A/N: Hello readers of fanfiction. My name is Maria Penner and you have currently clicked on my first fanfiction for Grimm. This, my friends, is a story that was nagging at me one day as I was about to take a nap (As we all know that is when the best stories come). I love Grimm and also the Nick/Monroe pairing (*fangirls* because I ship them so hard!) so, I decided to write my own fanfiction about them. I will say that if you are looking for a cannon here you will find none. I like to make my own world within other worlds so…no cannons! But I do loosely base this off the series I mean I'm staring at Juliette's coma and then just taking this story on a crazy train ride of emotions. So if you're into that kind of thing then this is for you. In any case, if you're still reading after this ridiculously long authors not then here is chapter one of Why Won't You Love Me? *drums roll, symbols clang and the curtain rises*

Disclaimer: I do not own Grimm or any of its characters. I simply write for the love of writing.

"I don't understand why she always does this to me," Nick said frustrated as he laid his head on the table. "I mean I thought once I told her the truth everything would be okay. I'm the same person. Yes, I am a Grimm but that shouldn't change anything right?"

"Nick I told you this already it's hard for a Kehrseite well, now a Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen to just suddenly become aware of the Wesen world. Did you see what happened to Hank when he found out? The man almost went crazy. Just give her time," Monroe said patting Nick on the back reassuringly.

Nick reached around, put his hand over Monroe's and smiled at him. "Thanks Monroe, for everything. I just…I just don't want to lose her. She already refuses to marry me after all these years. I don't want this to be just one more reason why she won't be with me," he says a sad expression creeping its way into his handsome features.

Monroe gave him and reassuring smile and said "You guys will get through this. It's good that you're at least being honest with her. She has to appreciate that. You're a wonderful guy Nick and she's lucky to have you."

"Yeah. You're probably right, Monroe. I'll just go back home and we'll talk about it, then everything will be okay," Nick gave Monroe a hug and departed.

When Nick left Monroe was by himself once again. He placed his back against the door and slid down to the floor. Monroe always had to be strong when Nick came around. Nick and Juliette had been on and off again for the past few months and Nick had been confiding in Monroe since then. Juliette wouldn't understand Nick's late nights from seeking out a new Wesen or his many scars and bruises from various fights he had been in. Then, Nick would try to explain and Juliette would look at him like he was some kind of monster then Nick would grow frustrated and come and find Monroe. Monroe would always be calm and listen as Nick would vent to him about his emotional troubles and Monroe would give him advice about how to solve it. Nick would go home and do as Monroe said then everything would be great for the next few weeks until another fight erupted and the cycle would begin again. This was how it had been going for a long time.

It was an okay tradition as Nick trusted Monroe and Monroe had always tried to give Nick the best advice possible….but at what cost? The problem with this cycle was that it only benefitted two people: Nick and Juliette. Monroe was dying inside every time Nick came over all distraught over her. I wish just once he would come over and just be with me, Monroe thought bitterly. He liked being Nick's friend and helping him out but…who was he going to hold at night when it was cold and storming outside. Nick, the one who Monroe wants to be there in that situation, is too preoccupied with a certain fake red-head who doesn't even love him. She will never love him the way I do. It didn't matter though. Monroe just wanted Nick close even if that meant he had to be just friends with him and stomach the constant bickering that Nick and Juliette go through on a seemingly weekly basis.

Monroe gave a sigh and stood back up. He went to find his cello. Maybe if he played a little it would clear his mind.

Monroe was sitting in his kitchen about to prepare dinner when he suddenly got a phone call.

"Hey I'm coming over," he heard Nick's voice say through the phone then hang up without another word. Monroe just shrugged and decided it was good he got extra groceries.

Monroe, no more than twenty minutes later heard a loud knock at the door and when he answered it an angry Nick stormed in.

"She left me," was all he said at first. "She just came home today and said 'I can't do this anymore. I feel like I don't even know you. You are a stranger to me and I can't stand to be with you any longer' then she grabbed her suitcase and left."

"I'm sorry Nick," Monroe says sympathetically.

