Author’s Notes: Just to warn you guys, Nick gets his first taste of a bad reaction in this chapter…we all knew he had to get one sooner or later, right?
See the first chapter for further story notes and the disclaimer.
Norwegian translations: God natt = Good night.
Despite the fact that all three criminologists had to work that evening, they remained in the diner, talking and laughing, for another half hour after they finished eating before calling it a morning. Just being with a couple of his closest friends when they both knew one of his biggest secrets and did not feel any differently about him made Nick feel giddy. For what felt like the tenth time that week, he thanked the powers that be for how fortunate he was to have so many people who loved and supported him.
Greg finished recounting the morbidly humorous tale of how his grandmothers taught him to bone a fish as they headed to their cars. Nick laughed and shook his head, “Man, and I thought learning on our fishing boat with my dad, grandpa, and brothers had been bad…”
“Yeah, let’s save that story for another time,” Warrick commented through his own amusement as he walked slightly ahead of the other two men. “It’s gonna be months before I’m able to eat fish without laughing as it is. You know, I‘ve never even thought about how a fish is boned before…”
“Seriously?” Nick asked, though he was still smiling at Greg. “You never learned?”
“Uh, Nick…? I grew up here.” The green-eyed man indicated the city around them. “Why would I need to know that?”
“Well it’s not like I needed to know that, but I still learned,” the Texan answered. “My dad could have just bought fish filets, you know.”
Warrick glanced at Greg, and the muddle-haired youth let out a short laugh as he held his hands up defensively. “Don’t look at me, man. My brain‘s filled with information like this I‘ll never need to know.”
“Yeah, I believe it,” the taller man commented. He looked between the other two and then gained a slightly pensive expression. “Hey Nick, hang on a minute. I forgot to ask you something about the case today.” He waved to Greg, who had made it a few steps ahead of Nick before Warrick stopped him. “See you later, Sanders.”
“See you at work,” Greg grinned and returned the gesture before smiling at Nick as continued heading to his car again. “Bye, Nick.”
The sable-eyed man smiled and waved to the willowy chemist before turning back to Warrick. “What; did you figure a way to disprove Greg’s theory already?”
“No, it actually isn’t about the case,” Warrick answered dismissively, his mind clearly working on something else. “I just wanted to talk to you away from Sanders for a minute but I didn’t think it’d be the best idea to come right out and say that just after he told me he way gay.”
“It isn’t about that, is it?” The Texan bristled, but then forced himself to calm down when he remembered how well his friend had taken everything he’d been told that day. “Sorry, Rick. I guess I just keep expecting a problem…aside from the one with Greg.”
“No problem, man. About that though…” Warrick looked slightly awkward for the first time that Nick could recollect. “I’m assuming you’re not out yet?”
Nick relaxed marginally, “No...well, I’ve told my brothers and sisters, Greg, and now you. That’s it. I’d appreciate it if you kept it to yourself too.”
The taller man waved off the statement, “’Course man, that’s your business. It’s just…do you have any experience with a guy?”
“No, not really.” The sable-eyed man hoped his friend would it at that. He did not want to tell anyone else about the threesome from college he had told Greg of.
The green-eyed man nodded slowly. “But you do know what you’re supposed to do, right?”
Nick rolled his eyes; “Yeah, it’s not all that different from bein’ with a girl, Rick.”
“Girls don’t need any preparation once you get ’em in the mood,” Warrick pointed out. “Have you ever worked a male rape case?” The shorter man frowned and shook his head, hating the imagery that brought on and wondering where his friend was going. By the look on Warrick‘s face, he had a feeling the other man didn’t like the images his mind‘s eye was producing either. “Guys damage a lot easier in that department…even if you aren‘t particularly rough. ‘Least, that‘s what some nurses told me.”
The taller man held up a hand to stall his friend’s response. “Look, it really isn’t any of my business, but you learn some things growing up around here…and with working that case, I think I know more than you do and I think you need to do some research before Greggo gives you the ‘go’ signal and you end up hurting him.”
The Texan stared at his friend in shock for a moment before he thought back to the way his friend in college had moved the day after their tryst. He had never truly questioned that before, but he knew he was never that rough with any of his partners, even when inebriated. The thought that he might have really hurt the guy made Nick feel a little bad…and the thought of possibly hurting Greg that way made him feel worse. Through all the warnings and concerns since his perusal began, he had only worried about hurting Greg emotionally.
