A GSR fan fiction: SUPPORT.
Summary: Grissom has to do an ear-operation and he is afraid, and the whole team is there to support him. Grissom is the main character.
The story starts from Grissom's point of view and it changes to Sara's while Grissom is in surgery.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, I wish I did… But until I do I must agree with the sometimesterrible GSR scenes...
Start: Grissom is at his house, alone. He is thinking about Sara, the ear operation, and Sara, as always. Sara is worried about him and came to look for him.
'Grissom?' Sara came barging in, looking for me. I was glad to hear her voice, even though my mood wasn't good. But I didn't have the energy to answer.
'Hey, honey, why didn't you answer?' Sara said as she entered my room, and found me on the bed.
'I'm tired.' I said. Stupid.
'Right.' she said, looking at me. 'Now tell me the real problem.'
That is exactly the thing I like about Sara. She knows how to look through people, including myself. Maybe especially myself.
'I don't know…' I said. I didn't look at her. I felt her sitting down beside me.
'You can tell me.' she said, looking at me, and I suddenly heard a little disappointment in her voice. That did hurt me more than anything, so I looked at her. But her face wasn't mad, nor disappointed or hurt. She looked at me with that special Sara-look, and I just couldn't deny it to her or myself anymore.
'I need to take an ear-operation. In a few weeks.' It was spilled out before I could change my mind, and I was terribly glad I could empty my heart to someone. I readied myself for whatever would come, but I didn't aspect this.
'Is that it.' she said calmly, and she took my face in her hands. 'Is that where you were worrying about?' she had to laugh, and through all my worries I had to laugh a little as well. I felt relieved, that I'd finally told someone, and in a reflex I kissed her.
'Why did you do that?' she grinned, while kissing me again.
'Because I love you.' I said, and I kissed her again before laying down on her chest. 'You have no idea how much it means to me that you're here.'
'I think I do.' she said, and she brushed her hands over my head and neck, causing shivers to run over my back.
'So, what was the big deal about the operation? You thought I'd be broken after I heard the word operation, without even listening to the rest?'
Au. That hurts. That was kind of exactly what I was thinking.
'Eh…'
'So it was what you were thinking! God, don't you ever change?' she said sarcastically.
'I'm sorry.' I said. I'm sorry. I'm sorry! God, don't I ever change?
'It's ok.' she smiled. 'But what was all the trouble about the operation?'
I am not going to tell her I'm afraid. I am not. Whatever happens, I will not tell her.
'Are you scared to be alone?' Damn. How does she do that? She reads my mind, there's no other explanation.
'Eh…'
'Hey, if that's it, you don't have to worry about that. We will all be there for you. I will be there for you, from the moment you walk into the hospital 'till the moment you walk out.'
I looked at her. She looked back at me with those sweet eyes, and I could no longer resist. I leaned on her and she hugged me. She really gave me the strength to do what I had to do.
We sat there for what seemed hours, but what were actually minutes, when I finally let go of her. With a voice, stronger than I'd thought, I said:
'I'll do it.' That was all. But it was enough. She clasped my hand, and we sat there, for the rest of the evening.
Don't worry, the next chapters will be longer. This was just the start. Please R&R!
