Blue eyed monster.



"I'm bored!" sighed Greg, fiddling with the fiber optics sprouting from his U.F.O lamp, watching Nick's fingers tap the keyboard.

"I'm really sorry Greg but I have to get this case report done,Grissom will have my ass if I don't have this finished and on his desk by next shift." Explained Nick, not removing his gaze from the monitor.

"Ooooh!" cried Greg silently creeping up behind Nick to start nibbling his earlobe. "Surely you can take a *little* break � for me?" he asked raising his eyes provocatively.

"Should� shouldn't you be getting some sleep? You're� you're training that new lab tech tomorrow."

"Yeah, yeah fine. Just make sure you don't fall asleep on the keyboard again, last time it looked like some one hit you with a tennis racket."  laughed Greg placing, a kiss on top of soft dark hair.

"Don't worry `bout me just go!" smiled Nick glancing round to see that Greg had already gone. `Well that was rude not even a goodnight' he thought to himself.

"GOODNIGHT!" came a cry from the bedroom.

`How does he do that?'



// two hours later \\



Nick awoke with a start. Looking at his watch he still had 5 hours until work and he had just about finished his report. He sped through his work and staggered to the bedroom leaving a trail of clothes behind him, until he slipped under the dark green sheets.

"You can't get by me that easily" a scratchy voice stated.

"I know. But I can try." yawned Nick wrapping his arms around the lean, warm body next to him. Soon they were both asleep huddled together on a surprisingly cold April day.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The alarm woke both men, causing Nick to jump out of bed and run to the PC, click print, and then practically knock down the bathroom door
only to find a naked Greg in the shower.

"C'mon Greggo I'm real late get out of there!"

"Well you could either quit complaining and get in here with me, or go in to work smelling like hot donkey!"  laughed the young blond.

By the time Greg turned round Nick was smothering himself with deodorant while simultaneously brushing his teeth and tying his shoe, until he ran into the bathroom, opened the shower door and placed a kiss on the top of Greg's damp head.

"Love you, see you later on!" called Nick as he grabbed his printout and ran out the front door.

Nick had said he loved Greg everyday since the explosion and it never stopped making him smile.



* * * * * * * * * at the lab * * * * * * * * *




Greg was just brewing a fresh pot of coffee when he noticed what he thought was one of the most attractive men he had ever laid eyes on, 
standing in the middle of his lab and looking more and more nervous as seconds went by.

"Can I help you?" asked Greg carrying his coffee into the lab.

"Oh!" he jumped "hi, I'm Steven, Steven Fines. Mr.Grissom told me to talk to a�Greg Sanders."

"Well, I guess I can help you. Greg Sanders at your service." Bowed Greg, smiling "You must be the new tech I ordered."

Over the next hour or so Greg was explaining to Steven how to work everything from CODIS, the GCMS and the liquid chromatographer. Until
Nick turned up with a large bag of evidence for processing.

"Hey G, need these done ASAP" smiled Nick, not noticing the tall man behind Greg.

"Oh Steven this is Nick Stokes a C.S.I level 3 and my mentor when I get out of here. Nick this is Steven the new tech."

"Hey" said Nick shaking the young mans hand. `Not bad' he thought to himself.

Steven was tall with hair the colour that matched Greg's eyes, it was spiked less haphazardly than Greg's and eyes the colour of tropical
waters.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As the day wore on Steven found himself watching Greg patter around the lab rather than actually listen to what he was saying.

"You like him, don't you?" The female voice made him jump and break his gaze of Greg in the break room brewing a fresh pot of coffee.

"Wha! Oh hi I'm Steven" he said trying to act casual

"Jacqui, now answer the question" she laughed shaking his hand.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"PLEASE! You haven't done anything but smile and watch the break room when he leaves. You know you're not the only gay lab tech we got" she whispered looking at Greg. "Just ask him, with you looking like that he's not likely to say no! You won't know until you ask." And with
that Jacqui was gone.

Steven groaned when he saw Nick enter the break room and shut the door behind him.

Five minutes later Greg returned two cups of coffee in hand, holding a packet of Twinkies between his teeth, his shirt a little ruffled with the bottom buttons undone and hair even more messed than usual.

"Want one?" he asked holding the packet at him.

"Sure, why not?" Steven smiled taking the packet from his hand letting his fingers linger a little longer on Greg's hand. What he didn't notice was Nick watching outside the lab with a very solemn look on his face.

Chapter 2


Steven laughed as Greg stuffed his Twinkie in his mouth.

"Whad?" asked Greg muffled by cake and flying crumbs.

"You uh, got a little, um" stated Steven gesturing at his face to try and explain what he meant, luckily Greg got the hint.

"Oh! Where?"

"Just� there." Said Steven swiping his finger across Greg's chin and licking his finger clean as Greg laughed and ears reddened.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Nick was just coming through the front door when he heard Greg on the phone laughing his head off.

"Look I'll speak to you tomorrow. Bye."

"Hey G" Nick greeted Greg by giving him a peck on the cheek as Greg replaced the phone in its cradle. Who was on the phone?"

"Just Steven asking about work."

