Heavy on the smutty/slash - Don't like it? Don't read it! :)


Tony sat in the driveway, fingers clutching the steering wheel tightly as he stared up at the two-story home, he'd been sitting there for twenty minutes contemplating whether he should go in. Whenever he came over to Gibbs' house late at night, it was usually after a tough case that needed to be hashed out, or when his brain wouldn't shut off after thinking about things for too long and he just needed to ramble on about random things that came to mind. Somehow tonight was different though, tonight his brain was thinking clearly, tonight it was his gut, churning and twisting for reasons unknown.

Gibbs stared out at Tony's car sitting in the driveway, he'd been standing there for the past twenty minutes, watching the wind rip leaves off the trees, the rain bouncing off the glass window and Tony, he'd been watching Tony sitting there, drumming his fingers on the dashboard as he glanced at his watch and then the house, and back again numerous times, when Tony finally decided to open the car door and race through the rain, Gibbs bolted for the basement, knowing that was where Tony would want to talk, that's where their most meaningful conversations took place – Well, It's where Gibbs grunted or nodded, and Tony rambled on and didn't expect an answer to any of his questions or observations.

Tony brushed the rain off his hair and stripped off his jacket then hung it up on the coat rack and slipped his boots off, changing into the dry pair of socks he had in his jean pocket "Dry clothes are in the washing machine!" Gibbs shouted from the basement, Tony shivered and sock-slid through the house to the laundry room where he pulled his OSU sweatshirt and sweatpants out of the dryer, changing into the still-warm clothes and hugging himself as he grabbed the towel and dried his hair thoroughly then retreated to the basement "You knew I was coming over?" Tony asked as he took his typical seat on the top of the second landing.

Gibbs nodded and turned to Tony and handed him the mason jar of already poured bourbon into Tony's opened hand, "We didn't have a bad case… So… brain not sleeping tonight?" Gibbs asked curiously as he took his own mason jar of bourbon and the sanding block as he walked over to the ever-present boat in his basement, Tony shook his head, "Not my brain tonight… My gut." Tony said quietly as he twisted the mason jar around in his fingertips, Gibbs raised an eyebrow and looked over his shoulder at Tony, taking in his slumped posture as he leaned against the cinder block wall of the basement. Tony exhaled slowly as he brought the glass to his lips and swallowed down the heated liquid carefully, letting the burn expand in his chest and stomach as it went down, then looked up at Gibbs with sad green eyes.

Gibbs immediately set the sanding block down, grabbed the stool and drug it over to sit down in front of Tony, a few feet between them, but enough that they could hear each other breathing softly, and if they decided tonight was a night of silent whispering, "Ten years… It's a long time… to be someone's friend…" Tony began, in a whispered tone, his fingers restlessly spinning the mason jar, Gibbs nodded his head in agreement "Learn a lot about someone in ten years… Their likes, dislikes… Their moods and how they react to certain situations…" Tony continued, keeping his voice low as he stared at his fingers, "Learn how to make them smile… Or how to brighten their mood when they're down… How to put the fire out when it's burning to hot…" Tony said as he finally looked up at Gibbs with a frown on his face, his eyes searching Gibbs' face for the answer he was searching for.

Gibbs inhaled as he set the mason jar down on the floor by his foot, and leaned forward, taking Tony's mason jar from his fingertips, then wrapping their hands around each other, Gibbs smiled "You talkin' about me, Tony?" Gibbs asked teasingly, Tony nodded his head and extracted his hands from Gibbs' hands, "Mhm… I… I should go… I don't… I can't believe I started this…" Tony said shakily as he quickly stood up and bolted up the stairs, his hand on the basement handle, he turned and looked down at Gibbs, who was staring back up at him, blue eyes locking onto green eyes, Tony sighed and twisted the door handle, a little roughly as the entire piece came apart in his hand, Tony looked down at the handle in his palm with wide eyes, "Uh oh…" Tony whispered hoarsely as he bit his bottom lip, Gibbs laughed loudly as he bounded up the steps and took the handle from Tony's hand and shook his head.

