Nick closed the door to the oven and turned slowly, stalking over to the doorway that led into the living room. He leaned against the doorway, staring in at the couch that his lover lay upon. Greg was asleep, even on his birthday, of all days! Nick swore that Greg would sleep through a bomb even if it when on by his head.

Greg would sleep the whole day away if he could. If he wasn't running around the lab, being hyper or trying to seduce or irritate Nick (oh, the list goes on), he was probably asleep, among other things.

Nick pursed his lips, thinking now of all the things Greg liked to do. The just kept going, and didn't seem to end anytime soon.

Shaking thoughts from his head, he began toward Greg, sitting down on the floor next to him, his head back on the arm of the couch. He heard Greg take an intake of groggy groans. Nick rolled his head to look at Greg, watching as Greg stretched and opened his eyes sleepily.

"Smells yummy," Greg mumbled after he finished his wake-up stretch. He leaned forward, placing his nose in Nick's hair, taking in Nick's scent that he loved so. "And it's not you for once, though you do smell nice." Greg complimented him, and Nick smiled.

"I'm cooking," Nick said, recalling now that one time Greg said he was the only one who could ever wake him, regretting coming near him now and disturbing his slumber.

"I didn't know you could cook," Greg said, wrapping his arms around Nick's neck, placing his chin on Nick's head, eyes closed. "You'll have to cook us a lovely, romantic dinner," Greg teased, though he did mean it.

"I already have," Nick blurted out. Greg's eyes opened at this and he uttered something Nick didn't catch. "But," Nick added as he noticed Greg wanted to eat dinner with him, getting ready to get up, he noticed again. "It'll be another hour before it's done." Greg pursed his lips at this.

"Oh," he said softly, laying back down, arms still around Nick's neck. He reached forward to place a kiss to Nick's cheek passionately. "I'm going back to sleep then, love you," Greg said, then plopped his head down on the pillow after taking another whiff of Nick's scent.

That's what Nick had intended him to do, since he didn't want to wake him in the first place.

Nick got up and stalked out of the room, but paused in the doorway to look back at his boyfriend, whose eyes were closing as they watched him walk away. "I love you too, G," Nick said softly, to himself, turning out of the room now.

Apparently Greg forgot it was his own birthday! This thought made Nick chuckle to himself.
