Chapter 4
Burning plastic. Crackling sounds. Explosion. Crashing and breaking glass. Pain, a lot of pain.
Greg woke up screaming and tried to sit up making him cry out in pain.
Jak's head flew off the bed and he fall out of the chair. "What's wrong!?"
Greg fell back and his side, a look of pain on his face. "Nightmare."
Jak got off the ground and sat back in his chair. "You ok?"
"For now..." Greg muttered.
Jak looked at him closely.
Greg sighed. Jak's black spiky hair had fallen flat and his ice blue eyes were darker than usually with worry.
"It was just a normal nightmare Jakkers.. I'm ok."
"Ok..." Jak said. "You seem more with it now."
"What do you mean?" Greg asked.
"You've been sleeping for the last 10 hours thanks to pain medication." Jak said gently running his hand through Greg's hair.
"Well... I kinda remember last night... I think Catherine was here?" Greg said.
"Yeah, and Warrick? They asked you what happened basically." Jak said.
"Oh.. I can't remember that....." Greg mumbled.
"That's fine babe." Jak said rest his hand on Greg's non injured cheek.
"I..." Greg started to say something but stopped.
"What is it?" Jak asked.
"Nothing." Greg sighed. "I just want out of here.."
"I know you hate hospital's." Jak said.
"I know you know." Greg grumbled.
"Just.. You need to take it easy for... a long time.." Jak said. "And.. you'll have scars.."
"I already have scars." Greg said looking at Jak.
"These one will be worse." Jak said. "You might change..."
"Why would I change?"
"Because.. you had a damaging injury.. I want the Greg that I know and love. Not the Greg that will be here.. when you leave the hospital." Jak said softly.
"I'm not going to change Jak."
"You don't know that! I mean, anything can happen."
"Jak.. Read my lips. Nothing will change me. I will always be me and I will always love you."
Jak smiled weakly. "I wish you weren't in this situation."
"I know.. me either."
Jak leaned over and kissed his cheek gently.
Grissom had been standing in the doorway since Greg had woken up. He had to see for himself that Greg indeed was gay.
Greg heard Grissom clear his throat.
Jak jumped up and looked from Greg to Grissom.
Greg blinked. "This is my long lost... brother...."
Jak looked at Greg.
"He.. uh.. uh.. Found me last week.... And.. Yeah..."
"Greg.." Grissom said.
"It was just a friendly.. brother kiss.. that's all.."
"Greg."
"I mean.. it was nothing...." Greg's voice said shaking slightly as his color lightened.
"Greg?" Jak asked noticing his color.
"It.. it was just... just..." Greg said softly as his eyes fluttered closed.
"Greg?.. Gregory?" Jak asked snapping his fingers infront of his face. "I think he passed out.."
"Uh..." Grissom blinked.
"Who are you?" Jak asked looking at Grissom.
"His boss."
Jak blinked.
"I already know."
"Good for you." Jak snapped. "Look at him!"
Jak grew red with anger, his eyes getting darker as he stared at Grissom.
"What is your problem?" Grissom asked.
"What do you mean what is my problem!?" Jak snapped. "He was perfectly fine till you got here. Now look at him. HE PASSED OUT!"
"Not my fault." Grissom said.
"Not... not.. NOT YOUR FAULT!? HOW IS IT NOT YOUR FAULT!? If you would have said something BEFORE you saw anything He might be awake right now!" Jak yelled going into the head voice. (AN: I.E.... see Will and Grace.. but believe me.. it happens) "You are the reason he passed out! Because you didn't say anything and he panicked!"
Grissom blinked at him. "No, he still would have passed out. He is nervous around me! But I didn't know anything about him because no one talks to me. He always panics! You should know that if what Catherine told me is true!"
Jak looked at him. "Not believing your own people now?! What kind of boss are you!?"
"Not yours." Grissom snapped.
"That's for damn sure!" Jak snapped. "Are you completely insane?"
"No. I am perfectly sane."
"Doesn't seem like it!"
"You seem completely out of line."
"I'm out of line?! How am I out of line!?"
"You are yelling at me." Grissom said in a cool voice, slightly irritated.
"I am yelling, because of the stress you caused on Greg and he passed out!" Jak snapped back.
"You are being irrational."
"Ir. Ir.. IRRATIONAL!!" Jak yelled. "No Mr. Grissom. You are irrational. Why are you here?"
"I am here because he is one of my employees."
"No.. I'm thinking that you are here to see if whoever told you about.. Greg and myself.. To see if it is true!"
Grissom blinked.
"I'm sorry. Why don't I leave so you can be with your prized employee!" Jak snapped. He gave Grissom a look and stormed out of the room.
Grissom sighed and looked at Greg.
Greg started to stir. He opened his eyes. "Jak?" He asked softly blinking a few times.
"He's not here." Grissom said.
Greg's eyes widened. "Where is he?"
"I don't know."
"I want him in here Gris."
"I don't know where he is Greg. He left because I was... 'irrational'."
Greg blinked. "You pissed him off didn't you."
"No..." Grissom lied.
"Liar!" Greg snapped. "What did you do?"
"He called me irrational. Was being irrational himself. I just came to check on you."
"Right. You wanted to know if it was true! Gris, I have known you to long for you to be lying to me."
"Fine... That's true."
"You ass. It is none of your business what I do with my life. You are not my family!" Greg snapped.
Grissom looked hurt. "Not your family?... Not your family.. Greg, Who over the last 4 years watched your back and saved your ass from getting fired? Me. You have told me many things about you Greg, but this is major. You told me once that I was like your father. What happened to that Greg!?"
"I met Jak. That's what happened to that Greg. I met someone that I love dearly. And I didn't think it was important for you to know about it Grissom. I really didn't because you judge people Grissom. You really do."
Grissom blinked at him.
"It's true. Ask anyone in the lab Grissom. You are an emotionless robot that judges people. Get out of my room."
"Greg.."
"Get out!"
"Just."
"OUT!"
Grissom nodded. "Fine." With that Grissom left.
Greg sighed and closed his eyes.
