Shift had just ended, Nick wandered the corridors looking for Grissom. The whole shift, flashes of the kiss they had shared kept entering his mind. He wanted to go home and shower but felt he had to check with Grissom that the proffered breakfast was still on.

Grissom was in the layout room, 'Hey Griss' Grissom looked up from his work, a dark flash crossing he eyes, 'Still on?' Nick asked, as casually as he could.

'Absolutely, I'll be finished here soon.'

'I need to head home, shower' Nick replied

'OK, and Nick' Nick paused, looking straight into those glittering blue eyes 'don't' take too long'

Nicks eyes widened in amazement, he couldn't believe what he had just heard. In his wildest dreams over the years since he had met Grissom, he had never dared hope that he felt the same way as he did, yet today it was as though all his Christmases had come at once.

Nick's Tahoe pulled onto the driveway of Grissom's townhouse. Nick paused imperceptibly before knocking on the door.

Grissom opened the door not saying a word. As the door closed behind Nick, he turned pulling Grissom gently into his arms. As his lips met those of the older man he groaned, he had wanted this for so long, their lips parted and tongues met, desperately seeking out, tasting each other. Gill pulled back.

A concerned look flashed across Nick's eyes

'Nicky, I've not done this before I'm not sure . . . '

'Griss, let me show you, and anything you are not happy with, just say' Nick said softly. 'I think you promised me some breakfast though' a big grin crossed his face.

Grissom surprised Nick by producing an excellent breakfast 'you never said you could cook'

'You never asked' amusement glinted in Grissom's eyes.

Nick was sitting on the sofa drinking his coffee, as he was clearing up after they had finished eating, Grissom could feel Nicks eyes following his every move. 'Leave it'

'What'

'I said leave it' Nick replied.

Grissom left the dishes walked over and sat down next to Nick.

'Nick I . . . ' he couldn't say anymore, the younger man had found his lips – suddenly found he couldn't stop himself. Their hot tongues invaded each others mouths,

Nick pulled away 'bedroom' he whispered, before their mouths once again devoured each other.

The two men found their way to the bedroom, Nick pushed Grissom onto the bed his eyes found those of the older man, sparkling like deep blue lakes

'you sure this is what you want?'

From somewhere deep within him
