Why this must be read: Someone once said something to me about how they don't read established couple fic because it tends to be about either sex or fluff and always lacks tension. If that is true (and I'm not saying it is) there are still always exceptions, like this story.
By Season Seven of the show, it's obvious that the Graveyard shift has been under a lot of stress, including the guest appearance of CSI Keppler (oh Liev Schreiber, I love you!) and the "reverse forensics" trick he pulls with Catherine. Nick in particular has had his faith shaken and it showed. This story is about the impact that would have had on his relationship with Greg.
It's a simple story. Nick's fed up. He's been thinking about leaving Vegas, even if he hasn't wanted to ask himself yet if Greg would go with him. But as angry as he is, there's glass on the floor and Greg is barefoot, and he doesn't want to risk hurting Greg.
