9 - Fun and power armor

"I liked the advice you gave them Nate," was whispered into his ear as Cait's arms wrapped around his waist from behind, "I figured I'd give them a hand, since they're giving us a hand too. I saw how they lit up at a chance for a new start so I know exactly how much I'm gonna give them, they're gonna get their new start and then some." Nate's hands clasped tightly over Cait's as he turned his head to look over his shoulder, "I'll be back, I gotta ask Doc Sun something before I finish our armor." Nate squeezed her hands before he went out the door down to Doc Sun, seeing Hare at the Noodle stand Nate stopped, "Has Bunny ever spoken? Or has he never had a voice?"

Hare gave a sigh, he knew that kind of question was coming, "No voice what so ever, I've always been his voice when he needed it till he met Kitten." "I'm gonna see if Doc Sun can fix that for him, he seems like he'd be a good dad." Hare grinned, "Got that right Boss, I'm sure they'll both thank you for it. They still want to fight though, they want a new life but they want one last fight." Nate thought for a moment, "I'll see what I can do, I might be able to take both of them in my group and Cait and I will think of something." Hare got up and headed to the Dugout with a wave over his shoulder, "Good luck with that Boss, let us know when you're ready for us." Nate shook his head with a grin as he walked into Doc Suns clinic, "Hey Doc got a minute?"

Sun gave a sigh as he turned to look at Nate, "What do you want now? I've told you everything I know about stimpacks and other drugs." "Not that Doc, I need a price for two face reconstructions one now. Then maybe a day or so from now, the last one and a possible estimate on if you can fix vocal chords." Doc Sun stood in silence for a moment, "I'll get you the reconstruction estimates but what's this about vocal chords?" "Someone that's helping me has never spoken a day in their life, and I wanna see if I can get that to change for them." Doc Sun nodded at this, "Always wanting to help others out aren't you? I'll see what I can do, it'll be a little pricey but I know you can afford it. I've seen how much junk you haul in here occasionally, just throw in a bottle of your brew with the price and we'll call it even." Sun said as he wrote down a rough estimate for the reconstructions Nate wanted down a piece of paper before handing it to Nate. Nate saw the price and sighed, "You trying to cheat yourself Doc? That's not enough and you and I both know it."

Sun gave a rare grin, "With how many stimpacks, radaway and radX you've saved me from using? And all the medical supplies you've brought? I've got the estimate just perfect, that and I wanna experiment with your brew a little bit that's why I asked for a bottle." Nate laughed at that, "I'll bring you two bottles and the money in an hour, just don't add mutfruit juice, it'll literally stop your heart. If you do, you better hope I'm here to help cause I somehow know just how long to wait before I stick a few of my special stims in you." Docs eyes bugged out a little, "Whatever you say Nate, hey did you really bitch slap Piper?" Docs voice sounded excited at that last piece of gossip, "Word of that is spreading all over and people are actually happy someone finally did it." Nate nodded, "She said something she shouldn't have said, that's my only comment on it. With luck she'll have learned her lesson, if not her loss, next time I'm letting Cait beat her to a pulp."

Doc laughed at that, "I'd pay good money to see that! See you in an hour or so Nate!" Nate went back to his home but stopped in front of Soloman, "I need ten Psycho Soloman," "Sure thing man, here's a couple Med-X on the house." Nate took his drugs then went back into his home firmly shutting the door behind him, "Nate what the hell is that?" Cait sounded angry, "Don't worry, I'm gonna empty these and use them for my special mix stimpack." He calmly told her as he walked to his small lab set up, carefully popping open each Psycho injector and dumping the contents into a jar for a different use later. "Why're you saving that shite Nate?" "Ammo for that Syringer, I add some mutfruit to it and a few other things and I can make any living thing explode." Nate told her with a grin, remembering the first time he did that, "Can also use it to make those Fury grenades I can drop on a group and watch them tear each other apart." Cait nodded before she picked up the Med-X, "And this?", "I just need the injector, might try and do something with the chem itself, but mostly just need the injector. I want to test a little drug I invented on Piper, see how good it works."

