A/N This was quickly written and is just put out here for a little more N/S fluff. It is nothing special. I was listening to the song and decided, what the hell, I'll write this in-between doing stuff that actually needs to be done. I know I have another story that isn't finished but I have writer's block and no free time. I will try to finish it soon. Now to end this ridiculously long author's note.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, not the characters and not the song, which is the Elephant Love Medley from Moulin Rouge.
A Silly Love Story
Shift had finally ended. Sara couldn't wait to get out of the lab and do something.
It didn't matter what she did, as long as it was interesting and fun. She practically ran to
her locker to get her things. Sara wasn't really paying much attention to where she was going and accidentally bumped into Nick.
"Umph." Sara practically bounced off of Nick's body.
"Nice to see you too, Sara." Nick just smiled and reached out his hand to help Sara up.
Sara looked a little embarrassed. "Sorry. I'm in a little bit of a rush."
"Why? Do you have a hot date with the love of your life?"
Sara just rolled her eyes. Nick took in her reaction and said, "What? Love is a many splendored thing. Love…love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love."
"Nick, don't start that again. And if you try to set me up with another one of your friends, I swear…"
"Well it's true you know. All you need is love."
"Love is just a game." Sara replied and then giving Nick a knowing glance. "And you should know considering the big player that you are."
"Ouch. That hurts." Nick feigned being shot in the heart and grabbed his chest with a pained expression on his face. "Lighten up a bit. If you don't have plans, why don't you come over to my place? We can have dinner or breakfast, whatever you want to call it, and watch a movie."
"I dunno."
"What else are you going to do?"
"Gee Nick. Your persuasive skills are amazing, you know that?"
"Well?"
"Sure. Why not?" Sara walked over to her locker, put in a few things and took out her jacket. She shut and locked the locker and turned towards Nick. "I'll be over in what? About an hour?"
Nick gave her his best Texan smile. "Great. See you then."
1 hour later
Exactly one hour later, Nick heard his doorbell ring. "Typical Sara." He thought. "Always on time." Nick walked over and smiled as he saw Sara standing there holding a bag filled with some groceries and a bag from Blockbusters.
"Hey. I figured that if your fridge was anything like mine, we would need something that was edible to cook, and I also got a movie. No offense, but I don't think I can trust your taste in movies. You probably own a ton of westerns."
Nick took the bag of groceries from Sara and went into the kitchen. With a thick southern accent he said, "Why that is not true. Just because I may be proud of my Texan heritage does not mean I own everything cowboy."
Sara just cocked and eyebrow and pointed over towards Nick's entertainment center where a shelf was filled with old westerns.
A bit of color found its way to Nick's face. "Anyway." he said changing the topic. "What food did you get?"
"I got some eggs, flour, milk, chocolate chips, and some orange juice." Nick's face had lit up when Sara had taken the chocolate chips out of the bag.
"Nice! Chocolate chip pancakes it is! I haven't made them in a long time."
"They're my favorite." Nick and Sara said this at the same time and just looked at each other.
"Let's get crackin'"
After they had eaten breakfast, Nick settled down on the couch as Sara put the dvd into the dvd player. Nick couldn't help but to admire the view. Sara may not see it, but she was unbelievably good looking and attractive, not just physically attractive.
"Stop checking out my ass, Stokes."
"I wasn't. I was trying to see what movie you got."
"Sure, whatever you say."
"What did you rent anyway?"
Sara turned around with a smirk. "It's a surprise."
"Please tell me it's not a chick flick."
Sara plopped onto the couch next to Nick and pressed play on the remote. She turned towards him and just smiled her gap-toothed smile.
Nick groaned as the movie started and recognized what it was.
"Sara, I am not watching Moulin Rouge."
"Oh yes you are and I don't care how much you hate it. You owe me from the last time we all watched a movie and you chose. I had to sit through that stupid Monte Walsh movie."
"Hey! That was a good movie."
"There was only one good thing about that movie and that was Shorty and he died. Now shut up and watch the movie."
Nick frowned and turned his head towards the TV.
As the movie played, Nick kept stealing glances at Sara. She seemed to be absorbed by the movie. He never would have figured her to be the romantic comedy type, but it seemed he learned something new about her everyday.
