Author note: I don't know if anyone actually read the other part of this because I didn't get any feedback. Please take pity. one review from you can mean smiles from me for a whole day (even a week if its really nice). It is a story about coming out as being gay but there isn't any femslash 'action'. Enjoy.

"Greg?"

"What's up Sara? Ooh are you still coming to Nick's?"

"Yeah I am. That's what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Okay. Go on," Greg gave me one of those grins that make most girls go weak at the knees. But not me, and that was the point.

"I'm planning to drink tonight along with you guys, and alcohol has that annoying habit of loosening people's tongues," I paused to collect my thoughts but Greg responded before I could continue,

"Is that what you think of me? I thought you trusted me!"

I slipped my hand into his and said in a soft voice, "Hey. I didn't mean you I was talking about myself. I know you've been great to me; I know you'd never tell." I smiled at him and squeezed his hand and I felt my spirits rise again as I felt him squeeze back. I doubted he'd ever know how much his friendship meant to me right at this moment.

"I need to ask you for a favour, well another one."

"Sure." Greg gave me a more sincere smile this time.

"If I get a bit tipsy at Nick's and I start on this topic and it sounds like I'm gonna tell them, please clamp your hand over my mouth and drag me to safety. Please?"

"Sure thing, but… Won't Nick and Warrick attack me for it?"

"Don't worry I'll sort it."

"Erm, Sara… Don't get mad at me for saying this but wouldn't it just be easier to tell them?"

I ducked my head, hid my face behind my hair, and felt Greg's hand leave mine and go to my back. Supportive, that summed Greg up in one word. "I know what you mean. I want to tell them, I will, I'm so close to it. I just don't want it to seem to them that I only told them 'coz I was drunk."

"Okay it's important you tell them in your own time." Greg hugged me but I couldn't bring myself to look up just yet.

"Hey guys! What's the big drama?"

"No big drama." Greg answered for me, thankfully giving me a few seconds to collect myself before looking up.

"Hey Nick. Don't worry I'm fine, can I have a word though? Are you heading home?"

"Yeah I'll give you a lift back to yours if you want. How long is your car gonna be in the shop?" I walked away still talking to Nick about my car but I turned to Greg grinned at him and waved.

"So Sara what did you wanna talk about?"

I tried to think of a way to put this without revealing myself, "Well Nick it's about something about me that only Greg knows and I'm not quite ready for the rest of you to know and I'm worried that I might let it slip tonight so I told Greg to watch out for me so don't tell him off it he's just doing what I told him to."

"How are you still breathing?" I giggled at Nick's completely natural response and his way of acknowledging that I was a little more than uncomfortable talking about this.

"Okay, I'll make sure me and Warrick don't jump Greg for doing what you asked him to but, can I ask you something?"

"Okay," I didn't like where this was headed, but maybe it would be okay, maybe.

"Is this thing that you have just told Greg, is it the fact you're gay?"

At that point in time I decided it was good that car seats aren't designed like normal chairs otherwise I might've fallen off, in fact I almost did anyway.

"What! Did Greg tell you? No he wouldn't… I don't get it." I felt tears come unbidden to my eyes.

"Hey," Nick took my hand, in a spookily similar gesture to mine earlier, "Don't freak out hun, no-one told me I just knew, for quite a while actually."

"How long?" I felt faint, Nick had known?

"Maybe three or four months…" His words trailed away as my jaw dropped, "What is it?"

I couldn't answer but I knew. Nick had known I was gay before I had.

"How?" Fortunately for me he knew what I meant when I spoke in these half sentences.

"I dunno, I guess I've always had a good 'gaydar'. I kinda hoped it wasn't true but the 'gaydar' never lies." Nick grinned at me and hugged me. I can't believe how good my friends are.

"Nick I'm so sorry I hadn't told you yet, I was going to. I just…"

"Hey Sar don't worry about it, I already knew so it doesn't matter!"

I smiled back at him and thought 2 down 3 to go.
