Title: Lonely People Do Foolish Things

Author: Jaxson K.

Pairing: Greg/Nick pre-slash

Rating: G

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

 

 

 

            Greg wonders why he waits for Nick to call every night, sitting next to a phone

that never rings. He also wonders why he stares at the picture he took of Nick at the

last team barbeque, especially since it hurts so bad to know that Nick doesn't seem

to know he exists outside of work. Sure, he flirts with Greg sometimes, but that's  so

he can get his results from the lab quicker. And, yes, Greg does try to put Nick at the

top of the list as much as he can.

 

            Sometimes, Greg will go for a walk at the park pretending Nick is walking

with him. Afterward, he goes to some little out-of-the-way restaurant, picks out a nice table for two, and pours out his heart to an empty chair. Of course, this is all done in his mind because he doesn't want anybody to think he's crazy. Sometimes

he even goes to the video store and when picking out movies, will pick one Nick

might like so he can pretend Nick is there on the sofa watching with him.

 

            But the saddest part, for Greg, is when it's time to go to bed. He longs to

have Nick take him in his arms and love him to sleep so much until his heart litteraly aches. He can't even begin to count the tears he's cried wishing Nick was holding

him. Greg often wonders why he goes on fooling himself because tomorrow will

just be one more day of being lonely.

 

            He's tried more than once to get up the nerve to tell Nick what's really on

his mind, but self-preservation and a strong fear of rejection have stopped him dead in his tracks. So he goes on day after day doing the things it is he does because that's just how it is when lonely people do foolish things.

It really is sad indeed. I did these very tings when I first met Randy. He and I have been together for 17 years, and it took him to make the first move..... I'm so very glad he did! Love, Jaxson;)

This is so sad...yet, so beautiful. I think you've captured the unrequited love between Nick and Greg perfectly.

Well done, darling :)