"I just…I can't believe this. We've been together so long. I wish if she was going to do this she had done it sooner before I was all attached. I was going to marry her Monroe. I loved her," he says as his eyes begin to water. "Now I have no one," Nick says looking down at the hard wood floors.

"Don't say that. You'll always have me. I promise I'll always be here for you." Monroe says taking Nick's hand.

"You promise?" Nick almost whispers.

"I promise," Monroe confirms.

Nick looks up at Monroe and smiles through the tears shining in his eyes. Monroe takes Nick's face in his hands and kisses his forehead. "You don't have to feel any of it alone."

"You always have been there for me," Nick says as he pulls Monroe close and reaches up as and pulls Monroe's face just inches from his. "Be with me forever," Nick whispers and their lips are inches apart…

Monroe is suddenly awoken by the sound of "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurhythmics playing. Monroe will admit that his dreams of Nick were indeed sweet. He knew that song meant that Nick was calling. Please be Wesen related, please be Wesen related, Monroe silently prayed as he picked up the phone.

He was relieved when he heard Nick say, "I'm sorry to wake you but I got a new case and I don't speak German. Meet me at the trailer, please?"

"Okay. I'll be there in a minute," he said then hung up.

Monroe preferred when Nick called about a case instead of about Juliette. Of course he hoped that Nick would call just to hang out with him but beggars can't be choosers. He wished Nick would actually notice him once in a while. He wished Nick would care when he did nothing but encourage him and tell him what a wonderful person he is. Monroe would always try and make their hugs last a little longer so that the Blutbad could take in Nick's scent. Gosh, he smelled good. Every. Single. Day. Without fail. It was the little things that Monroe did that Nick failed to notice. It just wasn't fair that someone who doesn't love him gets to have his love. Monroe sighed as he got out his car and walked up to the trailer. Before he entered he stood outside for a moment. Conceal, don't feel, the Blutbad thought quoting his favorite Disney movie. That is pretty much what he had to do when he was around Nick. All he could do was hide. He walked in and smiled as he stared at Nick looking very scholarly as he worked to lamplight. Monroe let himself indulge in that image for just a few minutes more. The way Nick's dark eyes scanned the page, the way every muscle in his perfect body tensed as he searched frantically yet, with much focus and skill for an answer. This was the man Monroe loved. His smile grew wider as he decided to stand there for a few moments more before making himself known.

That was until Nick said, "Are you just going to stand there or are you going to translate this for me?"

Monroe blushed and walked to where Nick was sitting as he held the old leather book out to him. Monroe read the passage describing a well-known Wesen. Nick shook his head and explained the wound he had seen on his victim as he continued the search and so did Monroe. They looked through book after book which told tales of the destruction of Wesen at the hands of Grimm's.

Soon Monroe read a passage out loud that seemed to describe what Nick was looking for. Monroe felt another blush form as Nick stared at him intensely. Monroe knew Nick was just in deep thought but it was just the look on his face that sent shivers down his spine. I wish he would look at me that way.

When Monroe finishes Nick comes out of his thoughts and says "Yes! That is exactly what I was looking for." He then plants a kiss on Monroe's cheek making every last inch of Monroe go crazy. On the inside Monroe was on cloud nine but on the outside all Monroe could do was smile and try to hide his face as the heat rose in his cheeks. "Thanks Monroe," Nick says as he texts Hank about their new discovery. He…he kissed me, is the one thought that races through Monroe's mind.

"Monroe?" Nick says suddenly snapping him back into reality.
"Yes. Did you says something?"

Nick laughs and asks "I was asking if you wanted to go for a drink?" Monroe nods yes and they decide to meet up at a bar not that far from the trailer park.

They go inside and soon have their drinks in front of them. Nick with his beer and Monroe with his wine. Monroe stared at the glasses smiling and admiring how different the two were. Despite that, he wondered how the two would taste if they mingled with one another. Would it be a burst of delicious flavor or would it be bitter and unsatisfying?

"Monroe, you're so spaced out tonight. What's wrong?" Nick asks concerned. Monroe loved the way Nick's brow knit together. He loved it even more that Nick was concerned about him.

