Hehe. I like the mention of Diane.

[karaokegal]

Thanks! I think that Diane is always going to be an aspect of Gibbs/Fornell, it's almost a perverse OT3, especially after Devil's triangle.

[proseac1]

Never apologize...

[karaokegal]

I thought about that, but decided in this situation a bit of courtesy would be acceptable.

[jagfanlj]

Gibbs told Ducky there's an exception for apologies between friends. I think this counts. :P

[proseac1]

Friends with benefits? Hee! :D

[damigella_314]

wasn't in a position to see him smile
Took me two readings to get that.

[karaokegal]

I always had that image in mind for this drabble.

*busts out laughing* <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[karaokegal]

YAY! Thanks for the prompt. I ran it by all my Torchwood pairings and decided it was more appropriate here.

[jagfanlj]

I'm so glad you did!
Gibbs/Fornell is one of my favorite pairings. They are so unexpected together -- until you hear them squabbling like an old married couple.

[karaokegal]

And what's interesting is they practically have that dynamic back in Yankee White when they're supposed to not know each other. (Helllooooo RETCON!) I think it's just a chemistry thing between Harmon and Spano. I get the feeling they've been friends a long time. There's a least one Youtube clip from "Reasonable Doubts" where Joe did a guest shot and they're really good together.

*snerks* I love this :)

[karaokegal]

Thanks! If there's a pairing I can see having realistically not always perfect sex, it would be Gibbs/Fornell.

I adore bungled/imperfect sex so, so much, and these two would totally have it happen more than once.
