Summary – Finn and Nick ask Greg and Morgan to help keep their relationship a secret, but will the façade last when Finn is attacked at a crime scene?

Our Little Secret

Nick did not like the way Greg smirked at him when he entered the break room at the beginning of the shift. The younger CSI was sat reading a file and sipping his coffee when Nick arrived. Greg appeared to study his friend for a moment before the corner of his lips curled upwards in a knowing way. It made Nick feel a little uncomfortable, but he cleared his throat lightly and tried and ignore him.

"So, who is she?" Greg asked.

Nick flinched "Who's who?" he said as he continued to pour his cup of coffee and play ignorant.

Greg rolled his eyes. "Oh please, you couldn't be any more obvious" he claimed. "Hair ruffled, clothes the same as yesterday all wrinkled, distinct pink stain on you shirt collar, probably lipstick…need I go on?"

"No, you needn't" Nick replied a little irritated before going to sit at the table. "And I'm not saying who, we promised to keep it secret until we were ready to tell people"

"So it's someone I know, or else you could just tell me" Greg said, disregarding Nick's request for silence.

"Maybe…" Nick mumbled as he took a sip of coffee "We've been dating secretly for two months and we want to keep it that way"

"Okay, okay" Greg said raising his hand in defeat. "At least tell me what she's like?"

"Well, she's super smart" Nick said with a soft smile "And she always knows what to say, caring, funny…really hot" he smirked.

"It's Finn" Greg said bluntly.

"What?" Nick said nervously, but then remembered this wasn't helping his cover. "I mean, no…"

"It so is!" Greg laughed. "When you said all that you had this…gooey look in your eyes which I've seen you give Finn before." He claimed "It's about time you got together"

"I do not have a gooey look" Nick said incredulously "and It's not…" he trailed off when Greg just raised his eyebrows at him. Nick sighed. "Okay fine, it's Finn" he mumbled. "But you can't tell anyone!" he stressed.

"You have my word as a gentleman" Greg promised.

"That doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence" Nick mumbled, and Greg gave him an unimpressed look.

At that moment Finn entered the room and smiled at the two male CSIs. "Hey guys" she said chirpily.

"Hello" Greg said seductively and Nick gave his arm a light thump and shot him a look.

"He knows, huh?" Finn asked; she didn't appear annoyed or even surprised.

"I didn't tell him!" Nick defended himself "He just sort of…guessed"

"Well, it's okay" Finn shrugged "we could use one confidant"

Suddenly, Morgan was hurrying into the room with a wide smile on her face "You guys are going out!" she said excitedly. "That's so awesome!"

"How did you know!?" Finn asked in shock.

Nick immediately looked around at Greg who just shrugged. "Morgan's my girlfriend" he said "Can't keep secrets from her"

"I…did you text her!?" Nick asked incredulously. Greg nodded "How did you…I didn't even see you get your phone out!"

"I'm subtle, like a ninja" Greg said seriously and Nick just looked even more annoyed.

"If this is supposed to be a secret we won't tell anyone else" Morgan said seriously. "You guys kept me and Greg secret from my dad so we owe you for that"

"Thank you" Finn said with a small smile but then she turned to Greg "but it's him I'm worried about" she said dully.

"I swear on my Blue Hawaiians life I won't tell anyone else" Greg said seriously.

"That's a pretty good promise coming from him" Nick assured Finn.

"Alright then" Finn nodded.

She sat down next to Nick and took hold of his hand. Their romance was still fresh and so they found it hard when they couldn't see each other for a long time because of working different cases.

"So, tell me how this all started" Morgan said eagerly as she sat next to Greg.

"Well…" Finn started as she looked at Nick and smiled. "It was two months ago and there was this domestic abuse case which really got to me. When I got back to the lab Nick knew something was wrong because I was being unusually quiet…"

"So I wanted to do something to cheer her up" Nick continued; they could tell the story in rhythm with each other like a perfect dance. "I told Finn about how for years whenever a case has got to us we always go up to the roof and look at the stars"

"It was such a beautiful evening" Finn remembered. "And we just got talking; we didn't realise we had so much in common. Nick was just so sweet and he was there for me" Finn said as she squeezed her partner's hand and smiled at him "he's a really good listener and I just felt so much safer around him"

"And Finn just felt like someone I could talk to for hours on end" Nick added as he smiled back "She's my perfect partner in crime" he grinned. The couple then shared a loving kiss, and Greg and Morgan could clearly see the spark between them.

"Aww you guys, that's so sweet" Morgan said.

"Yeah man, nice pull" Greg said with a wink of approval and Morgan slapped his chest half-heartedly in warning. "What? I'm just messing!" Greg tried to defend himself. "Seriously, I'm glad for you guys, you deserve to be this happy, you really do" he said with a small smile which Nick and Finn returned.

"So, our little secret, between the four of us?" Finn made sure. The other's nodded.

Russell and Hodges then joined them in the room too, but Nick and Finn didn't notice before it was too late as they were still holding their hands above the table.

Hodges raised a questioning eyebrow "Why are you doing that?" he asked Finn and Nick who looked at each other wide eyed for a moment.

