fanfic100DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters, nor am I making any money from them. I merely borrow them from time to time.
I watch them together and I know.
I know I should never have returned to NCIS.
I thought I had a chance. But I was wrong.
Was wrong to think I could win him back.
I could destroy them.
Destroy them? Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Dr. Donald ‘call me Ducky’ Mallard? That’s a joke. No one could.
Not a wife. Not another lover. Not me.
Not me who tried to frame him for the murder I committed.
He suspected.
He suspected and he said nothing.
But I knew it was the end.
The end of our relationship.
Who am I kidding? We didn’t have a relationship.
A relationship is what he has with Ducky.
We fucked.
We fucked and it was good. As good as it gets.
But it was just sex.
Just sex. Nothing more.
There was no love.
No love between us. But plenty between him and Ducky.
I didn’t think he was capable of loving.
Of loving anyone. But he is.
He loves Ducky.
Loves Ducky with the kind of love that knows no barriers. The kind that can never die.
I watch them together and I know.
I know I should never have returned to NCIS.
