#01 - Ring
When David finally shows up at the hospital, there are dark rings around his eyes, and as he collapses in the chair beside Greg’s bed, the blond instantly lets go of the hurt and anger inside and clutches his lover’s hand.
#02 - Hero
“My hero,” Greg teases, and David huffs in annoyance, but nonetheless picks up the spider and deposits it safely outside.
#03 - Memory
David doesn’t have many good memories from LA, but as he and Greg arrive at the airport, hand in hand, he knows that he’ll make them.
#04 - Box
There is a box around David’s heart, and only Greg is brave enough and stubborn enough to tear through it.
#05 - Run
When David looks into the cold eyes of his father, he has to fight the urge to run, but when he feels a gentle squeeze of his hand and looks beside him to see Greg, he knows that he won’t ever run.
#06 - Hurricane
David groaned as he looked at his apartment; after a weekend spent with Greg, it looks like a hurricane has torn through it, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
#07 - Wings
When Greg is with David, he can laugh freely, forgetting images of fire and destruction, rising above it, almost as if he is flying.
#08 - Cold
There are those who say that everything about David Hodges is cold, but as Greg looks up into smouldering eyes all he can see is warm passion.
#09 - Red
There is a streak of dark red still on Greg’s cheek, where it had dripped from the cut above his eye, and David only just manages to curb the need for violence within himself.
#10 - Drink
“To Dave and Greg, the most eccentric lab rat couple of all,” Jacqui toasts, and they all drink.
#11 - Midnight
It’s midnight, and they are mid-shift, but David still takes the time to call Greg, and make sure his sick lover is okay.
#12 - Temptation
The temptation is too great, and Greg leans over to lick the smudge of chocolate from David’s cheek, relishing the sight of his blush more so than the rich sweetness on his tongue.
#13 - View
David has never been more glad for the glass windows as he stares through them into Greg’s lab, where the lab tech is dancing happily, oblivious to watching eyes.
#14 - Music
Their taste in music is radically different, so they stand in their living room, dancing quietly to music only they can hear.
#15 - Silk
David has to pause to catch his breath at the sight of Greg, spread out on his bed, bound by silk ties.
#16 - Cover
The darkness is a brilliant cover, as they snuck away from their own party, desperate for a moment just together.
#17 - Promise
When Greg stops dancing and turns to look at David, there is a dark promise in his eyes that David will never admit makes him shiver in anticipation.
#18 - Dream
It’s not something David will ever admit to, but this, just sitting here with Greg, is something he has dreamed about for a long time.
#19 - Candle
There are candles spread around the room, but what makes David’s breath catch in his chest is the sight of Greg, pale skin gleaming by the flickering flames.
#20 - Talent
When David and Greg are in their own labs, working furiously to save a life, the other lab techs can admit that the pair are still the most talented out of the lot of them.
#21 - Silence
They sit in silence, but it isn’t awkward, it’s a welcome break from the loud rush of their lives.
#22 - Journey
It’s been a long journey to get to where they are, Greg muses, but he wouldn’t change it for the world.
#23 - Fire
David erases images of fire and damage from behind Greg’s eyes with every soft kiss.
#24 - Strength
Not many people realise it, but David Hodges in one of the strongest people in the lab, right up there with Nick and Warrick, which Greg realises only when David is single-handedly moving his furniture down to the truck waiting to move it all to Greg’s -their- house.
#25 - Mask
It’s only when Greg and David are alone that the sarcastic lab technician can let the mask drop.
#26 - Ice
Bobby looks at Warrick in fury, ice in his eyes, when the other man accuses David of setting of the explosion that had hurt Greg.
#27 - Fall
Greg isn’t afraid of the fall anymore, not now, not when he knows that David will catch him every time.
#28 - Forgotten
It’s only when Nick catches a glimpse of David in the locker room, the other man looking completely defeated, that he realises just who they’ve forgotten to tell about Greg.
#29 - Dance
Greg loves to dance, but David doesn’t, so they compromise, dancing together in their living room.
#30 - Body
David still has nightmares of seeing Greg’s still body lying on Doc Robbins’ table.
#31 - Sacred
Greg knows that David’s CD collection is as sacred as his.
#32 - Farewells
Jacqui hurls herself into David’s arms, giving her surprised best friend a tight hug, before tearfully telling him to have a great time on their honeymoon.
#33 - World
David has never said it, but Greg knows he’s the world to him.
#34 - Formal
David makes a face as he puts on his suit, but Greg’s happy face more than makes up for the formal wear.
#35 - Fever
Greg puts his hand on David’s forehead, worriedly checking for a fever, even as David rasps ‘I don’t get sick!” and the blond has to grin at his trademark stubbornness.
#36 - Laugh
Catherine only realises how much she doesn’t know about Hodges when she sees him laughing with Greg.
#37 - Lies
There are no lies between them, not anymore, and Greg has never been so happy.
#38 - Forever
Greg can’t promise him forever, not with their jobs, but he knows that he blond will give him what he can, and that’s enough.
#39 - Overwhelmed
“I love you,” Greg whispers, and David buries his head in Greg’s shoulder, over-whelmed by the simple, honest statement.
#40 - Whisper
Bobby watches in amusement as Greg whispers something in David’s ear, and the older lab tech blushes furiously.
#41 - Wait
It’s a long wait in the doctor’s office, but worth it when Greg emerges with a huge grin, clutching papers in one hand.
#42 - Talk
David is one of the few people who can keep up with Greg when he rambles, and one of the fewer people who can actually contribute and understand when he talks.
#43 - Search
David is glad that despite what he told himself, his subconscious never abandoned the search for love when he hugs Greg to him.
#44 - Hope
When Jacqui looks at David and Greg, the unlikely couple still happily together 5 years later, she finds that there is still hope in the world.
#45 - Eclipse
The shadows under Jacqui’s eyes are eclipsed by the bright smile on her, David and Greg’s faces as their doctor introduces them to Daniel Franco Hodges-Sanders.
#46 - Gravity
David is Greg’s gravity, holding him tied down firmly to the ground while still allowing him to fly safely.
#47 - Highway
‘Highway to Hell’ is Greg’s favourite song, and David is almost, but not quite, ashamed to admit he knows all the words, despite what he says.
#48 - Unknown
David’s fear of the unknown is gone as he spares a sidelong look at Greg’s happy smile.
#49 - Lock
Greg is the only person with a key to the lock on David’s heart, and neither of them would change it.
#50 - Breathe
With Greg safely in his arms, David can breathe safely again.
