Disclaimer: I don't own csi

Summary: A new man around csi has made Grissom realize how much he loves Sara, but he wonders if it's to late while he's standing as the best man of her wedding.

Part 1: Devin

Grissom walked down the halls of csi introducing the newest member of his team. Devin was 26 years old, athletic built, with jet black hair, and a smooth voice.

" So Devin where did you transfer from?"

Devin smiled at Catherine's question. " I transferred from San Fransisco."

Grissom could tell she was standing behind him, he always knew.

He turned around to see her smiling, but she didn't seem to be smiling at him.

Following her gaze he realized that she was smiling a Devin.

" Devin is that you!" Devin didn't even move to see who was talking to him, instead he smiled and said," Sara I swear if that's you I will hurt you girl."

She giggled and ran and hugged him. " Baby what are you doing here?" He smiled and placed his hand on her cheek. " I transferred here, I'm working graveyard shift."

Grissom was gritting his teeth so hard that he thought they might chip. Catherine noticed and then saw that he was breaking his pencil by gripping it so tight. At first she didn't realize what was wrong until she realized that he was sending the death stare at Devin.

" Um..Grissom can I speak with you in your office really quick?" He didn't move.

" Grissom?" He jumped and then answered, " Yeah..sure."

Catherine followed him into his office and shut the door.

" Grissom your gonna have to be careful ok?" He raised his eyebrow and said," I don't know what your talking about." She smirked. " Look I know that your pissed off about this guy all over Sara, but look she really doesn't seem like she minds too bad."

" Just think before you act, and try to stay away from them ok?" He nodded and hung his head as he realized that this was possibly it. It did appear that Sara had a thing for Devin.

Catherine left when she realized that he was about to cry. She knew that she couldn't handle seeing him breakdown that way. When he heard the door close he finally let it out, his silent tears fell, he didn't even bother to wipe them. He didn't care.

One Month Later

Grissom walked in and saw Sara walking towards Catherine and when he saw Catherine's expression he knew something was up.

Devin and Sara had been friends in college, and for the past month they had been dating. She didn't talk to him anymore, and Devin wouldn't leave him alone.

Catherine saw Grissom standing in the doorway of his office with a confused expression and knew that she would have to be the new bearer.

" Grissom you look confused what's up?" " What was that look everyones giving Sara?"

Catherine sighed and said," You need to sit down and I'll tell you."

He gave her the eyebrow and slowly walked into his office.

" What's up Catherine?" " Gil you should be happy for her, for them ok?"

His heart seemed to beat faster and faster and he held his breath.

" Sara and Devin are getting married."

Catherine thought that he would react badly but she didn't expect him to pass out.

She tried to wake him up, and she couldn't.

Running to the door she quickly saw Nick and yelled," Nick help!"

He gave her an awkward look. " What do you need help with?"

" Grissom passed out, I can't lift him up!" Nick ran into Grissom's office and lifted him up and onto his couch. " Catherine go get some water ok?" She nodded and left.

Nick heard Grissom moan and let out a breath. " Grissom wake up!"

He opened his eye's and said," This can't be happening."

" What can't be happening?" " She can't marry him, she's supposed to marry me and forgive me, and we'll have k...

Catherine quickly stopped him. " Grissom here drink this."

Grissom had just gotten back to his self when Devin walked in smiling.

" Grissom I have a really important question for you."

Gil felt like charging Devin and choking him, but he didn't.

" What?" " Well as you know Sara and I are getting married."

Grissom winced a bit hearing that. " Yeah, so what's your question?"

" Will you be my best man?" " I feel like I've gotten to know you over just the small amount of time that we've known each other and I know that Sara thinks very highly of you, and I know you've helped her out a lot."

Grissom sat there thinking. " You know what, If it means that much to you then yes."

Devin smiled and thanked him while Grissom was thinking, ' What am I going to do? It will kill me to see her marry anyone but me.'

He sank into his chair and then heard a knock on his door. He looked up to see Sara smiling at him.

" Sara what do you need?" She slowly walked in and shut the door.

" Grissom I wanted to know what you think about this whole best man thing?"

He didn't even look at her. " I hate it, but I can tell that it means a lot to him so I'm going to do it."

She would never admit it but she had started thinking about what it would be like to come into work and tell everyone that her and Grissom were getting married.

She loved Devin, but she would never love anyone as much as she loved Grissom.

" Look Grissom would you like to go get something to drink after work?"

He looked up and said," Sure."

He knew that nothing would be able to happen now between them, but he just wanted to be near her.

She knew it was risky, but she really just wanted to be with him away from work, and away from Devin.
