Summary: One Shot… GSR… Grissom finally feels warm.

The minute Gil Grissom opened the door to his town house he felt it. The usual sterile feel of his home was taken over by a feeling of warmth. He smiled to himself as he dropped his keys onto the side table and slipped out of his Forensics windbreaker.

He padded into his bedroom, and was greeted with the lovely sight of Sara Sidle snuggled up in his bed. HIS bed! She was tucked under his dark blue sheets, her hair spread out all along her pillow. In her arms she hugged the pillow from Grissom's side of the bed.

This practice was not unusual for the 5 months they have been dating. Whenever Sara has her day off, and Grissom was still working, he would invite her to sleep at his house so he would have someone to come home to.

Grissom would always arrive home to the same scene; Sara sleeping in his bed with her arms grasped tightly around his pillow. He asked her once why she did it; Sara blushed and replied "Your pillow smells like you, and I sleep better with something to hold to my heart".

"You'll always have me from now on" Grissom had replied as he planted a soft kiss in her hair.

Grissom stripped out of his shirt and pants and made his way over to the bed. Carefully, so he would not wake Sara, he slipped into bed and tried to wriggle the pillow out of her tight grasp.

Sara moaned in her sleep and hugged the pillow closer to her body. Grissom chuckled at the possessive look that crossed her features as she refused to let go of the soft pillow. He kissed her softly on the cheek and quietly whispered into her ear "You can let go of the pillow now honey. I'm home".

Sara smiled in a half awake state and relinquished her grip on the pillow. Grissom took it from her and placed it under his own head. He took off his glasses and placed them on the nightstand, and finally relaxed on the bed.

Sara snuggled up right next to him. She had her head resting on his chest and an arm resting on his stomach. Grissom pulled Sara in closer to him as he closed his eyes thinking how perfect this moment is.

He heard Sara mumble "Love you Gil".

He replied back "I love you too Honey" as he dropped a kiss on the top of her head.

Scratch that. This is the perfect moment.
