Summary: Tony saves Kelly; years later he meets her dad and falls in love with him.
Chapter Two
Gibbs was working on the boat in his basement when he heard Tony’s car pull into his driveway. He heard as Tony opened the door and walked through the living room into the kitchen. He only heard one set of footsteps which meant that Tony must be carrying Kelly. Smiling softly he couldn’t help but think how right that thought seemed.
Walking into Gibbs house Tony walked through the living room and into the kitchen where the door to the basement was located. As he passed the couch he slipped Kelly’s backpack down onto it, key to his apartment already inside.
Upon arriving at the kitchen he whispered into Kelly’s hair that it was time to wake up. He has a surprise for her. Setting her down on her feet he covers her eyes before guiding her into the landing at the top of the basement steps. Kneeling down with her he whispered “Surprise” in her ear as he pulled his hands away from her eyes and smiled at her reaction.
“DADDY!!!” Kelly yelled upon looking down and seeing Gibbs sanding the boat. She ran down the stairs as fast as she could without falling only to be scooped up into Gibbs arms once she reached the bottom.
Smiling slightly even while his heart constricted Tony slowly backed out of the basement before walking as swiftly and silently out of the house and to his car. He couldn’t break down here. Not yet at least. He just had to make it home and then he’d let himself break.
Meanwhile Gibbs looked up to where Tony had been standing to tell him thank you and ask him to stay, only to find that Tony was gone. Frowning slightly he set Kelly back down on her feet. Once she was standing she turned and looked up to the top of the stairs the words “Papà come on. Get down here” dying on her lips as she realized he wasn’t there.
“Papà! Where’d You Go?” Kelly asked while running up the stairs hoping to find him out of view.
Swearing softly Gibbs ran after Kelly when he heard Tony’s car start and the tire’s squeal as he tore out of his driveway. He could hear Kelly yelling “Papà!?!?!?! Wait!! Don’t leave Papà!!! Don’t go!!!”
“Papà!!!”
Reaching the front door Gibbs cursed again. The door stood wide open and Kelly was on her knees in the middle of the driveway silently crying and staring at the rapidly disappearing taillights of Tony’s car. Walking over to her he knelt down and picked her up, carrying her into the house while trying to soothe her.
Her sobbing litany of words was ripping his heart out. He may not be able to understand most of it but he could guess just by the tone that she was upset and wondering why Tony had left and he had no clue how to answer her. Hell, he wasn’t even sure he knew how to fix this.
Kelly’s constant litany of “Non andare, Papà, ritorna. Perchè mi lasci Papà? Mi dispiace Papà. Ti voglio bene Papà. Per favore...per favore...ritorna. Daddy why did Papà go? ” was tugging at Gibbs’ heartstrings. He didn’t know why Tony had left like he had but, as soon as he got Kelly calmed down enough that she would willingly let go of him he was going to call Abby and then go after Tony.
‘Damnit DiNozzo. I will kick your ass when I find you.’ He thought as he continued to murmur soothingly to Kelly.
“Shhh. Don’t worry. I’ve got you. Daddy’s got you. Don’t worry Papà will be back. I’ll get him back. It’s okay Kelly…Everything will be okay. You’ll see…” He continued on in that way for almost an hour before Kelly’s sobs started to turn into soft hiccoughing and eventually died away with only the occasional hiccough and tearful mumble of “Papà” being heard.
Once Kelly had fallen into a fitful sleep he walked over and gently placed her on the couch. Running his fingers softly through her hair he reached for his cell phone with the other hand.
Standing up he hit Speed Dial 2 and listened to the ringing. “You’ve reached DiNozzo, I am otherwi…”
Growling with a flip of his phone he disconnected.
“Damnit he knows not to be unreachable.” He grumbled lowly while hitting speed dial 5.
~ “Abbs.”
“Gibbs! What’s going on?”
~ “Abbs. I need a favor. Can you come over and keep an eye on Kelly?”
“Of Course! But, why are you calling me and not Tony? And what’s Tony’s daughter doing there anyway? Is there something you’re not telling me Gibbs?”
