Summary: In one of the episodes of How I Met Your Mother the character create a list of 50 reasons to have sex. So I’ve written a fic for every reason. The fics are mostly slash and are from several different fandoms including (but not limited to) BBC Sherlock, Supernatural, Grimm, and Glee. Most fics stand alone.
In this chapter Monroe tells Nick he love him but Nick is nervous about saying it back.
Masterpost
The first time Monroe drops the L-bomb on Nick it’s about six months into their relationship. They’re both still riding the adrenalin high of defeating a rouge Wesen. They make out on Monroe’s couch like horny teenagers, messy and desperate. Monroe is lying on top of Nick as they kiss. Their hands explore the contours of their closely pressed bodies.
“God, I can’t believe how much I love you,” Monroe says in a low voice as he begins to strip Nick of his clothes. Nick freezes for a moment, suddenly becoming tense. It’s gone so quickly that Monroe convinces himself that he imagined it. Then, Nick is sucking a deep mark on Monroe’s neck right at the spot that drives him absolutely crazy. Monroe doesn’t even realize that Nick didn’t say anything back until much later.
X.X.X
Monroe says it again a few days later. Nick is coming to Monroe’s house for dinner after a long day of chasing completely human bad guys. The Blutebad greets him with a kiss.
“I’m glad you’re home,” Monroe says. “I love you.”
It’s a relatively chaste kiss so Monroe is surprised to feel a hand stroking his cock through his pants. Not that he’s complaining. Although dinner is cold by the time Nick and Monroe are in the frame of mind to think about food.
Monroe begins to become more comfortable with saying those 3 little words. He says it when Nick leaves for work, when Nick comes home, during sex, really whenever he feels the urge. He doesn’t pay attention to the fact that Nick hasn’t said it back. He doesn’t want to rush the Grimm. He isn’t even aware that anything is wrong until nearly two weeks after Monroe first tells Nick that he loves him.
X.X.X
Monroe calls Nick at work to ask him a question.
“Burkhart,” Nick answers his cell on the third ring.
“Hey it’s me,” Monroe says. “I’m at the grocery store and wanted to know if you had any opinions on dinner. Or at least any ideas within my Weider diet. ”
“Um... I can’t come over tonight. I’ve got a case.” Nick says uneasily into the phone.
“Oh. Anything I can help with?” Monroe offers.
“No,” Nick says a bit too quickly. “It’s not a Wesen thing. Just a normal human thing.”
“Ok, tomorrow night then,” Nick makes a grunt-like noise that Monroe takes as agreement. “I love you.” There’s only a dial tone in response.
Despite what Monroe said he doesn’t see Nick the next day or the day after that or the day after that. Monroe begins to wonder if the case Nick is working on will ever be resolved so he can get his boyfriend back.
X.X.X
On Friday Monroe has a guy’s night out with some of his Weider friends at a local bar. As he enters the building he’s surprised to see Hank and an Asian cop sitting at a table near the back of the room.
“Oh hey man,” Monroe greets them.
“Hey, how’s it going?” Hank returns the greeting.
“Can’t complain,” Monroe says. “I’m surprised to see you here. I thought you’d be at the station helping Nick out with the big case.” Both cops look at Monroe in confusion.
“What case?” Hank asks. “We haven’t had anything big in a while.”
“Yeah, the precinct’s been dead all week,” Wang Wong Wu agrees.
Monroe stares at them blankly for a moment. There had to be a case. Nick told him there was a case. It’d been Nick’s excuse for not coming to Monroe’s house all week. Someone was lying and given that Hank had no motive it was Nick.
But why? Why would Nick lie to him? He’d thought everything had been going fine. He thinks back to the last few weeks. He remembers the way Nick’s been evasive and nervous lately. Nick’s been pulling away for weeks. Monroe was oblivious to it before but it’s obvious now.
Monroe barely remembers saying goodbye to Hank or if he made an excuse to his friends. He’s on autopilot as he gets in the car and drives. He finds himself at Nick’s house, the one he shared for years with Juliet. Monroe rings the doorbell.
Nick answers the door in plaid pajama-pants and a loose fitting t-shirt. He looks surprised to see Monroe.
“Monroe, what are you doing here?”
“What’s going on, Nick?” Monroe asks. “Where have you been this past week?”
“Nothing,” Nick responds still nervous. “I’m just busy with work.”
“That’s not what hank said. Is this because I told you I love you. That’s low, man…”
“I don’t want you to die,” Nick blurts out.
“Run that by me again.”
“I don’t want you to die,” Nick repeats. The rest of the story comes spilling out. “I was hoping if I pulled away maybe we could go back to being friends. I’d rather have you as just a friend than dead or gone.”
“Why would you think I’m going to die?” Monroe wonders.
“Everyone I get too close to dies or leaves,” Nick explains. “Juliet, aunt marie, my dad. My mom even came back from the dead just to leave me again. I don’t want you to be next. I can’t keep doing this.”
Nick is upset, almost shaking, as he speaks to Monroe. The Blutebad pulls the Grimm into his arms. Nick grips him tights. Monroe tries to stroke his back soothingly.
“I can’t promise I won’t die,” Monroe says. “Our life is dangerous but I’ll do everything I can to stay with you. Because I can’t stop loving you. I won’t stop loving you.”
“I love you too,” Nick finally says.
AN: I’m sorry I basically fell off the earth for 3 weeks. I’m going to try to post the next chapter within the next week. I want to finish this fic before the month is over. Please leave me a review. They help keep me motivated.
