nickngreg | Innocence Challenge

Hey All,

I saw the innocence challenge here a few days ago and decide to take a crack at it. I hope you all enjoy it.

Title: Completely Innocent
Pairing: Nick/Greg (but of course)
Rating: G/PG - Nothing too serious
Summary: Greg helps Nick the best way he knows how.
A/N: I wrote this on whim and in like 20 minutes. If it's not up to standards then I apologize ahed of time.

“Hey Nick.” Nick hears a familiar voice call out, footsteps getting nearer.

“What‘s up Greg?” Nick asks in a tired voice.

“You busy?” Greg asks.

“Not really.” Nick says wondering what the point of this conversation was.

“C‘mon then, I wanna show you something.” Greg says pulling Nick along with him towards the parking lot.

“Greg, what? C‘mon, I just, what are we doing? Where are you taking me?” Nick asks, half heartedly trying to pull away from Greg.

“Just indulge me, please.” Greg says with a pleading look. All Nick can do is sigh and follow the young CSI out into the parking lot and to his car.

“So, where are you taking me?” Nick asks after a few minutes of silent driving. He watches as the scenery changes and waits for Greg to answer.

“It‘s a surprise.” Nick looks over at Greg and Greg smiles in return. “Don‘t look at me like that. It‘s cool. Don‘t worry, it‘s perfectly safe.” Greg assures him. Nick just sighs and returns his stare out the window.

“This is where you wanted to take me?” Nick asks looking over at the grassy field surrounded by trees.

“Yes, now just lay down.” Greg instructs as he lays a blanket on the floor.

Nick watches as Greg stretches out on the ground and looks up at the sky without another word. Nick sighs and lays down beside his colleague, shaking his head before looking up at the sky. His breath catches at the sight. “I‘ve never seen them so bright.” Nick states as he looks up at the stars, each one shinning brightly.

“I come here to relax. It‘s peaceful and quiet, a good place to think and just be.” Greg states. Nick nods in response, listening to sounds of the wind passing through the trees. He closes his eyes letting the peacefulness of it all flow through his body, and releasing his tension. “I thought you could use somewhere to think. I know you had a tough case today.” Greg says turning to look at Nick.

“Thank you.” Nick whispers turning his head to look at Greg.

“Your welcome.” Greg whispers back, his eyes not moving from Nick’s. Nick smiles before moving his hand down to find Greg’s. Nick entwines their hands and smile softly at Greg before turning his head back to the sky. Greg returns the smile and moves his head back to the sky as well. The two lay there in comfortable silence, reveling in each others company.
