Last time, after kicking Rose out of his (temporary) bedroom, Nate spent some time alone with his thoughts.

Now, it’s time to face the day. (And Steve.)

I had a great couple of choices for Steve's shirt, but I figured the emoji would be easier to depict than Captain Kirk's face.

[Steve and Nate in the kitchen the next morning]
Steve: So are you going to tell me what happened with you and Rose last night?
Nate: You know her?

Steve: We're acquainted.
Steve: I was ready to high-five you, but then she stormed out like you'd brought out the Adult Baby gear.

Nate (sheepishly, looking away): I.. uh, broke it off.

Steve: Is that, like, a euphemism for busting inside of her?
Nate: I STOPPED IT! I stopped the sex!

or to participate.
