Nathan Howe hummed happily around his breakfast sandwich as he stepped into his dress shoes. His schedule had been moved since his promotion and he had something to look forward to every morning. The 6' 5" man sipped at his coffee before giving himself a grin in the mirror, brown eyes crinkling at the corners. The former Army ranger stepped back a little check the fit of his dress uniform, being a firefighter wasn't all running into burning buildings and as much as Nathan didn't like being stuck at his desk it did mean that he was in the elevator at the same time as a certain cutie from down the hall.
The man kept his hair and face trimmed just as it had been during his military days, brown hair cropped close to his head and neat. The uniform was well tailored over his big shoulders and arms, it looked clean and professional. Now he was just stalling, partially from nerves and partially because he had a decisions to make.
The brown eyed man didn't want to come on too strong, but the slender young man who had caught his eye eight months ago when he'd moved in was looking less slender and more gaunt as the days went by. Nathan grabbed the second breakfast sandwich, it was just a bagel with ham an egg and cheese on top. But it was good and warm. Wrapping the thing in a napkin the brunette headed out into the hall and towards the elevator. "Hold the door!" He called as it dinged open.
