#nnnate

After highschool Nate goes to Castelia U, majoring in Pokemon Habitats and Environments (?????), for his final year he goes to Hoenn because he's always wanted to do one of his outdoor research projects yoyoyooyooo 

If there's a professor Nate respects most it's Birch 

ok 

in ten years he'd be 25? I think he's interning at the Season Research Lab 

i can't see him dating anyone but yeah he's been on dates and stuff 

it's hard for me to see nate dating anyone because he's had those two big crushes on like elesa and blue so now what. They're gone 

where the older women at 

I wouldnt be surprised if Nate saw hika on tv like when she becomes champ and he's like 

Nate: I'm acclimated to my environment, it's only natural that I do better! I'm gonna lose the retainer, pick up a few clubs

Nate: plus, I think I can do this year's impossible--

me: get a girlfriend

Nate: get a girl--! oh hey! Yeah!

me:

me: plans???

nate: uh??? Can you write a card to someone who you have a crush on?? 'Cause I wanna write one! I've been working a, ahah, a poem that compares Blue to a flower--it was kinda awkw..ard talking about the stamens but--

me: Okay. Don't do that. Give up on that, actually. Tear it up and throw it away and go out and catch some bug types instead.

nate: but I--

me: next

Copycat: I bought cards for my friends!

me: ya don't have any

Copycat: (sticks tongue out at me) I'm gonna make some in time, don't worry!!

me: next

A rumble is heard from another room.

Kris emerges, walks past the circle of characters, mumbles something incoherently and goes into the kitchen.

all: ...

Archer: I'll be celebrating in solitude, actually, I won't be participating in any romantic activities.

Kris: (calls from the other room) CAAAAANDIIIICE

Archer: (visibly flinches)

Snickering is heard from the kitchen. Nate looks increasingly unhappy.

me: .....shizzy

Copycat: Smiley swimsuit's at the gym, you oughta know that. He's been working hard lately~~~~

me: I'm not even gonna bother asking Jeanne, so, kuuhuhhhhhrIRIIIISsstEEeEE N N n n n

Kris: (returns from the kitchen, stops and looks at the lot before contorting her face into a spited expression of utter displeasure. She then retreats to her room.)

all: ...

me: love you too.

He thought to take the first with him, but at the last moment left it behind. Took a bonsai with him. 

Nate still goes to the academy. Try looking for him in the bio lab, or on Saturday mornings, he may be found knee-deep in itchy grass in Pinwheel Forest.

He faded into social obscurity. He keeps to himself. 

And he's friends with her and she with him

But he asks her out all the time and every time he gets rejected, but he's really cool with it and is just like, "Hey, 43rd time's the charm!" 

and she says "GO HOME ROGER" or whatever idk 

Yeah 

I think it'd be done just really nonchalantly and even almost jokingly

"Nate, can I copy your bio lab?" "Sure. Let's go out."

Maybe

e_e

I wonder how many homeworks he let her copy, how many group projects he picked up the slack in...

They went to middle school together and did some classes together but he ... was different then snort he was Nerd Boy kinda
