[ There's a lot that's still simmering uncomfortably under the surface, things he should say or offhandedly mention just so he can feel like the air is cleared, but maybe it was never really muddied and fraught to begin with, and he's just shit at reading this man more than he thought he was. Needs more time to learn, or absorb, and what better place to do that than right in front of him?
Nate's fingers curl into the hair at the base of Ian's neck and he meets him there, soft pressure and a sigh of relief into the space between them. A pressure valve twisting, releasing.
He's been thinking about this. Hard not to with the way things are set up here, no goddamn privacy for miles and individual shelters only for couples who are well-established within the community, everybody else hot racking out bunks like they're the fresh fish on the submarine. They barely get more than the allotted three minutes in the shower together, let alone opportunities for intimacy, and Nate isn't so prudish as to not take advantage of a shadowy corner when he finds it.
So he presses in a little more intently, parts his lips, asks for more. Wonders how pathetically needy he'd sound if he said he missed him today. ]