"Oh." Said Nick rather abruptly.

"I don't get why you don't like him. He's cool." Smiled Greg.

"I never said I didn't like him" argued Nick.

"Didn't have to, so come on tell me why."

"Never mind G."

"PLEEEASE tell me, tell me, tell me!" Greg whined.

"Fine! I hate him Greg! I really REALLY hate him!" Nick exploded.

"OK but why!"

"BECAUSE�.. Because he's totally in love with you!" Nick's voice was beginning to still and Greg was looking very confused. "You don't see
it do you? The touching, the smiling, the laughing, the compliments and the whole Twinkie cream thing this afternoon in the lab. Oh yeah I
saw it and how much you enjoyed it. I'm not an idiot Greg, two very attractive guys, doing the same job with the same interests, do the math. I guess that it's a good thing that he's pretty `cause he sure wasn't learning anything today!" nick had officially lost it.

"HOW DARE YOU! YOU REALLY THOUGHT I JUST HIRED HIM BECAUSE OF HOW HE LOOKS!" Greg screamed and tears burning his eyes. "I HIRED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS THE MOST QUALIFIED!"

Nick didn't say anything, instead he chose to give Greg his best `yea right' look before Greg started shuffling through the mound of files
on the desk and throwing one at Nick with tears staining his cheeks.

"THERE! NO PICTURES! NONE WHATSOEVER! NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO CALL ME UNFAITHFUL AND SHALLOW MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT MORE ON ME THAN SOME STUPID IDEA IN YOUR HEAD!" and Greg stormed to their bedroom and slammed the door.

Nick sat on the couch for a while until he heard the door open and slam within seconds. As he walked towards the door he noticed Greg had
thrown a pile of Nick's clothes into the hall along with a can of deodorant and his wallet.

It was a good thing that they had a fairly comfortable couch. And Nick would try to rectify his yet again idiotic mistake in the morning. Hopefully.





Blue eyed monster
Chapter 3



When Nick awoke the house was silent except for the faint bubble of
Greg's fish tank. Also he had a blanket and pillow which he
didn't fall asleep with and a throbbing headache which he *definitely*
went to sleep with. He hastily readied himself, not daring to check to
see if Greg had left or not.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Nick spent the whole day trying to speak to Greg, unfortunately his
plan was thwarted at every turn, be it Sara trying to pluck up courage
to try and ask him out, Warrick trying to bet on a current case or
Steven was around. The last one made his blood burn through his veins.
Steven never gave up. Watching Greg, touching Greg laughing at his
stupid jokes.

As Greg left for the breakroom nick tailed him closing the door behind
him.

"G?" Nick asked warily making Greg jump nearly spilling his
packet of Blue Hawaiian down the sink.

"What?!" Greg snapped rather bitterly.

"Look im sorry ok I just got a little� jealous."

"Hey I get it you don't trust me enough to stay
faithful." Greg said bitterness still rampant on his voice, pushing
the start button on the coffee machine and walking to the vending machine.

"It's not like that. It's just that I've never been
in a relationship this committed or this long before and a guy like
that comes along. I mean come on look at him!" Nick murmured.

"I was soo ready to yell at you some more last night but when I
came out of the bedroom you we're huddled on the couch shivering."
Greg said looking at his shoes.

"So you covered me with the blanket and gave me the pillow,
huh?" Nick smiled.

"I didn't want you to be cold." Was greg's only
answer not meeting Nick's gaze. "look im sorry for last night too,
just next time learn to believe in me a little more ok?" said greg
placing a feather light kiss on Nick's lips and left the breakroom
coffee in hand and twinkies between his teeth. Nick suddenly had an idea.

"hey! Sanders you took the last of the twinkies." Nick called
as he followed greg into the DNA lab.

"Sorry man here you can have the spare." Grinned Greg knowing
exactly what he was up to.

"Thanks Greg, remember those blood stains, need them ASAP."
Said Nick taking a bite out of the overly sweet cake and walking out
of the door, saving the mortified look on Steven's face to amuse
himself for the rest of the night.


* * * * * * * * 2 months later* * * * * * * *


"He's still trying to get in your pants y'know."
Panted Nick as Greg kissed a trail from his neck to his ear. Nick
wasn't ready to publicly out himself but this quick make-out sessions
in the breakroom when the lab was deserted had become addictive.

"I know he asked me to a club earlier." Shuddered greg as
Nick sucked on his neck. It was a good thing today was cold and he
could hear a turtleneck.

"And?" Questioned Nick as he nipped the sensitive skin behind
his ear.

"I�oh god. I told him I already� I already had plans with
my boyfriend." Moaned greg quietly.

"Coffee's done." Nick smiled backing off. 

"That is soooo mean, you know that?" huffed greg. Neither one
noticing the pair of sky blue eyes watching from the cracked open
door, as greg re-approached Nick.

As soon as their lips met Steven bolted back to the lab murmuring
`don't ask, don't tell' over and over again until Greg appeared with
coffee.

"You alright? You look like you saw a ghost."

"Me? No I'm fine. You?"

"I'm great!"

And Greg wasn't lying he really was great.

End.