Tony stared in disbelief at both Gibbs and the door handle "Did you set this up?!" Tony asked incredulously, Gibbs shook his head, raising his hands in surrender quickly "No, I really didn't… I've been meaning to fix the door… It was starting to get loose for a while now… Just never had the time." Gibbs said with a shrug as he set the door handle down on the banister and trotted back down the stairs and sat back on the stool again, nodding his head towards the step Tony recently vacated. Tony sighed and waltzed back to his seat and stared at his clasped hands dangling between his kneecaps, the single light in the basement flickering a few times as the thunder outside rumbled loudly, shaking the very foundation of the house, Tony jumped slightly and sucked his bottom lip into his mouth.

Gibbs shook his head and grabbed Tony's mason jar, setting it back into his hand, "Drink that… Your nerves are completely shot to hell if you're jumping over a little thunder." Gibbs commented dryly as he grabbed his own jar and sipped gingerly at it, while Tony tipped his jar back and swallowed down all the contents and held out the empty cup to Gibbs, who turned and grabbed the bottle from the corner of his workbench, then filled Tony's glass back up a few fingers. The two men stared at the floor between their feet as they silently drank their bourbon and the light above their heads continued flickering on and off, "We're going to lose the power." Gibbs whispered, Tony nodded and glanced up at Gibbs, "Sawdust was never a good energy source Boss, I tried warning you!" Tony teased with an easy grin on his face, Gibbs chuckled and shook his head, swiping the back of his hand over his mouth.

The silence between the two men stretched infinitesimally until the light bulb finally gave up and the power in the entire house went out "Hope you don't have anything that'll spoil in the fridge." Tony whispered into the dark as he tipped the mason jar to his mouth again, Gibbs chuckled and sighed "Nope… Steak might defrost though, depending on how long the power stays out…" Gibbs said with a smile, even though Tony couldn't see it, Tony stood up and stumbled, quickly grasping Gibbs' shoulders to steady himself, "Got… any candles or anything down here?" Tony asked, his voice wavering as he held onto Gibbs for dear life, Gibbs nodded and stood up, turning and placing Tony's hands back onto his shoulders as he led the way towards the workbench with little effort he retrieve the emergency candles and matches, and lighting a few of them, basking the basement in a dull yellow light.

Tony continued holding Gibbs' shoulders even though there was now light in the space, "Tony…" Gibbs whispered, turning around and facing the younger man, Tony smiled sheepishly and let his hands slid down from Gibbs' shoulders, barely grazing over Gibbs' chest and setting his hands back to his sides "Sorry." Tony whispered hoarsely as he took a few steps back and rocked on the balls of his feet for a few seconds, until the bourbon swimming in his system made his entire body sway unsteadily, Gibbs quickly grabbed Tony by the elbows and held him straight, "C'mon… Let's go sit down." Gibbs said as he guided Tony over to the couch underneath the staircase, Tony collapsed into one corner while Gibbs collapsed into the other side, their feet lightly touching "Wh-when did you g-get a co-couch?" Tony hiccuped out.

Gibbs laughed and shook his head slowly "A couple weeks ago… I was tired of sleeping on the floor… Thought I'd give me a new bed." Gibbs said with a grin, Tony nodded and laid his head on the back of the couch "'S comfy…" Tony murmured as he ran his finger around the fabric in slow circles, Gibbs reached out and stopped Tony's nervous movements and then chucked him under the chin "Ten years… Is a long time… To watch someone grow… Learn their habits and their triggers… Learn how to calm the storm… Learn how to read the other's emotions with just a quick glance in their eyes." Gibbs stated, Tony nodded mutely, keeping his eyes downcast as he fiddled with Gibbs' thumb, "I've watched you for ten plus years, become this… amazing man… And, I know I don't say it often enough, but… I'm proud of you Tony." Gibbs whispered, swallowing nervously as he watched green eyes lift to meet steady blue eyes.

Tony sighed quietly as he inched a bit closer to Gibbs "Ten years in the making." Tony whispered, Gibbs nodded and scooted closer as well "Ten years… Longer than all my ex-wives lasted combined…" Gibbs whispered back, Tony giggled drunkenly as he licked his lips slowly, Gibbs watched the pink tongue dart out and inhaled sharply, wanting nothing more than to suckle on that beautiful muscle, "I'm more committed to you than your ex-wives. More loyal… More faithful…" Tony whispered, each break in his sentence he inched closer to Gibbs, "More tempting… More beautiful… Smarter…" Gibbs whispered, he also inched closer between each break of his sentence, now Tony and Gibbs were only inches apart, the tips of their noses lightly brushing together, their warm bourbon soaked breathes mingling together, then – like a centripetal force – Gibbs and Tony's lips touched in the barest of kisses.