“How?” Nick asked without trace of embarrassment. He noticed Warrick hesitate, looking torn between amusement and concern, before he held up a hand to prevent himself from hearing an explanation that might scar him for the foreseeable future. “I get the idea on that part, much as I‘d rather not. I meant ‘how do I learn how to take care of him?’ I really don‘t want to hurt him.”
“That’s another one of those things I never had to know, man.” Warrick looked as though he were truly thinking over the subject, and Nick loved him for it. “Well, most of it seems like it would be simple. I don’t know, just rent some man-on-man DVDs or go online…or ask Sanders.”
The sable-eyed man stared at his friend blankly for a moment before speaking just as blankly. “You want me to ask Greg?” The taller man nodded and looked at his friend as though to say ‘why not’. “I’m supposed to ask him how to prepare him for that when he hasn’t even agreed to…? No, man, just- No.”
The green-eyed man arched an eyebrow. “I’m not suggesting you tell him you plan to use whatever you learn on him. He knows you’re bi, he’s knows you’re just coming to terms with it, and he’s probably a lot more comfortable in knowing the details than anyone else you could ask. Besides, if he has a preferred method-”
“Okay, okay, I get it;” Nick interrupted.
Warrick looked a though he was straining not to laugh as he held up a placating hand. “I’m just trying to help, man.”
“I know; thanks, I just-” The Texan’s phone rang just then and he frowned, wondering who would call him so late in the morning. The caller ID read the name of the law firm his sister Julie worked for. “I should take this. I’ll try…well, one of the ideas you suggested. Thanks, Warrick.”
“No problem.” The taller man started heading for his SUV. “I hope it works out for you and Sanders.”
“Thanks; see you tomorrow.” Nick saw Warrick nod his acknowledgement before getting into his SUV, and then he answered his phone as he got into his truck. “Hey, Jules; what’s goin’ on?”
“Sorry to call you so late;” The older woman stated in form of greeting. “I hope I didn’t wake you.”
“Nah, I’m just heading home actually.”
“Working late again, huh?” Nick was now certain that making smiles audible was a family trait.
“No,” The sable-haired man adjusted his phone and started for his usual route home, knowing he would probably be doing most of his driving on autopilot. “I was just havin’ breakfast with Rick and Greg and the time got away from us. How are you?”
“Oh, I’m fine,” Julie answered in her usual soothing tone. Nothing ever seemed to rile the woman, which came in handy in a courtroom, Nick knew. “The kids and the courts are keeping Griffin and I plenty busy, but that’s life. How are you?”
“Pretty good, actually.” Nick nodded to himself as he realized just how true that was. “We got a weird case at work -five dead college students, which is always a little rough, you know? Greg and I are still at an impasse on the whole relationship thing, but we’re on the same page now and we’re still getting along fine.
“Warrick just found out about us -in every sense of the term- and he’s cool with it, so I’m pretty relieved there. Will wants me to come out this summer, and bring Greg if I can; Jennie wants Greg in her wedding; RJ and Ronnie are handling this exactly as you’d expect; so that’s four nods of approval-”
“Five, Nicky,” Julie interrupted. “Remember, I’ve met Greg too. He’s a little young and a tad eccentric, but I think he’s just darling and, more importantly, he’s perfect for you. He’ll keep you from taking yourself too seriously and help you learn to stop and enjoy the little things in life. I understand he has some reservations and I think that‘s great too; it means he isn‘t going into this lightly. He wants you for the long haul. You did good, Nicky.”
The sable-eyed man was smiling so wide his cheeks should have been sore, but he was too happy to feel it. Julie did not praise for just anything and she always meant what she said. “Thanks, Jules. I never really thought of it like that -Greg’s qualms I mean. I guess I should have.”
“Of course you should have;” Julie’s tone was slightly admonishing. “Greg may be a little odd, but he’s always been sincere, right? If he wanted to let you down gently, he would have done so instead of leaving any room for false hope. Logically, that means he wants a relationship with you; he just needs you to catch up to him. He’s a smart guy and a relationship can only flourish if you enter it as equals, after all.”
