Why this must be read: If you've been watching the show, you know how squee-worthy the interaction between Nathan and Hiro is. This fic fills the need for more of that interaction, with much excellent dialog and really good characterization.

"Konichiwa," Hiro replies, cocking his head to the side like the puppy Peter had when he was eight -- and then he starts talking a mile a minute and yeah, no. Nathan's Japanese proficiency goes from 'konichiwa' to 'yen' to 'sushi' and that's about it.

"I. Don't. Speak. Japanese," Nathan says slowly, because isn't that what you do when people don't understand you? Even if you're in you're in your pajamas in the desert.

Yeah, this is just a regular pit stop for the congressional candidate from New York. "Ah, I so sorry, I speak too fast."

Nathan blinks because, "You were speaking English?"

"I speak very okay -- not so good English -- wassup man?"
