Pairing: Nate/Parker

A/N: Thank you to the people who have reviewed my story because I definitely become more inspired after reading all your reviews and hopefully you enjoy chapter 3.

"Am I dead? Oh I'm dead I know it. Lord please forgive me for all my sins," Hardison begged.

"Um yeah I suppose you are forgiven," answered an awfully familiar voice and then they heard a huge roar of laughter and not only was it one voice but two. They both opened their eyes to see Nate dressed in the Jason garb with Parker standing beside him; both of them were laughing so hard that they were beginning to cry.

It took a few moments for Eliot to realize that he wasn't dead and that in fact all of this was just one big hoax.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU TWO WERE GETTING AT?" he yelled.

"We were only getting you back for the trick you played on Parker," Nate informed him still laughing.

"That is not funny Nate. I thought I was dead. You just ain't right," Hardison said standing up and letting go of Eliot.

"Oh it was pretty funny," Parker managed to get out through all of the laughs clutching at Nate's arm for support.

"What we did wasn't near as bad as this. Plus when did you start jumping in to Parker's aid? She can handle things herself" Eliot complained.

"Ever since I realized that I lo….noticed how much you two pick on her. And I suppose we may have gotten a little carried away," Nate admitted almost giving away that he was finding himself falling in love with the quirky yet loving thief. He looked over at her and found she was looking at him with a question in her eyes but she just shook her head and looked at Hardison as he began to speak.

"A little? Nate you broke my window and my door. You call that a little carried away?"

"Hardison I think I can afford to replace your broken stuff," Nate informed him.

"Oh you will replace it and don't think I'm going to choose the cheap stuff either. Naw this man has some pretty expensive tastes," Hardison told him.

"You guys are actually lucky I'm the one who decided to go with this plan cause Parker wanted to taser you two."

"Well next time do us a favor and just let her tase us Nate," Eliot told him.

"Oh that can be arranged," Parker said as she pulled the taser out and began to walk forward.

"Parker that's not necessary, I think we got them back and plus some," Nate laughed seeing the look on Hardison's face when Parker pulled out the taser.

"Fine. But next time we're doing it my way so think about that before you two decide to mess around with me," Parker smirked pressing the button on the taser making it turn on.

"Okay I just have one question," Hardison said looking warily at Parker and the taser. Because he then remembered the picture Parker sent him showing that they were supposed to be at Nate's. "What about the picture to prove you are supposed to be at headquarters."

"Being a computer geek Hardison I figured you would have figured that out. We took it in advance and just replaced the time stamp. You aren't the only tech person in the crew," Nate said proudly looking over towards Eliot as he began to ask his own questions.

"So you two caused everything freaky to happen around here right? The knocking on the door, the phone call, the knocking on the bathroom window, and obviously you were the one we kept seeing outside the windows."

"The knocking on the windows and the door yes, the figure outside the window yes, but we didn't call you Eliot," Nate told him with straight face.

"Don't play with me man. You called."

"No we didn't. Did you call them Parker?" Nate asked looking at her.

"Nope."

"I'm sure it was just a wrong number Eliot," Nate assured him.

"Yeah it better have been," Eliot said a little uneasy.

"Well I guess Parker and I will go now that we've had our fun. Enjoy the fight boys. Oh and Hardison I'll have someone out here tomorrow to fix the door and the window." Nate said as he gestured for Parker to follow him out the way they came in. He heard Hardison mumble "Yeah you better the way you busted in hear like you own the place. Disrespectful that's what that is." And Eliot just grunted and turned around to go back to the living room.

On the way back to Nate's, Parker looked over at him and asked with a little curiosity, "Why did you tell Eliot that it wasn't us who called?"

"Just thought I'd keep them guessing. Keeps them on their toes," Nate said looking back at her and smiling.

"Oh. So now what are we going to do with the rest of our night?"

"Well I'm going to put together a video out of the footage we just recorded, and you can hang out at my place unless you want me to drop you off at yours?"

"No I'll go to your house. I like hanging out with you," Parker told him which wasn't normally like her.

"Well I enjoy your company so I'm glad you like hanging with me," Nate told her sincerely.

Twenty minutes later found Nate on his laptop putting together a video that he couldn't wait to post online and Parker who was sitting next to him with a bowl of cereal in hand.

"Do you eat anything other than cereal?" Nate asked as he looked over at Parker realizing how close she was sitting to him.

"Yes. It's just that Coca Balls is my favorite kind and I haven't had it in awhile."

He just shook his and went back to editing the video. "Well they must be pretty good then."

