This popped into my head. It's a Nathan and Fiona one shot.. You can take it as a friendship or romance one shot.
Nathan was out doing rounds in Hope Valley when he saw Fiona walking toward the oil rig. Nathan was curious and started following her. When he and Newton were finally close enough, he called out her name.
"Fiona" Nathan called out.
Fiona stopped and turned around. Seeing that it was Nathan, she smiled.
"Hello Nathan" Fiona said.
Nathan smiled back at her.
"What are you doing out here?" Nathan asked.
"I'm going to look I one of the oil drums to check on the oil" Fiona said.
"I see. Do you need help? Those drums can be tricky to open." Nathan asked.
"I'm fine." Fiona said.
"They're tricky to open" Nathan offered again.
"Would you be asking me this if I was a man? I'm not just a pretty face" Fiona said.
Nathan smirked.
"It would depend on the man. If it was Henry or Ned, I would. If it was Lucas, probably not"
"I'm fine on my own" Fiona said and turned around and started walking toward the rig.
Amused by all of this, Nathan followed Fiona. Once he reached the rig, he dismounted Newton. Fiona saw him.
"Don't worry. I'm just here to observe" Nathan said.
"You know Nathan, women can do everything a man can do" Fiona said.
"Not everything" Nathan said with a sly smile. Fiona rolled her eyes at the double entrende. Fiona looked at the oil drummed. She tried to lift it. That didn't work. She tried lifting the sides, it didn't work. At this point, Nathan started eating an apple and watched Fiona struggle to open the drum. After a few tries, Fiona got frustrated and looked over at Nathan. Nathan saw that Fiona was defeated. He put the apple in his mouth and unbuttoned his serge and took it off. Still with the apple in his mouth, Nathan strutted over to the oil drum, he turned it and the lid popped. Nathan took the apple out of his mouth and took a bte of his apple.
"I must have loosened it" Fiona said.
Nathan gave a chuckle.
"I believe that a woman can do any job a man can do. I tell Allie that all the time. But sometimes men and women need to ask for help."
Nathan walked back and put his serge back on and mounted Newton.
"Thank you." Fiona said.
"You're welcome. And by the way, your face looks pretty today" Nathan said with a huge smile.
Fiona put her hands on her hips and watched Nathan leave.