Nate smirked as he said this before turning to Cait, "Can you get me an empty bowl and put some red and white paint in it? I'll need to repaint the injector so I don't fuck up and sell it. And a bowl of blue paint and a bowl of red paint, separate the different strengths on the stimpacks." Cait grinned as she gave him a kiss, "Right on it love," thoughts of what they would do to Piper now seemed to come easier than before making Nate give a shrug, 'She shouldn't have called my wife a whore, heh. My wife, I like the sound of that.' Nate grabbed a bottle of his brew and ripped the cork out with his teeth before taking a long swallow, "Waste of good brew but I need my best stims for this shit storm," he mumbled as he dumped the rest of the bottle into several large beakers before grabbing a handful of regular stims and shooting them into the liquid. Checking to make sure Cait wasn't looking, Nate took a dropper and sucked some of the Psycho into it before carefully dropping one tiny drop into the mix. A small explosion could be heard from where Cait was, making her stop looking for the red paint and run to Nate's side, "Nate you ok love?"

Nate gave a loud hacking cough from the floor before he stood, "Fuck, I don't remember that happening! I'm ok babe," he told her as he brushed the dirt from his chest piece Nate turned at Cait's laugh, "Oh Nate, you should see yourself right now!" Nate knew he might look a mess, but with how hard Cait was laughing at him he figured it might be worse than usual so he ran to grab a piece of polished steel and stared at his reflection. Nate started laughing himself, his eyebrows had been partially singed off and was still smoking on one side, and his face was covered in a mess of black soot. Nate grinned then as he put the metal down and pulled Cait into his chest, "No Nate! I don't want to get dirty!" She laughed out as he began to kiss at her face, they gave a shared moan as his lips found hers, Cait's arms wrapped around his neck and her fingers tangled in his hair as he ran his hands up and down her back. When they pulled free Cait had some of the soot from Nate's face smudged on her cheeks, "Not fair Nate," she panted already feeling herself get wet.

Nate gave her ass a soft pat before he whispered, "Who cares, lets wash our faces, I was thinking of getting a haircut for our fun trip." Nate lightly nibbled at her neck drawing another moan from Cait, "Next thing you know, you'll ask me to bathe with you again." Cait joked half heartedly as she tried to cover up another moan as Nate massaged her back, "I could, if you wanted me to," he told her as he pulled back and cupped her cheek. Nate stared deep into her eyes before he gently kissed her lips, Cait melted into his embrace as Nate did this, his lips like magic against hers. They kissed slowly like shy teenagers again, as Nate carefully leaned down to grab her legs, ready to carry her to the bed upstairs when a soft knock on the door interrupted them again. "God damnit," Nate muttered as he pulled away from Cait, she laughed and pressed her lips to his cheek, "Go deal with it, I need to get that paint you wanted and clean up." Nate grumbled slightly as he went to the door, when he opened it he blinked not seeing anyone until he looked down.

"Oh! Hello there, what can I help you with?" Nate asked as he saw several of the school children at his door, "You were frozen in a vault right mister?" Nate grinned, "I sure was, school project about the past again guys?" They all nodded, "Let me clean up and I'll treat everyone to the noodle stand and tell you guys what I can." All the kids cheered at that, no one turned down free food, especially when the free food came from Nate, he had a tendency to let them get multiple bowls or plates of food and never cared. Nate left the door open as he went to Cait, taking the rag from her offered hand he asked her, "Care to join me for some noodles?" The rag covered his face as he scrubbed, one hand beginning to loosen his armor again, Cait laughed, "Sounds good, I'd love to hear some of the stories you tell the kids Nate." He blushed as she began to help remove his armor while he cleaned his hands, when he finished Cait passed him his shirt and headed for the door, "See you there darlin'."

