Disclaimer: I don't own CSI, I should I really should, then they might get a clue and put Grissom and Sara together.
A/N: My second CSI fanfiction, hope ya like, and don't worry I'm not abandoning Busted, I just have to get past this writers block.
Greg Sanders sat in his lab just swiveling around in his chair. There was nothing to do, no results were needed, nothing needed to be compared, and his favorite CSI's were hauled up in the Break Room passing the time. Apparently crime decided to take the week off. His mind began to wander as the minutes ticked by. He saw Sara walk pass the lab, a bored expression on her face. Ahh Sara you and I belong together even if all of your other fellow CSI's can't see it, though one day they will and so will you. He thought.
It then occurred to him that he did not know what all of the other lab techs thought about him and Sara. Hmmm maybe he could find out what they thought, and he could find out if they thought any of the other CSI's on nightshift belonged together. He grabbed a sheet of paper and quick titled his new poll,
Compatible CSI's.
He then listed these couples,
Sara and himself (ooh yeah) he thought,
Sara and Nick,
Sara and Warrick and last but not least
Sara and Grissom. (I gotta give the guy something.)
He then listed Catherine and himself (his second choice)
Catharine and Nick,
Catharine and Warrick,
and then Catharine and Grissom.
He then put a tally mark under his and Sara's names, now he thought lets see what the others think.
A couple of hours, (and 4 cups of coffee) later, Greg found his poll back on his desk. Yes, finally.
Underneath him and Sara's name, was one tally mark, his own.
Awww Shucks he thought.
There were a few underneath Catherine and Warrick's name,
one underneath Catherine and Grissom's.
Then to his shock, all of the rest of the lab techs had tallied underneath Sara and Grissom's names.
He hadn't seen that one coming.
He was still shaking his head at the results when Catherine walked in.
"Hey Greg, what've you got there."
He nearly jumped out of his skin.
"Ohh it's nothing." He said nervously, while trying to hide the paper. But Catherine was too quick for him, one look at the title and she snatched it out of his hand.
"Greg what exactly have you been doing on this slow night?" He grinned sheepishly at her, "I'm confiscating this." She told him and raced out of the room before he could protest.
She made it to the empty Break Room and then burst out laughing. Typical Greg, she thought as she looked at the paper closely, the results were hilarious, except the one about her and Warrick, that one made her smile for a different reason. She didn't see Sara walk in. "Hey," the tall brunette said, "What are you smiling about."
"Ohh Greg has been up to a little mischief and decided to poll the lab rats to see who they thought was most compatible between us CSI's."
"Your kidding," she said grinning.
"'Fraid not, look here one person thought you and Greg should go out, bet I know who that is."
"Greg" they said at the same time and started laughing.
"What else does it say?"
"Well one person thinks Grissom is the apple of my eye."
"Really?" Sara asked, Catherine must have been seeing things because she could swear she saw jealousy flash across Sara's eyes.
"Yes, but I think that it is ridiculous."
"Are you sure, I mean you have been friends a long time, are you sure nothing is going on between you and him?
"Yes, we are just friends, besides, he's to weird for me." Now I know I'm seeing things, she thought, because Sara looked almost relieved. "Look, a few people think Warrick and I are made for each other. Catherine couldn't keep herself from smiling.
Sara noticed, "Uh huh, I see that look, you are very pleased about that."
"What."
"Don't think I haven't noticed the looks you two have been throwing each other. I think you should go for it." At least somebody will be happy, she thought.
"I haven't been... wait a sec. did you just say he has been looking at me?"
"Who hasn't seen you guys flirt?"
Catherine smiled, "You think he likes me?"
"Does a gnat have wings?"
She smiled, "OK, now the couple with the most votes surprisingly is you and Grissom, who would've seen that." Catherine laughed.
But Sara had grabbed the paper out of Catherine's hand and stared at it. A slow smile crept up her face when she saw all of those marks. Catherine stopped laughing. What was going on?
"Sara isn't that funny?"
"Uh, yeah... hilarious." She said absentmindedly, she was till smiling at the paper.
It finally dawned on Catherine, "Oh my gosh, you like Grissom."
"What, n-no I don't"
"Yes you do."
"No I-I don't like him."
"Sara, you're a horrible liar."
She froze she knew she was caught, "I know." She moaned.
"I cannot believe this, when did this happen? How? Why didn't I notice?"
"You were too busy staring at Warrick."
"I just- I can't believe you like him."
"Like who?"
Both of the women jumped a mile in the air, they turned to see Nick staring at them. "Who likes who?"
"Sara likes Grissom." The words were out of Catherine's mouth before she even realized she said, but Sara did, and so did Nick.
"You have got to be joking," but he saw Sara glaring at Catherine and he knew this was no joke, "I can't believe this."
"Shut up." Sara yelled.
"Just tell me the truth and don't lie to me because everyone can tell when you lie, do you really like him?" Nick asked.
The thought of lying crossed her mind, but even she knew that wasn't going to work, "Yes." She said very softly.
"Wow." He said.
"Tell me about it." Catherine replied, "I don't know about you Nick, but I want to hear more about this."
"I'm not going to tell you anything."
"Oh yes you will or I will march right down to Grissom's office and tell him the truth."
"You wouldn't," but Sara wouldn't put it past her, Catherine loved solving other people's problems, whether it would help them or not. "All right I'll talk, but you better not breath a word about this to any one."
"That's all we want."
"It better be, what do you want to know?"
"Why do you like him?" Nick asked.
"What's not to like," She said wistfully, "He's smart, charming, sweet, and handsome. He's got those big blue eyes that can stare right into your soul, when he looks at me; It sends shivers down my spine. He's..."
"Stop, that's enough." Nick interrupted.
Catherine was all smiles, "Girl you don't like him, you love him."
Sara stared out the window, "I know."