“Well that’s why I’m doing my best to catch up,” Nick agreed. He grunted quietly and licked his lip. “Of course…I may have been a little bullheaded at first.”
“Wouldn’t expect anything less from you, Nicky.” Julie replied with a soft laugh. “I’m sure Greg knew what to expect too.”
“Yeah, he definitely knows how I work.” Nick smile faded slightly as he released a small sigh, “Jules…have you heard from Beth? ‘Cause I haven’t and I half-expected her to be one of the first to call. I know she probably doesn’t get it, but she doesn’t usually keep somethin’ to herself for this long. She isn’t plannin’ to just ignore me forever, is she?”
“No, of course not.” Julie sounded confident, consoling, and a little trepid. Nick knew right away that Beth had not kept her thoughts to herself so much as she had probably been forced to keep them from him, just as he had feared. “She has some reservations. Will and I told her not to call you until she’s sure she knows what she’s doing. We don’t want her upsetting you with her dramatics.”
The sable-eyed man was torn between amusement and dread as he replied. “Thanks for the concern, but you know I’m a grown man now, right? I can fight my own battles.”
“Yes, but that doesn’t mean you have to,” Julie responded without missing a beat. “You weren’t there when Beth learned about Veronica’s abortion; she’s lucky RJ and Jennie move so fast or she’d probably have needed reconstructive surgery once Ronnie got hold of her.”
Nick had a sinking feeling in his stomach immediately. “That bad, huh?”
“Oh, yeah.” Julie paused for a moment to let that sink in before she continued in a calm tone. “Once everyone calmed down, they were able to talk and she came to understand Ronnie’s point of view. They’re fine now, but a lot of things were said too hastily that made the whole thing take much longer than it needed to. As it was, it took months for Ronnie to get over it…and she‘s never been as sensitive as you.”
“Gee, thanks Jules,” Nick replied flatly.
“You know what I mean,” the older woman said without much concern. “You’ve always cared too much about what others think…especially those you look up to or love. What was infuriating to Ronnie would have been devastating to you, and we just aren’t going to sit by and watch that happen, Nicky.”
The Texan bit his lip; “Is she taking it that bad?”
Julie sighed, “You know how she is; she has to voice her every thought, and she just doesn’t understand this. You haven’t done anything wrong. It‘s her who has the problem and she‘s trying to come to terms with that, alright? Just be patient…I know that isn’t one of your strong points, but try. She‘ll come around and you two will have a relatively nice, long talk, and then everything will be just like before. Only better, because you‘ll have Greg and we‘ll have a new baby brother-in-law.”
Nick released his lip as a half-laugh, half-gasp escaped him. His eyes were watering with mirth, relief, happiness, trepidation, rejection, and fatigue. “Poor Greggo; he has no idea what he’s in for.”
Julie‘s laugh sounded partly amused, partly relieved, and slightly sympathetic. “Oh, I’m sure you’ll go all knight-in-shining-armor on him and try to keep him safe from everything until he shows you that he can hold his own…and between you and that Warrick fellow, I’m sure he’s already had plenty of experience in holding his own.”
“Oh, don’t I know it,” the sable-eyed man smiled and took a deep breath. “Sometimes I think he could outwit Grissom if he could get over his fear of authority figures. He‘s still the only person in the lab to ever throw the boss off.”
“Well if he can handle all of the brilliant nutcases you work with, he can handle the likes of us.” Julie took a deep breath as well. “I talked to mom earlier -and no, I didn’t mention anything that was going on with you, before you ask.” Nick closed his mouth immediately, knowing he should have expected Julie to know he was about to panic. “However, she’s definitely sniffed out a secret among her brood, and it’s only a matter of time before she narrows it down to you through process of elimination.”
Nick groaned and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “I was plannin’ on telling her and dad after I heard back from all of you guys. I guess I know where y’all stand now. Maybe I should wait ‘till my day off though…” He released a weary sigh. “That might be a long call.”
“Yeah, it probably will be,” Julie agreed, and it sounded as though she was nodding against the phone. “It’s up to you, Nicky, but do you mind if I make a suggestion?”
“’Course not.” The sable-eyed man was already too deep in worried thought to appreciate that his sister was making sure he felt as in control as she could. He recalled how Greg had told him that sooner or later, someone was not going to react well to the news. He just hoped Beth was it…he could not take it if his father reacted as poorly as it sounded like Beth was.
