Fic: Poinsettias, numb3rs (G)
Don't own; don't sue.

Colby Granger stomped over to his desk and stared at the gigantic affront that sat there. His desk was covered in them.
“Not fucking funny,” he growled at David who was chuckling behind him.
He grabbed the largest offender and turned to dump it into Don’s garbage can.
“Hey, hey, what are you doing?” Nikki asked rescuing his would-be victim.
“Getting rid of this monstrosity,” Colby grabbed another to toss.
“What is your problem?” she asked with her hand on his chest to stop him.
“It’s not my problem. It’s these two jokers.” He pointed at the snickering David and Don. “They’re behind this.”
“And you’re upset because…?”
“Because undefeated Boise State will play TCU in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.”
“Thus the desk full of poinsettias.”
“Yeah.” Colby continued to mutter as he set the pot back on his desk, “Couldn't have played in a real bowl game. Not the Rose Bowl or the Orange Bowl, even the Cotton Bowl. No, it had to be the damn Poinsettia Bowl. I hate poinsettias.”
“Oh, does that mean you don’t want these?” Don held up four tickets to the game.
Colby jaw dropped for a few seconds before he snagged the tickets from Don’s hand. He grinned when he saw the seats were on the 50-yard line. The smile turned wicked as he headed for the elevator.
“Hey! Where are you going?”
“I’ve got to find three people to go with me. And get that mess off my desk, will you?”
