It had started with breakfast after shift. Casual, sometimes with others, sometimes not, but always with an undercurrent of tension. Chemistry and coffee. Then it was videogames on weekends and days off, the tension growing as they spent more time together. Still tentative, beer and pizza, just friends. Casuality and consoles. Then came nights out when they weren't working, neither one voicing thoughts about where this might lead. Just drinking, knocking back shots, dancing, laughing. Clubbing and closeness. Then one night, a drunken kiss. Clumsy and crude. But in that kiss Greg saw houses, dogs, fences, forever. Cuddles and completeness.
