"Hey, you woke up."
"I think you broke me." He complained.
"Yeah, but you enjoyed it."
"I don't think men my age should orgasm that hard…ever."
Nick grinned, "You're not that old."
"Word."
Nick burst out laughing at his use of hip lingo, "Don't do that."
He shrugged at his lover and grabbed the mug from unsuspecting hands.
"Hey!"
"All is fair in love and war."
Nick stilled, face becoming serious. "Which is this?"
Good question. Now, if only he knew the answer. Oh, he fancied himself in love with Nick, but was it love? Did he truly love Nick or was this just the beginnings of love?
"I…" He stopped. "I could love you. I'm not to love just yet, but I'm getting there."
"Same here."
He sighed with relief, at least he wasn't going to have to deal with Nick not being on the same page as him.
"You know, it's funny, but you really aren't anything like what I first thought…"
"A snarky, sarcastic bastard who likes working overtime?"
Nick laughed again, "I guess I didn't…don't know you all that well."
He smiled slightly. They had been coworkers for many years, but they hadn't known one another.
"We have time though. Don't we?"
"Yes." He smiled.
They had all the time in the world
Fin An: this is the end, sadly my friends, but don't worry...I will continue to write Hodges/Nick fics.
