Disclaimer: I do not own Leverage nor am I making any money off of this.
Pairing: Nate/Parker
A/N: Well I have this story planned out and I hope it turns out as good as I hope and I also decided to post it a little earlier than I had planned because I kinda want to know what you guys think. Just a warning before you start reading that it may start out all happy but will definitely not end up that way no matter how much I wish I could write a happy ending, but who knows maybe I'll kinda have one. Also I got the idea from a song I've been listening to and so I don't give anything away at the beginning I'm going to wait until the end to reveal the song.
"God I love you," Nate said as he looked down at the woman in his arms loving the way she just fit perfectly against him with a huge smile on his face. "This has been one of the best years of my life and I can't wait for the many others to begin."
Even though Nate and Parker have been dating for a year now, the thief still found herself blushing at some of the things he said to her because she still couldn't believe sometimes that the man she has loved for such a long time felt the same exact way. "I love you too Nate," Parker said as she leaned up to give him a kiss, but was cut short due to Hardison's arrival.
"Uh-hem. I may have finally gotten used to the idea of you two dating but that does not mean I want to see any PDA coming from you two….ever. Just saying," Hardison informed them as he made his way over to his laptop in the living room.
"PDA? I don't have a PDA do you Nate?" Parker asked clearly confused as she looked at Nate to see if he had a PDA out and was messing with it.
"Seriously?" Hardison stated.
"Haha, not a Personal Digital Assistant Parker but Public Displays of Affection… like kissing. Although I will add that technically we weren't in public Hardison. Just saying," Nate stated with a little smirk directed towards Hardison.
"Oh well that makes since then," Parker agreed shaking head her.
"Yeah well still too public for me anyways. Just saying," Hardison told Nate.
He just rolled his eyes and went to go sit on the couch. "Nice to see you by the way Hardison," Nate said in a way that clearly said that he wished the geek wasn't there.
"Don't use that tone with me mister cause I ain't gonna take it; you know I have to put the finishing touches on the job we just completed, which, if I may say, totally rocked. I don't wanna brag but ya'll would have been totally lost without me, I just wanted to remind you so maybe I could get a little more appreciation. That's all this man asks for is just a little more appreciation for what ya'll ask me to do cause it ain't no walk in the park. Just saying," Hardison claimed rambling on about how no one around there appreciates him the way that he feels he should be.
"Yeah I'll take that into consideration Hardison," Nate said so the man would stop his ramblings and maybe leave a little quicker so he and Parker could spend some more quality time together because the previous job took way longer than expected which didn't leave much time for them to spend together.
"So what are we doing tomorrow night Nate?" Parker asked with a bowl of cereal in hand.
"How did you…I didn't even see you get off the couch," he stated when he realized that Parker got up to get some cereal and came back without him even realizing it, "Anyway…I'm not quite sure yet but don't worry I'll think of something."
"I have complete trust in you plus I'm a thief remember. I move like a ninja," she replied matter of factly.
"Yeah I guess or I'm losing my touch," Nate said shaking his head.
"Oh you are most definitely not losing your touch. Not after last night," Parker smiled to herself remembering how wonderful last night was with Nate.
"I can't believe ya'll just said that. I am right here in case you've forgotten and I'm going to have nightmares tonight thank you very much. I do not need or want to know what ya'll did but I would highly appreciate it if ya'll did not talk like that when I'm here cause trust me no one, no one, wants to hear about ya'lls night life," Hardison stressed.
"Don't you mean sex life?" Parker asked innocently.
"Oh dear Jesus. I'm glad I'm almost through and can go so I can try to get these horrible mental pictures outta my head. Maybe I can have Eliot knock me out and I'll forget about this whole conversation," Hardison was saying more to himself than to them; Nate was just laughing because he loved to mess around with Hardison, it was just too easy and always worth it.
"I can tase you if you want because I haven't been able to tase anyone in awhile. Eliot told me the next time I tased him that I would regret it," Parker said disappointed.
"No you can't tase me Parker. I'll just have a few drinks or something," he told her sternly so she didn't get the idea that it would be okay to tase him as he returned to what he was doing so he could get out of there quicker.
"Done, finally! Well it's been nice but I'm sorry I've got some other more exciting things to do than hang here with you two while ya'll talk about things I don't ever want to hear again," Hardison said about thirty minutes later heading for the door not even waiting for their goodbyes because all he wanted was to leave before they started to make out or something because he was pretty sure he saw a pretty lustful look in Nate's eyes.
