Summary: The worst thing that Greg ever did to Nick and why Nick still won't leave.

***

Nick had nightmares about it all the time – his 'coming out' party on the one year anniversary of his and Greg's relationship. Nick had been excited since they rarely went out – and they had always gone to places Nick had suggested – they had always met up with Nick's people. It was the first time that they were going together to one of Greg's places.

And Nick had been happy – because Greg had been happy. Greg had given him and new collar and Nick had bought Greg a new crop. The original gift of an engraved watch had been hidden, never for Greg to see, because Nick thought better of it at the last minute – a loving, domestic gift would have just upset Greg.

Greg had carefully dressed Nick in leather pants and a tight tee – with the collar, of course. He never told Nick where they were going – Nick had assumed that it was a club – but he never would have expected the type of club that Greg was in to. Nick had thought that the dom/sub thing was just for them – in the privacy of their own bedroom – he didn't know that his coming out party would be the end of that. He would never have believed that Greg would want to spend their anniversary in a hardcore fetish bar.

Nick knew something was wrong from the second that they pulled up to an unmarked warehouse in the outskirts of town. Nick could see that Greg was already hard by the time they had made it to the entrance and paid the cover charge. Almost everyone there seemed to know Greg – or at least knew of him. Everyone looked at Nick like a piece of meat.

Sex was everywhere – men and women and all variations of couples doing all sorts of things – shamelessly, for the world to see. Nick sat down with Greg in some chairs where they could watch a man getting fucked and blown at the same time. Nick had been disgusted and embarrassed, but Greg had sat there and rubbed himself through his jeans. Nick leaned over and told Greg that he wanted to go home – Greg had told him to shut up and behave. Nick wondered how many of the people at the club Greg had been with.

When the threesome was over the young man from the middle of the group walked over to Greg without bothering to dress – or wipe himself off.

"Hi, Greg."

"Hey Todd."

"Is this your new toy?" Todd had asked, gesturing to Nick. "He's a little old."

"And you were a little young."

"I've gotten better since then. My number hasn't changed," he had said as he rubbed Greg's cock and shot a hostile look over to Nick. "If you and him ever want to fuck me... or whatever – you know I'm down for anything and I know you are too – just let me know."

Greg nodded and Todd left. Nick swallowed the bile that had risen in his throat. He wondered when the last time Greg had been here – if Nick was his only partner – Greg had said he was, but Nick didn't know.

"Don't give me that look, Nicky. I still come here to watch – but I haven't touched anyone but you in a year. C'mon, it's your turn."

"My turn?"

"Your coming out party – we're here to show you off. Bend over and brace yourself on that table."

"Greg – no, please. Not here."

"You have to – it's your coming out. It's what we've worked so hard for over the past year."

Nick swallowed – he knew he was about to be fucked in front of the entire club. Greg must have told everyone about what was to happen – the crowd had begun to grow. Nick made one last quiet plea to Greg.

"Just you, Greg. No one else... please?"

"Just me."

Nick closed his eyes and waited for it to be over.

....

Any traces of what had happened between them in Greg's apartment were long gone by the time that Nick paid for their movie tickets. Greg had spent the car ride over talking about every random thing that had happened in the lab over the past week. Once they entered the lobby, his focus had changed from work to finding which movies he thought would be the best based on the coming attractions posters.

Nick was all smiles as he bought popcorn and sodas as Greg mocked the newest teen movie – he even had the employees at the concession stand laughing. That was what Nick couldn't give up – the Greg that he knew was in there – the Greg he knew was held back by whatever was so horrible in Greg's past. Whatever the secret was – Nick was sure it explained Greg's mood swings and sexual proclivities.

Nick's desire to find out the truth about Greg hadn't been so strong before the coming out party. Before the party it had been just them, and Nick had been even excited to try out a different sex from the vanilla sex with women that he had been used to. He had been bored with it and even faked an orgasm on an occasion or two. Sex with Greg had been daring, sometimes even dangerous. It had been exciting – and with Greg –which mattered the most. But after the coming out party it had been bad – Nick had been so shamed by what had happened – everyone watching and Greg whispering such demeaning things in his ear the whole time.

That was when Nick had almost left – almost left Greg for good. Greg had finally taken him home and tried to chain him to the bed and use the new crop on him. Nick had screamed no – a word he had never used with Greg before. Greg had released him and Nick had fled home. The next night, Greg had come for him – he had been crying about what he had done to Nick – he said he was sorry. Nick believed him and they had made love – real love, the kind that Nick wanted – the kind that was just about being close and had almost nothing to do with sex.

The slow slide started up again and it was then that Nick had started to try to find out what had happened to Greg. He tried to use his police access into Greg's files and came up with several very disturbing hospital stays – but no one would tell him why Greg had been there. There were no police reports, but several incidents that Greg was connected to in San Francisco and New York. Any times that Nick got up the guts to talk to Greg directly ended up in the use of a crop or other device – including one time when Greg had left Nick tied up with a vibrating butt plug in him while Greg went grocery shopping. Nick had always taken those punishments without a word, because he knew he should have been lurking around in Greg's past.

Nick tried to stop thinking as they sat down in the theater and put the popcorn between the two of them. He loved the cliched way that their hands would touch when they both reached in at the same time. By the middle of the movie, the popcorn had been forgotten and they were holding hands underneath the coat that Nick had draped in the space between them.

After the movie, Nick drove Greg back to his place before work. They made out in the parking lot like high schoolers for a half an hour. Greg never tried anything and neither did Nick – they both took the time to remember how great just kissing could be. As Greg got out of the car, Nick thought that they might have had an actual breakthrough – amazing sex, fights without beatings, some actual talking, kissing without sex.

"Don't touch me at work, Nicky. I told you last time. Do it again and I'll take you to the club."