"They are. Want a bite?" asked Parker as she moved the cereal filled spoon towards him.

"Um sure," Nate agreed leaning forward taking the spoon in his mouth. Parker slowly pulled the now empty spoon out and gave him a look that said 'Awesome, I know.' He just shook his head in agreement and his swallowed the cereal.

"Look at me real quick," Parker told him. He turned to look at her wondering why she told him to look at her when he noticed her hand coming towards his face and then he felt her thumb softly go across his chin and the lower part of his lip. 'God that feels good,' he thought to himself but it was over way too quick for his liking. He glanced down at her and noticed a slight blush on her face.

As she looked away she said quickly, "You had some milk on your chin."

"Thanks," he stated as he sat watching her a little longer before turning his attention back to the video smiling like a lovesick fool allowing to come to the conclusion that, yes, he was in fact in love with her.

Just as he was finishing up the video he felt something against his arm, so he glanced down to find that Parker was leaning up against him with her head on his shoulder asleep. He just smiled at her and saved the video and turned off the laptop quite proud of the work he accomplished. He then slowly started to stand up so as not to wake her, then he reached down to pick her up causing her to moan a little as she got comfortable in his arms as he carried her upstairs. He gently laid her down on his bed and covered her up giving her a gentle kiss on the cheek. "You can add my heart to the list of items you've stolen. I love you with all my heart and always will," he declared to a sleeping Parker before he left to go sleep on the couch not noticing the smile on her face after hearing his declaration of love for her.

The next morning Nate woke up to the smell of coffee and sat up just remembering he slept on the couch which wasn't a very bright idea because now his whole body was aching and probably would continue to ache for the rest of the day. He stood up slowly and headed to the kitchen for a cup of some much needed coffee.

"Morning Nate," Parker happily greeted coming up behind him nearly causing him to spill the hot liquid all over himself but thankfully he had halfway decent reflexes.

He just nodded and went over to the table to sit down. "Thanks for the coffee by the way," he said after taking a few sips.

"No problem," she said merrily.

"You're in an awfully chipper mood," he noticed.

"Am I?" Parker dismissed.

"Just a little happier than normal I suppose."

"Hmm. Haven't noticed."

"Well I'm going to go get in the shower and get dressed then we can figure out a way to occupy ourselves," Nate told her as he stood up and went upstairs to go take a shower.

"Sounds like a plan man." Parker giggled as he left. 'Now how do I get him to reveal to me what he said last night?'

Nate came down the stairs fully dressed ready for whatever Parker might have in store for them to do. "Did you think of anything while I was getting ready?"

"How about we just take a stroll around the park?"

"Um wow I'm surprised you didn't mentioned breaking into something," he laughed.

"Well that was my second idea if you shot this one down," she halfway joked giving her crazy little smile.

He smiled back at her, "Well a walk sounds fine to me. Let's go."

"Wow it's beautiful ," Parker said in awe as they pulled into a parking spot.

"Yeah it is," he agreed as they got out of the car walking over to sidewalk to begin their walk in the park.

He looked over at Parker who was just looking around with an extremely happy look on her face. 'I haven't seen her this happy in quite awhile,' he smiled to himself. Parker then chose to look up at Nate catching him looking at her.

"Thanks for letting me sleep in your bed because I know how uncomfortable the couch can be and sorry you had to carry me. You could have just woke me up you know."

"Anytime and you just looked too comfortable to be woken up. It was no problem carrying you."

She nodded as they continued their leisurely walk. 'Just ask him already,' Parker told herself trying to work up the courage to ask him if he said anything to her last night because that's the only way she could come up with to get him to reveal his love for her.

"Um Nate can I ask you a question?"

"Of course," Nate replied noticing that she stopped walking and turned around to look at her.

"Um did you like say anything to me before you left your room last night?" Parker asked her stomach churning waiting for him to answer.

"Um…no….I mean yes… ugh," Nate stammered. A couple moments later he walked closer to her putting his hands on her shoulders causing her to look up at him. "Did you hear what I told?" She just nodded her head. "And?" he asked hoping she felt the same way.

"I love you too," she said so quietly he thought he imagined it but then she was leaning closer until their lips met in a firm yet soft kiss. Nate wrapped his arms around her bringing her body up against his and knew he didn't imagine her words. They both ended the kiss out of breath but smiling at each other. Nate reached down to link their hands together and began to walk again still looking down at Parker not believing she loved him. "How long have you felt this way?" he asked out of curiosity.

"Um I can't remember when I began to fall in love with you," she answered honestly, "How long have you felt this way?"

