Well, ladies and gentlemen, here we are again. I do hope you enjoy this chapter, even if it is abit rubbish. :/ Forgive my lack of creativeness and blame The A-Team 2010 movie. Murdock is SO hot! And Liam Neeson is damn sexy in everything and in nothing ;)
Disclaimer: I still own nothing; see first few chapters for full details.
Chapter 7.
It had been two weeks and Eric still wasn't talking to H and Ryan. He'd hand over evidence, confirm case details and work as a CSI but he refused to stay in the same room as them if he was alone, and he never accompanied them to crime scenes. He had even left the break room because Ryan had walked in with Kyle to grab a coffee.
"This is ridiculous Horatio. Even his sister was happy for us, and you were her husband!' Rick was fuming. Okay, he hadn't expected Eric to be all cheerful and smiles when he heard that his nemesis and H's supposed enemy was actually his lover, but still, the guy could at least be happy that Horatio had managed to move on with his life! 'If Eric had his way, H would never move on from Marisol. He'd be stuck thinking of her all the time, unable to find any peace or happiness.' Rick mused in his head.
'I know, but I can't force him to do something he doesn't want to do. I can only hope that with the rest of the team backing us and explaining things to Eric from another point of view, he'll come round to it eventually.' H sighed. He hadn't wanted to fall out with anyone over this, least of all Eric. But he wasn't going to let his relationship fall apart because of this either. If Eric could only see that H and Rick were completely happy together, as were Ryan and Kyle, and that there was nothing wrong with being gay…
In the break room Kyle was still slightly worried about Lexis, while Ryan was angry about Eric. The two lovers were curled up together on the sofa just staring blankly at the TV. Ryan gently kissed the top of Kyle's forehead.
"Don't worry. Things will start looking up for us soon." Ryan tried to reassure his lover.
"I hope so. At least we don't have to sneak around anymore. That's one good thing to come out of this crazy mess!" Kyle laughed. Ryan chuckled and pulled his boyfriend even closer to his own body. He knew Kyle Harmon was too good for him, but Ryan was grateful that whatever powerful force was out there had decided the two of them should be together. Silently he hoped it would stay that way for a long time…
"Are you sure you can get close to them and pull this off?" There could not be any flaws in this plan. If even one tiny detail was ruined… she didn't want to think about how much she could get set back for this. She wasn't about to loose now! The man standing before her chuckled.
"Don't worry; everything will go exactly as promised. He won't be able to resist the hope that maybe his favourite CSI has started to accept him and his disgusting new lifestyle. Then, some small doubts, well placed evidence and the grand finale – which I'm assuming you have prepared – and we both get what we want." Smirking evilly, the blonde woman's perfectly manicured hands settled on her waist.
"Just make sure that Horatio doubts Ryan enough to follow him home. I can deal with everything after that. They're going to regret crossing both of us."
"Come on slow coach! I'm getting the best coffee before you!" Laughing, Mac ran after his lover through Central Park, grateful for the few hours they got to spend together. Don was so easily pleased, just happy to enjoy a walk (or some good running competition) with Mac, that the two of them always managed to make their time together last. Someone who enjoyed expensive dinners and being taken to exotic places would never have enough time to share and Mac hated the high maintenance rich bitches. It was a good reason as to why he had checked up on everything the New York Crime lab knew about Lexis Marissa. He wanted to be there for H and his team in case anything blew up in their faces. Slowing down a little, his grin started to slip. Eric Delko had pissed him off so much that day on the beach. The Cuban had no right to treat friends that way, whether he agreed or disagreed with their lifestyles. Friends stuck together, that was the end of it. Mac only hoped that H would see through any deception on Eric's part. Gut instinct told the New Yorker that it wasn't the last time they'd hear from Mr Delko.
"Mac, what's up? Usually I'm pinned to the floor by now." Don ran back to join his lover, panting slightly. Mac shook away his thoughts as he turned his head gently to kiss Don.
"Nothing. Just hoping everything will turn out alright." Don grinned.
"Come on, were from New York! We always look on the positive side! Besides, anything does go wrong? Guess who'll be there to kick ass?" Mac laughed.
"Alright, alright. Now, what was it you said earlier about getting the first cup of coffee?" The older detective ran off, getting a good head start on his younger lover.
"Hey, no fair! Come back here you cheater!"
To be continued.
