Disclaimer: Do not Own Kate, Tony or Gibbs.

Kate Todd fell into her chair, leaning her head against the computer as she rummaged through her draws in search for her tissues.

"ACHOO!" She sneezed heavily into her newly discovered stash of tissues. She blew heavily into it, in a vain attempt to clear her massively blocked head. Throwing her tissue at the overflowing bin she missed and sighed. Only her blocked sinuses stopped that, and instead a low squeak erupted from her nose.

Groaning with frustration she slammed her desk drawers shut and rested her head on the desk. This cold had been battling her for several days and having spent the night in her apartment with no central heating. She felt this cold was developing a nasty resistance to any form of cold medicine on the market.

She took a deep breath through her mouth and blew long and hard into another tissue. .

'Holy Crap Katie. You sound like hell.' She looked up to see Tony waltz into the bullpen. Four coffee's perched jauntily on his hand.

'You still got that cold?'

'No, Tony. I've recently learned to play Twinkle Twinkle Little star through my nose.' She muttered sarcastically. Her nasally tone ruining the desired effect.

'Well…….You could try Socky Bombing.' He grinned slyly. 'Or….' He fell on his chair and spun round happily on his chair. 'You may just need someone to tuck you in at night. With a nice pot of soup.' He raised an eye-brow subjectively at her. She tried to give a stern look but was interrupted by a giant sneeze. Her computer screen was splattered and it seemed her keyboard would require a good scrub down tomorrow.

'You volunteering DiNozzo?'

'Hell no Kate. I don't do sick people.' Kate chucked her box of tissues at Tony's head.

'What was that for?'

'Being an insensitive jerk. I mean it's your fault I have this stinking cold!'

'My fault?' Tony smirked. He walked round his desk and toward her. 'And why is that Miss Todd.'

Kate smiled slightly.

'Well if you could teach your germs to be more polite. I wouldn't be in this position.

''If you'd learnt to keep you lips to yourself when you were looking after me.' He slipped his hand round her waist inconspicuously.

'Oh. Because that was my fault.' She scoffed,. Sneezing again onto his hands.

'Ewww!!!!!'

'Sorry.' She grinned sheepishly. 'So are you going to take the blame for some of this.'

'Maybe….'He whispered in her ear. 'Even as you are. All sweaty and sick. I could possibly risk sharing germs with you again.' He kissed her lightly on the lips.

ACHOOOOOO!' She sneezed. Spinning away from Tony and falling backward of her chair.'

'Ow.' She groaned softly. Tony laughed loudly. With the little effort Kate manipulated the chair and pushed hard on it. Catching Tony on the shins. He toppled over landing on top of her.

'DiNozzo. As much as you enjoy being on top. Kate needs to sneeze.'

ACHOOOOOOOOOO.