~ “Abbs! I’ll tell you later. Just…can you be here in an hour?”
“Yeah sure Bossman!!”
“Thanks Abbs.” He said before disconnecting and trying Tony's cell again.
This time it went straight to voicemail which could only mean Tony had turned his cell off.
'Probably thinks I'll trace it' Gibbs thought as he paced back and forth in the entry hall, one ear tuned to any noises from the living room.
He tried Tony’s cell again 20 minutes later with the same results. It went straight to voicemail.
He tried Tony’s cell a total of three more times before Abby showed up. All with the same results. Tony’s phone was still turned off and it would go straight to voicemail.
When Abby finally got there he kept her in the entrance hall for a moment quietly telling her that he would explain what was going on better later but he needed to go find Tony first.
“Abbs. Just please keep an eye on Kelly for me. I’d take her with me but I have no idea where Tony is or if he is even okay. I do know he is not thinking clearly and I don’t want her to see him like that.” Gibbs said quietly.
Nodding Abby agreed that it was better for Gibbs to go after Tony alone. There was no telling what Tony would be like when Gibbs did find him. She knew something was obviously going on but she would wait. She hated not knowing things but she also knew that if Tony had left Kelly here then her knowing would have her too worried to concentrate on keeping Kelly from worrying.
Walking into the Living room Gibbs kneels down by the couch and wakes Kelly to let her know that he’ll be back in a little bit. He’s going to go find her Papà and drag him back here even if he has to tie him up and throw him over his shoulder. It gets a small smile and a little laugh out of Kelly, which is what he was going for. It also gets a giggle from Abby at the mental image of Tony tied up and Gibbs carrying him over his shoulder.
He kisses Kelly on the cheek.
“I won’t be gone long. Be good for Abby sweetie. I Love You Kelly. Don’t worry I’ll bring your wayward Papà home and you can smother him with kisses when we get back.” Gibbs tells her as he gives her one more hug and another kiss on her cheek before turning to Abby.
“No painting her fingernails black Abbs.” He says while pulling a jacket on and grabbing his keys. Turning for the door he gives her a kiss on her cheek as he passes her and heads out the door. As he’s getting in his truck he pauses when Abby runs outside and hands him something.
Giving her a questioning look she quickly explains “It’s a key to Tony’s apartment. I think. It was in Kelly’s backpack. It fell out when I accidentally knocked it off the couch.”
“Thanks Abbs.” He says before kissing her cheek and getting back in his truck and leaving.
**Scene Switch --> Tony’s Apartment**
Tony had arrived home and gone straight to Kelly’s bedroom. He sat down on her bed for a moment before collapsing back and letting his emotions break free. Curling up on his side, back to the door, he grabbed Kelly’s favorite teddy bear and cried. He knew he needed to get up, type his resignation and pack but he didn’t want to. All he really wanted was to be able to hold his piccina in his arms again. Hear her laughter, see her smile.
He didn’t hear his front door open nor the footsteps as they searched through his apartment.
As Gibbs walked through the apartment he smiled softly at all of the photos of Tony and Kelly hanging on the walls. He walked down the hall looking for Tony. He found the younger man in what was obviously Kelly’s bedroom. Curled up on the bed and sobbing quietly.
“DiNozzo…Tony.” Gibbs said softly before saying “Tony” with a little more heat in his voice.
“Go ‘way Gibbs” was Tony’s muffled reply.
“Not goin’ anywhere without you Tony.” Was Gibbs reply.
Tony shot up off the bed and turned to Gibbs yelling “Get the fuck outta my house Gibbs! Get out you fucking Bastard!”
Poking Gibbs in the chest he began spewing obscenities at the older man.
“Bastardo! You motherfucker! You’re an asshole. A motherfucking, testa di cazzo. Ti odio!!! Bastardo!!! Hijo de puta!!!!You insensitive prick!! Out!!! I want you out of here!!! You got what you wanted you fucker!!! Get out!!! I hate you!!!! I hate you!!!Just leave me the fuck alone you motherfucking Bastard. Figlio di puttana! You can take your stupid pity and métetelo por el culo you motherfucker! Get the fuck out of here you stronzo!!!!"
