A/N: There's a happy ending to this chapter...
CHAPTER TWELVE
Greg drove to the airport, found the terminal for internal US flights, and waited for Flight 2 from Dallas to land. It had been delayed by an hour, but Greg didn't mind. He was happy to wait for Nick. He bought a paper, and completely missed the announcement that the flight had landed.
Nick walked through the gate with his bag, expecting Greg to be there, but he couldn't find him. Nick looked around, and spotted Greg in the corner, his face buried in a paper.
Greg heard someone clear their throat right in front of him. He lowered his paper. "Nick!" he cried. "When did you land?"
"Not long ago," said Nick.
Greg stood up, and folded the paper into the bin. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," said Nick, putting down his bag.
Greg threw his arms around Nick. "How did it go? You didn't ring."
"It went horribly," said Nick.
"You want to go somewhere and talk about it?" asked Greg.
"That would be good," said Nick, picking up his bag. Greg drove them to a quiet coffee bar near the strip. They both got a big mug of coffee each, and Nick told Greg about his trip. "Dad blew his roof."
"I'm sorry," said Greg. "What about your mum?"
"Oh, I think she's coming round to the idea," said Nick. "This was a big shock for her."
"I can understand that," said Greg.
Nick laughed. "My brother took it really well though."
"That's good," said Greg.
"Yeah," said Nick, smiling slightly. "It's just Dad."
"He'll get used to it," said Greg.
"I hope so," said Nick.
"Well, if you take after him," said Greg. "He'll come round."
"I do take after him," said Nick.
"Perhaps your mum and your brother will persuade him," said Greg.
"Probably," said Nick, sipping his coffee. "So what did I miss?"
"I went out in the field again," said Greg.
"Cool," said Nick. "Where did you go?"
"Diving," said Greg. "DB in a flooded quarry."
"Cool," said Nick. "Cool. Learn anything?"
"So much," said Greg. He picked up Nick's hand. "You know how you said you think you're in love with me?"
"Yes," said Nick.
"Well, I think I'm in love with you as well," said Greg.
Nick smiled.
