Gil sat behind his desk with mountains of paperwork that needed to be done before he left the office that day. Sometimes he wondered if he had a moment of insanity when he said he'd take the job as supervisor. There was an endless amount of paperwork and always someone nagging at him for something else. He sighed and rubbed his tired eyes.

Warrick stood in the doorway and watched his lover focus intently on the paperwork that was on his desk. He could see the bags under his eyes. He knew for a fact that Gil hadn't slept in at least 48 hours. ‘Something has to be done about this!' He pulled out his cell phone and moved away from the door. It rang for a minute but then there was someone on the other end.

"Hello?"

"Hey Cath its me Warrick. I was wondering if you could do me and Gil a huge favor." Warrick held his breath and waited for Catherine to answer him. Catherine smiled, "Sure Warrick. What do you need from me?"

Warrick sighed in relief, "Well Gil has been up for at least 48 hours doing all this paperwork. He hasn't slept and I was hoping you could come in and maybe do some of it so I can take him home and at least feed him."

Catherine sighed. She hated that Gil over did it all the time with paperwork. She couldn't do anything but agree. "Alright Rick. I'll be there in 15 minutes."

***** 15 minutes later******

Warrick stood outside waiting on Catherine to show up. He walked up to the familiar looking SUV. He helped Catherine out of the car. "Thanks for this Cath. I don't know how much more he can take."

Catherine shook her head, "Don't worry about it. I know how Gil gets when he's feeling stressed." She walked into the building followed by Warrick. "So where is he?"

Warrick pointed down the hall toward the office, "He's in his office." He followed Catherine as she walked with purpose to Gil's office. ‘I'm very glad I'm not him!'

Catherine pushed open the door and walked in. She motioned Warrick in behind her and shut the door. "Gil this has to stop. I'm doing the rest of your paperwork. Lord knows I've done it before. Go home and be with your man. Get some rest Gil. You look like hell." Gil looked up blinkingly, "I can't. I have to do this."

Catherine shook her head, "No I'm taking over for the night. Go home!" Warrick walked over and pulled Gil up from the chair. He wrapped his long arms around Gil's waist. "You can't keep going like this baby. You need food and rest."

Gil sighed and leaned to Warrick, "Alright I'll go home." He turned to Catherine and smiled a very very tired smile, "Thank you Catherine." Catherine laughed, "Yea Yea. Don't mention it. Now go." She looked at the mountains of unorganized and messy desk. "Man you so owe me for this." She sighed and sat down to get started.

********Gil and Warrick's condo*******

Warrick helped a very unsteady Gil Grissom into the house. "Baby we need to start taking better care of you." Gil sighed, "I know but I'm so swamped with all my work. I can't keep up." Warrick vowed he was going to talk with Ecklie about getting Gil an assistant. "Let's get you in the house and get some food into you. Maybe get you into the shower."

Gil groaned at the thought of a nice hot shower. "How about we get a shower together then get some dinner."

Warrick nodded, "That works for me." He walked with Gil down the hall and into the bathroom. "I'll start the shower. You get under dressed okay?"

Gil nodded and pulled off the clothes that he'd had on for 2 days. He could wait to get into the shower and just wash it all away.

Warrick helped Gil into the shower and then got in right behind. "You just stand still. I'll wash you." He put the sponge and the body wash down off the shelf. He got the sponge all soapy and slowly started washing the grim and the tension away.

Gil melted into Warrick. He had needed this since that morning. "I don't think I can could get through this with out you Ricky."

Warrick smiled, "I'll be here for you." He finished washing Gil's body and pulled him into his arms. He held him tightly under the warm shower spray. Gil was in no hurry to leave the warm cocoon that they had created in the shower stall.

&^&^^&^&^&^&^&^&^

Gil followed Warrick into the kitchen. He was much more relaxed then he had been when they had gone home. The shower had really helped with his mood and the tension.

Warrick wandered over to the stove and the refrigerator. "Anything you like to have for dinner baby?"

Gil shook his head, "Doesn't matter. Dealers choice."

Warrick laughed at that, "Okay. I think I do that."

After searching the refrigerator Warrick decided on omelets with some turkey bacon. It was quick and easy. He started whipping the eggs when he heard soft footsteps go down the hall to their bedroom. He quickly got the omelets and bacon made so it was already when Gil came to the kitchen.

&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^

Gil walked down the hall to the bedroom. He pulled on his soft pajamas and slipped on his slippers. The smell of food coming from the kitchen made his mouth water and his stomach growl. Quickly he walked back down the hallway and into the kitchen. There was a plate sitting in his place with a lot of food on it. "Is this all mine?"

Warrick laughed, "Of course. Now eat up so we can get you into bed."

Gil sat down in his chair and started eating the food quickly. It was the first thing he had eaten in awhile that wasn't snack food from the machine. "This is really good Ricky." Warrick smiled, "Thanks baby."

Gil finished his food and yawned, "I'm sorry Ricky."

Warrick took the plates from the table and put them in the sink. He'd do them later after he got Gil settled down and sleeping. "For what baby?"

Gil sighed, "For working so much and for not being around."

Warrick waved Gil's apology off, "Don't worry about that baby. I know you have to work hard. The only thing that worries me is when you don't care of yourself." He walked over and pulled Gil up out of his chair. "Now come on let's get you into bed."

Gil walked with Warrick down the hall and back into the bedroom. He pulled his pajamas off and laid on the bed. He hadn't slept naked before Warrick had come along. Now it seem pajamas were just in the way.

Warrick helped Gil under the blankets and smiled at the way Gil just seemed to sink into the bed. "Good night Gil." Gil smiled and patted the bedside him. "Sleep with me."

Warrick nodded and pulled off his clothes. He climbed in beside Gil and wrapped his arms around him. "I'll always be here to help you through it all Gil."

Gil sighed and snuggled into Warrick and fell into a fit sleep. Warrick laid awake for a while thinking about Gil and their life together. It was tough keeping it quiet but all the headaches were worth what they had.

The End.
