It is a content - yet still rather wary - Asher who enters the Bar this evening.

He looks around for Anita or Jean Claude, relaxing a little when he spots neither. The lack of wereleopards is less pleasing, though something he's willing to tolerate. Gaining a book and a glass of synthetic blood from Bar (He can feed off Nathaniel, amongst others, but there are other things he would prefer to do to his cat first, and those require blood), he takes a seat in the shadowed corner, curling up in a booth, gently toeing off his soft leather boots, bare toes tucked under the edge of a cushion.

Nathaniel wraps his arms around Asher's neck and rests there, crying softly, squeezing his eyes tight when Asher says those words. It takes him a little while, with Asher's petting and presence, before he calms down, becoming a limp, snuffling mess in Asher's arms.

"Not even my Dad said that to me," he whispers finally, fingering tangling in Asher's beautiful hair. "I love you, too."

Asher kisses Nathaniel's temple, his cheek, the tip of his nose, wiping away the remnants of tears on his lover's face, pulling out a silk handkerchief for Nathaniel to clean himself up a little.

"Come, let us go to bed," Asher murmurs. "I wish to hold you, without being wary of Security." Just lying together, holding each other, will soothe them both far more than hours of sitting together on the couch. Asher wants skin against his, wants to not have to worry about Security, or Anita, or any of the other myriad things that threaten their oh-so-fragile relationship.

Nathaniel nods, using the handkerchief to wipe away his tears.

"I was sleeping with Moon and Jason, but then I was sick, and Moon doesn't really understand it. I didn't want her waking Jason, so I left."

Which meant, Anita thinks he's with Jason. They could spend the night and day together, if Asher wants.

"I like laying with you. It's soothing to feel you close."

They didn't have to have sex, but just having his nude body against Asher's calmed him in ways there were no description for.

"I'd like to go to bed," he sniffs, looking up at Asher.

Asher smiles a little, the thought of having Nathaniel to himself all night, in his room, filling him with warmth.

"For me, too," Asher murmurs. "I love your skin against mine, mon chat." He strokes Nathaniel's face with the backs of his fingers, letting his arm slowly slide away from around Nat's waist, coaxing him to stand so that they can move.

Nathaniel gets on shaky legs and picks up his Gatorade.

He gets an amused smile, wiping once more at his nose.

"I like that you touch me so much. Don't stop doing it?" he asks as he steps back so Asher can stand too.

Asher stands, immediately twining his fingers with Nathaniel's, tugging him gently towards the stairs.

"Never, I promise," he murmurs softly, kissing Nathaniel in the doorway, before leading him upstairs, towards his room and comfort for them both.
