Greg watched Nick from his seat in the break room. The Texan was talking with Warrick and laughed at something he said. With a sigh, Greg took another sip of his coffee as he watched Nick for a few more minutes until his head back to a notebook he was doodling in when he saw Nick glance at him.

It was the worst thing that he thought could happen. Not that falling in love with Nick was bad. He had been in love with Nick for a few years now (5 to be exact) and never thought one that that thing itself was bad. The bad part was actually 2 tiny important details:

1. Inter-Office relationships were not wanted in the Crime Lab
2. Nick would never return his feelings

He knew that if he told Nick he was in love with him and had been for 5 years, Nick would surely keep away from him or, maybe, even punch him. Anyway you put it, it was bad for Greg to tell Nick he was in love with him.

"Greg!" Someone called, making Greg jump. Nick was standing next to him, an eyebrow raised. "You alright?" He asked, to which Greg nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He assured Nick as he stood up and drank what was left of his coffee and put the cup on the counter. Nick nodded.

"Alright. You and I got a DB together. Meet me outside in 5, I'm driving." He said and patted Greg on the shoulder before leaving the break room. Greg ran a hand through his hair and sighed.

A crime scene with Nick. It wasn't the first time he was alone with the Level 3 CSI, but he tried to avoid it as much as he could. He knew that he could never have him, but making him work alone with Nick, he got nervous, but always hid it under a cool, casual exterior.

With another deep sigh and composing himself, putting on a cool, causal, behavior, He walked out of the break room and headed over to the parking lot.

Meeting you was fate...
