Gil loves Nick's hair. It's glossy, thick and soft- so unbelievably soft.

The rest of Nick's body is all hard lines and strong muscles -defined jaws, chiselled stomach and toned glute-so his hair is a welcomed change like a refreshing drizzle over the beautifully magnificent Rocky Mountains.

After a hard day at work: unsolved child-abuse cases, followed by Ecklie shoving up his ass and the sheriff breathing down his neck, Gil seeks refuge in Nick's hair. He buries his face in Nick's hair, and feels as though the strands brush his mind free of the day's tribulations. He inhales Nick's scent from the top of his head and its intoxicating. It relaxes him and drowns his sorrows better than any alcohol, and without the hangover or negative side-effects.

Catching a mouthful of Nick's hair playfully between his lips, Gil is reminded of his childhood pleasure of eating cotton candy. Soft and sweet. Just like the Nick he knew and loved.