Nate grinned as he pulled the shirt on enjoying how the kids all got excited to see Cait as she exited his home, "Miss Cait, are you gonna come eat with us and Mister Nate?" "I'd love to guys, let's go sit down while Nate grabs his caps," Cait laughed out getting dragged along by the kids. Nate stood in the doorway for a moment and watched how she lit up with joy at the kids antics, making him grin, he would've stood longer but his stomach growled at him and made him give a chuckle as he closed the door, heavy pouch of caps on his hip as he went to sit next to Cait. Cait laughed at him when he got there, the seats on both sides of her were taken up by some of the smaller boys that had a crush on her and where chatting her ear off, "You can sit next to me," a small girl told Nate putting a soft smile to his face, "I'd like that," as he helped the girl onto the stool he proclaimed, "Takahashi! Bowls all around! Sodas too!" An excited whoop was heard from the kids, free food and sodas was a new one from Nate, he must have been in a fantastic mood today, "So kids what pre-vault stories do you want today?"

Nate laughed as all the kids talked at once all of them wanting something different when he heard the little girl next to him, "How about one of when you met Cait?" Cait grinned at that as the others voiced their want of that story as well, who cared about the stupid school project anyway, Nate stared at Cait and smiled, "I think we've got time for that one love." Cait answered his unspoken question as he turned to face his bowl of noodles, "Ok, the day I met the love of my life. I was wandering around the commonwealth same as always and had just come back to visit you guys and sell some stuff I found when Jimmy told me at the gate, there was a raider bar called the Combat Zone if I was bored and wanted to mess with some raiders." Nate smiled as he remembered the day clearly as if it was yesterday and not ten months ago, "I went to the Combat Zone and saw about ten raiders outside the door." Nate lied on that, there had only been four, but the kids always loved a good fight.

"I used some new grenades I got from Nuka World and blew them away, which reminds me our next trip to Nuka we gotta pick up more of those smart frags Cait. Anyway, after I beat all those raiders I went inside, I heard an arena announcer calling out a fight that was going down so I went in the next set of doors. After I opened those doors I looked all the way down to the stage and saw the most beautiful woman I've ever seen clobbering some poor raider idiot with a swatter." He hated calling it a swatter, but the kids wouldn't understand baseball bat still, no matter how many times he tried to explain, "When I saw her my heart started beating like crazy, I fell in love at that moment, I swear she could have been an angel with the way the lights fell on her. Then the announcer noticed me and all the raiders in the joint started swarming me, and while they came at me I never took my eyes off of Cait. I shot all of them without looking as I walked calmly to the stage, when they were all dead I was standing face to face with her, she was just as angelic up close as she was from all the way up near the door." She smiled softly at Nate as he said this and stood before her as well, "Tommy offered to let her go with me to cover my back since I killed all the raiders, and I said yes."

Cait held her hand out for Nate's as she smiled back at him, "What did you think of Mr. Nate, Miss Cait?" One of the smaller boys asked, "I thought he was a bit of a fool, who else but a fool would go walking blindly into a raider den." Cait said with a laugh, "But did you have feelings for him?" The boy with the biggest crush on Cait asked, "Not at first. Believe it or not I couldn't stand Nate, but as we covered each other's back more and more I started falling for him too." Cait slid her hand up Nate's arm as he stepped a little closer, "It was finally after he saved my life that I realized that I did love him. When he came back to the Cottage when those raiders attacked us, he told me that he didn't save me to help me, he saved me cause he loved me." Cait stood and placed a kiss at Nate's cheek making some of the boys gag. "I love you," was quietly whispered between them as the kids begged for more, "Sorry guys, we gotta fix our power armor then hit the road. Got a massive battle to fight and we have to lead the way."

