     "So we're just going to break into someone's house on Christmas Eve?" You ask strapping into your seat with the rest of the team.

"Yeah, like Santa." You give a "very funny" look towards Jax who just chuckles.

"Keith would've thrown a Christmas banquet for Washington and his men." Nate sat down in front of you explaining the perfect time and place to jump to.

"Ooh, secret mission on Christmas Eve?"

"Congratulations Mick, you just became a private in the U.S. Army. Nate, Amaya, you two will pose as wealthy newlyweds eager to make a contribution to the revolutionary cause." WHAT?! You were thankful for a moment that you sat in the back behind everyone else, so they didn't see your fuming expression. You didn't want to be jealous of Amaya, you just couldn't help. She was gorgeous! But you liked Nate, a lot more than you'd want to admit. You crossed your arms and leaned back in your chair trying to calm down. Sara had to just put him and her together. Like seriously why couldn't she-.

"(Y/N)? Did you hear me?" Sara turned her head to look at you and you snapped your attention towards her.

"Huh? What? Oh, sorry, I spaced out."

"You and I will be main lookout for Washington. If you find him, try and lure him out then alert us."

"Aye-aye captain." You slump back again as the Waverider takes off. You think about just giving up on your feelings for Nate, because you can't compete with Amaya.

~Timeskip~

Everyone's in their position at the party and you try your best to stay focused. Your eyes wander every now and then to Amaya and had hands holding onto Nates arm. But you'd quickly avert your eyes back to the party trying to find Washington. You make your way back to Sara and stand with her.

"See anything yet?"

"Nope."

"This is taking longer than expected. Hey why were you so out of it earlier?"

"Oh, me? No reason."

"Right. It's not because I teamed Nate and Amaya." Shit. Nothing escapes Sara's power of observation.

"Why would I care about that?"

"Because you have a thing for him."

"I don't have a thing for him."

"You can't lie to me (Y/N). I have known you longer than anyone else so I know how you act around guys you like."

"Is now really the best time to talk about this Sara."

"No, but you know damn well we're going to talk about it after this mission is over." You walk away from Sara ignoring the smug face she's giving you. God do you hate when she's right.

Unbeknownst to you though is Nates eyes watching you the whole time. Worried about you after your sudden change in mood. But he knew he had to stick to the plan, at least for now.

~Timeskip Again~

Everything's went to shit, as usual with the legends. Sara was shot by evil Rip so you, Jax, and Stein helped bring her back to the Waverider to have Gideon fix her. Except power in the entire ship was out thanks to the Legion of Doom. Ray was stuck in tiny mode. Mick and Washington were taken by evil Rip. And Nate and Amaya went to save them. Yaaaay.

You weren't even thinking about Nate alone with Amaya the whole night. You were just worried about Sara, who you stayed with the whole time. You were going to seriously hurt Rip next time you saw him, evil or not. You unfortunately didn't get the chance since he knocked you out after boarding the ship.

You couldn't contact any of the team off the ship so you had to trust they were alright. But it had been hours, so you got nervous after you woke up. But you had awoken to Sara being all right, which you were thankful for. And after awhile the rest of the team returned.

"Are you all alright? What happened?"

"Me and Washington became best buds." Mick walked past all of you immediately heading for the kitchen. Well, you'd expect nothing less.

"We didn't mean to take so long. It's just me and Nate were ambushed by Hessians and he fell into a freezing cold river. We had camped for the night so I could warm him up and prevent his hypothermia from furthering."

"What?" You're eyes switched between Nate and Amaya, having already deduced what happened afterwards. "Well, so long as you both are alright. Excuse me." You walk away to your room to finally relieve yourself of these awful colonial garments. Trying to push away the stinging of hurt in your chest.

You all got more comfortable and decided to have Christmas dinner together, since everything worked out in the end. There was a tree and streamers set up, making the area around you seem even more like a home than before. You sat with Sara while laughing, eating, and enjoying the night as best you could. Sara helped cheer you up by giving you a present and it definitely helped.

You stood up from the table to go grab a gift you forgot for the professor in your room. But after exiting the kitchen, you're stopped by a voice calling to you. "Hey (Y/N)."

You turn to see Nate standing outside the doorway with his hands in his pocket. "Oh, hi Nate."

"Have you been...avoiding me?"

"What? No I-...sorry, I didn't meant to make you think that."

"Then why have you refused to look at me? Why did you leave immediately after I showed up? Did I do or say something because I'd really hate myself if I hurt you somehow." Nate slowly stepped closer, almost as if he were asking for your permission to do so.

"I don't know what you're talking about Nate, we had a mission to do yesterday. That was my top priority." Don't. You were hoping he wouldn't press any further.

"But even at dinner now you haven't even acknowledge me. You can tell me anything, really."

"Nate stop."

"Did something happen while I was gone?"

"No."

"If it wasn't me then what was it?"

"Stop!"

"I just want to make sure that you're ok and know why you won't talk to me!"

"It's because I like you, you idiot!" You slam your hand over your mouth in shock. Nates eyes widen with shock as he processes what he just heard.

     "You like me?" You turn away so that you aren't facing him.

     "Yes, I have for awhile now. But I know how you feel about Amaya."

     "You mean how I think of her as a friend?"

     "A friend?" You can sense Nate move closer behind you and put his hand on your shoulder.

     "Yeah, I mean she's from the past, she's a queen of her village, and she's way too serious for me. You on the other hand, are amazing, funny, kind, and beautiful." You blush at Nates compliment as he turns you around. You stare up into his eyes and can't help but smile. Nate leans down and places his lips on yours, holding you close and not wanting to let go. You melt into him and lose all sense as your mind focus on the big-hearted man in front of you. And you wouldn't want it any other way.