Gibbs eventually got fed up with Tony’s poking and grabbed his wrists in his hands effectively stopping the poking and pulling Tony till he was right in front of him and very close wrapping his arms around the other man’s waist to keep him there. He’d understood most of it but what he hadn’t he’d ask Tony about later.
Tony’s yelling had died off for the most part by this point and he fell against Gibbs banging his closed fists against/on the older man’s chest and calling him a bastard in a broken voice.
Eventually Tony quieted completely and Gibbs said “Not denyin’ I’m a bastard Tony. Not leavin’ either; at least not ‘til you’ve calmed down and packed a couple bags so we can go home to our daughter.”
Tony, who’d only heard the part about packing bags, pulled away and stalked off down the hall. Once he’d reached the closet he opened the door and pulled out two child sized suitcases and a matching duffel. Stalking back to Kelly’s room he ignored Gibbs completely.
‘Bastard! Of course that’s the only fucking reason he came here! To get Kelly’s things. To think…Bastard almost had me fooled. I can’t believe I thought that maybe…maybe…Damnit I need to pull myself together!’ Tony thought as he began to go through Kelly’s clothes and pack them into her suitcases. He remembered when he’d bought the suitcases for Kelly. It was shortly after he’d moved to Baltimore. They were going to visit Vinnie in Florida and he’d realized he didn’t have anything for her to put her clothes in.
He remembered how frustrated he’d been back then. Her refusal to go with what the sales lady had shown them had frustrated Tony to no end, not only because the saleswoman had a high annoying giggle and was grating on his nerves but Kelly had been stubborn even back then. All he had wanted to do was get a luggage set and get out of there. He’d seen Kelly’s eyes light up when she’d laid eyes on this particular set. Looking back he realized how Ironic it was that Kelly had chosen this particular set. The set was pale camouflage and had a Black Corvette on the front of it. At the time he thought it was just the Corvette that had caught her fancy because Dominic had a Black Corvette that Kelly had fallen in love with. At the time it was only half finished because of the accident that had almost cost Brian his life. It was also the accident that had made Dominic realize how much of an idiot he had been up until that point.
Looking back now he also realized that in some way Kelly must have seen the camouflage as a reminder of Gibbs.
Once he had one suitcase filled with clothes for Kelly he moved onto the next one and began placing an assortment of toys, books, and some framed photographs of him and Kelly. Gibbs could do what he wanted with them. With that finished he placed several pairs of shoes in the duffel and zipped it shut. He carried it all to the front door and set them down by it before turning around and seeing Gibbs standing in Kelly’s doorway just watching him.
“There. Now get the hell outta here!” Tony said while attempting to walk past Gibbs.
As he walked past him Gibbs grabbed Tony to stop him but before he could speak, Tony ripped his arm away and continued walking past. Curling back up on Kelly’s bed with his back facing Gibbs he let himself fall into a restless sleep, not wanting to watch as Gibbs leaves, as he would surely be doing now that he had what he came for.
Gibbs watched Tony walk away with a small frown on his face. Once he realized Tony had no intention of moving he went to the Hall closet and pulled out what looked to be a Garment bag and suitcase belonging to Tony.
‘Should’ve known he’d have something just as expensive for those suits of his’ he thought chuckling softly. The only reason he grabbed the bag was because he knew if he didn’t use the garment bag Tony would never stop bitching about it.
Walking down the hall to what had to be Tony’s room he walked over to the bed and placed the suitcase and bag there before walking over to the closet and opening the doors. Pulling out several suits he walked back and placed them in the bag. Once he had packed as many suits as he could in the bag he closed it up and opened the suitcase. He then walked over to the dresser that sat against the far wall.
Opening the drawers he began pulling an assortment of jeans, sweats, t-shirts, muscle shirts, and sweatshirts out and tossing them all into the suitcase that laid open on Tony’s bed. Once he had finished with the clothes he went back and dug through Tony’s underwear and sock drawers for socks and boxers for the younger man. When he found a smallish box hidden in the back of Tony’s underwear drawer his curiosity was piqued. It was obviously not meant to be found by prying eyes under any circumstance but Gibbs was thorough and had pretty much cleaned out the underwear and sock drawers.