Nate gently waved off the swarm of questions that caused, "I'll leave some caps so you guys can have another bowl of noodles and a soda before you head home." Nate left a small pile for the kids to mess with as he walked arm in arm with Cait, Nate went right to Doc Suns clinic, "Hey Doc! Here's the caps you wanted! If it's not enough I'll bring more when I bring you a brew!" He called out to the doctor as he tossed the rest of the bag of caps his way before swiftly pulling Cait with him, closing the door with a loud bang as he covered her mouth with his. A moan came from Cait's throat as she wrapped her arms around his neck and slid her leg up his, allowing him to grab it and pull her closer. A growl left Nate's throat as he pulled away and gave Cait a swift smile, "Wanna try one more time before we go to work?"

Cait smiled back as she gently pressed her lips against his for a moment before pulling away and taking his hand in hers, Cait lead them up the stairs then stopped them before their bed, Nate gave a tug on her hand and pulled her back to him. "I meant what I said, you are the most beautiful woman in my life. You're a god damn angel with everything you do, the way you walk, the way you talk, your smile, your laugh, that pissed off growl you do sometimes, even when you're beating someone's head in." Cait let her hands cup his cheeks as she pressed another soft kiss to his lips, "And you're my knight in shining power armor, I love you you fantastic masterpiece of a man." Nate gave a small laugh, "Ok that's the best one I've heard from you yet," he sat down on the bed and pulled her down with him, "I'll think of more everyday." She whispered as they locked their lips together, Nate's hand gently holding her hip as he began to lean towards her.

Nate soon had them laying down on his bed again, and pulled back to watch the light sparkle in her eyes as he gently toyed with her hair, "When all this war shit is over, I'm gonna enjoy living the rest of my life by your side Cait." Nate leaned back down to press a kiss at her neck, then slowly he began to worship her lips as he slid his hand down to her waist feeling the cuffs still around her hips as a belt gave him an idea, he began to kiss and nibble at Cait's neck before he asked, "Key?" Cait moaned lightly before answering, "Front pocket, right side." Nate dug his fingers into the pocket and found the key quickly removing the handcuffs and setting them within reach, then slowly teased at the skin under the edge of her shirt, "Can I?" "Please," she panted enjoying how he was working her over so far making her so much wetter.

Nate agonizingly slow pulled her shirt up, moving it over the top of her head then stopping, "Stay still," his hot breath whispered into her ear, as he licked the sweat trails off her torso and down to her waist barely rimming her bellybutton as he pressed gentle kisses at the top of her jeans. Cait's hips raised up to meet him as he did this before he pressed them back down with a strong hand, kissing his way back up to her face letting their lips lock together and their tongues begin to dance with each other while Nate palmed at her breasts loving how the nipples instantly pebbled up at his touch as Cait moaned again. Nate pulled her shirt off her arms and threw it behind him as he brought her hands to her chest and placed them on each mound, "Play with them for me," he whispered into the skin of her neck just below her ear as he kissed his way back down to her waist again, his hands grasping at her hips again. The skin of his fingertips teasing at her skin where they touched as she pinched, pulled, and groped at her breasts for Nate, soft moans leaving her lips as Nate kissed at her stomach as he slowly undid the button and zipper of her jeans.

Nate pulled them down slowly, revealing inch after inch of more of her pale white skin before revealing the top edge of her bright red cunt hairs. Nate kissed at her hips before he shot up, hand instantly covering Cait's mouth as the sound of someone transporting into his home was heard, "Stay here, don't move, I'll be right back, no sound." He whispered into her ear as he grabbed the pipe next to the wall and stealthily made his way down the stairs, Nate eased his head around the corner and saw the back of a courser gazing around. Nate contemplated just bashing him over the head but decided not to, instead he grabbed the coursers shoulder and prepared to slug him as he twisted him around but stopped, "What the FUCK X6? Don't you know how to knock? Fuck, scared the shit outta me." Nate raged as he threw the pipe up the stairs and went to the armor pile, "Minimizing my exposure to civilians is..." "Forget it! Forget I said a damn thing!"