Sara could feel Nick's eyes on her but tried to ignore it. She loved spending time with Nick. Over the years she felt her emotions towards him grow. They hit it off as friends right away and over the years Sara could sense her feelings for him change from feelings for a friend to something more. She would never act on it though because she knew she wasn't his type. Sara paused the movie and looked over at Nick who was still looking at her.
"Now, I know you know the words to this song and as much as you try to deny it and say you hate it, I know you secretly love it." Sara said as she looked Nick in the eyes. "So, what are we going to do? We are going to sing along."
"Why?"
"Because I'm bored and maybe it will make you stop staring at me?"
"I wasn't staring."
"Whatever you say, Cowboy. Come on." Sara jumped up and pulled Nick up with her. She tossed the TV remote to Nick and held the dvd remote up. "Microphones." She said as if it were that obvious.
"You're crazy, you know that right?"
'And damn proud. Come on."
Sara pressed play and the movie continued. Sara sang along with Satine and Nick sang along with Christian.
Christian / Nick
I was made for loving you baby
You were made for loving me
Sara did her best to restrain her laughter at Nick. He was way too into this. He was singing into the remote and acting it out with all that he had.
Satine / Sara
The only way of loving me baby
Is to pay a lovely fee
Nick was still impressed with Sara's voice. She could really sing and that little vixen act she was doing while singing this song was really getting to him.
Christian / Nick
Just one night
Give me just one night
Satine / Sara
There's no way
Cause you can't pay
Christian / Nick
In the name of love
One night in the name of love
Satine / Sara
You crazy fool
I won't give in to you
Sara turned and pretended to walk away. Nick, following her lead, went down on is knees and grabbed her arm to stop her.
Christian / Nick
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive without your sweet love
Oh baby don't leave me this way
Satine / Sara
You think that people would have enough of silly love songs
Christian / Nick
I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no
Satine / Sara
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
Christian / Nick
Well what's wrong with that
I'd like to know
Cause here I go again
Christian / Nick
Love lifts us up where we belong
Where the eagles fly
On a mountain high
Satine / Sara
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away
For one happy day
Nick was standing now and faced Sara. He looked into her eyes and hoped she would see that he wasn't just acting when he sang the words to this song.
Christian / Nick
We can be heroes
Just for one day
Satine / Sara
You, you will be mean
Christian / Nick
No I won't
Satine / Sara
And I, I'll drink all the time
Christian / Nick
We should be lovers
Satine / Sara
We can't do that
Christian / Nick
We should be lovers
And that's a fact
Satine / Sara
No nothing would keep us together
Christian / Nick
We could steal time
Christian / Nick & Satine / Sara
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Forever and ever
We can be heroes
Forever and ever
We can be heroes
Nick took a step closer to Sara so there was very little space between their bodies. The sensation of each other's bodies in such close proximity had a dizzying effect on the two of them.
Christian / Nick
Just because I, and I will always love you
Satine / Sara
I only can't help
Christian / Nick and Satine / Sara
Loving You
Satine / Sara
How wonderful life is now
Christian / Nick and Satine / Sara
You're in the world
Nick pressed the mute button and then dropped the control to the floor. He took the remote out of Sara's hand and tossed it onto the couch with out ever taking his eyes off of Sara's. Sara tried to search Nick's eyes to see if she could decipher what was there. She knew what she wanted to see and she couldn't be sure if it was really there.
All doubt was erased when Nick lowered his head and gently placed his lips on her lips. The kiss was soft and brief, but in that short moment, both had felt the electricity between them. It was like nothing either had ever experienced.
Nick pulled his head back and looked at Sara to see her reaction. He wanted to know if she felt it too. The look in her eyes told him everything he needed to know.
"Nick?" Sara whispered.
"Yea."
" I guess you were right."
Nick looked confused for a second.
Sara moved so her lips were a fraction of an inch away from Nick's.
"All you need is love."
Pure plot-less fluff but what do expect from a story written in about an hour. Hope that helps with the Snicker withdrawal. And when I get the chance I promise for those who care to read I will add to my other story.