Both wide eyed, they stared at each other, breathlessly as they both glanced at each other's lips then back into each other's eyes "Wow." Tony whispered as he reached up with his hand and gently outlined Gibbs' lips, Gibbs chuckled softly as he reached up and cupped Tony's cheek lightly "Wow indeed." Gibbs whispered as he leaned in again and kissed Tony with more purpose this time, Tony moaned into the kiss and lifted himself up, pressing his chest against Gibbs' chest as their kiss grew passionately, Tony rested his hands on either side of Gibbs' neck as he straddled his thighs, and Gibbs leaned back, resting his hands onto Tony's hips as their lips finally fell apart, both panting and slightly flushed, Gibbs shifted again so that both men were now lying down on the couch, "What are we going to do?" Tony asked softly, drawing soft circles across Gibbs' shoulder, "We're going to lay here… and… we're going to talk…" Gibbs said, swallowing a few times and exhaling the final words out of his mouth, Tony lifted his head slightly with a raised eyebrow "Just talk?" Tony asked curiously, Gibbs shook his head "Only for now." He promised with a grin on his face.

Tony scooted around on top of Gibbs for a few seconds until he found a comfortable spot against his chest, intertwining their fingers and resting them on the couch, Tony breathed in the scent of sawdust, coffee, old spice and bourbon, smiling "This is nice… But, I thought you said we were going to talk?" Tony said with a chuckle, Gibbs reached up with his free hand and popped Tony in the back of the head lightly "You were busy getting comfortable." Gibbs retorted with a grin on his face, Tony nodded and chewed his bottom lip nervously "How long have you…" Tony let the question die off with uncertainty, Gibbs rested his hand against the back of Tony's head and lightly stroked through the satiny locks "It'd be cliché to say I fell in love with you at first sight… Because, I don't think it was then… But, I was attracted to you since Baltimore… When did I fall in love with you? That case on Air Force One… When you and Ducky were goofing around… Taking pictures in the president's chair…" Gibbs said with a chuckle at the memory.

Tony groaned and shook his head "You fell in love with me, while you were-… Oh… Hey whoa! Were you really pissing in there or what?" Tony asked, lifting his head to stare down at Gibbs with wide eyes, Gibbs sighed and shook his head, pulling Tony's head back down against his chest, "I was not masturbating with Ducky in the next room… That would just be wrong. He's like a second father to me…" Gibbs said, cringing slightly at that thought, Tony giggled and nuzzled into Gibbs' chest "I've been attracted to you too, since Baltimore… Fell in love with you when… you were interrogating that obnoxious lawyer… You remember him?" Tony asked with a grin on his face, Gibbs nodded and continued running his fingers through Tony's hair lightly "Mhm, I remember exactly who you're talking about… What is it with Lawyers thinking they're better than me?" Gibbs asked, snorting a little in disdain, Tony chuckled and shook his head, "Nobody's better than you, boss." Tony whispered affectionately.

The two men lay quietly for a while, Gibbs hand steadily petting through Tony's hair, and Tony steadily rubbing his thumb over Gibbs' knuckles as they cuddled together "Are we able to go upstairs?" Tony asked softly, Gibbs grunted and nodded his head as he lifted his head up and kissed the top of Tony's head "Yep, but you have to be willing to get off me." Gibbs said teasingly, Tony sniffled and nodded as he slowly got up to a seated position on the edge of the couch and then stood up, pulling Gibbs up to his feet. Gibbs smiled as he grabbed a screwdriver and hammer and moved up the stairs to the door, he quickly and efficiently pulled the door off the hinges and set it against the wall, Tony sighed and slid his arm around Gibbs' waist "Could have avoided all kinds of mushy conversation if you would have done that in the first place." Tony said teasingly as the two began walking towards the stairs leading to the second story of the house "Didn't want to avoid it anymore." Gibbs admitted quietly, Tony nodded and pushed Gibbs against the wall once they were upstairs.