Nate motioned to the pile with a wide swing, "Here's all the armor that's left, take what you can for the others then haul ass to Starlight." X6 silently grabbed one of the synth chest pieces and connected it on over his coat before turning to Nate, "Father sends this sir, he says it might be a bit glitchy at first, but he does plan on refining it with every visit he expects from both of you." X6 held out a silver bracelet that Shawn had tried to make look like actual jewelry, even going so far as to engraving a wolf howling at a moon. Nate gave a small smile as he pocketed the bracelet, "Thanks X6, sorry I snapped, Cait and I wanted to get some sleep before we went out. We where gonna bring our deathclaw out to Starlight so you kinda startled me."

X6 nodded as he knelt to grab all the armor he could carry, "This should be enough for us sir, though we could've just worn our own armor with your design on it." This caused Nate to pause and think for a moment, "Tell Shawn to send ten squads of trooper synths decked out in heavy armor with my design when he sends the courser units, the more bodies we have for the fight the better. Cait and I will see everyone at Starlight as fast as we can make it, we need our deathclaw and we're gonna try and scout a little bit too, see what can be taken permanently as new outposts or settlements." X6 nodded then transported back to the Institute with the armor, Nate sighed and pulled the bracelet out of his pocket to study it a little more before he heard a soft moan from Cait upstairs. Nate grinned as he came up the stairs and enjoyed what he saw, Cait was still laying out on the bed trying to wiggle her jeans off farther as she continued to play with her breasts as she waited for Nate's return.

Nate rolled the pipe out of the way and stood between her legs again, "Next person to interrupt I'm shooting for you baby, now where were we?" A sly smile came to Nate's lips as he leaned down and let his fingertips brush at her sides before sliding back down to her jeans, his lips then gently kissing the skin between her breasts before slowly kissing back down to the red hair of her cunt that he slowly revealed centimeter by centimeter. When her jeans were completely out of the way Nate saw how wet she was at his tourture, and kissed her clit causing her hips to jump off the bed and press against his face, "Oh god Nate please!" She cried out, as Nate kissed lower and lower along her slit, pushing her legs farther apart as he enjoyed her sweet scent. Nate gave Cait's cunt a long lick that slipped between her folds, tasting the sweetness of her wet heat, and tickled her clit on the way up causing Cait's hand to shoot down and bury her fingers in Nate's hair as she gave a cry of pleasure.

Nate grinned as he pulled her jeans the rest of the way off giving a quick kiss to her inner thigh as he pulled himself away from her grasp, once he had slipped her jeans off her feet he slowly slid his hands up the back of her calves and up the sides of her thighs, firmly gripping her hips before he muscled her legs over his shoulders and dove back in. Cait's grip on his hair returned as Nate kissed, licked, and nibbled where he could, knowing what would drive her crazy with want. Cait's cries of pleasure were sweet nectar to Nate's ears as he helped her topple over the edge of orgasm, 'She was right, I am enjoying hearing how much good I'm doing for her.' Was his only thought as he pulled back, licking his lips as he slid her legs off his shoulders and kissed back up her body. Cait could feel how painfully hard Nate was when he pressed his covered crotch against hers and rubbed against her, pulling a full body shiver from Cait as she let her legs wrap around his waist and let her free hand tangle back into his hair as their lips locked together.

Nate dropped the bracelet onto the bedside table near the cuffs before he reached a hand down to slowly pump his fingers into Cait, enjoying how wet she still was and was ready for him to stop his torturous pleasure he was inflicting upon her. Nate pulled away with a moan as he pulled his fingers from Cait's cunt, sucking them all dry except for one, which he offered to Cait and watched as she wrapped her tongue around his finger and slowly sucked her juices off of it. Nate palmed his crotch at that and slowly dragged his zipper down as he pulled his finger away, pulling Cait up into a sitting position so he could lean down and lock their lips together again as he pushed his own jeans down letting his cock bounce into an upright position as it stood free. Nate groaned as the cold air hit his hot flesh before Cait's hands gently covered it, slowly stroking the full length back and forth, a thumb swiping at his head stealing the beads of pre cum that came forth.

