A/N: Remember how I said that I didn't like to write drabbles? I was so wrong about that. I'm going to make this a collection of connected drabbles, all 100 words or less and all relating to the "nicknames" theme. Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
I don't own CSI.
Gil
He had always had a nickname.
Gil. Griss. Bug Man.
He appreciated all of them. He had never liked his full name.
Then, she began to call him by his full name.
She always used it playfully.
When she answered the phone: "Hello, Gilbert."
When he solved a crossword before her: "Well, Gilbert, you are the smart one."
When he tickled her: "Gilbert! Stop!"
And, suddenly, his full name became okay. Because Sara was using it in the sweetest way possible.
Even if she wasn't saying the actual words, she was using it to tell him that she loved him.
