He never made friends easily. It had always been very hard for him. It all went back to the child in the kindergarten, fascinated not by the purring cat or the yelping dog but by the butterflies, dancing always just out of his reach.
Turning his fascination into his job had helped him. Suddenly people listened to what he was saying, paid attention to his obsession.
Coming to Vegas had been his best decision ever. He sat in the lab's breakroom and with a feeling of deep satisfaction he gazed at his team.
No, not his team … his friends.

Nick swallowed when he saw his lover leaving Ecklie's office. His look was one of pure hatred. He wondered what Ecklie might have done this time to piss the other man off like that. Gil Grissom looked like he was ready to hunt and kill. He had a look that promised nothing good.
He wanted to follow Gil when he suddenly noticed Sofia, who left Ecklie's office with an expression very similar to Gil's.
He swallowed again and was glad not to be in Ecklie's shoes. Because he knew that from this day on, Conrad Ecklie had two enemies more.

This is my lover. May I introduce Nick Stokes? He is my lover. I shake my head as I stare at myself in the mirror. This is the first convention we attend together. Not as a couple but as representatives of the Las Vegas Crime Lab.
It's not the first time we're at a Crime Convetion together. But the first time since we've become lovers. I wonder how to introduce him to other people.
Colleague?
That would be almost an insult.
Friend?
Not enough.
Lover?
Too much. Not everybody needs to know where we stand. But on the other hand...I guess all they have to do is take a look at Nick when I'm around. He's radiating joy with every fibre.
This is Nick Stokes, my man.
There. It's that simple.

They smile at him and treat him like he's always been a part of us. In a way he was. Over the past few years had been times where I wouldn't have made it without him.
Amy Hendler, to begin with.
Staring at the business end of a gun with my name written on the next bullet is no fun. He safed me that day. His presence kept me sane, helped me to get back to the office. Finish my case.
Nigel Crane, the next one.
A stalker from the worst kind who tried to be me.
And Walter Gordon. Last but certainly not least. Still the main star of all my nightmares.
It was Gil I ran to, that first night when I was home from hospital and the memories came to the surface and threatend to overwhelm me.
He's been by my side ever since. Helping me, guiding me.
Loving me.
Now he's here, together with my sisters and their husbands, with my nieces and nephews. And with my parents. He's not only a part of me now...he's now also a part of my family.

Nick Stokes was one of the kindest people Gil knew. Never before had he met someone so openminded.
Sometimes Nick's way to interact with other people caused Gil a headache. Like when he saved a prostitue from a stranger and brought her home. Only to be the mainsuspect in her murder only hours later.
Sometimes he was amazed at the young man's ability to see the good in every one. The best example for that was Cassie and Nick's obsession to safe her.
For Nick Stokes there were no strangers. Only friends he hadn't met yet.
Gil envied him that.

He liked Sara. Liked her really. But why was she so damned stubborn? Why was she so determined to change the way things were now? Gil sighed softly and pulled his lover closer who was sleeping peacefully next to him.
She would never be able to win his heart. She wasn't his type. She didn't even have the right gender. Nick on the other hand...Gil smiled and kissed the younger man's naked shoulder gently.
Then he remembered Sara's latest not so subtle advance from two hours again and sighed softly.
They were teammates. She just had to understand that.
#027 Parents

Nick loved his parents. Loved them really. But sometimes he simply wanted to put them on the next plane and send them back to Texas. Like right now for example. For almost two hours now he was listening to their arguments that staying in Vegas was not the right decision. After all that had happend he should be glad to get away for a while. But he couldn't. Because here in Vegas was the only one who was able to keep him safe. Absentmindedly, he turned the ring on his left hand. And suddenly, as if sensing Gil's presence, he smiled.

Her breathing evened out and after a few minutes Cassie was fast asleep. Nick gazed down at her, taking in her relaxed features, the bandage around her throat, the IV leading down to her hand. Nick always had wanted to have children. Though up until know he hadn't really thought about it. But now, seeing Cassie sleeping peacefully, this wish came through again with power. He cast a glance at his lover and saw the same wish in Gil's blue eyes. And there was something about Gil in this moment that made Nick think about a home filled with children.
Prompt: #029 "Birth"

Nick Stokes looked at Cassie and smiled sadly. Such a brave girl. He had always known that she'd to be alive. That she wouldn't give up so easily. And when they finally had found her, he had felt so reliefed that for a moment he was almost dizzy.
They had tried to kill her. How could someone want to kill someone as small and helpless as Cassie?
She had been reborn that day, though up until know she might not be aware of that fact. Carefully he reached out, took her hand in his and stroked gently over her hand.

Sometimes he wished he hadn't survived. That he would have found the courage to kill himself. When he'd been laying in the ground, buried alive.
He didn't know what was worse...being the CSI who survived. Or the CSI who had been kidnapped.
When he‘d be sleeping, he was turning restlessly around. He had to take sleeping pills to find some rest.
But the worst about all this was Gil. He comforted him whenever a nightmare woke him up. And whenever he looked into his tired eyes, could feel his exhaustion after another sleepless night...he wished that he‘d pulled the trigger.
