The Heartbeats of the Hidden Actors Chapter 64

After receiving the third and formal engagement ring, Ethan Smith moved to Nathan Drake's house. He didn't think this was "living together". In his heart, from now on until his death, Nathan Drake's side was home.

The two of them went to the studio together in the morning and went home together in the evening. They were together all day long, but Ethan Smith did not feel that he had lost his freedom.

During breaks, Nathan Drake likes to read books and watch movies, and Ethan Smith always accompanies him. The two of them also discuss things. Ethan Smith usually doesn't think as deeply as Nathan Drake does, but Nathan Drake never dislikes anything. Nathan Drake is very clear that he and Ethan Smith are two different people, with completely different experiences and personalities, but he just loves him very much.

In the middle of the night, the two always K!ssed, made love, and then fell asleep in each other's arms. In fact, Ethan Smith was not very used to having someone else in bed, but because the "other person" was his lover, he tried his best to adapt. Occasionally, when he really couldn't fall asleep, he would gently kick Nathan Drake, and Nathan Drake would go to the second bedroom with his eyes half closed and sleep in a daze. When Ethan Smith couldn't fall asleep, he liked to toss and turn around and find the most comfortable position, but if there was someone around him, he didn't dare to toss and turn, so he couldn't fall asleep, a vicious cycle. At first, Ethan Smith wanted to go to the second bedroom by himself, but every time he moved slightly, Nathan Drake would immediately open his eyes, hold down the person next to him, get up and get off the bed, and say "Don't go out, it's cold outside." Ethan Smith felt guilty, distressed, touched, and sweet every time. Before he was thirty, he didn't have the problem of "difficulty falling asleep", but since his mother passed away, he no longer slept well as before, and it slowly got better after dating Nathan Drake.

Nathan Drake was very quiet after falling asleep. On the contrary, Ethan Smith himself not only had difficulty falling asleep, but also had a bad "appearance" sometimes. He often grinded his teeth - it was said that this was a problem that he had after his mother passed away, and he also talked in his sleep twice.
