A/N This story was bugging me somehow. Just had to get it out. :-)
Summary: Nick finds out the truth.

***


"Hey Greg, what are you doing?" Nick asked entering the lab.

"Nothing! And that's the problem 'cause I'm really bored out of my skull here! Please tell me you have something to do for me? Greg practically begged.

'I can think of something... no Nick! Snap out of it, he does not see you that way!' "Sorry G, it's a very slow night."

Greg sighed heavily and dropped his head onto the table. "I think I'm gonna prove the theory about being bored to death tonight!"

"Come on G, it can't be that bad!"

"No it's worse, I mean, not even my coffee can keep me from falling asleep on the spot! That's how bored I am!" Greg whined.

Nick chuckled. "Okay that is bad, but you're smart. You'll think of something. See ya later!" And Nick walked out of the lab again.

=== half hour later ===

"Greg! What the hell did you do! Nick said in utter disbelieve.

"Hey you told me I could think of something and I did!" Greg said defensively.

"Well I didn't mean for you to use the lab's walls as a big drawing board!"

"O come on! Nobody even noticed! Except for you, but my point of doing this is a part of a little experiment. I mean I was almost bored to death, I had to do something to save my life!"

"What kind of experiment are you talking about?" Nick was a little cautious now.

"Well you noticed the drawings immediately when you walked into the lab, but when I was creating these fine pieces of art, nobody even noticed what I was doing. So I'm proving that this lab works way too hard to even see fun things." Greg explained with a semi serious face.

Nick just stood there, stunned.

"Don't worry, you noticed so you have a good eye for fun" Greg stated simply.

'I have eyes for very fun things alright! You're one of em' "Well you're right about that, but what do you think Griss is gonna say if he saw what you did to the lab. Although I must say that these drawings are pretty good."

Greg made a little bow. "Thank you! And IF Grissom notices, I'll blame it on the fact that I was bored. I'll clean it up eventually." Greg grinned.

Nick just laughed.

Then Judy poked her head round the door. "Nice drawings! Hey Sanders, there is a guy at the front desk for you. He wanted to talk to you, said it was urgent."

Nick saw that Greg flinched a little.

"What does he... he look like" Greg asked softly.

"Very blond short hair, brown eyes, dark baggy clothes and he looked a little angry." Judy summed up.

Greg closed his eyes and sighed "I don't want to see him. Judy, can you tell him that you can't find me or I'm helping the CSI's in the field, please." Greg asked her.

"Sure." Judy left.

"What was that all about? Do you know that guy?" Nick asked a hint of concern in his voice.

"Yeah, his name is JJ and he's my...friend." Greg sighed again.

"Greg if he's your friend, then why did you sent him away?"

"Nick please, I don't want to talk about it." Greg said sadly and began to wipe the windows clean.

"Okay, but if you want to talk, you know were to find me" Nick said and -although reluctant- left the lab.

Greg sighed again and sat down with his head resting in his hands, his eyes closed.

'I can't believe this! He told me that he was gonna back off a little. I tell him I need some space in our relationship and then he starts checking up on me at work! I don't even love him anymore. That's it! I need to tell him it's over.'

Greg took a deep breath and finished wiping the windows.

===

'What's going on with you Greg? Who is that guy? I can see that you're hurting somehow. I wish I knew what it was. I need some air.' Nick thought and walked outside.

Outside Greg's 'friend' JJ was leaning against the wall. "Hey you!" the man yelled at Nick and motioned for him to come over.

Nick cautiously walked towards the man.

"Do you happen to know where I can find a Greg Sanders?"

"Haven't seen him, why?" Nick lied, remembering Greg didn't want to see this guy.

"Just wanna talk to him. You sure you don't know where I can find him?" the man sounded a little threatening now.

"You sound like you're desperate to talk to him man! I don't know where he is!" Nick said walking away.

"No wait! You work with him right? Are you friends?"

"Yes, but why..." Nick was cut short by the man.

"If you see him, tell him that I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." With that the man walked away, leaving a very confused Nick behind.

'What the hell was that all about?' Nick walked back inside and went looking for Greg.

