Gil walked over to where Nick was sitting. He took him by the hand and pulled him to his feet and into his arms. At first Nick was surprised by Gil's actions but he quickly relaxed into his embrace.
"I'll be back after shift," Gil said. "If you want me to, that is."
They stared into each other's eyes for a long moment then Nick nodded. "Yeah," he said quietly. "I think I'd like that."
Without removing his eye's from Nick's, Gil reached up with one had and cupped the side of his face. Nick's eyes drifted shut of their own accord and he rested his head against Gil's hand. Gil began gently stroking his thumb over Nick's cheek and slowly edged it over to his lips.
When he stroked his thumb ever so gently over Nick's lower lip, the younger man's mouth opened slightly and he sighed. Without giving it much thought, Gil leaned forward closing what little distance there was between them and brushed his lips tentatively over Nick's.
Gil's lips were soft and warm just as Nick had always imagined they were. He moved one hand to the back of Gil's neck and opened his mouth allowing the older man to deepen the kiss. Nick's knees went weak as he felt Gil's tongue sweep over his. He pushed back wanting to taste Gil as much as Gil wanted to taste him. They dueled for control until the need for air became too great.
They rested their foreheads together trying to rein in the growing passion they both felt, knowing that there was nothing they could do about it now. Gil pulled back and stared into Nick's eyes now darkened with passion. He sighed. "I have to go," he said sadly. "But I'll be back later. I promise."
