Not harassing Nathan [Joule, Phoenix]

"Sure there aaare." He grinned up at Nathan. "Uuse your imagination."

He waved his hand at the ceiling, creating small spots of light resembling stars. Because of course using more of his powers is the reasonable thing to do and he is a responsible adult.

He just needed a rest. Maybe some sleep. But he could do this; the fact that he had managed to create the black hole in the first place proved that it was entirely possible.

So now there were stars. Nathan frowned, shaking his head.

"Stop using your powers, dumbo. You're going to knock yourself out," Nathan said, pouting. And Nathan didn't know where anything was, or what to do if Joule did pass out. Was there a bed around just for such an event? This was Joule, he probably always had a bed within two hundred feet of him at all times. What was he even thinking? "Come on, we need to get you somewhere to rest. You'll ruin your back laying on this floor."

"The rooms are over there..." Joule pointed to a general direction, still admiring the stars. "Honestly... don't... worry... I'm just..." A yawn, "tiiired... It's cool it's cooool..."

Despite his claims that he was alright, Joule showed no signs of being capable to actually get up and make his way to said rooms. He felt quite light-headed, and at the moment was more than happy just blissfully lying there on the floor.

Well, Nathan wasn't just going to let Joule lay there on the floor and get all stiff and sore. It was bad enough that the other had exhausted himself using his powers. Nathan knew just how terrible that felt, and sore muscles on top would just be a living hell.

"Hold on," he said, sliding an arm under Joule's shoulders and beneath his legs, picking the other up bridal style. It was a good thing that he had been blessed with enhanced strength, since it probably would have been difficult otherwise to start to carry Joule in the vague direction of the room's.

Are you implying I am too fat to carry

"Mmm, my Prince~" Joule chuckled, sliding an arm around Nathan's neck to better steady himself, not hiding how much he was enjoying himself.

He'd never really been carried before. Not since his parents. He'd never put himself in such a vulnerable position. He worked alone, and he took care of himself. He didn't need help, and he definitely didn't want anyone to see him in such a weak state. Yet he didn't feel nervous or uncomfortable as Nathan carried him to the rooms. He felt calm, as if everything was okay. And he felt excited, because damn, he'd just created a black hole.

Not fat. Muscle weighs more than fat. Just wonderfully not fat and wonderfully fit.

"Prince, eh? Bit overdone, but I suppose I can live with that," Nathan mused as he found one of the rooms with a bed in it. He didn't know if there was a specific room that Joule had wanted to be placed in, didn't really care. Joule needed to get ome rest and Nathan didn't want to carry him for too long under the chance that he might be hurt even more by the joustling.

Gently, he set him down on the bed, taking great care to make sure he didn't just drop Joule suddenly. He really was worried that he might accidentally hurt the other. Joule had used a lot of power, and Nathan wasn't sure how it would affect the other's health.

Joule didn't care about which room he was placed in. All he cared about was that there was a bed, and a pillow, and Nathan, and also black hole. Not much could bother him in life right about now.

"Mmm... stay here," eyes already closed, a half-asleep Joule tugged Nathan by the arm onto the bed with him, cuddling up to him like a little puppy.

(omg I'm back from the dead)

Well, it looked like Nathan didn't really get much of a say in this, as he found himself suddenly on the bed with Joule clinging to him. Nathan blinked slightly, looking at the other in a kind of astonishment. He must have been really tired. At least, that was the only way Nathan could understand what had just happened.

He glanced up at the dark ceiling, wondering if it was still light out. It didn't matter though. He was away from the sun. He could probably fall asleep right now, so he figured he may as well try. He didn't want to accidentally disturb Joule's sleep by trying to sneak off of the bed. Though he was wary of what would happen once Joule woke up and was in a better state of mind. The only time they had really ever slept within the same proximity, Joule had left the pile of cuddles sometime during the night. But Joule was the one who insisted he join him, and then pulled him to the bed--

Nathan wasn't sure if he'd be able to sleep, so he relented himself to his thoughts. Joule did look kind of cute though. He would keep that thought to himself.

(yay!)
