"Why are you still up?" You know, despite his size, trying to make Nathan out in the darkness of the kitchen is not as easy as it would seem. All I wanted was a snack, and now I have a whole feast of brooding to deal with...
"Does it matter?" Hmm. Nate, are you being philosophical?
"..."
"I couldn't sleep, ok?"
" Hey, don't get all bratty with me. I was just asking," Man, he sounds more like me everyday... Poor guy.
"I needed to think. Sorry,"
"It's ok. Anything you need to get off your chest?" I know that he can come up with a smart little quip about the old days, and at this point I wish he would. No verbal sparring make me a very nervous person around him.
"Do you think I'd make a good father?" Whoa.
"Uh..."
"I mean, the whole Tyler thing aside...Do you?" Hmm.. this is NOT the LAST thing I thought we'd talk about. but definitely close. Last thing would have been Nate asking me how to shoot a gun. I better make this good...
"I...I guess...I just hadn't thought about it, Nate," Oh, REALLY smooth, Dom.
"Well...I guess I just wanted to know what you thought. I'm going back to bed,"
"..." Great, a perfect opportunity for some bondage...er...bonding. Oops...and you are gonna let him go back to bed.
"Nate?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm not gonna ask what brought this on. But, yeah, I think you'd be a great dad," And it's true. He would be the best father. Whoever got to carry his child had better be grateful...and have a high pain tolerance. The kid would be a fighter. Just like his dad.
