Summary: Greg's bored. He decides to entertain himself by stirring up the truth about the geek love. Grissom/Sara. Please R&R. (I'm a newbie can't summaries or title for that matter so just read it.) It's a WIP and I'll try to finish it soon.
Note: This is my first fic so be gentle please. Constructive critism is always wanted to improve.
Disclaimer: I don't own CSI, unfortunately, so don't sue. (It's not like I have any money for you anyway.)
Thought inspiring events
Greg was sat spinning on his chair in the lab, when Nick ventured in and interrupted him.
"Hey. What are you doin'?" Nick asked.
"Thinking" This was all the reply he received.
"Isn't that a bit dangerous for you Greggo?" he mocked.
"Very funny. You won't think so when my plans are revealed."
"Oh really. I just know I'm gonna regret askin' this, but what exactly are your plans?" Nick must've known it was a slow night, so it couldn't hurt to humour the lab rat for a while.
"All in good time man." Greg answered with a smile. Then after a second he said. "Do you think I have any chance with Sara?"Nick laughed at the hopeful lab boy. "In your dreams. Besides we all know who she likes."
Greg looked shocked because he prided himself on his ability to keep up with lab gossip. Suddenly he stopped his steady spinning of his chair, sat still and became very curious. He demanded. "Who?"
"Calm down man, you should've seen your face." He said trying to suppress his laughter. "Come on man you've gotta have seen them around the lab?"
Greg just repeated his earlier statement and sat straight in his chair. "Who?"
Nick just stated very calmly "Grissom." He wanted to prolong his torment of the lab rat, but decided it might not be advisable.
Greg leaned back at this shocking statement and nearly fell off the back of his chair.
Nick couldn't hold his laughter in any longer and burst into hysterics at Greg's reaction.
"What?" This was as all the vocabulary Greg could find.
"Yeah they used to flirt all the time, now they avoid each other and stare at each other when they don't think any one is looking. You're obviously not as in on the gossip as you think." Nick said to an outraged Greg.
Greg was opening his mouth in attempt to form some kind of reply to this foreign information, when Catherine entered. Unlike Nick she had a purpose for being there.
"Hey sorry to interrupt, but not everyone's got the night to lounge around." She said giving Nick a look. "Greg have you got my DNA results from the blood on the knife found at my murder and suicide, should be as straight forward as it seems. The scene didn't indicate anything but and the prints on the knife are his, the angle he stabbed himself was right, all I need to wrap this baby up is your analysis." She said very quickly.
Greg still recovering from his state of shock said "Yeah, here you go and it is as straight forward as that, the only blood recovered from the knife was the wife's and the husband's."
Catherine took the results and skimmed the paper through and smiled. Then turning her attention back to Greg. "What no witty presentation or annoying comment?" She paused and stared at him a moment. "Are you ill Greg?"
Nick chortled at this and Greg just stared.
"What's with him?" Catherine addressed Nick, as she was getting nothing from the astonished Greg. "Not that I mind him actually doing his job without attitude, but this is just weird." She looked again at Greg who appeared in a trance.
"Well Greg is just weird anyway." Nick commented. "Cath you've gotta have noticed the thing between Griss and Sara haven't you?"
"Oh is that what caused lover boy over here the astoundment, yeah I and almost every other person in the lab. It's a known fact that is never talked about." She said with a smile.
All Greg could mange was "But..." He knew that if the queen of gossip herself knew it then almost everyone in the lab would know. He was obviously upset that he was the last to know and that he had no chance with Sara (although truthfully he probably already knew that).
"Oh come on man, you'll get over her and besides you've gotta have known that you didn't have much of a shot with her, don't look so shocked." Nick half comforted and half mocked the poor, speechless little Greg.
At this Greg composed himself and stared at the two with some disbelief but found the words to say "So, what is it like some kind of memo that is going round and I didn't get it." then he paused in thought again. "Is it that obvious that they like each other?"
To put and end to the poor boy's ranting Catherine injected. "Well to everyone but them I guess it is."
"They both seem to deny it to everyone, even themselves." Nick agreed.
"Oh." Greg added.
"Yeah I mean there is no way on earth to get them to admit to it, shame really they could be quite happy I guess if they gave it a go." The blonde female sighed in disappointment.
"Yeah." Nick agreed again.
Greg's expression changed into a knowing smile, he rubbed his hands together and said. "There are always ways." He resumed spinning his chair.
Nick muttered to Catherine. "Oh well, he's doing that thinking thing again, we had better go." With this he rolled his eyes.
"Isn't that a bit dangerous for him." Catherine said to Nick on their way out.
"I know, that's what I said."
They both laughed as they looked back at the lab rat, who was spinning on his chair consumed in some form of deep thought.
