Nathaniel “Nat” Jang

Joel was in his wing of the palace relaxing after spending the day with Jacib overseeing the new Knight trainees. He had his easel out as he looked out the window overlooking the garden, his paintbrush against the canvas as he painted what he saw. A sudden bright light and thud startled him, making him jump and mess up the stroke he was making with his brush. Turning to look, the eldest prince was shocked to see that he was no longer alone in his art studio. The most beautiful man he had ever seen stood in the spot that was once empty mere seconds before. "Goodness, you startled me." He laughs "But who are you and why are you in my studio?" He asks, genuinely confused.

"I'll chase you this time if you run. I'm not letting you get away this time, pretty." Tanner says kissing his soulmate. "Let's get our son and go home." He says softly.

Nat nods his head sleepily as he stood up and snapped his fingers to replace the clothes that Tanner had ripped off him earlier and heading inside to grab Dakota before they headed to their new home with Tanner where they were meant to be all along.

Tanner caresses Nat's cheek and kisses him deeply. "We don't have to get married right now, pretty. I would rather marry you for love not to prove that you're not leaving." He says honestly. "When you're ready. But for now, I want to be with you and for you to be with only me. Exclusively. All in." He says "Can you do that, Nat?"

The smaller man looked at Tanner with wet lashes as he hears him speak, listening to his proposal as he nods slowly. “I can try my best, running away these last six Months and coming back made me realize there’s no one I’d rather be with than you Tanner. You’re my soulmate and I really always for us to work in the long run without my fears ruining it.” He says snuggling more into the man as he inhaled his scent, eyes feeling droopy.

Nat gripped Tan like a vice, milking him of every last drop as he moans in the kiss as he came weakly again around him. “All yours I promise. Me, you and Dakota. I’ll move here permanently and start a new life here with you. Show me I’m wrong about my opinion about commitment. I want to be able to love you in the way you deserve to be loved.”

Tanner's eyes darkened at the seductive look on his soulmate's face when he suggested they share a bed and rekindle in the cabana. Tanner steps closer, licking his lips. "Are you trying to seduce me, my soulmate?" He says, caressing the other man's face. "I may not be able to trust you just yet but I cannot resist you either." He purrs before closing the distance and kissing him deep and hard, pouring all of the hurt and longing that he had been feeling over the last 6 months into the kiss before standing and dragging the effeminate Fae into the cabana by the pool. "Punish you huh? How do you suggest i do that?" He smirks once inside the cabana, shoving Nat down onto the lounge and kissing him again.

Nat whimpered into the rough kiss, kissing him back as he tried to keep up with the other before being dragged to the cabana. He bit his lip and looks up at him, feeling aroused at the idea of the man touching him again. “Anything you wish to do daddy, the sky’s the limit. You can hurt me, deny me orgasms, spank me, anything your heart desires til you seem like I’ve had enough.”

Tanner tried not to break when the other man hugged him, deciding to just hug him back and wipe his tears. "You know. I shouldn't forgive you but...but I can't help myself but to forgive you. But you're going to have to earn my trust." He says before sighing "Im not going to cast my soulmate and son out into the streets no matter how upset and hurt I am by you. I have room, you can both stay with me." He offers "I'll convert the guest room into a nursery and my home office into another bedroom."

Nay was grateful his soulmate forgave him and gave them a place to stay. He smiles at Tanner while wiping his tears before listening more. “No need to convert your office and give it up, we’re soulmates, I would feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed as you. It’ll give us time to reconnect.” He says as he looked up at Tanner. “In fact we could do a little rekindling in the cabana, punish me for being a bad soulmate, pound out all your anger.” He suggested while biting his lip.

Tanner sighs and runs his hand through his hair. "I don't trust you. Not right now. You hurt me more than I care to admit. I let my guard down and you stomped all over my heart when you left and then you kept my son from me." He said "But you're my soulmate and Dakota is my son so I want to try." He says "i will wait for you but I can't promise I'll wait forever." He says though he knows it's a lie and he would wait if Nat asked him to no matter how much it hurt.

“I’m sorry.” Nat whispered, tears now falling down his face at the guilt he’s been holding onto for so long. He was relieved that the other was willing to coparent with him while they sorted out their relationship but in that moment Nat somewhat had hope. He stood up and hugged Tanner, not deserving any ounce of sympathy or respect as he clings onto him while he sobbed. “I’m so fucking sorry Tanner” he hiccups before pulling away. “The other thing is that umm. Dakota and I don’t really have a place to stay and I don’t wanna depend on Sera now that Joel and Jacob are home along with Luca and Malik having Kendall. It’s chaos in there. So umm, can we stay with you?”

