A/N Let's pretend part of his power is that Nathan can heal himself if he's not too badly injured to die, merely because the beginning won't make too much sense otherwise. Set after the first series kinda...after maybe the first episode of season 2. Spoilers for Nathans power, so yeah i guess it has to be set after S02E01. Sometime in season 2 i guess, before Nathan/Kelly and Simon/Alisha, and before Marnie. Back when they were single. Hope you enjoy. :) x
Opens in Community Centre:
Nathan awoke in a pool of blood. That was the first thing he noticed. "Fuck." He muttered under his breath. Not knowing how he had died, he sat up and thought. What had happened last night? Nothing out of the ordinary, that's for sure. After he'd finished his community service, he hung around a bar and drank a couple of pints. Well, maybe more than a couple, but he can't have been that drunk to get here on his own. Only he doesn't actually remember getting here...-his train of thought was interrupted when Simon suddenly appeared.
Nathan jumped. "Jesus, Barry. What were you doing there, you pervert? Have you been watching me this whole time?" Simon suddenly looked flustered. "No, no I-"
"You were watching me, weren't you, you little freak."
"I just wanted you to be okay." Nathan was taken aback. He didn't assume that any of his friends cared that much for him. He smiled. Simon smiled back.
Then Nathan realised. "You know who killed me." Simon's eyes widened. "No one killed you, you didn't die."
"Fuck you, man. You killed me didn't you? Can you not see this fucking massive pool of blood or are you too stupid."
"I see the blood. But you didn't die. You healed yourself."
"What? Then what happened to make me bleed?"
"You came out of a bar into an alley and a guy stabbed you."
"But, why were you there?"
That caught Simon out. "I-i was..." Simon sighed "All that matters is that I saw, i was invisible. Don't worry, i punched the guy that did it."
Nathan found himself smiling again. He wasn't even creeped out that Simon had been following him while he was invisible. It made him feel strangely, warm. And Simon had punched the guy that stabbed Nathan. He was being protected.
"You don't need to protect me Barry, I'll be fine, I'm immortal an-"
"That doesn't mean you can't feel pain. Why should you have to know what it feels like to die over and over again"
Nathan noticed that Simon didn't deny the fact that he had been protecting him.
"Why did you do it? Watch me, i mean."
"Because i know you're stupid enough to let yourself be killed." Simon sighed.
"I have another question...how did i get back here?"
"I brought you back. I...i carried you back." Nathan raised his eyebrow. He was pretty sure Simon couldn't lift him, then again, there was a lot he didn't know about Simon, he wasn't his favourite person in the world."
"Thanks mate." Was all he could say. In fact, he was astounded that Simon had been so nice to him.
"Yeah well...I should go."
Simon walked away. Nathan wished he hadn't.
Hopefully this will be a multichapter fic and i plan on updating it at least once a week, and the chapters will be longer, so if you ship Nathan/simon and like slash. This will be this fic. Rated T, no smut will ensue, i promise. There is enough nimon smut out there.
