Pairing: Nick/Greg
Rating: PG
Summary: Nick knows he picked this song. Nick thinks he's teasing him beyond thought. What Nick doesn't know won't hurt him.

"He's such a tease." Nick told Warrick, who was laughing.

"I'm sorry, I'm trying not to laugh...but it's difficult." Warrick said.

"He played this song on purpose!" Nick exclaimed.

"No he didn't. Calm down!" Warrick said.

I was dancing with a dirty blond Texan
Charming accent but the music's playing too loud for talking
So I showed him how people in the Far East get down

"No he did Warrick. How many songs mention Texan's?"

"But you aren't a dirty blonde Nick."

"I don't care! And look at him, dancing like that." Nick said, glaring at the body.

"Plus he's not from the Far East." Warrick said, holding his laughter in.

Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
...what a workout!

"I hardly doubt he's innocent in this whole affair." Nick said, as Warrick handed him a napkin.

"You look like you're about to drool man." Warrick told him.

"No I'm not!" Nick said, "He doesn't have this affect on me."

If you want, you can come
Come get it, get it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin' shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight

"I really am going to murder him." Nick said, "This is taking teasing to a whole new level."

"You can't really say anything Nicky. You haven't exactly gone up to him and been like, "Hey! I love you. Let's go fuck." Now have you?"

"With him it's not fucking Warrick." Nick said, smiling faintly.

"War, I know he doesn't like me. He's in love with Sara."

"You don't know that!"

"But I do."

I was talking with a born-again Christian
'So what's it like to start life all over?'
He said 'Amen, I feel like I've been rediscovering the tomb Tutankhamen.

"This...is torture Warrick." Nick said, "Why'd I come to this party again?"

"Because you haven't been to a party in a long time."

"Why didn't you tell me he was going to be here?"

"Because I heard he'd said he wasn't going to come." Warrick said.

"Well he's obviously here!"

"I think Sara might've guilt tripped him."

"No shit Sherlock." Nick said.

"Here he comes." Warrick said, walking away.

"Hey Nick!"

"Hey, what's up with you?"

"Nothing much. Come dance with me."

"I-I don't know."

"Come on. It's not like I bite...well...hard."

"Greg, I'm not sure."

Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Baby don't put me down
...what a workout!

"O-Okay." Nick said, letting Greg drag him over to where their friends were.

Greg wasn't holding him, just moving his hips along with the song.

Nick tried to follow his example, but found he was having difficulty.

"Come on Nicky, it's easy." Greg said, putting his hands on Nick's hips.

He helped the Texan sway his hips with his body with the song.

What you want, it's a done deal
Shake it, shake it
What you don't, you can forget about it, 'bout it
Up and down, feel your brainwaves jumpin' jumpin'
Make me wanna take a dive
As we count to five

Nick pulled Greg to him, both swaying their hips to the song. Nick saw Warrick smirking from over Greg's shoulder.

Can you hold on someone's calling on the other line

"So are you glad you came?" Greg asked.

"Yeah, very glad." Nick said, "I haven't had a lot of fun in the past few months."

"Yeah...me neither."

"Why not? I thought you were a wild child." Nick said.

"I still am, I've just toned it down some." Greg said, "I'm trying to catch someone's attention, but they keep on turning me down."

Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
...what a workout!

"Really? That person must be really stupid if they keep turning you down G."

"You think so?" Greg asked.

"Yeah you're an awesome guy. Really smart, kind, and generous." Nick said, adding a few more words in his head.

"Thanks Nick." Greg said, blushing.

"It's no problem. That's kind of what's been happening with me. This person just refuses to notice me." Nick said, as Greg sighed.

"I guess we've both been having trouble huh?" Greg asked, as Nick nodded.

"Guess so..."

"So if you don't mind my asking, who's this person?" Greg asked, as Nick sighed.

"I can't tell you." Nick said, "Can you tell me who your person is?"

If you want, you can come
Come get it, get it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin' shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight

"If you promise not to freak out. I can give you a hint." Greg said.

"I won't freak out G."

"It's a guy at the lab." Greg said, as Nick's heart fluttered.

"Really? Who?" Nick asked, "Unlike most of my family, I'm open minded."

Greg smiled at Nick widely.

"Another hint is he's on our team." Greg said.

"Is he a CSI?"

"Yes."

'That means Warrick, Grissom, and me.' Nick thought, letting Greg's hands move his hips. It felt good, and Nick was thinking that Greg was probably in love with Warrick.

"Is he old or young?"

"Well he's not as old as Grissom." Greg said.

'That means either Warrick or me.'

"So that means it's either Warrick or myself right.?"

Greg nodded his head.

"Okay last question Greggo. Does he have afro-like hair?" Nick asked.

"No." Greg said simply.

Nick's heart jumped to his throat.

"That means it's me."

"It's always been you." Greg said, "I guess you think it's kinda stupid...that I tried to change a little...so you would think I wasn't a kid."

"G, it's stupid to change for someone who loved you no matter what."

"Well I know tha---wait...you love me?"

"Always have. God, how stupid are we?"

"Very stupid." Greg said, smiling.

Nick smiled back at him.

"Would it be okay if I kissed you?" Nick asked, as Greg tilted his head.

"Only if it's okay if I kiss you back."

Nick shook his head, before kissing Greg gently. Both smiled slightly into the kiss, before pulling back.

"Let's get out of here." Greg said.

"Who sings this? I like her songs."

"Utada Hikaru...I thought you would. That's why I asked Archie to play this song."

"I knew it."

A/N: This came to me by listening to The Workout by Utada Hikaru. I heard Texan and thought of Nick. See how I have a one track mind.
