alphabetasoup David was just browsing through Nick’s fridge. So far, he’s uncovered a gooey orange lump of something stashed at the back and a pack of Cheeze Freeze* slotted in between bottles of beer. The rest, understandably, were healthy foods that a man like Nick required to maintain a body like his.
His body was nothing like Nick’s. God forbid, he wasn’t horrendous-looking or anything. He didn’t have a proper six-pack like Nick but he had traces of it. They were what Nick would sometimes trace after their post-orgasmic activities. They had even worked out together sometimes, at the gym but it wasn’t long till both of them gave in to their own desires. Come on; let’s face it, watching your partner sweat while doing weights? Totally calls for a major hard-on.
At work though, it was a different matter. David tried his best not to flare up whenever he caught someone staring at Nick. Nick was certainly something to ogle at but good God, did they have to make it so blindingly obvious? And those day-shift techs; he had wanted to add Tabasco sauce to their coffees so badly.
He had walked into the break room early that morning, desperate for a coffee fix after doing a triple. He was having a migraine, Archie had called in sick, Jacqui was PMS-ing, he had backlog that would only end when Hell froze over and Sanders, who was out in the field, had forgotten to do the coffee for him. David, was not happy.
And the two female day-shift techs did not make it any easier.
“Hey, did you get a load of Nick?”
“I swear that man looks finer every day!”
“D’you think he’s taken up?”
“No idea, he doesn’t let on much about his personal life”
“Though...Jacqui claimed she saw him wear a golden ring with a chain around his neck once”
“How’d Jacqui know? She see him naked?”
“Nah, he probably just unbuttoned his shirt since it was hot or something”
“I wouldn’t mind doing that!”
”What? Unbuttoning his shirt or getting him all hot and bothered?”
“Try both!”
Okay, that was the last straw. David spoke up.
"Ladies, I would appreciate it if you could keep all these... inappropriate and irrelevant ramblings to yourselves and preferably mention it when I'm not in the room because hearing how hot my co-worker is...is...extremely excruciating"
“Whatever Hodges! You’re just jealous!”
“Heck yeah, I am” he thought.
“What the fuck is there to be jealous of?” he demanded.
“Nick’s body, in which, you don’t have!” she responded before she and her sidekick stalked out of the break room.
“Speak for yourself” he muttered just as his boyfriend strolled in.
“Hey Dave” Nick said.
He gave his lover a quick reply before heading back to his lab.
He sighed as he sat beside Nick on the couch, who was watching an episode of Star Trek.
“Effing hell, you need to stop hanging out with Archie, man!” he demanded.
Nick gave him a sly grin before replying
“Jealous?”
David snorted.
“Of what? You getting daily lectures on the oh-so-interesting lives of beings and whatnot on Stargate?”
“Star Trek” Nick implied.
David gave him a glare before saying,
“I can’t believe you’re making me watch this. Do you have any idea how many brain cells I’ve killed just by glancing at this horrendous thing for 5 seconds? Five seconds, Nick! I’m supposed to be the evil bastard here!”
“Well, this shows how much you love me, doesn’t it?” Nick replied, smirking.
David steered out of the mushy-ness.
“And why do you have a packet of Cheeze Freeze in your fridge? You know that thing is pure evil, I’ve told you before, they-“and Nick cut him off.
“Yes, I’m clearly aware of what they provide me with and whatnot but seriously Dave, you need to stop obsessing over what I eat. I think my body proves that I can take care of myself, don’t you think?”
Oh, he loved moments like these. Nick didn’t show this side of him too often, other than for bets with Warrick or the rest of the team about something. He adored Cocky Nick.
“Oh, your body proves much more than that, Texas boy, trust me” he smirked.
“Yeah, than be thankful that you’re the only one who’s gonna get a piece of the action then!”
“Now?”
“Later. Right after this show,” Nick replied and took a swig of his beer.
Oh, Archie is going down.
