[ And it is; it'll open for Lestat's touch, although anyone else would find themselves denied.
Nate's waiting outside, with a small jewellery box in hand. Honestly, this had taken longer than he'd thought; he'd underestimated the complexity. But it's done now. ]
[It's a sign of how eager Lestat had been to come over. He's wearing a pair of tight jeans and a shirt left hanging open. He's not even wearing shoes. Obviously he had just been relaxing when he got the text.
Hair a little wild from flying, he pads his way over to Nate, eyes locked on the box.]
Don't keep me in suspension. Show me, you wicked thing.
[ He's kept him waiting long enough. Nate smiles, particularly at the sight of that open shirt. Perfect. He's made just the thing for that space.
He opens the box to show Lestat the contents.
It's a gold necklace, with three pendants fixed - one to fall over his heart, and two that will rest on his collar bones. The metal wraps around the stones to hold them in place. As for the stones themselves...
It's difficult to say what their base colour is. Every varied angle that the light hits them makes a different one shine through. When he first opens the box, one looks blue and the others look purple. Then, as he lifts it and moves it, a whole rainbow cycles through; pink, turquoise, red, orange, green, violet. They shift in the light, always moving, the fire inside them never seeming to stand still. Some of the colours don't even have names.
Nate watches Lestat closely. ]
They're diamonds. I treated them in this potion for...a long time. And then spelled them. Do you like?
[He goes so still as he takes in the beauty of the piece. Nate hasn't even revealed what it does yet but Lestat loves it. In a breath, he's come closer to run his fingers over the pendants, entranced by how the fire in them changes. Cycles and shifts and...]
They're diamonds? They won't stop changing colors.
[It's safe to say Nate's done an amazing job with this one.]
Diamonds are best. They're strong. Another gem might shatter with what I do to it.
[ He smiles, still watching. Then he comes forward, and touches each of the gems in turn. ]
This one saps your strength. It'll make you vulnerable. Almost human. It'll let you feel shattered, wrecked. You twist it, yeah? In its little cage.
[ Which is why it's set that way. ]
Clockwise means on. Anti-clockwise means off. You can do it yourself, or trust a partner.
[ He moves on to the other shoulder stone. ]
This one keeps you from coming. You could be so hard it hurts, desperate for it. But you won't come, ever, until your partner lets it happen. Always on the edge. And this one...
[ He touches the bottom jewel, the one that goes over his heart. ]
It makes you come, whether you want it or not. You could've just shot a load that drained you, but twisting this makes it happen again. And again. And again.
[ He's come close now, right up against Lestat's body. ]
So you're wherever I want you. The three work together.
[His eyes follow the path his hand takes. Mentally he knows there's very few he will give this kind of power to. Being helpless and at the mercy of others isn't something he likes except with a choice few.
Nate just happens to be one of them.
And so he smiles down at him. Tilting his head to the side, he watches then lifts his arms up so he can lift his hair up to make it easier to put it on him.]
Prove it.
[Yes. He wants to see for himself. Right here. Right now.]
[There's more? Lestat drops his hair and notes the second box like a curious puppy. Staying put but leaning to try and get a better look. When he sees the ring, he smiles. Then quickly switches that to surprise.]
Really? The sun won't burn me if I wear this ring?
[Playful as he's been about the necklace, it's clear that the ring means so much more to him. As much as he loves being a creature of the night, there are actually times he misses the sunlight.
[ Nate's aware of the seriousness of this part. Most of his charms are toys. Toys made with diamonds, but toys all the same. Matt Murdock's already got him thinking of what more they might be able to do, but this...
This is for someone important. Someone who'd talked about himself, his desires, his dreams, pretty extensively in his books. Lestat hadn't asked for this, not really. But his books had.
Nate touches his hand. ]
It won't. The stone's a shield. Best sunblock in the world. You can step in the light. When you want to, obviously.
[His fingers curl around the hand touching his own. It's rare he gets so touched by gifts these days. Not because he never gets anything meaningful, he does. But this...
Lestat pulls him in for a kiss, cupping his face with his other hand, the one not holding one of Nate's.]
[ Nate leans into it, kissing him back. There's some relief in his posture, some tension that seems to have eased.
Because those books had asked for this, he'd been sure of that. He'd been less sure if interference would be wanted, if maybe he was stepping outside of his box.
His smile breaks into a grin when their lips part. ]
If you keep saying that, I'm going to start believing it. I'm sorry I made you wait so long.
[Well that makes him pout those full lips. Nate doesn't believe him? Though really he just sees that as a challenge. Something he'll have to prove to him. Good thing he's got plenty of time on his hands.
