Respect Nathan and apologise for the kiss
From Create Your Own Story
The clarity that comes to you finally is like shards of crystal building like lego blocks. Suddenly you notice what you're doing, that you were taking advantage of someone you cared about deeply. His eyes were blown with lust and need but they darted around the room looking everywhere but you.
You step back, feeling a mix of guilt and disappointment in yourself. You had let your desires cloud your judgment and hurt someone you cared about.
"We shouldn't...I'm - sorry." He matches your step away, bumping against the counter and side-stepping closer to the tap. He swallows a deep breath and looks away, and with that clarity spilling over you, you you can't help but feel like a monster. You can see him trembling, his shoulders shaking as he tries to will the desire from his body. He's so close to giving in but he won't let himself. His entire body is begging for it but he just can't do it. You know it's the potion doing this to him, and you nearly forced him into something you know would have been laced with regret afterward.
Finally, after what feels like forever, Nathan composes himself, his face hardening as he looks at you. "What the hell was that?" He snaps, his voice filled with anger and hurt.
"I...I don't know," You mumble, unable to meet his eyes.
He scoffs, shaking his head in disbelief "I - Was telling you no"
"Nathan -"
"Save it," Nathan says, turning to leave
You hold up your hands in surrender, a gesture of understanding and panic. The heat between your legs is still slowly crawling to every part of you you wish he was touching. Despite the ache, you try to apologize properly.
"Nathan please, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me - I shouldn't have done that to you" You are almost choking on your own words.
You both stand there awkwardly for a moment, his back to you showing the tensing of his shoulders, until finally Nathan breaks, turning back around "I think...maybe we should just get that water".
You nod, embarrassed, and a little humiliated. You can't believe you made such a chaotic situation so much worse ...
The water barely helps. Whatever is in your system seems to not want to shift.
"D- dammit" Nathan mumbles to himself from beside you, his own cold water in his hand.