"About time. Alone again at last," Nate said gratefully as he leaned over and captured Parker's lips in a passionate kiss. Parker began to lean back on the couch with Nate following on top of her, but broke the kiss a minute or so later to look at her; she was so incredibly beautiful and knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
"What?" Parker asked quietly because Nate was just smiling at her.
"I love you," he simply replied.
She smiled, "How much?"
"More than life itself and more than you will ever know. I love you Parker will all my heart and soul and always will for forever and a day," Nate replied as he leaned down again to begin kissing her neck.
"Hmm. That's quite a while. Do you think you can put up with me for that long?" Parker asked loving the way his lips felt on her neck.
"Oh I'm quite sure," he whispered in her ear huskily.
"Promise me you'll always be here for me," she said shivering at the way his breath hit her neck.
"I promise that I will be here with you forever. I'm not going anywhere," Nate responded as he moved so she could feel how sure he was of how he felt for her; she just smiled and began to pull his shirt off and found herself succumbing to Nate's affections completely trusting him, but it wasn't long before they were yet again interrupted.
"I know right? I can't believe the guy actually had the nerve to hit on me with you right there beside me. I mean we could have been dating. I swear the nerve of some of these men nowadays," Sophie told Eliot as they walked in but saw Nate and Parker on the couch, "Oh my God. I apologize, we should have knocked but we just assumed that you wouldn't be getting so personal on the company couch."
Nate got off of Parker and helped her up then reached over for his shirt to put it back on, "It's fine Sophie, but what are you two doing here? Hardison already came and finished everything up."
"Um it's movie night remember?" Eliot said holding up two movies.
"Oh yeah how could I forget?" Nate asked a little irritated.
"No need to get irritable Nate. It is a tradition we have held ever since our first completed job and we are not about to break it just so you can get some," Sophie stated pulling her phone out to call Hardison up; Parker just laughed at Nate's face but tried to hold it back when he glanced over at her with a look of frustration.
'Well at least we are guaranteed alone time tomorrow night,' he thought to himself as he remembered his and Parker's one year anniversary and began to smile.
"So is Hardison coming back?" Parker asked Sophie as she hung up with him.
"Only if you two promise not to make out during the movie," she smiled causing Parker to laugh.
"Seriously the guy needs to get a grip or just get laid," Eliot put in as he headed to the kitchen to start making some popcorn.
Twenty minutes later found the whole Leverage team on the couch to 'continue on tradition' as Sophie put it, but by the time the movies were over it was past one in the morning and Nate was starting to regret ever starting the tradition up because, even though he usually enjoys it, all he could think about the whole time was Parker and him getting back to what they were doing before everyone came over but knew now that that probably wasn't going to happen because Parker was looking quite tired.
"Um next time Eliot do you think you could pick two movies that are shorter than two and half hours each?" Nate asked.
"They were perfectly good movies," Eliot argued.
"Yeah but maybe not back to back," Nate said grumpily.
"Oh don't worry about him Eliot. Nate is just upset that we ruined his time with Parker," Sophie pointed out causing Nate to give her a stern look.
"Well as riveting as this all is, I bid you all ado and I will see ya later. Peace," Hardison replied as he gathered his things and left to a chorus of goodbyes.
"Yeah well I suppose I'll leave too. Do you need a ride home Sophie?" Eliot offered.
"Yes thank you Eliot. Well bye you two," Sophie said following Eliot out the door.
"Bye guys," Parker replied while Nate just waved, "Well that was nice," she got out before a huge yawn stopped her from continuing.
Nate looked over at her smiling, "Yeah it was. Well are you staying here or going to your place?"
"Oh I'm definitely staying," she informed him as she began to climb the stairs to Nate's room.
"You don't know how happy that makes me," he said as he went up the stairs following her to his room.
"I can't wait until tomorrow," she told him as she climbed into bed waiting for him to join her.
"Neither can I," Nate replied as he stripped down to his boxers then climbed into bed wrapping his arms around her giving her a kiss goodnight.
"Night. I love you," she told him as she closed her eyes feeling completely safe knowing Nate wouldn't ever let anything happen to her.
"Night beautiful. I love you so much," he responded falling into a peaceful sleep with the woman he loved in his arms.
