Summary: An old house, in the dark, and Greg gets scared.
Disclaimer: i own nobody but me myself and i. lol. CSI belongs to CBS and its creators :]

Get a grip, Sanders! Greg gulped as he surveyed the crime scene once more. A dead body found in an old, victorian style house had all the CSI's on shift creeped out. But no, Greg had to be the one to actually take the inside where it was creepy as hell and probably even haunted. Just take a few more photos and leave! He swallowed, hard, again and looked over his shoulder at the hallway he had entered through. The only way to get into the room where the body was. He shivered as a gust of the crisp fall air blew through the broken window. He'd just finish up and get out, easy as pie.

His cell phone rang and he nearly had a heart attack. After supressing the urge to scream like a girl he flipped the phone open and answered. "Sanders." he said as calmly as possible. A soft chuckle from the other end made him let out a fast breath.

"How's it goin' in there, G?" Nick asked. Nick got to do the perimeter so Greg couldn't have a big strong protecter. Psh. Greg stood upright and looked around.

"Well, considering this place is probably haunted, and it's really old, and I'm stuck in here with a dead body and the only way out to you is a long creepy hallway, I'm doing pretty damn well." Greg huffed. "Oh, and it's dark outside so I can't see in here except with a stupid mini flashlight."

Nick laughed into the phone and Greg huffed again. "G, you'll be out of there before you know it. Now, I have to go finish up out here. I was just calling to check on you. Since you seem to be doing just fine I'll go." With that, Nick hung up, leaving Greg in silence once more.

Greg sighed and started packing up his kit. He hurried through it, trying to surpass the feeling that something was lurking in the shadows of the room. You're an idiot. Suck it up and get out of here. He placed the last bit of equipment back in his kit and stood up, looking around again before heading to the hallway. He stopped and stared. It seemed like the dark hallway went on forever. As he stood there, he was reminded of the time when he was nine and Papa Olaf told him a Norwegian ghost story. It had scared him so bad he wouldn't even walk down the hallway without a hand to hold; he even slept with all the lights on.

Finally, he got a grip and took a step into the darkness. It was even darker in the hall than it was in the room. He made sure he stared straight ahead and not around him as he took a few more quick steps, his breathing growing shallower. A thump from behind made him spin around and freeze. "Who's there?" For a fleeting second he thought maybe the murderer had come back. But he laughed that off since there was no way for anybody to exit and enter except the hallway. He breathed out heavily and turned back around. His steps were much quicker and this time he swore he heard moaning coming from in the walls. He sped up, almost to a jog. The moaning grew louder and footsteps and pounding were added to the mix.

"It's just the dark. You're not scared of the dark. Nick's waiting for you outside. Walk faster, nothing's here." he whispered to himself as he found himself jogging down the hall now. Finally, finally, he saw the foyer and the front door wide open, letting in light from the street. But a huge black outline blocked the light and Greg halted on the spot. The shadow began walking towards him and he swallowed hard. "It's not real. It's not real." He screamed when the shadow started running. Dropping his kit and covering his eyes, he froze in fear. He could feel the prescense of someone else right in front him after the heavy steps stopped. "Just kill me now." he whimpered.

Suddenly, laughing erupted in front of him and outside the door. Greg peeked through his fingers and saw Nick doubled over in front of him, laughing so hard he was gasping. The officers and the rest of the CSI's were standing outside dying from the laughter bubbling out of them. Greg glared. He looked down at his secret lover and whacked him, good and hard, across the back of the head. It only made Nick laugh harder, so hard he was on his knees. "That..was priceless." he gasped out. Greg huffed and stomped past Nick and outside into the well lit front yard. He glared at the others and they stopped, watching him as he passed and got into his car. He slammed the door shut and sped off.

Later, after Nick returned home, Greg stomped into the bedroom and locked the door. Nick knocked on it every couple of minutes, trying to get Greg to open it; he wouldn't budge. "Come on, G. It was just a little joke." Nick pleaded, wiggling the door knob now.

"It was a mean joke!" Nick could just imagine the pout on Greg's face.

"Let me in."

After a few seconds of thinking about it, Greg opened the door a crack and peered out. Nick saw the red puffy eye and instantly felt bad. "Come in if you must." He thrust the door open and promptly went to throw himself stomach first on the bed. Nick kicked his shoes off and changed into some pajamas, giving Greg a few more minutes to pout and feel bad. After, Nick crawled on the bed and sat in the middle of it. He grabbed Greg's arms and hauled him up until he sat indian style next to him. Greg wouldn't look at Nick, instead he stared at the bed sheets, pouting.

"I'm really sorry, Greg. We were just playing a joke on you. Thought it would be funny while you were in the dark." Nick grabbed Greg's chin and turned his head. Greg closed his eyes and the pout became more pronounced.

"You better be sorry." Greg mumbled.

"Did we really scare you?" Nick asked, incredulous. He didn't think they had scared Greg that bad.

Greg didn't answer. He opened his eyes and they were teary for the second time since he'd gotten home. Nick's shoulders sagged with the guilt and he pressed a kiss to Greg's lips. Greg still didn't budge. "Come on, G. Talk to me. Please?"

"You really scared me. And YOU of all people. You know I don't like being caught in dark houses at night by myself. Remember the story that Papa Olaf told me when I was nine and I was so scared that I couldn't get past the hallway? Yeah, tonight kinda brought that back. You guys didn't have to be such assholes."

"Aww, Greggo. I'm sorry. We didn't mean to, honest." Nick rubbed his thumb across Greg's cheek and Greg visibly relaxed into the touch. "Forgive me? Please?" This time, a kiss was placed on Greg's chin, then one on his jawline to his ear. Greg huffed, but Nick felt the tension and fear ebb slightly. Nick smiled against the skin below Greg's ear and kissed the spot.

"Fine!" Greg huffed again and suddenly had Nick down on his back. Nick laughed, the laugh covered by Greg's mouth. Greg pulled away almost as fast as he latched on and then threw himself onto his back and yanked the covers over his body, up to his chin. Nick flipped over onto his stomach and wrapped a protective arm around Greg's middle, then pulled the younger man closer. He absently traced patterns on Greg's side until he heard his lover's breathing even out. He glanced up and saw Greg sleeping. He sighed, pressed one more kiss to the smooth cheek and curled up under the covers to sleep himself.

I really liked this one. I can totally see the boys constantly pranking each other, if only to make up for it in the bedroom. Nice job!
