***

Nick looked at Greg incredulously.

"You've never seen fireworks." Nick asked, as Greg nodded.

"Nope." Greg said, as Warrick shook his head.

"Why haven't you?" Warrick asked, as Sara just looked shocked.

"I don't know. I was always busy." Greg said, shrugging.

"You're coming with us to the firework show in the park." Sara said, as Greg laughed.

"What time is it going to be at?" Greg asked, as Nick put his arm around Greg's shoulder.

"I'll make sure you get there." Nick said, as Greg blushed crimson.

"Okay." Greg said, as Sara grinned at Greg.

"Now that that's settled, we might need to get back to work." Sara said, as Nick let go of Greg.

Nick and Warrick left the break room, leaving Greg and Sara in there by themselves.

"Greg, that was priceless." Sara said, as Greg glared.

"Oh shut up. Should I tell Grissom that you have a picture of him naked." Greg said, as Sara glared back.

"I do not. Liar." Sara said, as Greg put his head down.

"Ugh, why do I have to fall for the uber straight Texan jock. It's like I asked myself to get turned down Sara." Greg said, as Sara laughed.

"You never know, the uber straight Texan jock might just swing your way." Sara said, as Greg glared.

"Yeah and pig's will fly." Greg said, as Sara gasped.

"Oh my god! There's one right there." Sara said, pointing behind Greg.

"Yeah right."

"NO! Look." Greg said, as he turned in his seat.

Grissom was holding his pig fetus in the air.

"What in the hell is he doing?" Greg asked.

"He's Grissom, does he need a reason for being weird." Sara asked.

"No, you're right." Greg said, as he turned back around.

"Greg, you never know though. Nick might like you back." Sara said, as Greg just gave her a look.

"Yeah and maybe Grissom and Warrick were in an orgy last night." Greg said excitedly, as Sara made a sour face.

"I do NOT want to think about that." Sara said, as Greg laughed.

"Look Sara, I accepted that I could look and not touch Nick. I've come to terms with that." Greg said, as Sara sighed.

"If you don't tell him, then I will. And the way I'll tell him will embarrass the hell out of you."

"No you won't. You promised not to tell!" Greg said, as Sara left the break room.

Greg chased after her, as she started running.

She stopped at the locker room.

"Hey Nick, I have to tell you that Greg—AHH!" Sara screamed as Greg tackled her.

"NO!" Greg said, covering her mouth.

Warrick looked at Nick, who shrugged.

Greg smiled at them sheepishly, before pulling a laughing Sara away.

"What was that about?" Warrick asked.

"I have no clue. Something about Greg." Nick said, smiling faintly.

"That's it. You are TALKING to him tonight at the show." Warrick said, as Nick shook his head.

"It's not that easy." Nick said, pulling out his jacket.

"It could be if you stopped playing this game of who can not tell the other the longest game. It get's really annoying, even Grissom has noticed." Warrick said, as Nick sat down.

"You don't understand! It was easy for you to tell Catherine you liked her. HELLO! You two were flirting forever before Greg and I decided to do those stupid secret admire messages with the hints." Nick said, as Greg and Sara walked back in.

"Sara, you okay?" Warrick asked.

"I'm fine. Just a little sore, it's not every day someone TACKLES me to the ground." Sara said, glaring at Greg.

"You shouldn't of tried to do what you were trying to do." Greg said, as he smirked at her.

"What were you trying to say?" Nick asked, as Sara opened her mouth.

"What I was trying to sa--" She was cut off, as Greg slapped a hand on her mouth.

"She wasn't trying to say anything." Greg said, blushing madly.

"Then why are you stopping her?" Nick asked, as Greg's blush increased.

"I-uh...I've got to do. What time are you picking me up?" Greg asked.

"Six." Nick said, as Greg nodded.

"Later." Greg said, nearly running out of the locker room.

Sara smiled at his back, then turned to Nick.

"Do you like Greg?" Sara asked, as Nick's eyes widened.

"What would make you think that?"

"I don't know, maybe the way you grin like an idiot when he's around." Sara said, as Nick glared.

"Yes, he does like Greg." Warrick said, as Nick's glare turned to Warrick.

"What the fuck was that for?" Nick asked.

"It's a simple question." Warrick said, as Sara ran out of the locker room.

"Yeah right. I'll see you at the show."

Nick walked into the parking lot, and saw Sara at Greg's window.

Greg looked at her surprised.

'Wonder what they're talking about.' Nick wondered, as he went to his Tahoe.

***************
Six O'clock.

Greg was looking at himself in the mirror. Maybe it was to much, maybe it was to little. He looked at Sara who was on the bed.

"You look fine." Sara said, as Greg shook his head.

"What if he doesn't like it...what if he does. SARA!" Greg whined, as Sara laughed.

"He'll like it. I mean it's like your normal outfits...before you became a CSI that is." Sara said, looking at Greg.

He was wearing worn(more so tore up) black Chuck Taylors, with ripped up jeans. His top was black bearing red letters that said, 'I know you love me, I can see it in your pants.' His hair was spiked up in all different directions, giving him the 'I just got out of bed' look. Sara personally liked it.

"He's not going to like it, oh GOD why did I let you guys talk me into this. I'm fine with not seeing fireworks, I haven't before. I could cancel still...I could say I'm sick...ate some bad sea food." Greg rambled, as Sara rolled her eyes.

"No you're not. You're coming, and I'm making you. That's why I'm here, to make sure you don't chicken out." Sara said, as Greg looked at her.

"Are you sure Warrick said he liked me..what if you misheard it..oh God....Sara I'm so nervous." Greg said, as Sara looked at him.

