He was fast asleep when something heavy leapt on top of him, straddling his hips.

With a soft growl, Nathan opened his eyes and found the cause for his early awakening smiling down at him; his head tilted to one side as he wore a thoughtful expression on his face.

When it came to Toki Wartooth; thoughtful expressions were often dangerous.

"Na'tan?" Toki asked.

"Yes, Toki?" Nathan sighed, resting his hands on the younger man's hips to hold him steady.

"Would yous…love mes forevers?"

"Toki, I promised you this all ready."

"Ja, Is knows but…"

"What's wrong, Toki?"

"What if yous was Immortal?"

Nathan stared.

"And coulds live forevers?" Toki explained.

"Toki, why are you asking me this?"

"And Is was nots?" Toki added, a faint tremble in his voice as his lower lip quivered.

Smiling up at him gently; Nathan chuckled as he pulled Toki down into a tight hug.

"I would find a way to make you Immortal too." He promised.

"You woulds?" he sniffled, resting his head over his heart.

"Of course." He laughed softly. "Being Immortal would be the bad kind of brutal without you."

Smiling up at him; Toki's eyes watered up as he kissed the singer deeply before putting his head back down on his chest.

"I loves yous, Na'tan."

"I love you too, Toki."

There was a pause and then…

"…Na'tan?"

"Yes, Toki?"

"What if Is was a slave and yous was a mightys warrior?"
