Title: And to All a Good Night
Rating: PG
Pairing/Character: DiNozzo/McGee
Summary: Twas the night before christmas and McGee has writer's block
Warnings/Spoilers: None
A/N: I was on my own in the office for four hours on Christmas eve. What better time to experiment with dialogue-only fic?
"Why are you sitting there staring at a blank document?"
"I'm thinking."
"Not doing a great job of it."
"Tony, would you just go back to watching Miracle on 34th Street?"
"That finished. It's Die Hard now."
"Die Hard?"
"What? It's a Christmas movie! Don't roll your eyes at me, it is!"
"Just lay off the German accents, yeah?"
"You're not writing again, are you?"
"Not right now I'm not."
"Because I think you should warn Abby to reinforce her coffin."
"It's not a Deep Six story. It's not fiction at all."
"So what is it?"
"It's a proposal."
"Some new business venture?"
"You could say that. It's going to be a presentation but I just need to get my thoughts in order before I try it."
"Can I help?"
"Not really."
"C'mon, McSecret-Squirrel, let me help."
"Okay, well let me run what I've got-"
"Which is nothing."
"-past you. I could bore you with a long speech about my past, about how my present has been changed and about how I see my future."
"Ego-centric, much, Probie?"
"But the crux of this can be summed up briefly."
"Yes, cut to the point before your audience falls asleep. "
"Anthony DiNozzo, will you marry me?"
"..."
"Okay, I was hoping for a little more than stunned silence."
"Once more, with feeling."
"You're an asshole."
"Got me a ring?"
"I hate you."
"Yes."
"Yes what?"
"Yes you do and yes I will."
"What have I gotten myself into?"
"No idea; want to find out?"
"Merry Christmas, Tony."
"Merry Christmas, future Mr DiNozzo."
