Author's Notes: Thanks to the graveshiftCSI group. This is actually the first fanfic I started writing, the second to be posted and still not complete so I don't know when the next chapter will be out. Oh, and this hasn't been betaed, so any mistakes are mine.
Spoilers: nothing really

"Hey Warrick! Wait up a second." Catherine yelled down the hall as she quickly made her way to the waiting CSI. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure, what's up?"
"Not here. Let's go outside."
"Okay," Warrick agreed, not really understanding what the need for privacy was. He followed Catherine into the parking lot and leaned against his car when she stopped next to it. "Well now that you have me alone, care to tell me what this is about?"
"I was wondering if you could do me a favor?"
"Sure, what do you need."
"Well. remember when Grissom gave you shift a few months ago? I was wondering if you would mind taking shift again?" Catherine was a bit nervous asking Warrick this, not really sure what his response would be.
"What? Cath what are you talking about?" He wasn't entirely sure why Cath would ask him to take shift.
"I know, just let me explain. I um.. well you know Grissom's birthday is coming up right? And he never let's us have a party or anything for him. So I was thinking maybe I would take him to dinner."
"And you want me to take shift that night so he doesn't have an excuse not to go." Warrick finished for her, understanding where she was going now.
"That's the idea, yeah."
"No problem. Just make sure Gris has a good time." Warrick stops when he sees the look of embarrassment on Catherine's face.
They make eye contact and Catherine quickly looks down trying to hide the embarrassment on her face.
"Hey Cath?"
Catherine looks up from the ground and stares into Warrick's eyes waiting for him to continue.
"What's the story with the two of you anyway?"
"What?" The embarrassment quickly changes to shock at Warrick's question. There had never really been anything between them, even if Catherine had wished there was.
"Come one Cath. I'm not blind. I've worked with the two of you for a long time now. I've seen him stare at you when you're not looking, and I've seen you do the same thing. So what's the story with the two of you?"
"Warrick, we're just friends."
"Yeah but by who's choice?" Warrick looked at Cath and knew what she wanted. "Tell him Cath. He wants you too, he just doesn't want to admit that he needs anyone."
"I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who isn't ready. I already had that with Eddie and look how that turned out."
"Grissom isn't Eddie. He isn't going to hurt you Cath."
"Physically, no. but what about emotionally? The bruises on the outside heel a lot faster then the ones on the inside. I'm fine with our relationship the way it is Warrick. Thanks for agreeing to take shift that night."
Catherine turned and walked back into the building leaving Warrick to contemplate their conversation.