Cait's lips pulled away from his and kissed the tip of his cock head, his fingers tangling in her hair as she slowly slid his length down her throat. Cait's hand squeezed his hip as she bobbed her head along his length pulling a loud moan from Nate as he lightly pumped his hips into her face. Soon both of Nate's hands held Cait's head as she swallowed his length down and moaned at the taste of more of his pre cum, causing his hips to buck involuntarily into her face, "Oh god baby, I'm close." Nate moaned out as Cait went on, making her stop and look up at him with a grin, his cock still deep in her mouth, Nate felt both of her hands squeeze his hips and looked her in the face, "You want me to fuck your face baby?" Cait gave a small nod as she swallowed against his cock head, Nate brushed the hair from her eyes, "You hit me if it's too much." At this he began to slide her head back and forth along his length, going slowly at first, his muscles straining to keep from roughly slamming her head down his length.

Cait flicked his thigh and moved her head faster in his grasp, making him do the same with his hips, his balls slapping against her chin as he began to savagely fuck her throat with all the power he could use without hurting her. Nate froze then, holding Cait's head all the way down to the base of his cock, as he shot burst after burst of cum down her throat, moaning as he felt her swallow it all down. Cait pulled her head free from his grasp and stood in front of him, the sound of the springs moving made Nate look at her as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly. His hands automatically went to hold her hips and kiss her back as his length began to harden again, feeling this Cait stopped and looked at Nate, love filling her eyes, "Make love to me Nate?" She asked softly, he smiled and kissed her hard again as he lowered them both back down to the bed his cock head teasing at her entrance as they pulled themselves fully onto the bed, before Nate held his cock steady and slowly pushed inside.

Cait moaned loudly at his entrance and clutched at his shoulders as he slid all the way in, still loving how full he made her feel as he settled his hips against hers and let her wrap her legs around his waist. Nate's arms wrapped around her body before he pulled slightly out, slowly driving his hips back in, their lips connecting together again as Nate slowly and carefully made love to her, enjoying her nails scratching at his scalp and tugging at his hair with every other thrust. Nate let their pleasure build slowly as they enjoyed the feeling of each other, the slick slide of skin against skin and the gasps and moans of pleasure. Cait's hips moved with Nate's, meeting his with each thrust as he penetrated her, "Fuck, Nate, I don't think I can last much longer." She moaned out causing Nate to stop and lean up, getting a better angle and grip, "Hold tight Cait, I'm close too." Nate shifted his hips against Cait's with more urgency as Cait dug her nails into his arms, her head thrown back as Nate's hips connected harder and faster than before, causing her breasts to swirl on her chest violently with every thrust.

Nate's fingers dug deeply into the flesh of Cait's thigh as sweat dripped from his forehead feeling his end come faster, feeling Cait's cunt tighten up on him more and more before, "OH GOD! NATE!" Cait screamed out as she came, her fingers tearing at his arms as her inner walls squeezed down on his cock hard as she came, pulling Nate over with her as he shot his steaming hot load into her womb, his hips still pumping into her with each shot. Both panted in exhaustion as Nate lowered himself down chest to chest with Cait, her body still quivering at the force of her orgasm, locking their lips together again as he slowly pulled free. Cait felt his seed start oozing from her cunt after he freed himself, she tried to tighten her muscles to keep it from escaping as Nate rolled her to her side and lifted her leg slightly, his still hard cock sliding back in to her cunt before he lowered her leg. Nate's hand teased at the flesh of her chest and stomach as she turned her head to face him, hand reaching up to hold his head as he began to pump back into her with hard thrusts, a moan ripped free from her lips before Nate silenced them with his own. His cock still pounding hard into Cait from behind as he reached down and rubbed her clit again, making her tear her lips away and call out, "Fuck, harder Nate, please!"

