“Get to the point, I wanna go back to bed.” Greg groaned. He hadn’t bothered
to get dressed, he had just thrown an old bath robe over his T-shirt and boxers.
Nick walked to his living room and started pacing back and forth. “Mikey told me
what he said to you.”
“About moving to San Francisco?”
“You can’t do it.”
“Why not?”
“You live here! Your job`s here, your friend`s are here, you cant leave.”
“There’s open positions in the Frisco crime lab, and I still have friends there.
And most importantly, you have nothing to say to that!”
“I have a lot to say to that! This thing includes my brother and you, so I’m tied
to it from both ends. Would you just listen?”
“Nick, you have one minute. Get to the point.”
“Please, don’t leave. I’m asking you. don’t leave.”
“Why? Can you tell me one reason why I shouldn’t go with Mikey?”
Nick had no idea how to say it, and his self control gave in. He grabbed Greg closer
and kissed him. After the first shock disappeared, Greg squeezed Nick shoulders
pulling him closer.
“What the hell was that?” Greg panted when they finally separated.
“You asked me to give you a reason to stay.”
“How… Since when have you been into guys?”
“It’s kind of a new discovery.” Nick was blushing. “And I started carefully, with
just one guy.”
“You just suddenly realized….” A crooked smile appeared on Greg’s face. “So
that’s what this is about….sibling rivalry.”
“No, that’s not-”
“You’ve known me for years and now suddenly you make this big discovery.
Conveniently when I’m with your brother. Or is that part of your plan?”
“What plan?”
“To break up me and Mikey. You claim you want me, Mikey goes to Frisco
and then you dump me.”
“That’s not fair!”
“I’ll tell you what isn’t fair. I liked you a lot for years, but you had no interest in
me. Then I found a great guy who wants me, and then you have a sudden
revelation. That’s not fair.”
“You mean you…” Nick stared at him with his mouth hanging open.
“How is it possible to make a living figuring things out and not notice things
right in front of you?” Greg took a soothing breath. “You`re minute’s gone, get
out.”
“Not yet, what did you mean-” Nick didn’t get a chance to finish his sentence.
Greg grabbed him, and literally pushed his out of the door. Nick could only
stare when a door was slammed shut.
A minute later the door was opened and Greg pinned him against the wall
giving him a rough, demanding kiss. Before Nick had time to kiss him back,
Greg was gone again and the door was shut.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nick tried to get some sleep, but he didn’t succeed. His two kisses with Greg
had just confirmed what he had already figured out. He wanted Greg.
A key jingled in the lock and the front door was opened. Nick got up, but he didn’t
get any further than the door of his bedroom, before he bumped into a fist. He fell
on the floor.
“You better start explaining, and make it good.” Mikey stood above him, glaring him.
“Explain what?” Nick asked, but he had a pretty good idea what he was talking about.
“What you said to Greg!”
“How much did he tell you?” Nick asked carefully.
“He told me he wanted to think about things and that we shouldn’t see each other
for some time so that he can consider where we’re going. And then came the highlight!”
“What?”
“I asked why he wanted to take some space now. He said he had talked with you,
and that I should ask you.”
“Listen, can we wait with this conversation until he’s made his decision? If he stays
in Vegas, it really doesn’t matter what I said.” Nick knew it was a poor evasion, but
Mikey seemed angry already. He didn’t want to give him a reason for another punch.
“It matters! You had no right to go talking to him behind my back. What’s going on
with you, you’re not even acting like yourself-” Mikey paused. “Wait a minute…
That’s it. You want him. Don’t you?”
“Are you gonna hit me again if I say yes?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.” Nick admitted.
“Why didn’t you say something before? If you two already had something-”
“No, we never had anything going on.”
“So… What happened? You saw him with me and got jealous?”
“No… Well, something like that.” Nick was interrupted by his cell phone. He
snapped it open. “Stokes. Where? Okay, I’ll be there.” He shut the cell.
“Work?”
“Yeah, I need to go. Can we talk about this some other time?”
“Sure, but you better remember something.”
“What?”
“I don’t care if you’re my brother or not. I’m not giving up on Greg, so you better
watch out. You try sabotaging this behind my back again and I’ll make you pay
for it.”
