Hey guys, yes it's me with a new story again. Thought I'd start a one sot collection, since this way, I'll actually be able to finish a story! I don't know if there's specific rules for one shots, but I just wrote a short story which hopefully you'll enjoy! x
Nick Stokes walked through the CSI lab happily, looking for his young lab rat friend. When he reached his lab he knocked on the glass loudly as he went in. "Hey Greggo!"
Greg Sanders turned around with a giant smile. "Hey Nick, what do you want? I didn't think you had any evidence here."
"I'm not here for evidence, just wondered if you wanted to come for a drink with me and 'Rick. We're going to hit a few bars, then maybe a few clubs... get some girls..." he added with a wink. "You in?"
"Erm, I'll think about it." Greg told him with a smile, then quickly looking down.
Nick frowned. "Since when did you need to think about hitting it off with some girls, huh? You never stop talking about your nights out."
"Okay, count me in." Greg said with a fake smile.
"Alright!" Nick said as he patted him on the back and left.

"You ready to go, Greg?"
Greg looked up from the bench in the locker room and coughed harshly. "I don't think I'm going, I think I'm coming down with something."
Nick frowned. "Why, what's wrong?"
"I have this cough... you guys have a fun time though." He told Nick with a smile.
"I'm sure that's nothing a few shots can't fix and some girls" Nick told him, trying to persuade him to come.
Greg laughed. "No seriously, you go without me."
Nick looked at him, deep in thought for a minute, before sitting next to him. "What's going on?"
Greg swallowed deeply and looked down. "I don't know what you mean."
"I mean this, Greg. Why are you acting so weird? You think I believe you got that cough in just a few hours? I know it's fake, man" Nick asked him incredulously.
"Don't you wanna' come out with us?" Nick asked after Greg didn't answer him.
"No!" Greg quickly replied, "Of course I do, it's just..."
"Just what?" Nick asked him as he drifted off.
Greg's eyes flicked up to meet Nick's, but then looked down again. "It's just... I'm not into girls." He told him with a nervous smile as he looked up.
Nick's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Oh, you're gay Greg?"
Smiling, Greg quickly looked away. "Yeah. Sorry, you know, if it bothers you." He apologised.
Nick shook his head. "No, it doesn't bother me. I just thought of all the birthdays I've wasted taking you to bars to get girls." He told him jokily with a smile.
Greg laughed. "How come I'm only just finding out about this, huh?" Nick asked him.
Greg shrugged his shoulders, "It's not really something I like to share. You know, all the cases you guys work on with people being beat up and killed because they're gay... I don't, I don't want that to happen to me." He admitted.
Nick frowned in concern, "That won't happen to you. I won't let it."
"Thanks, but I've had trouble before, it's better if people don't know." Greg told him with a small smile.
"What trouble have you had before?" Nick asked him.
"I went to a gay bar, club thing, it was alright whilst I was in there, but when I came out... there was a group of guys, drunk. They didn't do anything but they shouted abuse at us all. I'd just rather live without all that, you know."
Nick nodded. "Yeah, I understand. But you know if you have any trouble, I'm only a phone call away right?"
Greg smiled. "Yeah, thanks."