Opening the box he raised an eyebrow at its contents. Nestled inside the box was a very realistic looking cock shaped vibrator, several packages of batteries, what looked like some sort of cleanser, and several tubes of lube.
‘Well that answers one question. Now I know he’s not adverse to the idea of sex with a man. Don’t think he’d have this hidden in his underwear drawer if he was. Now I just need to convince him that I’m serious about wanting a relationship and not just because of Kelly either.’ Gibbs thought with a little trepidation. Tony could be just as stubborn as he was.
Walking back over to the bed he put the box in a somewhat hidden compartment in the suitcase and closed it up. Grabbing what was obviously the toiletries bag he walked into the attached bathroom and grabbed toiletries for Tony. He wasn’t going to let the man leave if he could prevent it and if things worked out the way he wanted Tony would be living with him pretty damn soon! Walking back out to put the smaller bag with the rest of the stuff he walked back out to the hall closet and made sure to pack a few pairs of shoes for Tony as well. If things worked out they would be coming back for the rest of Tony and Kelly’s things soon anyway.
Grabbing the bags he carried them to the living room and sat them down next to Kelly’s things before walking back to check on Tony. He didn’t look like he was going to stir anytime soon so he walked back out to the living room and grabbed some of the bags. Walking out of the apartment he carried them down to his truck and placed them in the back of it before going back for the rest of the bags. Once he had all of Tony’s bags and had grabbed Kelly’s and placed them in the truck alongside Tony’s stuff he made sure he locked his truck not knowing how long it would take for him to convince Tony to come back to the house with him.
Tony had woken up by this point and wandered out of Kelly’s room and to the bathroom to piss. Walking back out he wandered into the living room only to stop dead and slide to the floor upon seeing that Kelly’s bags were gone. He hadn’t realized it would hurt this much when Gibbs left. The not knowing when the older man had left was worse than knowing when he had. He didn’t know how long he sat there just staring at the spot where he’d placed Kelly’s things. Wondering how his life became so screwed in just a few hours. One minute his life was damn near perfect and now…now his life was empty.
When Gibbs walked back in he found Tony sitting on the floor and staring sightlessly at the wall near where the bags had been with tears running down his cheeks. He didn’t even seem to notice them.
Gibbs felt his heart clench a little at the sight. This man…he’d done what most people wouldn’t. He’d taken in a child he barely knew and had raised her on his own for 7 years. Still Tony was willing to let the little girl he raised as his own go. In some misguided notion that she’d be better off without him. Shaking his head softly Gibbs knelt down and pulled Tony into his arms.
Tony’s head came to rest in the crook of Gibbs’ neck while his arms eded up loosely wrapped around the former Marine. Gibbs gently rubbed Tony’s back in the hopes it would get a reaction from Tony other than this despondent one.
‘I never was any good at all this emotional crap.’ Gibbs thought as he held Tony in his arms. Eventually Tony begins to talk.
“Thought you’d left.” He says.
“Came out and Kelly’s things were gone. Though it would be easier to deal with if I didn’t see you leave with her stuff.” He mumbles.
‘This is nice. I don’t want to move even though I know I’ll have to soon. This will be the only time I’ll ever get to be in Gibbs arms so I’m going to stay as long as I can’ Tony thinks to himself while he just breathes in Gibbs scent.
“Hell No. I was just putting the bags in the car.” Gibbs says.
“Well now that you have Kelly’s bags you can get out now.” He says as he gets up and heads towards his bedroom.
Gibbs, who has had just about enough of Tony’s pure idiocy and extreme mood swing tonight, stands up and stalks after him. Reaching his hand out he grabs Tony’s wrist and spins him around to face him.
“I’ve had enough of your bullshit DiNozzo.” He says as he pulls Tony in close before crushing his mouth against the younger man’s. With a low moan Tony readily submits to the insistent tongue. Groaning Gibbs pushes Tony up against the wall just outside of his bedroom. Tony loses himself in the kiss and wraps his arms around Gibbs neck and brings one leg up to wrap around Gibbs waist using the wall for leverage and balance.