Lips met in an electrifying kiss and hands glided over clothed skin as the heady passion returned, somehow sweatshirts were removed, and sweatpants were bunched at the ankles as they shuffled towards the master bedroom, kicking out of their sweats and leaving them only in socks as they stood beside the bed, "Love you." Tony whispered against Gibbs' lips, smiling as he kissed the older man once more before diving into the bed unceremoniously and flopping around for added humor, Gibbs laughed as he grabbed Tony by the ankles and stilled his motions, then slowly kissed each of his shins "Love you too, Tony." Gibbs whispered as he crawled and kissed his way up Tony's body slowly, Tony was panting as he watched Gibbs skirt around his hard cock and up his stomach, "God… you're… you're… oh god…" Tony gasped out as Gibbs teeth latched onto his taut right nipple and sucked sweetly.

Gibbs smirked as he flicked his tongue over the hard peak and then slowly kissed his way over to the other nipple, lavishing the same attention onto it until Tony was writhing and gripping the sheets beneath him "Gibbs… Please…" Tony whispered hoarsely, Gibbs shook his head and bit the center of Tony's chest roughly "Jethro." He corrected with a growl, Tony whimpered and bit his bottom lip, "Jethro…" he moaned out, his bottom lip now trembling as he pulled Gibbs up to him and kissed him, desperation and need mingling together as he wrapped his arms around Gibbs' shoulders and held him in place for a few breathless moments, Gibbs reluctantly pulled back from Tony's lips and rolled over onto his side and fumbled inside his nightstand drawer until he found what he was looking for.

Tony lifted his head and watched as Gibbs grabbed the tube of lube and tossed it on the bed beside them, "Is… Is it too late… to ask… if you've… ever done this… before?" Tony asked hesitantly, his words coming out in slight hiccups. Gibbs laughed as he rolled back towards Tony and settled his hand against the curved hip of the younger man's body "Not something I do all the time, but occasionally… Been a while though… What about you?" Gibbs asked as he gently caressed Tony's side, causing goosebumps to rise against Tony's tanned skin, Tony nodded softly "Couple of times… but… nothing ever… compared… to my dreams… so… I let them… guide me…" Tony said, his breath hitching as Gibbs' hand trailed down his side to his thigh and ghosted over his leaking cock a few times, "And… what did you dream about?" Gibbs whispered into Tony's ear as his hand circled Tony's cock and began a slow stroke.

Tony gasped and clenched his eyes shut tightly "You… always… always you…" Tony gasped out, his hips thrusting forward in Gibbs' hand, Gibbs nodded his approval and kissed Tony's ear softly "Good… Because, I'm not sharing you, not after all this." Gibbs growled in his ear, Tony whimpered and nodded "Never again… I'm all yours… Forever Jethro… Forever." Tony stammered out, gasping and moaning as Gibbs' continued stroking his cock and twisting over the head every few strokes. Gibbs released Tony's cock, with a whimper of protest from the younger man, as he pushed up to his knees and positioned himself between Tony's spread legs, then grabbed the lube, squirting a generous amount onto his fingertips, "Lift your legs up some." Gibbs instructed, Tony nodded and did so, grabbing a pillow and adjusting it behind his head to look directly into Gibbs' eyes, Gibbs smirked as he reached underneath Tony's balls and unerringly zeroed in on the tight ring of muscles and heat, Gibbs slowly circled his index finger around the muscle, biting his bottom lip as he watched Tony squirm in anticipation and breathing heavily.

Gibbs' finger slowly slid past the ring and he carefully moved it in and out, Tony whimpered in pleasure as his eyes fluttered shut and his hips arched off the bed "So beautiful, Anthony… So beautiful." Gibbs whispered as he slid a second finger into Tony and began gently scissoring and circling, opening Tony up little by little. Tony moaned and pushed back on Gibbs' fingers, his mouth opened in a perpetual 'O' of ecstasy as Gibbs opened him up "Jethro… Please… Need… Need…" Tony stammered, his words coming in short gasps of breath "What do you need Tony? Tell me… I'll give you everything, anything you ask of me." Gibbs said softly, Tony inhaled deeply, pulling in enough oxygen to form a moment of coherent thought "Need you inside me… Need to feel you… Please." Tony begged, his bottom lip trembling, Gibbs nodded and withdrew his fingers, swiping them on the comforter, he then slicked himself up and propped himself above Tony's opening.

