"Nick."

Nick looked up to find Greg staring at him, an excited look on his face. "What?"

"I think we should get a cat."

Nick blinked a few times, usually that look on Greg's face meant he was thinking about either dinner or sex. Or both of them. He shrugged. "I don't like cats, G."

Hoping Greg would let it go he returned his attention to his book, not surprised though when Greg said, "Well, a dog then. You do like dogs, Nick."

Nick sighed, yes he did like dogs, but having a dog and working the nightshift just wasn't a good idea. Not practical at all. And why had Greg all of a sudden decided they needed a pet? "Yeah I do, Greg. But what's up with the pet thing, man?"

Greg gave him a little shrug. "I don't know. I like petting things, I guess."

Nick chuckled at that. "I know that, Greg."

Greg rolled his eyes but couldn't hide a small smile when he said, "I figured I needed something else to pet, just in case you get bored with me."

"Never gonna happen, G."
