Series: sequel to One Brief Moment (Scream)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mikhale
Disclaimer: Not mine. Goddamit.
Notes: So, this is the fluffier and shorter sequel to One Brief Moment (Scream). Written under an hour so don't expect much.
Dedication: This is dedicated to my darling, Julia, who showed me that amidst an ocean of indifference, a single drop of concern is more precious than the wealth of the world. Thank you very much, darling.

Tomorrow, Here, Today

I've always liked you when you're moving.

I start the car and you open the radio and it blasts out some rock band. You're already bobbing your head.

You're always moving. You're like the sun, constantly burning energy. They say that the sun will eventually burn out. But I don't think you will. You're this bundle of motion that refuses to be tied down. Sometimes, when you kiss me, it's a little sloppy because you're very eager and excited. And I just can't seem to hold you down.

But I don't mind. Like I said, I've always liked you when you're moving.

And when you stop? God, Greg. Do you know that when you stop moving, you're so beautiful? Do you know that when your head isn't bobbing to some rock song that you're singing, I can look into your eyes and they're very warm. Sometimes, when I feel the ant bites, I think of the time when I first saw you. You were wearing this soft brown shirt which said "Hug Me". It had a little hole on the right shoulder. Whenever I remember that, the bites fade a little. And I'm alright.

When you stop moving, Greg, it's like the world stops to look at you.

You always stop for me. I love it when you do that.

Sometimes, I forget that you're also human.

When you smile, it's like that ray of sunshine that songs sing about. When you touch me, I can hear the "I love you" that your fingers whisper.

When my hands hold your waist, I wonder if you can hear them saying "I love your perfections" and when my fingers trace your scars, I wonder if you can hear me saying "I love your flaws".

We're both scarred now.

When I woke up in the hospital, you were there, standing in the corner. All I wanted was for you to come closer but I didn't want you to. Because all I could remember was that I didn't visit you when you were in the hospital after the explosion.

My father always said that I should be brave and be strong whenever we are tested. But everytime I thought of going to the hospital, I just couldn't. I can't look at you when you're broken. I'm so sorry, Greg.

I just... couldn't.

Even before you kissed me, I already wanted to kiss you. It was after the explosion. When I saw you on the floor, eyes slowly closing, I thought you were dying. And I felt like I was dying with you. I knew that you were the one, Greg.

You were the one.

And now, you're here.

And because of you, I'm alright.

I'm alright.

I make a left, letting an old lady in a Volkswagen pass first. And you're saying something. You're really excited about it but I'm not hearing you. I'm not hearing any words that you say because I'm looking at your lips. They way they move. Do you know how sensual your lips are, Greg? They look so soft and inviting. I just nod at, hopefully, the right places of your spiel.

I can't resist anymore and I kiss you, taking my eyes off the road, something which I would never, ever do but goddamit, Greg, I can't get enough of your lips.

I can't get enough of you.

Your eyes are wide with shock and then you smirk and then you say "watch the road, Nicky".

I love it when you play coy.

We're almost home now. I know you're tired and I can see your eyes drooping a little. I know that when you go inside the house, you're going to take off your shirt and pants and just plop down on our bed before going to sleep. And I'll smile and join you on the bed. I'll put my hand on the small of your back and feel the warmth which you constantly emanate. As long as you're beside me, Greg, I'm not afraid of going to sleep.

You yawn and dammit, yawns are contagious. You're winding down.

And for one brief moment, you stop.

I fall in love again.

I park the car. We're here. You look at me and give me that sleepy smile of yours before you get out. I follow you as you trudge wearily to the bedroom. You take off your shirt and you shuck off your pants, leaving them on the floor. Your shoes didn't even make it into bedroom. You took them off in the living room. You're a slob Greg.

But it's okay.

I'll pick them up later.

You're lying facedown on our bed and I can't resist anymore. I want to feel you sleep. I join you on the bed and my hands go to your lower back. I can feel your scars. Sometimes, I believe that if I touch them long enough, they'll disappear and you'll be perfect again. I want to take your scars, Greg. I want to take that cicatrix of pain and make you whole again. But I don't think you'd let me. And I don't want them to disappear.

The scars are my only proof that you are human.

Tomorrow, I'll wake up and you'll be hogging the sheets.

Tomorrow, you'll complain about not being able to find your shoes. I'll pick them up from the living room and give them to you.

Tomorrow, you'll eat Fruit Loops and watch Saturday morning cartoons.

Tomorrow, you'll read your science journals and you'll force me to wear my glasses because you find me hot when I do.

Tomorrow, you'll drag me to get ice cream because it's too hot.

Tomorrow, I'll lick strawberry ice cream from your fingers because you're a messy eater, Greg.

Tomorrow, I'll put you on the couch and lick your neck and your nipples until I hear that whine that you do when you're really turned on and want to get fucked.

Tomorrow, I'll fuck you hard because I want to hear that breathy moan that you do when you're coming.

But that's tomorrow.

Today, I am not afraid to go to sleep. Today, glass coffins are banished. Today, scars are shared.

I am here with you, Greg.

I am here with you.

There are so many sweet images in this story! My fav for some reason is this:

Sometimes, when you kiss me, it's a little sloppy because you're very eager and excited. And I just can't seem to hold you down.

Enjoyed the story lots!

Heh, it are Nick and Greg. :3 I know Nick looks a bit weird, but he wouldn't really listen to me when I tried to draw him. (Hold Me). Glad you like it. :P

Well, that's the first CSI slash I've ever read (although I have long adored the show) hell, it's the first slash I've read in about 6 months, and I'm glad it was by you because I'd forgotten what a fine writer you are and how well you get down character voices.

Sad lack of internet time. Either the slash had to go, or my friends did and obviously friends win out, no matter how shiny the pr0n is... ;op

well... damn! Your new pairing, darling. And where is that porn?

//eyes in-box... oh! now kuriadalmatian at gmail dot com because Yahoo! was being too much a bitch//

There are lots of exceptional things about this fic. There are so many elements to it, especially the affectionate yet adult tone that takes this a step above.

Oh, so it's "fluffier" than than the previous installment, but you connect both effortlessly.

Cheers!
