Everything 1/1

Everywhere Greg looked, something reminded him of Nick.

He was sitting on the bed in a room he was still getting used to. Greg’s hands idly played with the silver bracelet around his left wrist. It had been a gift from Nick, on their first anniversary. Funny thing was, Greg had inadvertently gotten Nick the exact same thing. He laughed a little as he remembered the moment when they realized what they’d done.

Unclasping the bracelet, Greg set it down on the bedside table. He stood up, stretched, and wandered over to the closet. Rifling through the shirts, he pulled out a faded blue tee that Nick had given to him ages ago. He held it tight, sniffed it. It smelled like the Texan. Greg was hit with a sudden rush of memories.

Even the little details in the room, like the take-out menus they had used for a quick dinner so many times, just screamed Nick. And the TV, on mute, was playing one of Nick’s favorite forensic documentaries. Hell, even the red pillows mocked his loneliness. Red was Nick’s favorite color.

He looked down at the phone and picked it up, contemplated calling. Greg wanted to hear Nick’s voice. He started dialing the familiar number, but stopped and set it back down. Now wouldn’t be a good time.

Greg looked around the hotel room and smiled. There was only one day left of the conference, and Nick was waiting for him back home.

A/N: I hope this had the effect that I was trying to create! *big grin*

Well, brat, if you wanted us to think that something horrible had happened to Nick at first, then you had the desired effect! :D I really liked this.

You tease! I was actually sitting here going "So wait...Nick's not...and Greg's just...and they'll be...in no time...!" But still, brilliantly done, you created the desired effect and I am suitably shocked :O <---- shocked face.

Oh Jeff, you mean mean child. At first I didn't know what effect you were talking about BUT now I know & that wasn't nice at all. * kicks you *

On the other hand, I liked it. As always. =]

I commented at your journal Jeff, just next time don't scare me like that.

Shit. Had to read that carefully. Me likey.

Cruel Jeff, just cruel.

I wasn't sure if this was post-Gravedigger and Nick was in the hospital, or Nick was (gasp!shock!) dead, or that the two of them had broken up or something.

Not very nice at all!

::sticks tongue out::

Great fic though. Truthfully, I love fics that mess with the reader's mind. Have you ever read a book called The Night Listener by Armistead Maupin? If you haven't, I definetly reccomend it.

Oh, that was tricky and evil of you. I liked it though.

[starmack.livejournal.com]

Ha! I thought they had broken up and Greg was in his new place or something. I was all ready for a angsty ending! Nice little twist there, I liked it! :D

Ah! You horrible, horrible tease! Tsk tsk! (Translation: I love it! Bravo!)

[0creativity.livejournal.com]

You suck, but in the best way possible. I loved it.

[csi-freak15.livejournal.com]

That. Was. Not. Funny. Jeff.

ctx :D

P.S. Great story though.

Yes it had the effect you planned on. That is if you planned on stopping my heart, making me cry and get all upset, lunge for a new box of tissues… hey, wait, Nick's not dead. Complete cardio workout as heart stops racing. You are evil, eeeevil. And very, very good. >;-p

Yeah, this worked. I liked where you went with it.
