Summary: It's been seven months since Nick was kidnapped and rescued. Everything had changed. GSR, I swear. Each chap is a different character's POV.

GREG

Greg Sanders wasn't an idiot. He knew that the other members of the team considered him the "class clown" of the lab, but he definitely was not an idiot. Nor was he oblivious to the things happening around him.

Gil Grissom did not hum. In the eight years Greg had worked in the Las Vegas Crime Lab, he had never heard Grissom humming. Ever. He had barely seen the man smile, he'd never seen him laugh- really laugh- at anything, hell, Grissom hardly ever smiled anymore. And now he was humming? Something had changed.

Greg moved quietly down the hall. Grissom's office door was cracked open and the light was on inside. He moved with purpose, giving a small wave to Judy as she passed, and he slowed as he reached the cracked door.

"… Honey, it's me," Greg heard Grissom say, "Right, well I think we might have a problem."

Greg smiled. Damn straight you've got a problem, he thought.

"Greg may have a clue that something is different," Grissom continued, "With me at least."

Greg listened a moment longer at the door before he knocked, startling Grissom.

"We'll continue this conversation later," he said quickly, slamming the phone down and staring up at Greg, "Yes Greg."

Greg froze for a moment, suddenly losing his nerve, before closing the door behind him and taking a seat across from Grissom.

"So I know that everyone here sort of regards me as the 'king of practical jokes' and that you all think I don't know what the hell is going on," Greg rambled, "But I'm more intuitive than you think."

Grissom's eyebrow went up but he didn't speak and Greg continued.

"I know that something is going on with you and Sara, and I'm not going to say anything to anyone, so don't look at me like that," he said at Grissom's glare, "I just thought that I'd let you know that I know so that you know. Did that make any sense?"

Grissom didn't say anything for a moment and Greg was suddenly worried that maybe he shouldn't have said anything at all. And then Grissom did something that Greg hadn't been expecting. He smiled.

Gil Grissom sat across from Greg Sanders, smiling and shaking his head.

"Greg, no one thinks you are an idiot," Grissom told him, "I especially do not think that you are an idiot. And I'm glad that you came and spoke to me without speaking to everyone else on the team first.

Greg nodded, "So… is there something going on?"

Grissom sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Greg, I can't really give you any of the details, but I will do you the favor of telling you that, yes, there is something happening between Sara and myself and I'm asking you to keep it to yourself, because I would like for the two of us to tell the others. Do you think you can do that for me?"

"For you, boss? Anything."
