It was definitely not what Greg expected to see when he went out to dinner at a local restaurant. He was sitting at a table with an old friend from college and was sipping a glass of wine when he saw Nick walk into the restaurant. Nick didn't appear to see him, though so Greg didn't acknowledge him. There was another man following behind Nick, but the wall obscured the labrats view so he didn't know who it was. He forgot about Nick and his friend and continued to eat his dinner.

"This place looks great, Nick," Warrick commented as the two of them settled into their booth.

"Yeah, Cath told me about it. She said the food is amazing," Nick responded.

"I'm sure it's not amazing as my company," Warrick flirted. The Texan blushed at the compliment. Warrick smiled and reached for Nick's hand. They continued to chat softly until the waitress came to get their drink order. Once that had been placed they began looking at the menu. The food was just as amazing as Catherine had said and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

"I'm having a wonderful time," Warrick said softly as he placed his elbows on the table and leant towards Nick.

"So am I," Nick murmured just before claiming Warrick's lips in a very hot passionate kiss.

Meanwhile, back with Greg and his friend.

"I'm going to the men's room," Greg announced standing up.

"Okay, I'll be here," his friend replied as she flashed him a smile. Greg laughed as he turned and headed for the bathroom. He'd just reached the wall next to Nick's table when he heard the voices. He recognized the other man's voice as Warrick. He was about to greet the two men but was stopped short by what he saw next. Nicky and Rick were kissing. He didn't even know either of them were gay, let alone interested in each other. Quickly he made his way to the bathroom trying not to draw attention to himself. He accidentally ran into a waiter causing him to drop a drink. Apologizing he hurried the rest of the way to the bathroom then headed back to the table unable to wrap his mind around what he just saw.

It was now Monday night and shift was about to start.

"Hey, Nicky, how was your weekend?" Greg asked entering the break room.

"It was good, how was yours?"

"Mine was awesome. A good friend of mine from college came to town so we went out to dinner at Robbin's last night," Greg answered. He saw the moment Nick registered the name of the restaurant.

"Oh, that's nice," Nick mumbled.

"Yeah, but you'll never guess what I saw there," Greg teased.

"W-w-What?" the Texan stammered.

"You and Rick kissing."

"But, how? I didn't even see you," Nick squeaked. He could feel the panic start to rise.

"Guess you didn't see me in those dim lights, huh? Don't worry about it, I'm fine with it. It was a surprise, but as long as you're happy that's all that matters to me," Greg assured.

"You sure you're fine?" Nick checked.

"Yeah, now let's go before Griss comes looking for us," Greg said slinging his arm around Nick's shoulders and guiding him from the room.

Finished!