"It was me!" Greg blurted out and everyone looked at him confused. "I mean…they're stuck together with glue because I…well, just my little joke" he said with a nervous smile.

"Great" Russell said sarcastically "Sara's off for the night, and now I have two of you glued together, we'll never get anything done!"

"Don't worry, I have some stuff that can prise them apart" Greg assured him as he stood up. "C'mon guys, I'll help you" he said to Finn and Nick with a look which told them to follow his lead.

"Fine, but we're still really pissed at you, Greg" Nick sais playing along.

"Yeah, you owe us big time" Finn added as she and Nick rose from their seats and followed Greg from the room -hand in hand.

"Thanks" Nick whispered to Greg as he walked passed.

"Don't mention it, just keep going" Greg hissed as he left after them.

Hodges rolled his eyes "I swear Sanders' jokes are getting lamer and lamer" he said.

"Hey, that's my boyfriend!" Morgan frowned.

"Sorry" Hodges mumbled sarcastically. "Oh, I wanted to give this back to Nick" he said as he held up a CD "It fell out of his locker this morning…weird, Nick really doesn't seem like a Billy Joel kinda guy"

Russell smirked "It must be Finn's, she is like that guy's biggest fan" he said "Over the many years I've known her she hasn't stopped obsessing, she loves his music…" he frowned "I wonder why Nick would have this?"

"It's mine, I leant it to him" Morgan proclaimed and Hodges and Russell looked at her surprised.

"You…Mrs Read Hot Chilli Peppers are the best…you are a Billy Joel fan?" Hodges said wrinkling his nose with disbelief.

"Yeah…I'm very diverse when it comes to music" Morgan said haughtily as she snatched the CD off him.

"Name three of his songs, right now" Russell challenged her as he folded his arms.

"Erm…" Morgan froze; shit, come on, my dad must have mentioned this guy like a billion times! "There's the erm…that one song with the…" she stumbled, and then all of a sudden her pager beeped. She could have sighed with relief; saved by the bell. "Well what do you know, I'm needed in autopsy" she said hurriedly "See you!" and she left before Russell and Hodges could say anything to her.

"Something's going on here" Russell said as he narrowed his eyes.

Hodges just shrugged "Just seems like every other weird night of working here to me"

"We should take Greg and Morgan out for dinner sometime" Finn said as she and Nick entered their crime scene "to say thanks for covering for us." Morgan had told her what had happened and although Finn found it rather funny, Morgan had appeared a bit flustered by it all.

"Good idea" Nick said as he placed his kit down and scanned around the derelict warehouse were a drugs bust had recently taken place. "Do you wanna start with the body or the drugs?" Nick asked.

"Body, blood is my thing, you know" Finn winked at him and Nick chuckled.

They continued their work in silence, solely focused on processing the body and collecting evidence. Finn was nearer the entrance of the building, whilst Nick was at the far side raiding through some boxes. Finn was so content on working with the body, she did not notice as the door began to silently open.

Suddenly, she felt cold metal being pressed against the back of her neck. Her first instinct was to warn Nick, but then someone put a gloved hand over her mouth.

"Ssh, or I'll start by killing him" they threatened, and that was all it took for Finn to decide she was follow this guy's command; no way Nick was dying because of her. "Slowly get to your feet" he ordered. Finn did so.

"Hey you've got to see this…" Nick started and turned around. His eyes widened in fear, anger and shock when he saw the man holding Finn and pointing a gun at her. Nick drew his own weapon and pointed it at the man. "Let her go you bastard" he growled.

The man just laughed. "You're not in charge here" he said. "I am, hand over the drugs, and Blondie doesn't get hurt" he said.

"Nick don't…" Finn started but then the man pulled back on her hair to silence her and she grit her teeth in pain.

"Don't hurt her!" Nick called desperately; he couldn't stand to see his usually strong girlfriend be so scared. "I'll do whatever you say" he complied as he picked up the box of drugs and slowly walked over.

"Put it on the ground and back away" the man demanded when Nick reached them.

"It's going to be okay, I promise" Nick said to Finn before placing the box down.

However, instead of moving back Nick took the man by surprise, swinging a fist into the attacker's side whilst he was still in a hunched position. The man cried out in pain and recoiled, Nick immediately tackled him to the ground. Finn called for backup and Nick soon conquered the man, pinning his hands behind him and cuffing them – the man had lost consciousness in the fight.

"Are you okay?" Finn asked worriedly as she ran her finger across a cut which had been made across Nick's cheek.

"Yeah" he breathed "I'm fine because you are" he smiled.

Finn smiled back. "Thanks, I love you" she said more sincerely than she had to anyone before.

"I love you too" Nick replied and the couple shared a passionate kiss.

"I knew something was going on!" Russell's voice broke them apart; he had arrived along with Brass and some other cops for back up.

"Well, I guess we're not really a secret anymore" Finn shrugged.

"I don't care" Nick said truly "I want the whole world to know you're mine and that I'll keep you safe"

Finn smiled at him "I'd like that very much"
