Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I don't own CSI blah, blah, blah.
"Crap!" Greg yelped as he stubbed his toe on the door. He had woken to the sound of his doorbell. He shoved on some tracksuit bottoms neglecting to put on the t-shirt that was on the floor somewhere where he'd discarded it last night/morning. He ran his hands through his hair and went to the door.
"Nick? What's going on?"
"You know, you look good like that, you shouldn't use so much stuff in your hair."
"Nick, what's wrong?" Greg was serious.
"I broke up with Kirsty."
"Who?"
"Kirsty, my fiancé."
"Oh." The events of the night before flooded back to Greg.
"Can I crash here for a while?"
"Sure come in. You want to tell me what happened?"
"I just, didn't love her." Nick collapsed onto the sofa.
"The truth is I barely knew her. It was my Dad. I wanted to be how he wanted me, not how I wanted to be. You know. She lived in Texas and I only met her a few times before now. It's just not me. Greg, I need to tell you something. I'm gay." Greg's heart almost jumped into his mouth.
"Wow. I did not see this coming."
"I'm scared G. I mean this is knew for me, you know?"
"Yeah. I know. It's going to be ok Nicky. You know that right? Take it from me."
Nick grinned "Now I'm even more scared."
Greg punched his arm playfully.
"The guest room is full of my crap so you're going to have to sleep on the couch for tonight but I can get it cleared out for you."
"Thanks G."
Greg smiled "No problem."
About an hour later Greg walked into the kitchen to grab a drink. He saw Nick out the corner of his eye. He looked so peaceful sleeping that Greg's breath hitched in his throat. He walked over to Nick and knelt in front of him, he slowly pressed his lips to Nick's forehead.
"Greg?" Nick mumbled causing said CSI to jump and try to move away only to find a strong hand holding him in place. He looked at Nick's face to see a big pair of brown eyes looking into his. He moved closer and another hand landed on the back of his head. He felt his own lips meet Nicks and imaginary fireworks went off in his mind. Nick pulled back and rested his head on Greg's.
"I love you." Nick whispered softly and Greg smiled bigger than he had in a long time.
"I love you too." He whispered back.
"You know" Nick said thoughtfully "The reality is it's always been you Greg. It just took me this long to realise it."
Greg grinned curling into Nick's arms.
"I love you Nicky."
"You girl." Nick smirked
"You Texan." Smiling and happier than he'd been in a very long time he fell asleep wrapped up in Nick's arms.