He laughed a little and replied, "Well I think I've liked you for quite awhile and didn't even realize it but yesterday it just hit me that I had fallen for you. I didn't even realize that you had stolen my heart."

"Well I am a thief and a pretty darn good one too," she laughed, "So are we going to tell the rest of the team?"

"I wouldn't mind if they knew, but I'll leave it up to you."

She thought for a few minutes weighing the pros and cons for each decision, "Yeah I think we should tell them. Plus it will be fun to hear all of Hardison's comments when we kiss in front of him."

That caused Nate to laugh and agreed with her. "Well are you ready to head back?" Nate asked her about an hour later because it just occurred to him that he didn't have any breakfast and was pretty hungry.

"Yeah sure. I'm about to starve!"

When they arrived back at his place they found Sophie, Hardison, and Eliot on the sofa just talking to each other.

"Well hello everyone," Nate greeted a little disappointed to find that his house wasn't empty because he really wanted some time alone with Parker. "I see your mini vacation is over Sophie. Welcome home."

"Thank you Nate. Hi Parker," Sophie greeted.

"Hey. Oh by the way Nate and I are dating as of this morning, thought you guys might want to know," she said casually as if it wasn't a big deal. Eliot just looked confused, Sophie smiled, and Hardison was choking on his orange soda.

"Well that's one way to tell everyone," Nate said kinda glad she just put it out there, might as well get it over with.

"Well congratulations you two," Sophie said.

"Yeah. It's kind of surprising but whatever," Eliot accepted.

'And here we go.' Nate thought as he waited for Hardison to respond.

"I don't believe it. You two dating? Ha!" Hardison said thinking it was another joke. Parker just looked at Hardison for a couple seconds and then went over to Nate and pulled him down for a kiss to prove to Hardison that they were in fact dating. Nate was a little surprised at first but then relaxed into the kiss a second later.

"Oh my Lord! Are they…they're kissing," Hardison declared needlessly, "Okay. OKAY! I get it the point. You two are actually dating. And here I thought she liked me. That just ain't right. What does Nate have that I don't?"

"You really want to know Hardison?" Sophie asked.

"On second thought no. I'm good."

Parker broke the kiss asking, "Do you need more proof?"

"Naw I'm good. In fact I will be happy never to see that again."

Nate then clapped his hands together, "Okay now I love you guys and normally don't mind you being here, but you guys are going to have to leave."

Sophie took the hint asking if Eliot and Hardison wanted to go to the new restaurant down the street for a late lunch.

"Uh-uh. I refuse to leave," Hardison stated as Sophie and Eliot shrugged leaving him behind knowing he probably wouldn't be too far behind, "This also headquarters and I believe we have right to be here."

"Fine have it your way Hardison, but Parker and I may just spontaneously start making out. But hey if you don't mind neither do we," Nate informed him with a smile.

"Sophie! Eliot! Wait up you ain't leaving me here with them by myself," Hardison yelled running after them.

Nate looked over at Parker who was laughing. "So what do you want to do for lunch?" he asked.

"I don't care, but I thought we were going to watch the video you made last night with everyone?"

"Well I slipped Sophie a copy of it into her purse and I'll send a text later to Hardison and Eliot to a YouTube link," he told her, "How about Chinese?"

"Ooh yeah."

"Okay I'll order but first I want a kiss," he said smiling as he pulled her in close for another kiss loving the way she felt in his arms.

Later on that night they were snuggled up close on the couch watching some random movie on TV, well more like kissing and sometimes watching the movie, when Nate's phone began buzzing. He leaned forward to check it causing him to laugh a few seconds later.

"What?" Parker asked wondering what he was laughing at.

"Let's just say Eliot and Alec found out that the video is on YouTube and Sophie says and I quote, 'Oh my God. You two are just bloody mean, but I have to admit I can't stop laughing. Who knew Eliot could cry and Hardison could run that fast?'" Nate told her.

"He did run pretty fast didn't he?" Parker laughed looking up at Nate who was looking at her with the kindest of smiles and love in his eyes.

"I love you," Nate told her softly. She just smiled at him and reached over to give him another kiss, "I love you too Nate and I always will."

END

A/N: Well that truly is it for this story. I have to say this is the longest story I've written mainly because I just run out of ideas to write about, but hopefully you enjoyed it because I certainly had fun writing it. I will continue to write more stories for Nate and Parker but I'm not sure when I'll post another story, but I have a feeling you guys won't have to wait too terribly long (maybe a week or so). :)
