God it seem like I haven't posted for years :eek:. Sorry about that guys :(. Well here is a new fic, hope it makes up for my LOOOONG absence :).

This is set before season 6, but after grave danger :D

Chapter 1

Sara Sidle had never felt so bored in her entire life. She was stuck in her apartment, the reason being she had maxed out on overtime again. But she had a reason for that, her good friend Nick Stokes had been abducted a few weeks ago and he only just got out of hospital:

God I can't stand this any more! She thought, standing to pace the floor. She was not used to doing nothing. She only maxed out this month to keep her mind of the recent events.

A few months before, she and her supervisor, Gil Grissom, agreed for her to take days off from work when she needed to. After her raving blowout with Conrad Ecklie and Catherine Willows, she was a slight emotional wreak. She opened up to Grissom about her dark family secret, she only ever opened up to him.

I wonder what he is doing? Maybe I could call him...talk with him. They also agreed that whenever Sara was feeling stressed or alone, he would lend her a sympathic ear and shoulder to cry on. Their friendship had been repaired to soom degree, although there was still a little more to be put in to make it like before...like when they were in San Francisco.

Sara decided that she was going to give Grissom a call, as it was his night off too:

The phone rung, "Hello?" Said a voice on the other end of the line.

"Hey Grissom, it's Sara."

"Hi. Is something wrong?"

"Not really. I'm just bored, can we talk for a while?"

"Of course we can. To be honest, I'm not having very much fun either." Sara could see his Grissom-esque smile, even if he was on the other end of the phone-line.

"Can uhhh...you come over for a bit. I think I need to speak to you face to face."

"Yes, I be over in a few minutes."

"Ok, see you then."

Sara then hung up and smiled to herself. She revelled in the fact that their friendship was back on track.

True to his word, Grissom arrived at Sara's apartment a few minutes later. He had also brought dinner, even if it was chinese take-out, he knew it would make Sara smile. He did wonder why Sara sounded depressed on the phone, but after what happened he didn't blame her:

"How are you feeling? You sounded upset." He placed the food on Sara's kitchen counter and walked up to her.

Sara just looked at her supervisor. Telling him with her eyes how she felt inside.

"I know. It's been rough these last few weeks. Nicky is fine now, still on some painkillers, but fine nonetheless."

"I know that. Nicky is a fighter." Grissom saw she was fighting back tears.

"Hey?" A single tear fell, and Grissom caught it, halting its travels. "Sara it's alright."

"I look stupid." She bluntly stated, frustrated with herself.

"No you don't, you're upset." Grissom pulled her closer to him. Sara hesitated for a moment, but then let him wrap his arms around her, welcoming the comfort.

Sara mumbled something incoherant into Grissom's shirt. Grissom wondered if he heard what he thought he heard.
 
Again sorry for the long delay in the update, as soon as I posted the 1st chapter, my teachers decided to be mean and pile on a load of work. I've got a slight break so here is my next chapter.


Chapter 2

Grissom smiled against her head and thought about Sara’s last words. They kept replaying over and over in his mind. Please stay, I want you here to hold me, like he could ever leave. He knew he had done some pretty nasty things over the years, pretending he didn’t care. He ended up hurting himself more, keeping her at a distance, and not letting her in. It didn’t work. She always found a way to melt his heart, or tweak it in the direction where he just wanted to be with her and forget everyone else. Hurt him, not deliberately, but in that way where he questioned why he wasn’t with her and happy:

"I’ll never leave you again." He whispered against her hair, yet with firmness to his voice where she could not doubt him.

"Thank you." She murmured back.

He guided her to the sofa where he sat her down and moved a stray strand of hair from her face. He then walked briskly into her kitchen and set out the meal he had brought her. He guessed she had not eaten in a while, as when he opened her fridge there was nothing within it but a few bottles of water.

Sara looked toward him and noticed he was stared into the depths of her fridge, "Yeah I’ve not had the time or energy to go grocery shopping yet." She said with a slight laugh.

"Hey you don’t need to worry about that tonight, I’ve brought the food, and you have the refreshments." He held up the contents.

"Yeah I really need to shop more often. Two bottles of water can’t sustain you for long."

Grissom smiled at her remark, and he loved the fact that she was smiling again. He set out the food and brought it to her, along with a bottle of water.

They ate in a comfortable silence, every once in a while sharing long glances at one another. Sara was the first to finish and stood up quietly. She then picked up her plate and strolled into the kitchen placing it into the sink. When she returned to the table, she noticed Grissom had also finished and repeated her actions with his plate:

"Sara."

"It’s my house and you’re my guest. Plus you brought the food it’s only fair if I clean up."

"Ok." He didn’t feel like arguing.

Sara returned to the sofa pretty quickly and they fell into another silence. Grissom shifted nervously, he really wanted to say something to her, but he couldn’t get the sentence to form in his head. Sara spotted him, and gazed at his nervous posture:

"Are you alright?"

"Uhh, yes fine."

"Ok."

Grissom glanced at her, wishing he could just say it, get it over with. Tell her everything and more. Apologise.
