Sugar Buddy A fanfiction for the new Amazon Prime Series: Upload
Nathan thought back to earlier in the day when Luke had rushed over and said if he found the egg and won the money, he would be Nathan's sugar daddy and pay for his stay here at Lakeview by Horizen. He had been surprised and the confusion on his face had caused Luke to blurt out that he didn't want anything "weird" from Nathan. Then he'd run off to find the prize and Nathan had gone off a different way looking for it as well. Of course the least needy of all the residents, Mr. Choak, had been the one to find it! Later that evening, Nathan couldn't relax because of everything going on. He had tried to take a nap, but after tossing and turning for an hour, he climbed out of bed and padded out the door of his apartment and into the hallway. He was restless, and his mind was going a mile a minute. His thoughts went from Ingrid, to Jamie, to his mother, and to Nora and what she'd told him about the update. Then his mind turned to what Luke had said earlier and he smiled involuntarily. Just then he realized that he had actually wandered to Luke's room. He didn't know if he should knock on the door. He knew that Luke would probably be happy to see him. He was nothing if not enthusiastic in his pursual of friendship with Nathan. Before he could make up his mind, the door swung open, and a jeans and t-shirt clad Luke was there. A smile on his lips. "Come on in! I was just going to go to the dining hall for a snack because I'm bored, but you're better than a snack! I mean- you're more interesting than food!" He grinned even wider than when he'd opened the door. Nathan couldn't stop from grinning right back. He entered Luke's place and looked around. There was a big plush blanket spread haphazardly on the oversized couch and Luke had a fire going. The lights were low and the flames made everything warm and inviting. Luke looked at Nathan and a concerned expression spread across his face. "Are you OK?" I know it's been a rough few days. I know I didn't win the prize, but hell man, I have enough money that I could at least help you with meals or something." Nathan felt a wave of affection flow over himself towards the other young man. "Luke, I appreciate what you tried to do for me today. And I totally can't thank you enough for being the friend you've been to me since I got here. I want you to know that." Luke was absolutely beaming now. He grabbed Nathan by the shoulders and led him over to the couch. He lightly pushed Nathan down onto it and then hunkered down next to him. As he tugged an unresisting Nathan against his side, he turned his head to face him and said "Look, I'm not rich enough to be your Sugar Daddy, but I could be your Sugar Buddy! And cuddling's not weird, right?" Nathan turned to face Luke , looked into his eyes, and said, "Nope. Not weird at all!" and leaned his head against Luke's shoulder as Luke pulled the blanket over them both.
So Roman (Chris Meloni) may be Steve's vampire Daddy!I hope they have a flashback of the turning and laying in the ground together. If you know what I'm sayin'. And I think you do...
Here's how we find out this info in tonight's episode, Roman is leaning over Steve and talking right in his face and says:
"Right now this council is the only thing preventing a civil war. That is why I made you Steven. If for whatever reasons our sources are unable to bring Russell Edgington in quietly and he winds up on the TV threatening to eat children, I will need a friendly , trustworthy, vampire mainstreamer, who knows how to work a crowd."
Edited because many places say Roman said "That is why I need you Steven". But is so, that was the weirdest sounding "need" I've heard. :-D
