GSRFan4Life elaborated, and I have chosen to do a ficlet based on the fantasy part of Time of Your Death. I think two GSR people might actually read this, so to those two, enjoy. ^_^
“I think fantasies are best kept in private.”
Sara looked over at her boss. Did he really say that out loud? His gaze fell on her but no one else seemed to notice.
She barely paid attention as Nick, Catherine, and Greg conversed, and only until they were gone did she realize what happened.
The look he shot her was certainly more than innocent. She merely smiled at him, not exactly sure what else to do.
Throughout the past few weeks - especially this case - he’d been making suggestive comments that reminded her of the old days when her and Grissom had a lighter relationship. She had often wondered what it would look like if Grissom had shown an interest in her.
‘Probably like that.’
He didn’t get up for a while so she didn’t either. Maybe if she stayed long enough he would actually elaborate on what he said.
Before he could get a chance to say anything, curiosity got the best of her and she spoke up.
“So… what now?”
He blinked and just stared at her.
“Would you care to elaborate?“
Damn him for sounding so calm.
“This case sure did bring out … something in you. That’s all.”
She rose, getting ready to leave. He got up as well.
Over her shoulder, she could barely see him smile. Now that was something she had to address.
“You’re smiling,” she accused lightly.
“I’m not supposed to?”
“No, I just didn’t expect it. But it was nice. You should smile more often.”
She was getting pulled in… he always pulled her in. That smile did nothing to help.
As they walked the halls, she was dimly aware that they were walking in the same direction. She knew where she was going, but was he following her?
“Looks like we’re both going to clock out early,” Sara strained to keep up the conversation.
“Yes. That case made me realize a few things.” He replied.
“A case about a fantasy made you realize you should work less?” She didn’t understand.
“In a way. But I was talking about something else.”
He walked ahead, leaving her to think about what he said.
By the time he was at his car she caught up, daring to ask.
“What do you mean? What else is there?”
“Believe it or not, my fantasies involve more than just work.”
‘Could’ve fooled me,’ Sara thought.
Rather than tell him this outright, she vaguely addressed it, “Well, you’re a private guy. Remember? ’Fantasies are best kept in private?’,” she quoted.
“We don’t know much about you, Grissom. I’ve always wanted to know … but maybe that’s just me.”
Once again she over talked around him. But he didn’t brush her off, or even clam up.
With a look that could only be described as mischievous - a look she never thought she would see again - Grissom opened the passenger door. He gestured for her to get in.
“If you really want to know, get in.”
What was she supposed to do? She looked around, but of course no one was in the parking lot with them. No one around to tell her this was real. They were all alone.
A sudden bout of hope struck up as she realized what he was implying.
“You,” she was thankful for her steady voice, “Want me to get in? Where are we going?”
“That,” he emphasized, “Is up to you.”
“Who are you and what have you done with my boss?” She joked weakly, but did as she was told, and climbed inside. Who was she to deny an invitation like this?
“I’m a man who realized that the fantasy isn’t enough. I want the reality, Sara.”
He sounded so sure of himself. He didn’t need to beat her over the head with it. She recognized that voice. It was one she had used on him when she asked him out, when she told him about her past.
It was vulnerability. Grissom did feel the same way. She was blown away.
“Griss… what are you saying?”
She just needed him to tell her. After all their years of cat and mouse, she wouldn’t let him get to her until they were both sure.
Without hesitation he answered, “You’re my fantasy.”
She didn’t say anything.
He elaborated, taking her silence as something bad, “If you’ll let me Sara. If I’m not too late…”
She turned to him. No doubts, no confusion. Just caring and anticipation. Perhaps, their own little fantasy would finally come into play.
“Let’s start at your apartment.”
He smiled. An honest, hopeful smile that would surely be one of many.
Well, there you go. I hope you liked it, and maybe this is how the two got together. Just gotta plug the fic I’m currently working on ---> If you like a Grissom/Sara or Greg/Sara, I am working on a love triangle between them! I hope you’ll try and check it out.
Now I will work on AmandaSzmanda’s ficlet request.
