I also think that Nick's got more confident in the last season or so, maybe since they've been together for a while, and he knows he can be totally himself, and if he wants to do something (like wink in redrum) then he will, because he knows how Greggo feels about him.
Agreed! He definitely gets more confident as time goes on, and he gets more comfortable with himself and being with Greg rubs off on him (ahem).
Thank you all for all fanfic related comments, I'm glad people read and enjoyed, I had immense fun writing that one. I wrote fluff today...I don't know what's the matter with me, I'm virtually angst free this week
Just been watching S2
Anatomy of a Lye...Greg is so trying to impress Nick with all that ‘mountain shadow effect’ stuff...Nick is trying equally hard not to look impressed. Until the end, and he has this little expression on his face. Nick’s face always gives him away. I forget how many scenes there are like this, where Greg casually suggests something to Nick, ever-so-nonchalantly, that totally makes the case. I’m thinking of similar scenes in
Scuba Doobie Doo and
Up in Smoke just to name a couple. I think early on, like in the S2 scenes, Nick is really frustrated because he doesn’t want to give himself away by thanking Greg too effusively or showing he is impressed. But, oh, he is
]I think he likes, but is a little intimidated by, the fact that Greg is so clever. I’m not saying Nick’s not, because he is, but he has a more linear logic, he’s very focused, whereas Greg’s openness to new ideas and ‘thinking outside the box’ for want of a phrase that isn’t a horrible corporate motto (sorry) allows him to see stuff that Nick doesn’t see. They just make a wonderful crime-fighting team, do they not...*sigh*
And they look great together, and have amazing chemistry. Don’t mind me, I’m just in a sappy Love mood
