When nothing else was said, Tony finally prompted, "Then what happened?"

Gibbs shrugged. "A couple years later, Shan and I were reading the Sunday newspaper when she suddenly saw this wedding announcement." He pointed at the newspaper clipping in Tony's hand. "Same nervous kid from the airport. Chances are his wife is the Stacy he was asking to go to the prom with him."

Tony looked at the earnest face of the young man, the way he wore the dress blues with quiet dignity and pride. "You must've made quite an impression him," he finally said. "He enlisted."

Gibbs shrugged. "Dunno if it was because of me." He grinned. "Marines got brass balls. He ain't skeered of anything, not even being turned down by the lady he loves." Gibbs reached out and squeezed Tony's knee. "It's the little things that matter in a relationship, but sometimes, the grand gestures make all the difference." He smiled, then pushed himself up and walked back to the boxes full of clothing.

Tony watched his lover calmly digging through what had remained of his life with Shannon and Kelly, watched how Gibbs decided that most of the things were to be given away, watched how Gibbs only picked a handful of keepsakes to stay with him. And he realized that helping Gibbs dig through all this stuff was only a little thing in the great scheme of things. But having Gibbs agree to finally let go of all these things, that was a truly grand gesture.

And Tony couldn't possibly love Gibbs more for it.
