This is my original Uncharted idea that I came up with and my first. It took me a long time to get the courage to post but finally I said F it and just did it. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it! :)

Nate had known Victor Sullivan for mostly his entire life; raising him like he was his own since he was fifteen. Never once in all that time had he ever seen Sully act the way he was now.

"Hey Sully, why don't you take a seat. You're starting to make me nervous."

He'd tried to sound teasing but when Sully didn't respond Nate's features further creased in worry.

They'd been sitting out here for the past half hour waiting for Sully's supposed added partner to arrive. Nate was still feeling hesitant, if not a little sour, about him bringing in somebody at all. They had argued for what felt like an eternity, or more like Nate bitched, about how they didn't need any other partners on this new gig. It was a simple easy in, easy out kind of job. Why Sully even had to bring in some other guy was beyond him. The guy was no doubt just wanting to tag along for the ride hoping that they were going to stumble across something as sweet as El Dorado.

Sulking down even further into the bench he crossed his arms, not even worried about the fact that he couldn't feel his ass anymore.

"Would you stop making that face kid," Sully snapped, "You look like you've been sucking on a damn lemon."

Off in the distance a light humming began, seemingly becoming louder as it drew closer to the airport.

What are the chances it could be a plane? Nate thought, laughing to himself.

Sure enough a small passenger plane landed onto the strip and Sully damn near had an aneurysm. He was now moving from foot to foot and every few seconds shook his hands out at his sides. At least he had finally stopped pacing.

The pilot quickly exited the aircraft and for some reason, Nate found amusingly, he was hauling ass to get to the passenger's side door. Maybe this guy was some rich old geezer but he doubted it. Sully wasn't really much for hanging out with guys his own age. Come to think of it ever since Nate had been with Sully, he'd never really seen the older man ever hang out with anyone but him.

Peering over at the plane he caught a glimpse of feet hitting the ground.

"Here we go," he mumbled too himself.

He moved quickly off of the bench hissing and rubbing his ass as he tried to get the awkward tingling sensation to vanish. Hand still glued to his ass Nate froze as Sully's so-called partner came around the side of the plane.

"Son…of..a…bitch."

He watched in shock as the girl adjusted her messenger bag as she took the duffle with a smile from the love struck pilot, apparently not even noticing the effect she had on the poor guy. The minute that she turned and saw Sully she immediately dropped her bag and started sprinting towards him.

"Sully!" she shouted.

Letting out a laugh of pure joy Sully rushed forward to greet her; taking the forceful impact of her hug like a champ, a small, "umph," escaping him but was quickly dispersed as he laughed into her shoulder.

"Goddamn Abbie Williams! How are yeah, kid?"

Reluctantly the two pulled apart and Nate moved swiftly forward smiling from ear to ear like a fool. Once he was close enough he tried to give her a sneaky once over. She was about 5'6 with what he thought was an athletic build but on further inspection quickly dismissed it as he noticed the way her ripped denim jeans fit snugly against the curve of her hips. Her wavy chestnut hair fell loosely across the shoulders of her baseball tee; her blue eyes sparkling as she looked from Sully to him.

Sully was aware that Nate had gradually joined them and turning gave him an expectant look when he noticed the kid still had his hand on his ass acting like his own private masseuse. As quietly as he could he whispered to him, "Get your hand outta your ass, kid."

Laughing nervously Nate quickly did as he was told and without thinking stuck the exact same hand out to her. Playfully she eyed his hand and then him, a small smirk curling her cupid bow lips. When it finally clicked in his head what he'd done he switched hands fast shaking his head down at the pavement in embarrassment.

"I'm Nate. Nathan Drake."

She placed her small hand in his and shook it firmly.

"Abbie 'Goddamn'," she said, her voice mimicking Sully's, "Williams."

He pointed back towards the bleachers that were littered across the airport and tried for cool.

"Rough seating."

Abbie gave him a teasing look but in the end decided to roll with it.

"Maybe bring some pillows next time? Unless, you know, you enjoy rubbing your own ass."

Cocking his eyebrow he briefly glanced at Sully before giving Abbie a wide grin.

"Well it is a fine ass, if I do say so myself."

She casually shrugged.

"That's open to interpretation."

"Alright, alright enough with the ass talk. You're both making me miss mine," Sully cut in as he bent down, grabbing her duffel.

"What are you talking about Sully? You still have a great ass," Nate objected teasingly, causing Abbie to chuckle as they started forward.

He moved to take her messenger bag from her when she dismissed him with a wave.

"I got it. Thanks though."

"My lady."

Sully gave her a low bow as he stuck out his arm for her to take and she did so giggling as she slapped his shoulder.

"God Sully I'm not one of those ridiculous women you're trying to pick up."

"Old habits die hard," he shrugged.

"Uh huh I find that hard to believe."

"You should see him on bingo night; the ladies love him," Nate threw in from behind them.

When Abbie burst into laughter Nate couldn't help but let his ego swell up with pride. If there was one thing he was better at then finding lost treasures it would be being able to be the comical relief in any given situation. When she looked over her shoulder at him however Nate felt his breath catch as he watched in what felt like slow motion as she turned and faced forward.

"So what've you guys been up too lately?"

While Sully filled her in Nate didn't mind taking in the view from the back as they walked over to the jeep.

So how are you guys feeling about it so far?

I promise it'll start picking up some speed in the next chapters.

Any comments or reviews would be appreciated :)

Thanks so much for reading!
