13 Across. It's the nature of TTs that the losses of those in 1st, 5th, 7th, 8th and 9thpositions will leave just the others. (10)

Consonants (probably!)

By the way, that's the way that the clue was printed. I also got 'consonants', only because it fits the grid, but still trying to figure out the clue.
Abstemious (nature of TTs) - AEIOU
If you remove the vowels from the positions in which they occur you are left with just consonants. I can't explain the TTs bit, though.
Oh, I see now. Thanks.
TTs (Tee-totallers, are abstemious in nature)
