Greg bursting with excitement, approached Nick’s apartment. After gaining entry with his key, he ever so quietly closed the door. He spun around with a shit eating grin on is face. He had a devious, joker like look on his face.

“Nicky!!! Nicky, where are you?” Greg shouted skipping to the bedroom pushing the door open. “Aha!!! Found you” he exclaimed bursting into the door way. “Nicky wake up” he said enthusiastically pouncing on the bed jarring Nick into semi consciousness.

“Where is my gun?” Nick groaned covering his head

“Ha ha, you can’t shoot me” Greg said still bouncing, wearing his big smile.

“Greg, you are mistaken, I have been trained in shooting moving targets.” Nick mumbled from under the pillow.

“Yea well you have to catch me first”

“No, there is where you are wrong” Nick said rolling over and pulling a still bouncing Greg onto him. “You have to be able to out run a bullet” He added kissing Greg’s cheek.

“Okay…..You are scaring me”

“Why on earth are you waking me up? Did it slip your mind that I worked all night?” Nick said snuggling back into the warmth of his bed.

“No I am just excited, don’t you even want to know why?”

“Do I have a choice?”

“Nick it’s our 1 year anniversary”

Nick’s heart sank. “Oh god Greg I am so sorry” Nick said rolling back over to face Greg..

“You forgot?” Greg said disappointed.

“Not intentionally”

“Well I see just how important I am to you” He said standing up and walking back toward the door.

“Greg, come on don’t be like that. You know I wouldn’t forget it’s just…”

“Just what Nick? Work? It’s always work. Work was why you forgot my birthday, work was why you forgot my anniversary party at the lab, and work is why you have been so distant lately it’s like we are living separate lives. Hell Nick we don‘t even live together. When was the last time we made love?”

“Greg, you know how stressful this job is”

“Yea I do and guess what Nick I do it too. I am stressed, plagued with nightmares and working myself to near exhaustion. But who was it Nick that made you a birthday cake and brought it to you? Who had balloons delivered to the lab? Who was the first person to say Happy birthday to you?”

“You”

“Yes me, because regardless to everything shitty with the job or life, I never forget you. Nick, you are the only joy I have in my life. You are the reason I get up in the morning. You are the only reason I smile anymore. I wish you felt the same.”

“Greg I do. I am just strung out, I have Conrad riding my ass, and not in a way I would normally enjoy a guy riding my ass. I have been pulling doubles for the last month. Jesus Greg, I am sorry. Our anniversary wasn’t foremost on my mind.”

“Nick I should always be foremost on your mind. I am your boyfriend, the man you are supposed to love”

“I do love you, you know I do.”

“Lately, No Nick, I don’t” Greg said storming out of the bedroom.

Nick just sat in silence beating himself up. He’d not forgot what today was on purpose, but Greg wasn’t seeing it that way. He knew above all he’d have to find a way to make it up to him. Not a small task. He’d hurt Greg.

That evening Nick arrived at work, half expecting to be greeted by stares and looks of disgust. But instead everyone acted as though nothing was wrong. He gathered his supplies and headed for the lounge for assignments. Greg was sitting at the table laughing at some article he and Sara was reading. It was good to see him smiling.

“Oh hey Nick glad you could make it” Sara said looking up at him.

“Yea it’s nice to know you remembered what time your shift starts” Greg added sarcastically.

“Greg, I am sorry. Can we not discuss this here?”

“Why not? It’s the only place we see each other”

“What? Huh? Did I miss something?” Sara asked bouncing glances from one man to the other.

Greg picked the magazine up and covered his face “He forgot our anniversary” he grumbled from behind the book.

“Oh No, Nick what happened? You were just telling me a few days ago you had to make sure you did something for Greg today?” Sara said winking at Nick.

“Ahh yeah I did,” Nick responded in a confused tone. “It just slipped my mind, pulling doubles for the last week. I lost track of days”

“Wait?” Greg said dropping the book. “He told you that?”

“Yeah, last week, Tuesday I think. We were processing scene, and I had mentioned that the couple who we were investigating had just celebrated their anniversary.” Sara responded standing up.

Greg just looked at Nick. Nick didn’t make eye contact. Greg was sure that this had not happened. Without speaking another word he retreated back to the lab.

