I'm really sorry for the long update but I had no beta and I had other stories to write at the same time. So again, forgive me. So in this chapter, another couple is mentioned (sorry I know it's the same idea than another writer but I liked this idea and I wanted to try it by myself: Spencer/Derek from Criminal Minds. A little review will be really appreciated...

They arrived just in time. Two seconds only, and it was too late. And for that Greg will be eternally grateful to the world.

He had not looked at, he did not have the force. He expected the impact of the shot, but he never came.

And Warrick make him came out of its state of distress him permanently asking to bring back the fire extinguisher.

He had almost succumbing a second time when he heard the appeals to the rescue of Nick when once saved, they had to tell him that he still had to wait to finally get out of this hell. Tears of distress and his screams of despair were much too hard for him to hear.

He applied to make the requested tasks as effectively as possible, given that his hands were constantly trembling and it was very difficult to hold his tears.

Once released, the ambulance arrived, Greg had only one desire: ride with him, bring him its full support and tell him the truth that he also loved him, he loved him much too. But instead, Warrick and Catherine, who had a weight of guilt to bear on their shoulders were the first to join him. And they could not be criticized for the moment. They would find other times to be alone, just the two of them and have a serious discussion. No more coffin, no more land, no more masks: the truth itself. This is what he asked.

But this time did not come. Oh no, he was forced to arm of patience and understanding, when whenever he had the visit, there was always someone with him. His family, his colleagues, doctors, nurses: each chose well its time to come into the room when he was there, and he couldn't clarify some things with him.

But on the one hand, he said it was perhaps better like that: with the quantities of drugs that he was sleeping with and the shock, he was not sure that he said it in a moment of pure clarity. But when can we really say that? An also huge confession and heard by all his colleagues? His colleagues, what did they think?

Some were heard to Greg looks, others said nothing, but the confession did not seem to surprise them more than that. As if they had always known that it would end up as it's between the two men. Then why they don't let him finally be alone with Nick in this room? When one of them left them alone, shortly after and little phrases exchanged until his father, mother or one of his brothers and sisters arrived.

And it is there that he realized that the confession would still wait because even if Nick has become honest with himself, it was certainly not with his family.

He Greg had no problem with his family to his bisexuality. Even his brother Derek revealed his homosexuality and came to celebrate his PACS with Spencer. Party to which he was witness and was beautiful. (this is the french term for a "comitment ceremony).

It is sure that from his point of view, therefore, it was difficult to imagine that it could not accept his son as he is. Finally there are the origins and beliefs also at stake. But it would be foolish enough to deny his children because of its choice in love.

This is what his mother told him the day where she had found him being bi and in love with one of his colleagues.

He also would like that everyone is aware that him and Nick, it may become the start of something beautiful and which will enable it to become as happy as his brother and sisters. Finally, it hope more than anything.

More than one and a half months after the incident, Nick is out of the hospital and declared fit to work by psychologists. This evening, so it must resume its service.

The "real" discussion has not yet been held, and it is something that Greg can no longer wait. A month and a half that he can't get out the words of Nick of his head "I love you!". I love you so much! Forgive me Greg! ».

But as long as he was not sure that Nick was totally delivered, it seemed inconceivable to talk about it.

And this is it, Nick's back. The bags under his eyes and a few scars of its bites on his arms are trademarks of nights of nightmares and the nightmare he lived. Because Nick is any during his work for does not show that it is still a little low.

And even in the knowledge that they had to speak both, they remained the more professional as possible but still teasing from time to time. Flirtation was here again but still no sign of any future discussion.

They acted both as children. But they know both that it would remember this terrible night and memories are still too fresh in their head to puncture the abscess.

The end of the service arrived and Greg had not crossed Nick since more than one hour. And even taking his time in the locker room, still no sign.

It is therefore the heavy heart that Greg returned to his car and took his way to his apartment. The road was long and he was exhausted by the two cases on which they had to work on. And he did that cross Nick during investigations. Which bothered him even more.

He wondered if Nick was in full denial or just simply if he hasn't realized the true extent of his words and the effect it had on Greg. No he couldn't find an answer.

This upset him on the road, eating breakfast, or still during his shower.

But when he came out and saw his answering machine blink hope came back. Beep. "You have three new messages."

The first of his mother to find out how he had spent his day's work (Greg had of course all entrusted on the incident and the return of Nick today), a second message from Derek who asked to recall as soon as possible (he had something important to say?).

He was eager to find out what it was but took the time when even the third message. A very familiar male voice gave her appeal to Derek later.

"Allo, Greg. Uh, this is Nick… (Silence) UM I was wondering… if you would have the time… to speak a little here? I know… that we have important things to talk about. But I think that you're sleeping now. Therefore I believe… that it is given by. Then in this case, see you later… Oh I don't know if I said but… it was Nick… "BEEP. More new messages.

The sad and a little hesitant of Nick tone tore him almost to tears. He had missed the chance to talk to him, finally, face to face once again. And shit. He hit his fist against the wall and it made him hurt, but he really doesn't care right now. Nick needed to talk and he had missed it again, this opportunity. God Double shit…

He had no time to go further than the intercom rang. It startled him, but he still had a thin hope, knowing that his pizza deliveryman should not delay to him bringing his command.

Winning the combined, he replied with a simple "Yes".

"Yes, Greg. Hum this is me… I was (silence)... I really wanted to talk to you if you let me enter of course! »

Surprised and pleased at the time, Greg put out a single word of his mouth but so low and with great relief that it is not even sure that he has heard it. "Nick".

TBC…

I'll try to update sooner for the next one, promise. So what did you think? Do I stop it now or shall I continue?

Review please...