“Have you thought about telling mom first? Like, maybe call her before shift when you have the next day off and then call dad after work?” Julie explained slowly and evenly, clearly sensing that her brother’s attention was starting to wane. “That way mom can come to terms with this and maybe even sleep on it before dad hears. You know she’ll be able to help him wrap his head around it much quicker that way.”
Nick sighed as he parked his truck. He leaned back in the seat and rubbed his eyes. “Yeah, that’s a good idea. She always has a better idea of how he’ll take things anyway. Thanks, Jules.”
“You’re welcome, Nicky. Let me know if there’s anything I can do.” Julie sounded a little concerned now that she was about to let her little brother go. “You should get some sleep. Are you close to home?”
“Yeah;” Nick looked up and blinked when he saw the familiar building that was not his own. He had not been paying attention while he drove, and had somehow ended up at Greg’s building. He looked up and saw the curtains drawn on the younger man’s apartment. He sighed again, wondering if it had been force of habit after the past couple of days, or a subconscious need to see his friend. “I’m looking at it.”
“Good. Go get some rest. I’ll talk to you later, okay? I love you.”
“I love you too. Thanks again.” The Texan hung up and looked at Greg’s window as he debated whether he should go up or start his truck and go to his own house. He had only been waiting for a minute when he opened his door and got out. He pondered what he was going to say the entire walk to the younger man’s door, but once he knocked and Greg answered -clad only in a pair of light pajama pants and a worn t-shirt- all thoughts faded away.
“Nick?” The willowy blonde immediately stepped aside to allow Nick room to enter. He watched his friend with concern as closed and locked the door behind him. “What happened?”
The Texan shook his head. “Nothin’; I’m alright-”
“No you’re not,” Greg interrupted firmly as he indicated for the brawny man to go sit. “You look like your dog just died. What‘s going on?”
Nick released a halfhearted laugh as he sat; “It figures you’d catch on right away. I just got off the phone with Julie…”
“Oh,” the muddle-haired youth sat down as well, looking empathetic and concerned. “Is Beth taking the news worse than you thought?”
“She’s taking it so bad that Will and Julie won’t let her call me,” the Texan answered despondently. “Julie said she didn’t want Beth upsetting me with her ‘dramatics’ and even compared her reaction to the one she had when she found out about Ronnie’s abortion…that was bad, man.”
“I’m sorry, Nick.” The doe-eyed man replied sympathetically as his hands fidgeted. It was clear that he wanted to offer some comfort but wasn’t sure what he could do. Finally, at a loss, he asked; “Can I make you some t- wait, you don’t like hot tea. How about an iced tea…or a beer?”
“A beer sounds great; thanks.” Nick stated with a weak grin. Then, he waited quietly while Greg got a beer for him as well as a cup of Earl Grey for himself. The Texan nodded his thanks and took a couple swigs before looking at the younger man again. “I don’t know what to do. Think I should call her…just get it over with?”
“I don’t think so... You said the fact that she hadn’t called probably meant she wanted to talk to her husband and your brothers and sisters, figure out what to tell her kids, and get over the shock before she spoke to you.” The sable-eyed man was vaguely impressed that Greg remembered everything he had said before the logic of the words started to settle in. “Now it sounds like Julie told her not to call you until she gets a handle on herself.”
The slender chemist reached out to place a hand on the older man’s arm. “I know it’s hard, but maybe you should let her come around at her own pace…there really isn’t much you can do if she’s not ready to handle this. Maybe she hasn’t called because she’s trying to spare your feelings while she works through her own issues.”
Nick sighed and leaned back against the sofa cushions limply, “Yeah…you’re right. I probably should have expected this, but after how well the others took it…” He gestured helplessly; “I guess I just figured it was all going to go smoothly. To be honest, I’m more worried about telling my dad now…and my grandparents. I always knew they wouldn‘t take it too well, but I assumed the rest of my family would support me at least, so I could handle it.”
“Five out of six siblings don’t have any problem with your sexuality, Nick.” Greg pointed out with a small, gentle grin as he shifted on the sofa to face Nick. “That’s pretty good…and you knew how each of your siblings would react to an extent; you were probably right about your parents before too. They love you and they‘ll support you. Just give it some time.”
