( the same can be said for natee, can't it? that at some point, whenever that may be, he'll be fine. for now, in this moment and these past few days, he isn't and hasn't been, but. one day, he will be. that's just how it goes. especially for people like them.
when the embrace suddenly comes, tight as it is, nate is left both stunned and speechless and just accepts it as those arms wind fierce around him. trapped within muscle and against the warmth of a man he cares for dearly. it nearly shatters some part of him to feel even through this mental moment here between them and he's silent for a long stretch as he just remains there. against steve. having fallen to one knee.
with hands still touching at the other man's elbows, he blinks those blue eyes of his a couple times and looks past them to their apartment windows there nearby. it's only after a moment that he presses the palm of his hand against the other man's back. a gentle and soft touch. )