Nate silently obliged as his hips began to slap against her ass, his forehead pressed against her shoulder as his hot breath panted against her sweat slicked back, Cait's fingers locked around his wrist as she moaned loudly. Cait's breath came in short gasps as Nate continued to thrust into her before she came with a loud scream, her body quivering in excitement again as she felt Nate's load pouring into her as he bit at her shoulder with a groan. Nate pulled free and rolled her back over to face him and pulled her close, rolling onto his back and panting for air as Cait let her leg drape over his while her hand pressed against his chest feeling his heart pound frantically. Cait's head rested on Nate's bicep, hearing his muscles move as he lowered his hand to lightly stroke his fingers against her arm as he kissed her forehead, his other hand reaching up to hold her wrist, thumb swiping at the back of her hand as he steadied his heartbeat. "I love you," Cait murmured against Nate's skin as she leaned up to kiss his chest as her fingers played with the light dusting of chest hair he had around his scars as Nate raised his head to look at her with a smile, "I love you too," he whispered back letting his lips press against hers before both dropped their heads back down.

Cait could feel Nate's seed trying to escape, but was too tired to stop it, as she pulled herself even closer to Nate, her leg against his as his seed oozed out and ran down the front of her thigh to his. Neither cared and laid there basking in the warm afterglow of their love making, dried droplets of blood cracked on Nate's arm as he stroked his fingertips against Cait's back making her shiver in pleasure. "We need to finish doing shit, but I don't want to leave.", Nate grumbled as he looked over at the bed side table seeing the bracelet X6 brought and raised a hand to grab it. "Nate, what is it?", Cait asked almost ready to sleep as she felt Nate move, "Something I asked Shawn for. If you ever need help, and I'm not there, you use this and see Shawn." He told her as he prepared to slip the bracelet on then stopped, "Will you be my girl for good?" He asked moving his head to look at her, "You know I will Nate," was her reply not really knowing why he would keep asking that as he slipped the silver band over her hand to her wrist, his thumb rubbing the image of the wolf before he clutched at her hand and squeezed.

"We gotta work now don't we Nate?", Cait asked unhappily, Nate only nodded as he untangled himself from Cait but quickly cupped her chin, "We stay together, we kick ass, we go home and never leave bed. Deal?" Cait grinned and leaned up to kiss him, "Deal," they smiled softly at each other as they pulled apart, Cait's hand reaching up to stroke his cheek letting the bracelet slide farther down her wrist. Nate rolled to the edge and stood tall, his arms out stretched over his head as he let his muscles stretch out from the workout he gave them letting Cait bite her lip in desire as she watched them roll and move under his flesh. Cait then stood next to him and bent over, letting him stare at her ass and watch his seed drooling down her leg, Nate touched her back softly and made her look at him. "One day, I hope the question I ask doesn't make you leave me, I hope it lets us get closer," he whispered before giving a soft kiss to her lips before grabbing his pants and pulling them on.

Cait stood naked next to him for a moment before pulling his head against her chest, his head lightly nuzzling in between her breasts, and kissed his forehead, her fingers gently combing through his hair, "I don't think any question you ask will make me leave you Nate," she murmured softly as he wrapped an arm around her waist and squeezed. Nate's hand pressed gently against the middle of Cait's back as he twisted his head to look at her, "I know, but I worry that this is all a dream. That I'll wake up in my bed back in Sanctuary Hills and find that the bombs never fell and Nora and I were still somehow together." Cait stroked a finger down to his chin, "If you're in a dream then so am I. Look, I can't go back to the way things were before we met Nate. I won't." Nate nodded as he stood still holding Cait to him, "You get dressed, I'll be downstairs. No more talk like this," his hand came up and cupped her chin, "You're my only one now as far as I care. I'd die a thousand deaths before I'd live one more day without you in it."

