Title: Eskimos Get Married In The Snow
Author Notes: Just something I wrote after the Gay Marriage Bill was passed in parliament. So, yeah. Not saying it's any good though.
Warning: Greg/Nick which means it's slash. Don't like, then go away. Please.

Summary: Marriage is ordinary, but Greg still wants it.
Rating: K
Spoilers: None.
Greg rested his cheek on Nick's bare chest, sighing just a little. As Nick started to rub his hand up and down Greg's back, Greg closed his eyes, breathing in the smell of Nick.
"What's wrong?" Greg turned his head to look at Nick, and shrugged. Nick's gaze never wavered and Greg found himself sighing once more.
"I was just thinking…" he began, glancing down awkwardly. "Do you think we'll ever have the chance to get married?"
"G…" Greg knew how the topic made Nick uneasy, but it was something that floated in Greg's mind from time to time.
"I'm not saying we ever will get married, but it'd be nice to have that option, to be treated equally." Greg sat up as he felt Nick starting to do the same.
"I thought you liked being different."
"I do," agreed Greg, nodding. "But sometimes it's nice to have what everyone else has."
Nick leaned forward, placing kisses on Greg's shoulders and back.
"Marriage is just a piece of paper letting the government know what we already do." Greg hunched over slightly, knowing that Nick was trying to understand, and help, but he wasn't.
"I'd still like that piece of paper…" Nick wrapped his arms around Greg, leaning in to whisper in his ear.
"I love you… And if you'd like that piece of paper, then… I guess we're taking a trip to Canada." Rapidly, Greg spun and pinned Nick to the bed.
"Really? You mean it?" Greg couldn't help the grin that was on his face, and saw a grin slowly spread on Nicks also.
"Of course I do." Greg leaned in to give Nick a kiss.
"I love you, too," he muttered between kisses.