The sable-eyed man rolled his head along the top of the sofa to look at Greg. “How did your family react when they fund out…aside from your dad?” He frowned at the memory of what Greg had told him already, and knew he would not be able to take hearing more details on that at the moment…not without punching a wall anyway.
“Uh,” the willowy youth released a light, slightly nervous laugh and leaned his side against the sofa’s back cushions so he could still face his friend. “My mom was upset at first; she was afraid it would just be one more excuse for the world to hurt me, and she worried that I’d end up with some jerk or player…still does, really. The grandkid thing bothered her too. I told her I hadn’t planned on having kids anyway, but she still took it a little rough.”
The muddle-haired man smiled tenderly and met his friend‘s gaze. “Papa and Nana Olaf just laughed and said they’d suspected as much for a couple years. Grandpa Haakon said everyone should have expected as much, since my mom wouldn’t let me behave like a ‘normal’ boy. I know that sounds mean, but he’s just like that…the fact that he teased meant it was just another one of my quirks to him.”
The Texan smiled and nodded. “It’s the same with RJ and Ronnie. They’re trying to be nice right now so I know they’re cool with it, but soon enough they’ll be giving me hell every chance they get.” He frowned, “Hey, what about your other grandmother?”
“Oh,” the smile fell from Greg’s face and his gaze dropped to somewhere around Nick’s knee. “Grandma cried when my mom called to tell her…I could hear her from the other room. She said I was going to hell. It wasn’t so bad, since she and Grandpa still lived in New York. Still, I was fourteen, so-”
“You were fourteen?” The sable-eyed man repeated incredulously. “How did you deal with all that? I can’t believe she would say that about a kid, especially you. Did she ever get over it?”
The younger man shrugged. “She adopted the ‘love the sinner; hate the sin’ approach a few weeks later, after she‘d thought on it and talked to grandpa, her friends, and their priest. We got along pretty well. She still wasn’t really okay with it when she passed away a couple years ago, but it was enough… I like to think she just loved me enough to overlook it for the most part.”
Nick furrowed his brows and shook his head. “Man, how can you be so positive? Your dad put you in the hospital and your grandmother cried and said you were going to hell. Doesn’t that get to you?”
“It was almost thirteen years ago, Nick;” Greg pointed out with a wry grin. “That was half a lifetime ago for me; I’ve had time to get over it. Besides, I already told you it only took a few weeks for us to figure out how to get along.”
The Texan sat straighter and turned towards his friend; “You really think that was working it out? She-”
“She tried to meet me halfway as best she could because she loved me,” the younger man interrupted. He sighed and placed a hand on Nick’s over the sofa cushion. “Hasn’t anyone ever told you something about themselves that took you a little while to reconcile with what you already knew about them?”
The burly man glanced down at their hands and then looked up to meet the younger man‘s eyes. “Uh, yeah…I guess.”
The muddle-haired youth raised his eyebrows slightly; “But you did because you cared about them, right?”
The corner of Nick‘s mouth twitched upwards. “Of course.”
Greg shrugged lightly and smiled at his friend. “Then relax, man. It’ll work out in the end.”
Nick shifted his hand to brush Greg’s palm with his thumb and reached out to cup his shoulder with his other hand. “Thanks, Greggo. You’re right…besides, if somethin’ like this is goin’ to be a deal breaker, I’d rather know now. And you’re right about the rest too. Seven positive responses and one not-too-bad negative so far; I should be happy.”
The willowy chemist smiled and nodded, but then paused with a confused expression. “Seven…I’m only counting five. Who else have you told?”
The Texan smiled widely. “You and Warrick, and you’ve both been great. I couldn‘t ask for a better reaction…well, I guess in your case-”
“Okay, okay; I get it,” Greg grinned. “When did you tell Warrick?”
“Today, after you left. He didn’t even bat an eye.” Nick bit his lip and squeezed the younger man’s shoulder. “Greg, I gotta be honest with you…I didn’t really tell Rick. He could tell I was interested in you -seems to think I’m jealous of the guy you mentioned today.” Both men laughed quietly at that. “Still, it didn’t change a thing between us and it was great to be able to talk to him honestly…although the idea of giving me tips on how to treat you seemed to ruffle him a bit. I think he‘s torn between helping me and protecting you.”