Nate's lips were soft against hers as he gave her another loving kiss, when they broke apart Nate plodded barefooted down the stairs, the sound of metal on metal ringing up soon after as Nate went to his armor workbench again. Cait sighed and pulled her own clothes on before doing the same, stopping at the bottom of the stairs as she heard Nate whistle the tune of an old Irish drinking song. Cait smirked, she knew the melody but not the words and continued to listen stealthily for a while longer, Cait eventually turned the corner and snuck up on Nate, she'd decided to join in now as she knew the next part well. The hammer fell from Nate's grip and onto the workbench, in surprise, at her touch as he spun around to face Cait. Neither stopping the song as they grinned at each other, Nate spun Cait around while she laughed as he hummed more of the tune. Nate couldn't stop himself as he held Cait close as they fell together on the couch, Nate's hand gently cupped Cait's chin as he made her look at him, Cait gave a small grin at that as they kissed again.

Nate and Cait laughed together as the kiss ended, both going silent as Nate pressed his lips to Cait's forehead, "It's official," he whispered as they pulled apart, "You really do have the voice of an angel." "Your teasing me we didn't even sing any of the words," she muttered with a smile as she laid her head against his chest, "Would I lie to you Cait? Your voice was beautiful even if we were only humming, if you where Shawn's mother instead of Nora, you could have easily gotten him to sleep." Cait looked at Nate questioningly, "Nora was horribly tone deaf, poor Shawn had to put up with her voice and she wouldn't understand why I could sing him to sleep and she couldn't." Cait laughed at that, "Then again, being in a band probably helped me out. I could alter my vocals easily and sound like I was the original artist back from the dead singing an old classic." The band hit was new for Cait, well yeah so was Nate being able to even sing but still, "You were in a band?" "I know I don't look it, but I was a beast on the strings." Nate sighed then, "Wish I could find a guitar any guitar, I keep wanting to play an old favorite instrumental song of mine. Would always start all of our gigs with that song, made the bars go wild."

Cait propped herself up over Nate as he remembered some good old times, a small grin plastered on his face, "Maybe while we're out and about we can find one, then you could show me what your remembering." Nate's eyes quickly focused on Cait again, "Deal," Nate's lips pressed against Cait's again before he pulled them both up and off the couch and dragged her to the chem workbench. "These red ones are yours, blue are mine. Try to avoid using mine cause the formula is incredibly strong, I worked my way up to it so it's not deadly to me but it could kill you if you aren't careful." Nate showed the large piles of both he had after digging out the small supply he already had stashed and waiting, Nate then picked up the pink injector, "I don't know how strong this is so really be careful with it, I've never made this before but I've been toying around with the idea for a while." Cait nodded carefully as she stood close to Nate, leaning against him when he didn't move, "Time to get your power armor just right Cait."

Nate's fingers laced with hers as he dragged her down to his two newest sets of power armor, Nate's X-02 armor and Hellfire armor where still as beautiful as the day Nate finished upgrading them, both had a stealth boy unit installed and tesla coil knuckles, Nate had never gotten around to putting a paint job on them until now though, "Pick which one you wanna slaughter in, both are pretty much the same when it comes to the mods." Cait grinned before she hopped in the Hellfire feeling the frame go snug against her body as it closed, "This ones good Nate, let's put the colors on it." Nate smiled knowing she'd pick that armor, and had pre-fixed the frame, he was satisfied he already got it as comfortable as he could for her beforehand, Nate hefted the cans of paint over and painted away.

When Nate finished Cait was wrapped inside the Hellfire armor, the Killpocalypse army colors on the chest piece and Nate's favorite digital black camouflage on the head, arms and legs. Nate stepped back and appreciated his work as the paint dried, "You look like an absolute bad ass babe," he said approvingly as Cait hopped back out a grin on her face as she jumped into Nate's arms. "This is gonna be so much fun Nate, let's do yours now!" Cait was excited as she helped Nate with his own armor, adding the same paint job that he had put on Cait's, both stepped back and looked at their power armor sets sitting side by side, grease and dirt covering their arms and Nate's chest.