He couldn't find Greg anywhere and he was called to a scene so he didn't see him till shift was over. Greg was alone in the locker room, pulling his jacket on.

"Hey" Nick entered the room and walked to his locker.

"Hey" Greg sat on the bench, tying his shoelaces.

"I ran into that JJ guy today." Nick said casually. He could see that Greg tensed up.

"Oh?" was all Greg could bring out.

"Yeah he asked if I knew where to find you."

Greg only sighed.

"He also told me that if I saw you today, I had to tell you that he was sorry for what happened yesterday?"

"No he's not. He never is." Greg said dryly, already walking away. Nick stopped him however.

"Greg, I don't know what's going on but if you ever want to talk..."

"I know Nick, thanks" Greg walked away.

Nick sighed and went home.

=== Greg's Place ===

Greg closed the door behind him and threw his keys on the table.

"Where were you today!?" JJ asked angrily.

"I was at work, JJ! And from what I heard you were too! What the hell where you doing there anyway? Checking up on me!? I thought I made it clear yesterday I wanted some room!" Greg said just as angry.

"You want some room so you can cheat on me! I won't let that happen you know you're mine! I spoke to one of your friends and he was good looking so you must flirt around and I don't want that!" JJ was yelling now.

"First of all; he is a co worker, second; I definitely am NOT yours, and third; I don't cheat. And let me tell you something else; I've had I with you, I can't take it anymore." Greg yelled back at him.

"You're telling me you're breaking up with me!? The hell you don't Greg, you belong to me!" JJ was now furious.

"I don't belong to you JJ! Get out NOW! We're through!" Greg screamed.

"You're not getting rid of me that easily" JJ slammed Greg into a wall and began hitting him hard.

"Stop JJ!" Greg chocked out.

JJ kept hitting and kicking him. "If I can't have you, no one can." He screamed and with that Greg slumped to the floor unconscious.

Nick was watching TV when his phone rang.

"Stokes." He said automatically.

"Nick...help...please"

Nick sat up straight. "Greg... is that you? What's going on?" Nick was now extremely worried.

"Help..." Greg could barely whisper.

"Hold on G, I'm on my way." Nick was already halfway out the door before he hung up the phone. He grabbed his keys and drove as fast as he could.

When he arrived, the door was ajar. He carefully pushed the door open and then he saw it. Greg was lying on his side against the wall, face covered in blood and phone in hand. Somehow he had managed to get to the phone. Nick ran toward Greg and knelt down.

"My God Greg! What happened, who did this?" Nick said softly to the semi conscious man.

"You need to go to the hospital Greg, I'm calling an ambulance!" Nick already took his phone out.

"No! No doctors." Greg whispered as loud as he could.

"Honey, you are badly hurt!" Nick sat there, not knowing what to do.

Nick sighed. "Okay, can you sit up?" With Nick's help Greg finally was in a sitting position.

"Let's get you out of these clothes first." Nick walked to the bedroom and took a wide shirt and sweatpants out of the closet and returned to Greg again. He carefully unbuttoned the shirt. Nick gasped. Greg's whole chest was full with bruises.

"My God!" Nick whispered softly with tears in his eyes. "That's it Greg, I'm not gonna move you, you could have broken something." He said firmly.

"No, please!" Greg begged, breathing heavily.

"Greg you need medical attention and I'm no doctor!" Nick sighed "Listen; I'm gonna call a friend who is a doctor, okay?" Nick explained.

Greg just grumbled.

Nick took out his phone again and dialled the number. "Hey Robin! How ya doing? Good good, hey listen, can you do me a favour? I have a friend here who took quiet a beating but he refuses to go to the hospital. Can you help him? Great thanks!" Nick gave Robin the address and sat in front of Greg again.

"Just hold on Greg, help is on the way. In the mean time though, you can tell me who did this to you." Nick said gently wiping a strand of hair out of Greg's bloody face.

Greg just closed his eyes and dropped his head.

"Okay, I get to guess. Uhm... well that shouldn't be to hard. Your 'friend' JJ, maybe?" Nick asked.

Greg still didn't say anything and kept his eyes closed. Nick gently lifted his chin up.