They break apart for a brief moment to take in some much needed air before resuming kissing again. Tony’s hips are slowly rocking against Gibbs own as their tongues explore every crevice of each other’s mouths and twine together. With a soft groan Gibbs breaks the kiss and rests his forehead against Tony’s.
“Do you get it now? I have no intention of walking out that door unless you are with me. Not gonna let you do a runner DiNozzo. Know you too well. I know that you act like a womanizing Frat boy, but that’s all it is. An act. Not gonna let you just walk out of Kelly’s life either.” He says giving an inscrutable look at Tony.
“Kelly misses you already. She’s already lost one parent and I’ll be damned if I let the man that cared for her and raised her as his own just walk out of her life. Not gonna let her lose another parent Tony.” He says pulling back to look Tony directly in the eye.
“No matter how much I want to ravish you right here, right now against this wall I can’t. We can’t. Kelly’s waiting at home for US. I’ve already packed a bag for you.” He says as he pulls away completely. Slowly Tony’s leg comes back to rest on the floor and his arms hang loosely at his sides.
Tony nodded numbly and they left, locking the apartment up and heading downstairs to get into Gibbs vehicle.

AN2: Okay these are kind of what I had in mind for Tony’s well hidden friend. He probably doesn’t get much use though what with Gibbs being Gibbs and Kelly being there.

AN3: Okay I know that the Spanish is probably very questionable but to explain I know several people who speak several different dialects of Spanish because they are from different Spanish speaking countries. (Mexico, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Honduras, Cuba and a few other places) so what little Spanish I do know is probably so mixed it’s not even funny.
Also another thing I should explain. The reason that it might seem Gibbs is moving so fast. Remember that I had to work out a timeline of events for this fic and I ended up having to fit the events of a ten year span into half that time. That’s a lot for Gibbs. NIS, Franks retiring, NCIS name change, His three marriages and divorces, Jenny and the Paris Op, Vance, etc so his moving fast is a result of that. If I can ever figure out how to post the timeline I will that way it’s there for the reference of the readers.
Also to head off the inevitable…I see Tony as being very multi-faceted. He’s strong, intelligent, funny, insecure, affectionate and quirky. He has a hidden depth to him that isn’t shown often. Most likely his masks are a defense mechanism that are hard to drop, probably due in part to his upbringing. He may seem overly emotional to some and definitely a bit unrealistic in his reactions, but I’ve seen this situation…or one similar I should say. I wonder if anyone has noticed Tony’s sometimes severe and swift shift in moods? Other than me?

“Papà! Where’d You Go?” Kelly asked while running up the stairs hoping to find him out of view.
Swearing softly Gibbs ran after Kelly when he heard Tony’s car start and the tire’s squeal as he tore out of his driveway. He could hear Kelly yelling “Papà!?!?!?! Wait!! Don’t leave Papà!!! Don’t go!!!”

He didn’t know why Tony had left like he had but, as soon as he got Kelly calmed down enough that she would willingly let go of him he was going to call Abby and then go after Tony.
‘Damnit DiNozzo. I will kick your ass when I find you.’ He thought as he continued to murmur soothingly to Kelly.

Looking back he realized how Ironic it was that Kelly had chosen this particular set. The set was pale camouflage and had a Black Corvette on the front of it. At the time he thought it was just the Corvette that had caught her fancy because Dominic had a Black Corvette that Kelly had fallen in love with. At the time it was only half finished because of the accident that had almost cost Brian his life. It was also the accident that had made Dominic realize how much of an idiot he had been up until that point.
Looking back now he also realized that in some way Kelly must have seen the camouflage as a reminder of Gibbs.
Once he had one suitcase filled with clothes for Kelly he moved onto the next one and began placing an assortment of toys, books, and some framed photographs of him and Kelly. Gibbs could do what he wanted with them. With that finished he placed several pairs of shoes in the duffel and zipped it shut. He carried it all to the front door and set them down by it before turning around and seeing Gibbs standing in Kelly’s doorway just watching him.
