The question of if Nate should come with him hadn't crossed his mind, Alan was still trying to cope with the fact of tying his life with someone without realizing it Nate was going to be a part of his life forever. "Sure... if you want to come, I'm sure it will be rather dull." he admitted feeling a little flustered about it for one reason or another. Not that he didn't want Nate to come but more about that fact that he never had anyone really looking out for him in this way. Sure his parents had cared about him when he was young but they weren't super affectionate people and after they passed away he had gotten used to do everything for himself and by himself. "As far as working for me I would like that, yes. You are far more competent than anyone I would be to try and seek out and train." plus with Nate's desire to please Alan knew he was less likely to leave or try to get promoted above him.<br/><br/>Whatever the reasoning was Alan wasn't lying about wanting Nate there and around, sure he had teased about wanting to do all sorts of naughty things as the office but he had never gone through with it. "And for now lets see how it goes. I'm not going to force it." aka not going to force himself on the other which was another place that Alan felt like he had slipped up and done poorly in. Sure the hormones had driven him mad but he had felt like maybe he should have prepared for it the moment he suspected that Nate was an omega. He had overestimated his own self control and had expected to simply seduce the man not jump his bones the moment the heat cycle hit but... here they were now for better or for worse.