"Look at me Greg; did JJ do this to you?" Nick asked softly.

Greg only nodded, but kept his eyes closed.

"Open your eyes Greg look at me." Nick asked again.

Greg finally opened his eyes and Nick saw fear and plain flashing through them and Greg started to cry. Nick gently hugged him and Greg let him self sob into Nick's shoulder.

"Sshh...It's okay baby. It's gonna be alright, don't you worry, I've got you." Nick whispered soothingly.

They sat like that for almost 15 minutes before there was a gentle knock on the door. Greg tensed but Nick knew who it was.

"I'm just gonna answer the door okay, I'll be right back." Nick stood up and opened the door.

"Hey Robin, glad you could come." Nick took a step back and let the man in.

"Anytime Nick, now where is your friend?" Robin followed Nick into the room and saw Greg sitting on the floor.

"My god! What the hell happened?" Robin exclaimed.

"Like I said, he took a one hell of a beating. Can you check him, see if anything is broken?" Nick asked worriedly.

"Sure." He slowly walked towards Greg and kneeled down next to him. Greg tried to pull away.

"Greg this is Robin, he is a good friend of mine and he is gonna check you for any serious injuries." Nick tried to calm Greg down.

Robin took a look at Greg's chest and saw the bruises.

"Hey Nick, you sure he only took this beating cause there are bruises that are several days old." Robin asked carefully

"What!" Nick now also kneeled down and looked Greg in the eye.

"Greg how long is this going on?" he asked softly

Greg tried to look away again but Nick wouldn't let him this time.

"2 months" Greg whispered softly.

Nick swallowed "JJ?"

Greg only nodded.

"God Greg why didn't you tell me?"

"You don't understand Nick." Greg said sadly.

"Nick can you help me to get him up?" Robin asked.

"Sure, is he okay?"

"Yeah, he's gonna be sore for a of couple days and I have to clean his face but nothing is broken and his ribs are miraculously fine. I mean with this kind of beating you would expect a broken rib or 2." Robin said amazed.

"He also has a mild concussion, so he can be a bit confused but it should be fine"

They helped Greg to the couch and Robin cleaned his cuts. Nick helped him to get into clean clothes. Greg just let it happen.

"Greg do you have any ice here" Robin asked gently. Greg was to numb to answer.

"I'll check the fridge." Nick said worriedly and walked to the kitchen. Robin followed him.

"Nick, this JJ, who is that?" Robin asked carefully.

"I don't know but he showed up at work today practically demanding to see Greg. When I asked Greg about him, he said JJ was a friend. Which I found weird because Greg didn't want to see him."

"Well if you have a really serious beef and it gets this violent, you usually end up with a broken rib or something. With Greg it almost seemed like his attacker was pretty angry but also managed to hold back for at least the tiniest bit. It was almost like he subconsciously didn't want for Greg to be hurt to badly. It's just weird." Robin said.

"I think I know what you mean, I saw this a couple of times at my job. Boyfriend battered his girlfriend but was sorry for it and the girl took him back and it started al over again...Oh! You think JJ..." Nick was amazed

"Is Greg's boyfriend? Yeah I think so."

"I didn't even know Greg went that way." Nick still couldn't believe it.

"Come on, we better get this icepack to Greg." Robin and Nick walked back to Greg.

"Here, keep this against your eye." Robin handed Greg the wrapped in a dishcloth icepack. "You are gonna be sore for a while but it should heal fine. You have a concussion so take it easy for a few days. I better get going." Robin said.

"Thank you." Greg whispered.

"No need to, bye Greg." Robin walked towards the door. Nick let him out.

"Nick, talk to him okay, take care."

"I will and thank you Robin." Nick shook his hand

"Bye Nick." And Robin left. Nick took a deep breath and sat down next to Greg on the couch.

"He's nice." Greg stated

"Yeah." Nick sighed. "Greg, why didn't you tell me?"

"There is nothing to tell, we just had a little fight, even friends fight you know." Greg just stared of in space, his eyes glassy.

"Greg...I don't think he is your...friend. I think he is your...boyfriend." Nick said carefully.