“There. Now get the hell outta here!” Tony said while attempting to walk past Gibbs.
As he walked past him Gibbs grabbed Tony to stop him but before he could speak, Tony ripped his arm away and continued walking past. Curling back up on Kelly’s bed with his back facing Gibbs he let himself fall into a restless sleep, not wanting to watch as Gibbs leaves, as he would surely be doing now that he had what he came for.
Gibbs watched Tony walk away with a small frown on his face. Once he realized Tony had no intention of moving he went to the Hall closet and pulled out what looked to be a Garment bag and suitcase belonging to Tony.
‘Should’ve known he’d have something just as expensive for those suits of his’ he thought chuckling softly. The only reason he grabbed the bag was because he knew if he didn’t use the garment bag Tony would never stop bitching about it.
Walking down the hall to what had to be Tony’s room he walked over to the bed and placed the suitcase and bag there before walking over to the closet and opening the doors. Pulling out several suits he walked back and placed them in the bag. Once he had packed as many suits as he could in the bag he closed it up and opened the suitcase. He then walked over to the dresser that sat against the far wall.
Opening the drawers he began pulling an assortment of jeans, sweats, t-shirts, muscle shirts, and sweatshirts out and tossing them all into the suitcase that laid open on Tony’s bed. Once he had finished with the clothes he went back and dug through Tony’s underwear and sock drawers for socks and boxers for the younger man. When he found a smallish box hidden in the back of Tony’s underwear drawer his curiosity was piqued. It was obviously not meant to be found by prying eyes under any circumstance but Gibbs was thorough and had pretty much cleaned out the underwear and sock drawers.
Opening the box he raised an eyebrow at its contents. Nestled inside the box was a very realistic looking cock shaped vibrator, several packages of batteries, what looked like some sort of cleanser, and several tubes of lube.
‘Well that answers one question. Now I know he’s not adverse to the idea of sex with a man. Don’t think he’d have this hidden in his underwear drawer if he was. Now I just need to convince him that I’m serious about wanting a relationship and not just because of Kelly either.’ Gibbs thought with a little trepidation. Tony could be just as stubborn as he was.
Walking back over to the bed he put the box in a somewhat hidden compartment in the suitcase and closed it up. Grabbing what was obviously the toiletries bag he walked into the attached bathroom and grabbed toiletries for Tony. He wasn’t going to let the man leave if he could prevent it and if things worked out the way he wanted Tony would be living with him pretty damn soon! Walking back out to put the smaller bag with the rest of the stuff he walked back out to the hall closet and made sure to pack a few pairs of shoes for Tony as well. If things worked out they would be coming back for the rest of Tony and Kelly’s things soon anyway.
Grabbing the bags he carried them to the living room and sat them down next to Kelly’s things before walking back to check on Tony. He didn’t look like he was going to stir anytime soon so he walked back out to the living room and grabbed some of the bags. Walking out of the apartment he carried them down to his truck and placed them in the back of it before going back for the rest of the bags. Once he had all of Tony’s bags and had grabbed Kelly’s and placed them in the truck alongside Tony’s stuff he made sure he locked his truck not knowing how long it would take for him to convince Tony to come back to the house with him.
Tony had woken up by this point and wandered out of Kelly’s room and to the bathroom to piss. Walking back out he wandered into the living room only to stop dead and slide to the floor upon seeing that Kelly’s bags were gone. He hadn’t realized it would hurt this much when Gibbs left. The not knowing when the older man had left was worse than knowing when he had. He didn’t know how long he sat there just staring at the spot where he’d placed Kelly’s things. Wondering how his life became so screwed in just a few hours. One minute his life was damn near perfect and now…now his life was empty.
When Gibbs walked back in he found Tony sitting on the floor and staring sightlessly at the wall near where the bags had been with tears running down his cheeks. He didn’t even seem to notice them.
Gibbs felt his heart clench a little at the sight. This man…he’d done what most people wouldn’t. He’d taken in a child he barely knew and had raised her on his own for 7 years. Still Tony was willing to let the little girl he raised as his own go. In some misguided notion that she’d be better off without him. Shaking his head softly Gibbs knelt down and pulled Tony into his arms.
