Chapter One: Grissom talks in his Sleep

Disclaimer: This is my imagination. I do not own CSI or any of its characters.

A/N: This story is rated mature due to its subject matter as chapters go on. Reader discretion advised, some of these chapters deal with intense smut. (well in my opinion any way – especially the chapter entitled "Fantasies" )

Gil Grissom, supervisor of the Graveyard shift of CSI sat in his office massaging his temples. Another migraine was affecting him. He had quite a few bothersome cases lately but that usually didn't cause migraines and this time the migraine was worse. He closed the office door and turned off the lights.

"Maybe I will just catch a little catnap," he thought to himself aloud.

From outside the office he could hear the chatter; Catherine was discussing her daughter Lindsey's ballet recital with Greg. Warrick and Nick were going over a case they had just finished. Sara was the only one unaccounted for.

Maybe that is the reason for these migraines! My feelings for Sara and how terrified I am to express them to her. He thought.

"What are you afraid of?" A soft voice said out of the darkness.

"Sara, is that you?" he blinked, unable to see her and wondering exactly just how much of his self-talk she heard"

"Tell me how you feel about me Gil, "she said using his given name, but not coming into view.

Luckily for him, the room was still dark and she hadn't turned on the light. He blushed and said "I'm not used to these pressing and direct questions.

"My question embarrasses you Gris?" she said with a smile in her voice.

"Yes, you are so direct."

There was a pause where neither of them said a word.

Gil Grissom took a deep breath and looked at the voice in the darkness. "Sara Sidle, I love you"

Suddenly the light in his office turned on and his eyelids fluttered and opened. He saw his team staring at him, their mouths agape. Apparently, he had been talking in his sleep.

"We're ready for our assignments," Catherine said speaking on behalf of the team.

"H-How long have you been standing in my office" he said after looking from each of the team members standing in the office.

"Long enough Gris, long enough" Sara answered and gave him a wink and a smile.

Grissom sighed and thought to himself. Next time I will lock my door.
