"I love you when you're complicated," Nathaniel says lightly, approaching him and moving to put his arms around him. "It's not wrong to be ambitious or passionate. You get complicated because you care so much about so many things, and that's good. And I think I'm good at cheering you up, most of the time. And I like doing that. I like being the one who makes you feel better when it all gets complicated. I like that you're something of a riddle sometimes. It keeps me challenged, and I like riddles."