Nick plopped down on the couch and rubbed his face. “God what am I going to do?”

“I tried Nicky. He will come around. He is in love with you.”

“I hope so cause I hate that I did this. How could I be so stupid?”

“Easy my friend, it is in your DNA” Warrick said entering the room and playfully tossing a Nerf ball at Nick.

“Not now Rick”

“Trouble in paradise?”

“Yeah to say the least. Greg’s upset with me”

“More like pissed off at” Sara added with a shrug.

“Sooooo Mr. Cool is in the dog house. Let me guess you forgot your anniversary?”

“What, am I the last person to know anything around here?”

“Hey, don’t bark at us. It’s all Greg has talked about for the last week around here”

“Thanks Warrick, I feel better now” Nick said sarcastically tossing the ball back at him.

“Look try to do something romantic. Over the top you know? Something he’d never expect, nor would he ever forget.”

“Ohh good call Warrick. Yea like take him out boating or something. You know Greg loves the water.” Sarah offered agreeing with Warrick.

“Yea that’s not half bad.” Nick said thinking to himself.

Work went relatively fast. Nick expected Grissom to ask him to pull another double, so the message to meet him in his office wasn’t a huge shock. Nick finished what he was doing and joined Gil in his office.

“You wanted to see me?”

“Nick, come in sit down” Grissom said removing his glasses. “A month or so ago, Greg had put in for vacation time. He also included your request.”

“Yes I remember that” Nick stated, though in the back of his mind couldn’t remember any such thing.

“Well it’s been approved, it’s going to start this Friday and extend a week. You do realize this is the only time you have for the remainder of the year.”

“Yes sir, well aware. Is that all?”

“Yes that’s all.”

Nick left the office relieved. He’d have a week off with Greg in a few short days. His mind now focusing on how he could make the 7 days as memorable and wonderful as he could.

Friday had arrived. Thankfully Nick didn’t work a double the night before, he was well rested. All bright eyed and full of energy he planned an early morning surprise for Greg. After making a quick stop to get some of Greg’s favorite coffee and chocolate chip muffins, he continued to Greg‘s apartment. Locating his key that had been given to him early in their relationship, he quietly let himself in. He crept ever so quietly through the kitchen to the bedroom. Carefully opening the door so not to disturb Greg. He placed the goodies on the bed stand and sat gently on the edge of the bed. Watching as Greg slept , he couldn’t help but smile. He loved him so much. He tenderly started to kiss along Greg’s jaw causing him to stir.

“Greggo” Nick whispered in his ear. “Sweetie wake up”

“Nick? Where is your gun?” Greg groaned as he was coming out of his sleepy state.

“At home”

“Damn”

“Come on you can’t use my line”

“Yes I can. I’m like a sponge, I absorb stuff”

“Well the squishy part anyway” Nick said pinching Greg’s mid drift

“Asshole!” Greg shrieked clobbering Nick with a pillow.

“Hey assault!”

“You are gonna think assault”

“Promise?” Nick asked pulling Greg up to him.

“Yes.” Greg responded wrapping his arms around Nick. “So what do I owe the pleasure of your company at this hour of the morning?”

“I brought you coffee and muffins”

“Chocolate chip?” Greg asked beaming.

“Of course” Nick said handing a muffin to Greg.

Greg broke open his muffin and started eating it. He’d finally sat up against the headboard and savored his gourmet coffee.

“So, First day of our vacation”

“Oh, Yeah, I didn’t tell you I had some time, so did you I thought that well maybe we could…”

“It’s okay G, I am happy”

“Phew, I didn’t tell you it was supposed to be a surprise”

“And it was. I was floored when Grissom told me. I really needed this break.”

“I know sweetheart. Oh and for the record, you are as terrible of a liar as Sarah”

“What?”

“I know you never mentioned the anniversary to her. But the gesture was nice.” Greg said crawling out of bed.

“Where are you going?”

“To the bathroom, can’t a guy piss?”

“Yeah, sorry my bad.” Nick said sipping his coffee. “Hey shake it more then twice you are playing with it” He shouted at the bathroom door.

“Then you’d better get in here and help me” Greg shouted back with a laugh.
