiness in his voice show.

"Who says you should go. No one said you had to do anything, Nate." She kissed the back of his shoulder lightly.

"No, no one said I had to do anything," he agreed. Slowly, he pulled his hand away from her arm. "But I've got a long day of work in the morning... Gotta be well-rested. One mistake and I could be out of a job." Was he making excuses? Possibly, but he just couldn't shake the feeling of uneasieness, no matter how hard he tried.

She sighed and pulled away from him entirely. She turned her back to him, moving to gather the bedding she'd come up for in the first place. "Fine."

Good job, Nate, way to choke... he thought to himself before leaning down to open the hatch.
"I... I guess I'll see you around," he said before quietly making his way down from the attic.

She gave him a vague kind of wave. "Mhm, sure." Then she sighed, waited long enough for him to be gone, then left the attic and went to bed.