"You're going to be FINE, now chill out." Sara said, as Greg looked like he was about to cry.

Sara hugged him tightly.

"It's going to be okay. Worst case scenario is he just wants to be friends." Sara said, as Greg nodded.

A knock came from the door, as Greg just started freaking out.

"Oh God, oh God, oh God.." Sara smacked a hand on his face.

"Calm down. Take deep breaths, and let's go." Sara said, as she answered the door.

She saw Warrick and Nick standing there, smiling.

"Is Greg ready?" Nick asked, as Greg came up.

Nick mentally whistled at Greg's outfit. If he was mentally whistling, Greg was mentally drooling.

Nick was wearing tight blue denim pants, that left nothing to the imagination. A plain black top, that was tight and showed off his body. His shoes were tennis shoes, that looked new.

"Well let's go. Catherine is already there." Warrick said, breaking the staring contest.

Sara walked with Warrick to the car, walking ahead of the other two.

"Do you think it will work?" Sara asked, as Warrick looked at her.

"I hope so. If not, I'm locking them both in a closet until they both confess." Warrick said, as Sara laughed.

Greg closed his door, and locked it.

"You...uh...you er..You look nice." Nick said, as Greg face flushed.

"Erm..thanks." Greg said quietly, "You look nice too."

'Nice, hot, same thing. Pull yourself together Greg, you can do this.' Greg thought, as he got into the back with Sara.

The drive there was spent with Nick and Warrick talking about football, and Greg trying to get out of the car. Sara was holding him back, making sure Nick couldn't see them.

They reached the park in ten minutes, Sara letting go of Greg. He got out of the car, smiling at Nick.

Nick smiled back, before walking with Warrick to the hill.

Greg and Sara were fighting in the back, Sara telling him to get up there as Greg shook his head.

Sara gave him a look before pushing him forward into Nick, making them both fall down. Greg landed ontop of Nick, who just looked at Greg.

"Oh God...I'm sorry." Greg said embarrassed. He got off of Nick quickly, and helped him up.

Sara groaned with Warrick as they reached Catherine.

"No luck?" Catherine asked.

"None. They're so fucking scared they'll be rejected that it's interfering with what they want to say." Warrick said, as they watched the pair come up to them.

"Well the show is about to start in a second." Catherine said, as she sat next to Warrick, Sara sat on the other side. Nick and Greg sat behind them. Nick sat Indian style, Greg had his legs stretched out.

Sara and Warrick looked at their friends, their eyes moving to the other.

Greg just looked down, as Nick nodded at Warrick.

"Hey G, can I talk to you." Nick whispered, as Greg bit his lip.

"What about the fireworks?"

"We'll still see them." Nick murmured.

"Okay." Greg said, getting up.

They walked behind the big oak tree, Greg standing infront of the tree.

"What?" Greg asked, as Nick looked everywhere but at Greg.

"I'm trying to think of how to word this." Nick said, as Greg tilted his head.

"Well just be blunt." Greg said, as Nick sighed.

"I-uh-I..oh fuck it." Nick said, as he pushed Greg against the tree. He kissed Greg softly, who's eyes widened slightly, before kissing back.

Nick deepened the kiss, making Greg moan. His hands found themselves in Nick's hair, pulling him towards him. Nick pulled away, panting with Greg.

"Greg, I love you." Nick said, as Greg smiled.

"I love you too." Greg said, "I haven't said it for the longest time..I thought you'd beat me to a pulp."

Nick laughed, feeling something wet on his cheek. Nick looked up and a rain drop hit him in the face. Greg started laughing, as it started raining.

"I'd never hit you." Nick said, as they heard the others groan.

"What a rip off." Warrick said, as they announced the firework show was cancelled.

"We saw 10 of them Warrick." Catherine said, as they got up. Nick and Greg shimmied back in.

"So what did you think of the fireworks that you actually saw Greg?" Sara asked.

"Um..I missed them." Greg said, smiling at Nick.

"How'd you miss---YOU TOLD HIM!" Sara said, as she tackled Greg.

"Actually he told me." Greg said, as Sara smiled.

"So...are you two together?" Sara asked.

"I hope so." Nick said, as Catherine and Warrick laughed.

Sara got off of Greg, helping him up.

"Let's go celebrate!" Catherine said, as Nick picked up Greg.

"We're going to go do our own form of celebrating. BYE!" Nick said, as Greg started laughing.

"Shouldn't I agree to it first."

"Your opinion doesn't matter."

"Great. Now we'll never get them off of eachother." Sara said.

"That's a bad outcome." Warrick said.

"Well at least you guys don't have to hear them acting like love sick puppies."

Warrick and Sara looked at her.

"Yeah right! We'll still have to hear them. Although I can't wait for the details of their first love session." Sara said, as Warrick looked at her.

"I'm going to be there for that." Catherine said, as both girls squealed.

"Wait..you two think guy on guy stuff is hot?"

"Yeah. You think girl on girl stuff is. Besides, Nick's sexy, and Greg's adorable, they make a good match." Sara said, as Catherine and Sara walked ahead of him.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" Warrick asked.

"No. You're hot and intelligent. What more can a girl ask for?" Catherine said.

"A nice ass." Sara said, as they watched Nick put Greg in the car.

"Catherine, can I get a ride home?" Sara asked, as she saw Nick pounce on top of Greg.

"Yeah..me too." Warrick asked, as Catherine laughed.

"Sara, I thought you wanted to see that."

"Details, yes. Not the actual thing. That's private."

"Come on." Catherine said, as they heard a loud moan come from Nick's Tahoe.
