A/N: Sometimes you just need an OTP, you know?

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck

Chuck was still waiting on his check. He thought he was having a blind date tonight, but he found himself alone. As he sat there, he couldn't help notice how the woman at the table beside him looked absolutely bored out of her gord as her date rambled on and on.

He noticed when the guy paused she leaned forward. "You know, when I find myself attracted to someone I get nervous and begin to speak in French," she told him.

The date got a sly smile on his face, and leaned in. "Oh, really?" he asked, sounding beyond confident.

"Yes, yes I do," she said, sitting back. Chuck tried to stop the snort. It sounded like a slight choking sound. Then another hit him, and another. The man threw down his napkin in disgust and walked off, as Chuck laughed his head off. The man's date, a stunning blond woman, turned to him, amusement on her face. "I am sorry," he managed to get out. "I wasn't trying to overhear but that was hilarious."

"You like that, huh?" she asked, chuckling at him. Chuck nodded. "Sarah Walker," she said holding out her hand.

"Chuck Bartowski," Chuck replied. "So, was that a line, or is it true about the French thing, because either way it was freaking hilarious."

"Oui," she replied, grinning.

Chuck began to laugh again. The waitress brought him the bill, and he left a twenty on the table. "That was great. You have made my night, Sarah Walker. Thank you!"

"De rien," she replied, making Chuck laugh even harder. He laughed as he walked out the door. "Am I being punked?" she asked softly. "Is this my punishment for what I did to my date?"

"Honey, he's an idiot," Lou told her, walking over to the table with her bill. "Sweetest guy in the world, but an absolute idiot when it comes to the fairer sex." With that, she exaggeratedly flipped her hair, making Sarah laugh.

"So you know, Chuck?" Lou nodded. "So, think you can tell me where to find him again?" Lou grinned at her conspiratorially.

The next day found him at his local comic book shop getting his holds for the week. "Skip, did you get me the Justice League Dark annual?" Skip nodded. "Why did you put Shazam in here?"

"Not a fan of the man with Solomon's wisdom, Hercules' strength, Atlas' stamina, Zeus' power, Achilles' courage, and Mercury's speed?" Sarah said, walking up to the counter.

Chuck let out a low whistle, impressed. "Sarah Walker was it?"

"It is," she said.

"What are the odds of meeting you here?"

"I suspect very low," she told him pointedly. He grinned at her.

"Skip, would you help Miss Sarah Walker out?" Chuck said to Skip.

"I am looking for a good aBman story for my sister, but not something that's so well known she's probably already read it," Sarah said. Skip looked at Chuck.

"Long Halloween, Dark Victory, and Catwoman When in Rome," Chuck blurted out. He shook his head. "Sorry, I just love those stories and they all take place right after Batman Year One."

"I see," Sarah said to Chuck. "Where can I find those?"

"Skip will grab them for you, won't you Skip?" Skip nodded and ran off.

"Well, I must be going," Chuck said to Sarah. "Say, are there any other languages you speak when excited?"

"HIja'." Sarah replied, smiling.

"Oh my God! You know Vulcan! You are too cool Sarah Walker! It was a pleasure to see you again." And with that, he nodded to her and left.

"You have got to be kidding me," she muttered.

"I see you are besotted with the tall drink of water that is Chuck Bartowski," she heard a male voice say to her. She turned slowly and saw a man with crazy hair that worried her a little.

"Jeff Barnes, owner of this fine establishment," Jeff told her. "Lou told me you might be coming by." Jeff was silent for a moment. "I bet I know where you can find him." Sarah glanced at the door and then back to Jeff. "Trust me, he's an idiot, but he's worth it."

"Are you…in love with him or something?"

"What, no!" Jeff replied. "Can one man just appreciate how fine another man is?" Sarah shrugged. "You in?" She pursed her lips together and nodded.

The next morning she entered the coffee shop and noticed him, at the counter, ordering a coffee and a chocolate croissant. She grinned, and went up behind him, waiting to order. After he finished, he turned, and walked over to a table, not noticing her. She saw that there were no more croissants and wandered over to his table, looking glum.

"Sarah Walker?" Chuck said, seeing her. She waved at him. "Have a seat, please." She sat down. "Fancy meeting you here, what are the odds three days in a row?"

"No idea," Sarah said. "I doubt there's a number for it."

"What has you so upset?"

"It's nothing," she said, shaking her head. He cocked his head to the side and gave her a look. "Fine, I wanted a chocolate croissant."

"And I bought the last one, huh?" Sarah nodded. "So you want the last one?" Sarah nodded again. "Do you want the last one?"

"Yes!" she said.

"Will you go on a date with me?" Chuck asked.

"Yes!" she replied, and then blinked. "Wait, what?"

"And this time will you actually go on the date with me, and not let someone else take my place?" Sarah's mouth dropped. "See, when your friend set us up, I made sure she didn't tell you my name because…well…Chuck." Sarah giggled. "And then I saw who had snagged you…" he shrugged.

"You know him?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah, Daniel Shaw, he works with Carina and I," Chuck told her. "Also Lou watched the whole thing go down, and gave me a heads up."

"So you knew I was coming to the comic book shop?" Chuck snorted and laughed. Her mouth dropped. "Why did you do that?"

"Because I was a little butt hurt and did something really stupid," Chuck replied with a shrug. "I wanted someone to be interested in me, but I didn't expect you to be so damn funny."

"People have told me I have no sense of humor," Sarah told him.

Chuck leaned forward. "Then those people are idiots. I'm sorry, will you go out with me?"

"Do I get you chocolate croissant?" Sarah asked. Chuck nodded. "Yes." She was silent a second. "I would have gone out with you even if you didn't let me have the chocolate croissant." Chuck grinned and snorted. "What?"

"It's just something Carina said about Daniel once, but it's not nice at all," Chuck told her.

"Is he the one they call 2 x 4?" Chuck nodded and Sarah started laughing. "She told me that she was told that was being very generous." Chuck snorted. "Not that, that matters." She shook her head. "I mean, let's be honest, I did kinda pay for thinking he was you, the date was awful."

"I'm not gonna lie, was laughing so hard at you, and the French thing," Chuck told her.

"Je t'aime bien, Chuck," she said with a grin on her face.

"I have to learn French," Chuck blurted out.

"I can do that, I can be your personal French teacher," she told him. She reached over and took his hand, but had to let go as the chocolate croissant and coffee were put down in front of them. Chuck pushed the croissant over to her.

"I think I'm going to enjoy this date," Chuck said with a grin.

"Moi aussi," Sarah replied.

A/N: Ah, that was kinda fun.