Tony’s head came to rest in the crook of Gibbs’ neck while his arms eded up loosely wrapped around the former Marine. Gibbs gently rubbed Tony’s back in the hopes it would get a reaction from Tony other than this despondent one.
‘I never was any good at all this emotional crap.’ Gibbs thought as he held Tony in his arms. Eventually Tony begins to talk.
“Thought you’d left.” He says.
“Came out and Kelly’s things were gone. Though it would be easier to deal with if I didn’t see you leave with her stuff.” He mumbles.
‘This is nice. I don’t want to move even though I know I’ll have to soon. This will be the only time I’ll ever get to be in Gibbs arms so I’m going to stay as long as I can’ Tony thinks to himself while he just breathes in Gibbs scent.
“Hell No. I was just putting the bags in the car.” Gibbs says.
“Well now that you have Kelly’s bags you can get out now.” He says as he gets up and heads towards his bedroom.
Gibbs, who has had just about enough of Tony’s pure idiocy and extreme mood swing tonight, stands up and stalks after him. Reaching his hand out he grabs Tony’s wrist and spins him around to face him.
“I’ve had enough of your bullshit DiNozzo.” He says as he pulls Tony in close before crushing his mouth against the younger man’s. With a low moan Tony readily submits to the insistent tongue. Groaning Gibbs pushes Tony up against the wall just outside of his bedroom. Tony loses himself in the kiss and wraps his arms around Gibbs neck and brings one leg up to wrap around Gibbs waist using the wall for leverage and balance.
They break apart for a brief moment to take in some much needed air before resuming kissing again. Tony’s hips are slowly rocking against Gibbs own as their tongues explore every crevice of each other’s mouths and twine together. With a soft groan Gibbs breaks the kiss and rests his forehead against Tony’s.
“Do you get it now? I have no intention of walking out that door unless you are with me. Not gonna let you do a runner DiNozzo. Know you too well. I know that you act like a womanizing Frat boy, but that’s all it is. An act. Not gonna let you just walk out of Kelly’s life either.” He says giving an inscrutable look at Tony.
“Kelly misses you already. She’s already lost one parent and I’ll be damned if I let the man that cared for her and raised her as his own just walk out of her life. Not gonna let her lose another parent Tony.” He says pulling back to look Tony directly in the eye.
“No matter how much I want to ravish you right here, right now against this wall I can’t. We can’t. Kelly’s waiting at home for US. I’ve already packed a bag for you.” He says as he pulls away completely. Slowly Tony’s leg comes back to rest on the floor and his arms hang loosely at his sides.
Tony nodded numbly and they left, locking the apartment up and heading downstairs to get into Gibbs vehicle.

AN2: Okay these are kind of what I had in mind for Tony’s well hidden friend. He probably doesn’t get much use though what with Gibbs being Gibbs and Kelly being there.

AN3: Okay I know that the Spanish is probably very questionable but to explain I know several people who speak several different dialects of Spanish because they are from different Spanish speaking countries. (Mexico, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Honduras, Cuba and a few other places) so what little Spanish I do know is probably so mixed it’s not even funny.
Also another thing I should explain. The reason that it might seem Gibbs is moving so fast. Remember that I had to work out a timeline of events for this fic and I ended up having to fit the events of a ten year span into half that time. That’s a lot for Gibbs. NIS, Franks retiring, NCIS name change, His three marriages and divorces, Jenny and the Paris Op, Vance, etc so his moving fast is a result of that. If I can ever figure out how to post the timeline I will that way it’s there for the reference of the readers.
Also to head off the inevitable…I see Tony as being very multi-faceted. He’s strong, intelligent, funny, insecure, affectionate and quirky. He has a hidden depth to him that isn’t shown often. Most likely his masks are a defense mechanism that are hard to drop, probably due in part to his upbringing. He may seem overly emotional to some and definitely a bit unrealistic in his reactions, but I’ve seen this situation…or one similar I should say. I wonder if anyone has noticed Tony’s sometimes severe and swift shift in moods? Other than me?