Monroe smiled and said, "I'm fine. Just a little tired I guess."

"Hmm, you just need some adventure in your life. You never go out unless I take you," Nick says taking a sip of his drink.

"I have adventure!" Monroe stated defensively. I had to go all over town to find this antique gear for one of my clients. I mean do know the kinds of back woods places I had to walk through just to find this tiny little…" Monroe stopped when he saw Nick barely stifling a laugh. "What is it?" Monroe asked confused.

"You so nerdy when you start talking about clocks. But you miss my point, I mean something out side of work."

"Well not everyone can be the cop/Grimm and have a different adventure every day."

"You don't have to be a cop to have fun. In fact, we are the ones usually ending the fun," Nick says with a chuckle.

"Let's face it. Monroe is a boring and will forever live his life with no other company than his cello and his beloved clocks," Monroe said folding his arms and laying his head on the table, making a mock sadness at his own nerdiness.

"No, that's not true," Nick says ruffling Monroe's curly brown hair. "I just need to take you out more and then you will meet people and may gain some confidence to go out on your own. Let us take baby steps my friend." Monroe was smiling gleefully to himself but Nick couldn't see. He sat there for a few moments longer just letting Nick run his hands through his hair playfully. He soon sat up and said giving his best puppy dog eyes "You think so?"

Nick saw right through it as he laughs and says, "Yes. We'll start tonight. There is club not that far from here meet me there in a few minutes okay." Nick suddenly gets up and pulls a couple bills out as he pays for the drinks and begins to leave.

"But Nick…I can't dance." Monroe says pitifully.

"Everyone can dance Monroe. Besides nobody is going to care in a place like that." Without saying anything else Nick started to leave and Monroe followed.

"But…but…" Monroe stuttered trying to find a way out of the total embarrassment that was going to come to him.

"No buts Monroe. C'mon, where is your sense of adventure," Nick says as he gets in his car.

Monroe sighs and gets in his own car as he follows the Grimm to the aforementioned club of choice. They were both fairly young people and so they didn't find themselves too out of place when they stepped inside a dance club called 360 Degrees. Monroe was caught off guard by the flashing lights and loud noises that made his Blutbad ears ring. He saw Nick's smile widen as he took his hand and led him onto the dance floor. The song changed to "Boom, Clap" by Charli XCX. Nick's smile grew wider (a feat that didn't seem possible to Monroe) and he began to dance.

Nick was actually a good dancer which in turn made Monroe feel a little awkward. Nick laughed and took his hands and they started to dance together. "Just feel it!" Nick yelled to him over the crowd as he continued to dance. Monroe did bust one awkward move. "Yeah, you got it!" Nick says pulling Monroe closer and dancing against him. Monroe did as Nick said and started to really get into the music. They continued to dance and laugh. Monroe did at Nick's request talk to a few new people. He spent a few minutes talking to this one guy at the bar and got his number but he was soon whisked away by Nick who demanded another dance and Monroe was happy to do as he wished. Monroe found that he like dancing or at least he like dancing with Nick. He liked how close they got when they danced. The way he and Nick would sing and laugh as their bodies pressed together. He knew he would have a massive headache and an aching body in the morning but he didn't care. He got to have this one amazing night with someone whom he cared so much about. Monroe would give anything to just stay in that moment with Nick.

Alas, it grew late and it was still weekday and they both had things to do the next day. They were both sad to leave but they did and departed from the club arm in arm; laughing 'til their stomachs hurt. "That was the most fun I have ever had in my entire life," Monroe stated smiling brightly.

"I told you it would be fun. We're doing this again. Hey, this weekend some of the officers at the station are going paintballing. Do you wanna come?" Nick says his eyes filled with excitement.

"I'd love to. Like you said, I could use a little adventure in my life," Monroe says throwing his hands in the air.

"That's the spirit! I'll text you the details." Nick then hopes into his car and leaves.

Monroe stands there for a moment. Even though the night is over nothing could take away the infinite happiness Monroe feels surging through him right now. He hops in his car and drives home. I smile is on his face the rest of the night, even as he lays down to dream about the events of the night over and over again.