The eccentric blonde looked at the older man in surprise before laughing. “Warrick‘s trying to protect me? I knew he liked me more than he let on, but I didn’t expect that. Still, he‘s better than my mom…or Jacqui.” Nick chuckled and the chemist smiled easily; “And here I’d been worried about telling him.”
The sable-eyed man stared into his friend’s soulful eyes and slid the hand on Greg’s shoulder closer to his neck, which he unconsciously caressed with his fingertips. “I wouldn’t have worked up the nerve to tell him without you, Greg. I can’t believe you did that today…thank you.”
The muddle-haired youth subconsciously leaned into the older man’s touch as his eyes became hooded. He smiled openly and his eyes were tired but filled with affection. “I wanted to tell him eventually anyway;” Greg gave another little half shrug, which caused Nick’s hand to be cradled against his neck for a moment. “At least I could do it when it might help you…that made it easier.”
The CSI grazed his fingers over the slender man’s neck until he could gently grip it around the back. He stroked Greg with his thumb and shifted slightly closer. The younger man sighed softly and Nick smiled. “You really are somethin’, you know…”
Nick shifted closer still, until he could feel Greg’s breath quicken. The older man leaned forward until his knee hit the remote he had not noticed earlier and the stereo turned on, filling the apartment with Marilyn Manson’s cover of I Put A Spell On You.
Nick froze immediately and Greg took a deep breath before both men stood. Nick ran a hand through his hair and Greg’s hands began to shake as they moved to put a couple feet between them. The Texan swore softly; he had only gone to Greg for a friendly ear and some moral support, not to hit on him. He glanced about the room for an idea of what to do and noticed the clock.
“It’s, uh, getting late,” the sable-eyed man looked at the willowy youth. “I should go. Thanks for listening…you really helped me put things in perspective.” He hesitated before moving around the muddle-haired youth to head out, but Greg stopped him.
“Nick,” the younger man took another deep breath and met his friend’s gaze when he turned around. “Why don’t you just sleep here again? You left your clothes here last time; they’re in the bottom drawer in the guestroom. It’s late, and it’s been a demanding day.”
“Yeah,” Nick nodded and looked around the room; “It has been. Thanks.” He rubbed the back of his neck and turned back to the blonde. “Greg, are we okay?”
The muddle-haired chemist nodded and then smiled tiredly. The CSI smiled in return and nodded. “Okay…” He started to turn for the guestroom, but paused halfway, deciding he might as well push it a little while he was ahead.
“Hey; since it seems like I’m crashing here pretty often lately, do you mind if I just leave some clothes here? People are gonna start talking if I keep comin’ to work in the same two sets of clothes.”
The younger man looked a little disheartened at the last comment, but quickly turned it into another tired grin before he shrugged lightly again. “Well, you do work with investigators. Just leave the top two drawers clear for when Granpa Haakon or Nana Olaf visit. With his bad hip and her arthritis, it’s easier for them to use those. Surprisingly, Papa Olaf’s still active as ever…or unsurprisingly, I guess. Nana‘s always said he‘d outlive us all; young at heart and all that.”
The Texan grinned, feeling put at ease by Greg’s familiar babbling and family anecdotes. He also realized that the dresser in the younger man’s guestroom had four drawers and Greg had only asked him to keep two clear. Obviously, they really were all right.
“Thanks, Greg. Good night.”
“Night, Nick…” The older man was halfway to the guestroom when Greg’s voice stopped him. “Hey, do you wanna come back for dinner tomorrow?”
Nick turned and looked at his friend bemusedly, not sure how to take the sudden query. “Yeah…yeah, that’d be great.” He noted a look of nervous relief cross the willowy man’s features before he nodded and grinned lightly. “Any reason why?”
“I just thought…” Greg sounded uncharacteristically uncertain before he sighed and shrugged; “Maybe we should talk a little more.”
The Texan’s grin broadened; “Yeah, thanks. You’ve really been a good friend through all this. Sorry I got a little-”
The willowy youth shook his head; “You don’t have anything to be sorry about, Nick. I‘m glad I could help. God natt.”
The brawny CSI smiled and nodded, “Good Night, Greggo. See ya in the mornin’.”
