Spoilers: Lots of references to the finale of Season 5. So if you haven't seen 'Grave Danger' then you might not want to read.
This is just a short fic, and I'm not going to tell you the pairing because that's the point but if you're offended by it please feel free to flame me you will be ignored. Enjoy.
He said we would be together again one day but I'm sick of waiting. He said he would hold me close again. He said we would share the night again.
Sometimes I thought he was going to take the plunge. Just moments where he would brush my hand or take my arm. But he wasn't brave enough. And neither was I until now. I can't lose him, not again. Seeing him on that video link, suffering, it was unbearable.
I hate Ecklie. Before he interfered, I could spend almost all my working hours at his side. I miss that, I miss him, I miss his lips, I miss his forearms… I think I'd better get back on topic.
When he was trapped in that damn box I couldn't even express the pain I felt because no-one knew. He once told me that he wasn't ashamed, but I was. I was ashamed that I'd let it all fade into history. I wasn't going to let sleeping dogs lie. I wanted him back and I didn't care what the consequences were. This had gone on too long. I had to make the first move.

Oh God. What have I done. I should go. Uh oh. What if he hates me? What if he never speaks to me again? Oh God I'm going to faint. I can't breathe. Eep!
"Hey Greg!" Oh that voice. All is calm. "Er Greg?"
"Hey Nick… I just came to say… I'm here 'cos…"
"Greg, I've been expecting you." He grinned at me and still looked beautiful though his face was covered with fire ant bites. He answered all my questions with his lips. He reassured all my fears as he closed the front door. He gave me a view of the future with his hand on my zip. "I love you Greg, and I'm gonna show you how much."