"Ex boyfriend, I broke up with him and that's why he did this." Greg said softly, tears in his eyes. "I never thought he would snap like this, I mean, he hit me before but never like he did today." Greg was crying again and shaking violently.

"Oh Greg." Nick again pulled Greg close and let him sob.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Greg repeated over and over again.

"Baby, look at me! You have nothing to be sorry for! It's not your fault!" Nick said firmly.

Greg only nodded. Suddenly he realized something.

"You called me baby. And come to think of it, you called me honey too! Why?" Greg asked softly, but more to himself rather than to Nick.

"I didn't realize I did that." Nick said surprised. But Greg already forgot as he changed the subject again.

"I'm scared Nick, what if he comes back?"

"I'm here, he won't hurt you I promise."

"Why haven't you run away yet?" Greg asked suddenly, in an almost childlike voice.

"What do you mean?" Nick asked confused.

"Every time I tell someone I'm gay, they run. My parents did, some of my friends did, but you didn't, why?"

"I'm really sorry they ran away from you, but why would I run away from what I am myself." Nick said carefully.

"Yourself? You mean you're..."

"Gay? Yes I am, I just never told anyone." Nick said shyly

Greg was stunned and he became more awake. "I never guessed that. So that's why you called me those names. I...I like it."

Nick just smiled. Greg leaned in and kissed Nick shyly, trying, testing. Nick was too shocked to respond for a second but kissed Greg back, deepening the kiss. As they came up for air they both smiled.

"I wanted to do that for a long time. I just thought you weren't interested." Greg confessed.

"Same here G. And I definitely am interested" Nick smiled and placed a sweet gentle kiss on the younger man's lips.

"I KNEW IT!!" A loud scream came from the doorway. JJ stormed towards Greg but Nick was faster and pushed JJ away.

"Back off, you did enough, get out NOW!" Nick was furious.

"How dare you talk to me like that!? He's mine!" JJ took a swing at Nick but missed. Nick could smell the alcohol very clearly. Nick pushed the man again and this time he lost his balance. JJ stood up and Nick quickly gave him a punch to the head. JJ fell down and was left unconscious. Nick took out his phone and called Brass to pick him up. Then he returned to Greg who was sitting on the couch with his knees pulled up to his chest and his arms firmly around them. Tears were streaming down his face.

"It's okay baby, he's not gonna hurt you again." Nick rocked Greg in his arms till Brass came.

"Okay tell me what happened?" Brass asked in his usual tone. Nick quickly explained everything.

"You both okay?" Brass asked friendly

"Yeah I think so. Greg is still shaken up pretty badly." Nick sighed.

"You do know that we have to ask you the usual set of questions right?"

"We both will come in early, so can you do it then? We both need some sleep." Nick asked

"Sure take care." Brass patted him on the shoulder and walked out, taking the now half conscious JJ with him.

Nick closed the door and took Greg's hands and led him to the bedroom. He laid Greg in bed and was about to leave to sleep on the couch when he was pulled back.

"Can you...can you please stay?" Greg asked shyly. Nick could see the fear in his eyes.

Nick smiled reassuringly and got in next to him. Greg curled up against Nick's side and Nick just held him close. After a little while they both fell asleep.

=== Next Shift Crime Lab ===

The questions were hard for Greg and he was glad that it was over. He was still sore and when he had woken up, his head was pounding. He was glad Nick was there to help him. He went to the break room to get a cup of coffee. Nick already sat at the table.

"How did it go?" Nick asked.

"Let's just say, I'm glad it's over" Greg let out a breath.

"How are you feeling?" Nick asked, still worried.

"Still sore but my headache is gone now." Greg smiled "Thank you Nick, for everything"

"Anytime G, I'm here for you, just remember that. The guy is behind bars, he can't hurt you anymore." Nick smiled softly.

"I know." Greg carefully sat down next to Nick and sighed. "Wanna go out for breakfast after shift?"
"I'd love to" Nick gave Greg's hand a squeeze, his eyes full of love. Greg smiled.


Greg knew then that his life with Nick was going to be fantastic. Because for the first in a long long time, Greg felt completely save, completely loved but most of all; just finally complete.