[ It's not Lestat's fault. Nate's had exactly one person love him in his entire life. It seems impossible that someone could know him here for just a couple of months, and feel so strongly.
But he meets Lestat's eyes, and reads the seriousness in them. Nate touches his cheek. ]
To be honest, I'm not even sure you're real. I dunno how you could be. Come here.
[ He pulls him down, which, naturally is more like he pulls himself up. He kisses him soundly, and winds his arms around him. He'll kiss that pout away. ]
[Being told he might not be real honestly just makes him laugh into the kiss. Of course he does reach back to fetch the jewelry box, wrapping an arm around Nate's waist before breaking the kiss.]
Ah-ah. Make me yours with that ring and then I'll let you do whatever you like tonight. Then I'm saying here to see how it works in the morning.
[Seeing a sunrise in this body without pain, in the arms of a lover...
[ Nate brightens. It's already late - you have to keep different hours when you're delivering to vampires - but even so, he hadn't expected that. He grins, and takes the ring to put it on Lestat's finger. Like with the necklace, he'll feel a certain kind of energy surrounding it. There's power in that stone, even more than in the necklace.
Nate smiles, and looks up at him. ]
Come with me.
[ He takes his hand, and then leads him into his bedroom. There's power here, too, with several self-heating cauldrons bubbling away in various parts of the room. There's also books everywhere, scattered because he wasn't expecting to entertain in here tonight. ]
Sorry about the mess. I...
[ He looks up. ]
I dunno how to deal with you, Lestat. I've never met someone like you.
[Naturally, someone looks over to see what is in the cauldrons and also glances at the books. Does he mind the mess? Not right now. Maybe he will another day and offer to clean it but for now? He doesn't give a damn.
When he feels those pretty eyes on him again, he looks back to him. Then laughs.]
Like me?
[Oh sure he can piece together what that means all on his own. He's really very intelligent and good at reading people if he feels like it. But, he loves hearing people say the words even more.]
[ There's more stones in those cauldrons. Most of them are shiny black diamonds, a match for the studs in Nate's ears. Some are different colours. Nate pulls his t-shirt off, tossing it aside. His left nipple and his navel are both pierced with more black studs. ]
You're intense. Romantic. You say these things that no one else would mean, but you mean them. You're serious.
[ He comes closer again, and reaches to tug Lestat by his shirt. ]
Plus, have you seen you? You're so fucking sexy. Like supernaturally sexy. But that seems really shallow compared to the rest.
[He laughs and traces cool fingers along Nate's skin, pointedly circling the piercings. After all, they're so lovely on him. And he can't help but wonder what enchantments they have.
[ That's what he means by romantic. It's unfair, quite frankly. He says those last three words and Nate's heart just skips right over. He wets his lip and looks up, eyes intent on Lestat's. ]
I see you.
[ His fingers run down Lestat's shirt, opening the buttons so that he can see that beautiful expanse of marble muscle. His hands slide in around his waist, spreading warmth over his skin.
Reaching up, he touches the stone on the necklace that raises arousal and he turns it, just a little. ]
[ Nate smiles, and runs his hand down Lestat's body. He slides it over his growing cock, even though he knows it won't need that encouragement. He just wants to feel it move. ]
Well, we're only starting.
[ His fingers twist, and there's no more slow, gentle test of the jewel. He cranks it all up the way; sudden and immediate arousal, that's what he wants. Lestat is so much stronger than him. He's never been able to truly control him before.
[The vampire cries out as he sudden feeling of arousal overwhelms him. It floods his system and damn near makes his knees buckle. Panting for air he doesn't really need, he does indeed go over to the bed. And he drags Nate with him.
Once there, he presses a kiss to his lips, pushes his fingers into his hair. He's turned on and demanding. And clearly ready to have so much more.
Submission though?
Well let's just say it's a good thing Nate enjoys how bratty he is.]

It feels weightless, but it gives off a strange kind of energy. Magic is thrumming through it. It's almost like it's alive. ]
There's one more thing, first.
[ He takes a second, smaller box from his back pocket. When he opens it, there's a ring inside, set with a stone that matches the necklace completely.
Nate's a little hesitant, now, but he shows it to him all the same. ]
The sun still hurts you, yeah? This'll stop it. If you want to go out in it, without the pain. I know it's not a sex thing, but...
[ He shrugs. ]
Plus, it matches the necklace.

Once there, he presses a kiss to his lips, pushes his fingers into his hair. He's turned on and demanding. And clearly ready to have so much more.
