Summary:
Set during S3 “Inside the Box”. Greg still feels the after-effects of the explosion and Nick tries to help him.
Greg looked up, his eyes darting warily towards the DNA lab on the other side of the hall before he looked at Nick. The CSI stood in the doorway to the makeshift lab, lounging there in a way that suggested he’d been there for a while. Turning his head quickly Greg forced himself not to blush. He was on edge enough just being here, he didn’t need to get all flustered over Nick right now.
“Are you alright?”
No, but that’s not what he says out loud. “I’m fine.” He smiles through the lie, keeping his eyes turned away so that Nick can’t see the truth. What’s one more lie when he already has so many floating between him and Nick.
“You’re shaking.”
Looking down at his hands, he’s not surprised that he is. “It’ll stop.” He’s not sure when but Grissom thinks it will. He’d like to believe that as well but sometimes…. Sometimes he feels like it’s all just too much and he’s going to break. It’s been like that for a while with him and Nick but now, with the explosion, he just couldn’t keep things hidden anymore.
“Does Grissom know?”
He nodded again. He didn’t want anyone to know but at least with Grissom it would have stayed a secret. Now the entire shift would know before the night was over. Not that they wouldn’t have figured it out sooner or later. He worked with trained investigators, chances were at least one of them would notice it.
A hand landed on his shoulder and Greg almost jumped out of his skin.
