Jason hadn't returned to the bedroom, and Nathaniel had fallen asleep in Jason's bed waiting for him through the afternoon.

His hair was loose, spread across the white sheets. He's been asleep from mid-afternoon, pleasantly dreaming, sleeping alone for the first time in quite a while.

A small step, he would say, but a step nevertheless.

Asher is alone when he awakes - not unheard of, but of course the first thing he does after dressing is go in search of Nathaniel. The gift he commissioned from Teja is burning a hole in his pocket, and he's eager to see Nathaniel's reaction. His intent was to wait for an occasion suitable, but Asher grows impatient - not something he had expected, but Nathaniel makes him feel closer to human than he has in centuries.
