This songfic...I've been toying with this idea for like a year. I finally got around to writing it. I LOVE ALANIS MORISSETTE!!! This is based off of one of my favorite songs by her, Head Over Feet.

Title: I Am Aware Now
Rating: PG-13
Summary: You've already won me over, in spite of me. (NickGreg)
A/N: Lyrics belong to Alanis Morissette, not me! I really love this song.

I Am Aware Now 1/1

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I’m a princess
I’m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was


I never thought I could seriously like a guy. Especially a guy like Greg. But whatever, because it happened.

He’d flirt with me in the lab and I’d flirt right back. Random acts of kindness that concerned me became commonplace. It was harmless fun, right? That’s what I thought. That is, that’s what I thought until it didn’t stop. We went out to dinner, breakfast, whatever you want to call it after shift one morning. Shared some beers and some good pancakes. That’s when Greg laid it all out on the table.

He told me he was into guys, told me he had feelings for me and wanted to know how I truly felt about him. Honestly, I didn’t know. What I did know was that we ended up at his house, naked and hard and horny. And I loved it.

You’ve already won me over
In spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault


It didn’t stop after that one night. I came back, hungering, thirsting for more. More of him, more of his body. All the flirting I had done turned out to be real. It wasn’t just friendly banter. Well, it looked that way to everyone else. But that’s what we wanted.

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for
That’s not lip service

You’ve already won me over
In spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault


Greg would make sure I knew that he truly loved me. All the time. He’d slip notes in my locker like a lovesick teenager, he’d whisper it while we were lying in bed after a hot smutty night.

I never said the words back. I really didn’t know! I loved the way he felt around and under me, but was I ready to get into a real relationship with him? We fucked all the time, and that’s all I wanted for now. If I was horny, I’d call him up and he’d be more than willing. And it worked the other way around. I knew he wanted all of me, not just my sex, but I didn’t want him the same way. Not yet.

You are the bearer of uncoditional things
You heald your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met
You’re my best friend, best friend with benefits
What took me so long?


It hit me like a freight train.

I was right in the middle of a case, working a homicide with Cath and Warrick when it just hit me. I wanted him too.

I’ve never felt this healthy before
I’ve never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now


Cath and Warrick noticed the sudden change. I stood up quickly, a piece of bright orange fabric between tweezers, grinning like an idiot.

“What’s up with you?” Warrick asked with a raised eyebrow.

Realizing where I was, I wiped the far-too-happy expression off my face and shrugged it off. My two colleagues shared a confused expression. I ignored them, dropping the cloth into an evidence bag.

I practically sprinted into the lab. I had to find Greg, had to talk to him, had to see him dammit. I found him in the trace lab, hunched over a microscope.

Not caring who saw me, I put a hand on Greg’s shoulder and leaned close. Leaned close so my lips were almost on his. “My place after shift. We gotta talk.”

Greg turned to me with what was, at first, a worried expression, but when he saw the ecstatic grin plastered on my face he found one to match.

You’ve already won me over
In spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault


That night, with a home-cooked Texas meal, I told him. I explained that when we fucked, it was beyond fucking. It was making love. I I leaned across the table and kissed him hard. Told him I loved him.

Later, we made love slowly and sensually. It was the best sex I ever had.

You’ve already won me over
In spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault


Head over feet was the only explanation. I was completely smitten for Greg. His spiky hair, his perverse sense of humor, his openness - I cherished everything about him. And I know he felt the exact same way about me.

I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault...


One night, we stood atop a ridge overlooking the bright Vegas lights twinkling like jewels. I slid my arms around his waist and pulled him close. “This is all your fault, Greg.”

“What is?” he asked, turning to look at me with a confused expression.

“Love,” I replied simply. That said it all.

A/N: I really liked the way this turned out! Just ignore the word "princess" in the lyrics :p I really like writing songfics...and this is my first person fic, so tell me how it went! :D

Nah, Nick can be a princess. *bursts into incessant giggling at the thought of Nick in a tiara*

I really like this. Good job!

*sigh* I love you for this! I just spent a good chunk of a 15 hours car ride with that song on repeat and well, yay! It was too good, and sweet and wonderful!

I've already commented on this elsewhere, but it's so dang good, I'll comment again. Jeff, you rock my socks! I'm usually not one for songfics, but I think you've changed my mind!

It was wonderful as always Jeff, I can't believe how much better of a writer you have become over the past several months. Your fics truly just get better and better, and I swear I'm not sucking up for more "Senior Year" but really liked this, honesty from Nick, admiting it was just to fuck, I liked that he was at least honest about it at first, but realized it was more.

Thank you for a happy one! Love it. I also didn't start out much for song fics but this one is really well done, matches the narrative beautifully. And I think Nick would be lovely in a tiara!

I like it! Three of my loves in one place--Alanis, Nick, and Greg!

Hehe, now I have that song in my head, along with fluffy Nick/Greg images. It's so very cute; thank you!

We have SUCH similar taste in music. I love Alanis Morrissette. The CD Jagged Little Pill is still my favorite CD EVER. It was the first CD I ever bought with my own money (I was in... either fourth or fifth grade), so Alanis holds a special place in my CD collection :-)

Oh! And the fic was, of course, adorable. The fluffyness is making my face hurt, from all the smiling. So cute.

EXCELLENT...

Do I really have to ignore the word princess? Because I'd rather not. :D

I enjoyed this immensely. Nick being with Greg all that time and then it just hitting him suddenly that, yes, he was in fact in love. Stupendous.