"How long were you planning to lay low here before finding me again?" Tanner asks "If I hadn't come to deliver Luca and Malik's son would you have even sought me out, Nat?" He snaps "What do you want from me? How do I know you aren't going to run again and keep my son away from me for 6 more months? Years?" He practically growls.

Nat swallowed thickly, a lump now forming in his throat as he let out a shuttered breath. “I know you don’t believe me but I was gonna find you soon. I just didn’t know id be doing it as soon as I arrived.” He says quietly his voice cracking. His stomach churned in knots, feeling the anxiety bubble up even more as he opened his mouth. “I don’t know exactly what I want, I…” he thinks thoroughly not wanting to say the wrong things and make Tanner even more mad. “I want Dakota to have his father in his life. I don’t know where my feelings are from a romantic viewpoint but I know you’re my soulmate and I accept it. I want us to at least raise our child together and if you want me to stay, I will this time. I know you don’t trust me right now but please if not for me then for our son, he needs you too.”

Tanner sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I guess I should start with why Nat?" He asks "You know we are soulmates and you left anyway and even though it killed me to stay away from you, I didnt go look for you because you made it clear you didnt want me to when you left in the middle of the night without a word. But you kept my son from me. I know how fast Fae grow in 6 months, I missed so much." He says, his normally soft spoken nature going out the window as his voice raised to reflect his anger, hurt and betrayal. "So why Nat? Why did you run from me?" He spat.

“You knew the day you met me that I wasn’t looking for anything serious.” Nat starts off softly, looking up at the man. “That day when I found out we were soulmates that terrified me because I knew you wanted commitment and that wasn’t something I was willing to give just yet so I ran. But then I found out I was pregnant and I could’ve came back yeah but I thought to myself this was another commitment. Raising Dakota these past few months made me realize a lot. A lot about myself, my views on things, my integrity as a person. I realize I’ve been Lying to my followers on social media about my life lately and hiding Dakota is becoming harder living in LA so I came here to lay low for a while. I also wanted to talk to you too but when I was ready because I know no matter what explanation I give you, it doesn’t justify me hurting you by running away and I apologize for that. I’m truly sorry for breaking your heart because I was too much of a coward to commit to something serious. I know you’re angry with me for running and keeping our son from you.”

Tanner froze when Nat said that Tanner was their child, that he had a son. "6 months Nat." The doctor says, trying to keep his tone calm, but he was hurt and a bit upset by the news. "I'm not doing this with an audience." He says after a moment. "Come. You have some explaining to do." He says before walking out back.

Nat sighs before handing Dakota to Sera and following Tanner towards the back, towards the pool area. He knows 6 months is a long time, he feels guilty for just taking off without a word, but what’s done was done and now they have a kid. It was natural for the man to run away from how he felt but he could feel Tan’s emotions as he sat and waited, heart stammering even more as the silence continues. He swallowed thickly avoiding eye contact voice barely coming to a whisper. “I’m here now let’s talk”

"You..." Tanner starts, at a loss for words upon seeing his soulmate again for the first time since he left. "How long are you here? Should I expect you to leave again?" He asks but before Nat could answer, Dakota whined in the playpen making Tanner look over and see the small child alongside Corinne and Rosie. "You....he's yours?"

Nat swallowed before standing up to grab Dakota, ignoring tanner’s jab at him with the first question. “Yes, but he’s not just my child. He’s our child. Our Son Dakota.” He says softly, averting his gaze to the little boy. He felt his anxiety flare up knowing that he had to talk to the other eventually but he just wasn’t ready.

Tanner checked over Luca and Kendall again one more time before heading back downstairs. The closer he got to the living room, Tanner felt his soulmate mark tingle and felt off. He had been burying himself in work since Nat left, hoping to forget that Nat just left him after their rendezvous but the beautiful Fae was never far from his thoughts. He put on a smile as he entered the living room. "Little Kendall Jeon has....." He trailed off when he saw Nat. "Nat?" He breathes out in shock.

Nat froze upon hearing Tanner’s voice, he turned to look at the doctor before looking down, heart beating erratically in his chest as he twiddled his thumbs. “Yeah” he says quietly, hoping the ground would lowkey swallow him right in this moment as the awkward tension in the air arose.
