Nick and Sara started to go on dates regularly, which they both enjoyed, and Sara was happy when she was made the maid of honor in Lydia's wedding, mostly that was because she and Nick didn't want to be separated.
The only kink in their relationship was the fact that they were on different shifts, not that the two hour difference in the beginning times of their shifts made too much of a difference. They managed to have double dates quite often with different friends, sometimes Grissom and Catherine, other times Greg and Lydia, and other times with Warrick and Roxie, who had just moved to the area. The dates they enjoyed the most though were their one on one dates.
They came to know the likes and dislikes of one another, as well as all their little quirks and habits. They were falling in love quickly, and they didn't much care that it may have been too quickly because they were too in love to let it bother them. Sara was over Grissom by a long shot, and she was starting to be friends with him instead of being infatuated with him.
After they had dated for about five months they started to think about moving in together, but both of them were afraid to ask. They were having lunch at her place when he finally asked her about it.
"Sara, I've been thinking about something for awhile and I was wondering what you think."
"What is it Nicky?"
"Would you ever want to move in with me, it doesn't…"
"Yes, I would," she cut him off.
"You, you would, wow, I wasn't really expecting that response.
"What did you think that I would not want to live with the man I'm in love with? I was wondering if you'd ever ask."
"You were?"
"Yeah."
"Well, when would you want to?"
"It's up to you, but shouldn't we think about where to live first."
"That's up to you."
"Fine, your house, it's bigger."
"Ok. How does two weeks sound."
"Good, that gives me time to say I'm moving and to move."
"Great!"
"Don't sound too excited tiger, it's not that big a deal."
He was about to say something when she kissed him to silence him. He didn't mind being kissed to stop talking, and he kissed her back long and hard. She ran her hands through his hair and down his back, there was only one place to go with that much passion, and at the same time they said, "Bedroom." So they went there, making sure not to knock anything over, and they passionately made love.
TBC…
For clarification Lydia is Grissom and Catherine's daughter, she doesn't call him dad because she found it out when she was 23, she calls Cath mom. Roxie is Lydia's college roommate, and she is dating Warrick, she is also Ellie Brass's roommate in LA for a time, and Ellie is now a good girl. (Warrick and Roxie's story is in the fic Forever) I'm going to be on hiatus for awhile, so don't worry, it will be updated eventually!