Tony anxiously arched towards the cock hovering above him, "Stop… stop… teasing… please… please…" Tony moaned out, his entire body trembling with need and anticipation, Gibbs chuckled softly as he gently slid the head of his cock into Tony's tight warmth and an unbridled moan escaped his lips as the warmth enveloped him and began dragging him in further "God… So warm… so tight… So good Tony…" Gibbs murmured out brokenly as he pressed the flats of his palms above Tony's shoulders and began rocking his hips inward to push himself in to the hilt, Tony gasped and grabbed Gibbs' biceps once he was fully seated "Oh god!" Tony moaned, his body arching and eyes screwing shut tightly. Gibbs reached over with his hand and lightly slapped Tony's cheek "Open your eyes, look at me… Look at me Tony." Gibbs said softly, Tony obeyed the gentle command and smiled softly as he reached his hand up to Gibbs' neck and pulled him down, their lips touching in soft kisses as Gibbs began slowly thrusting himself into Tony's body.

Tony moaned as he bit down gently on Gibbs' bottom lip, his fingers massaging into the back of Gibbs' neck and his bicep "Harder… please… need… need more Jethro…" Tony pleaded brokenly as he slid his legs to the small of Gibbs' back and latched on, Gibbs groaned as he sank deeper into Tony's heat and then inhaled deeply to regain some semblance of control as he began pulling out to the tip and slamming back in with calculated thrusts. Tony moaned loudly as he arched his stomach against Gibbs' stomach, "Oh fuck… Fuck please… Please give me more…" Tony begged, his sphincter convulsing and tightening around Gibbs' cock intensely, Gibbs growled deep in his throat as he pushed up onto his knees, he grabbed another pillow and pushed it underneath Tony's raised hips and then pulled Tony's legs up and hooked them over his elbows, he straightened his body out and began rigorously drilling into the younger man's body. Tony screamed and writhed against the bed, his eyes shutting only momentarily, forcing himself to continue looking up into Gibbs' eyes as he was furiously pounded into, their bodies rocking against the bed, the headboard slamming into the wall.

Gibbs shuddered slightly as he gripped tightly into Tony's knees and bit back a feral groan as he drilled into Tony "So… So close… Please… Please… God…" Tony murmured incoherently, a litany of swears exploding from his mouth as he wrapped his fist around his leaking cock and began stroking in time with Gibbs' thrusts, "Come for me… Come on Tony… I wanna see you come…" Gibbs encouraged as he hit Tony's sweet-spot with a few deep thrusts, Tony screamed loudly as his release rocketed out of him "JETHRO!" Tony screamed, his entire body tensing with the orgasm, white hot strands of come plopping across Tony's chest, stomach and chin, Gibbs moaned loudly as he thrusted rough short stabs into Tony's body, then stilled completely as he unloaded himself with inhuman growl, his hands tightly gripping Tony's knees. Tony panted loudly as his legs were lowered back to the bed and Gibbs carefully removed himself from Tony's body, he laid down beside the younger man and gently kissed Tony's temple.

Tony was the first to swim back from the post-coital haze, he groaned as he turned to look at Gibbs, who had his eyes closed and a content smile on his face, Tony started moving off the bed, but a quick hand grabbed his wrist "Where going?" Gibbs mumbled tiredly, Tony chuckled and leaned over, kissing Gibbs softly on the lips "Thought I'd grab something to clean up with… Not a good feeling being covered in sticky stuff." Tony said softly, Gibbs nodded and released Tony's wrist, "'Kay." Gibbs mumbled as the bed shifted with Tony getting off it. Tony slowly walked into the bathroom and grabbed a wash cloth and ran it under warm water, then carefully cleaned himself up, glancing in the mirror as he watched Gibbs fix the bed and draw back the comforter, then collapse back into the bed unceremoniously and tiredly, Tony chuckled and brought the rag into the bedroom, "Mind if I clean you up?" Tony asked sweetly, Gibbs shook his head and waved his hand helplessly "Have at it." He whispered hoarsely, Tony chuckled as he carefully swiped the warm rag over Gibbs' flaccid cock and stomach, then tossed the rag back into the bathroom.

Tony climbed into the bed and snuggled into Gibbs' side, intertwining their fingers of one hand, while Gibbs' other hand went to the back of Tony's head again, gently running his fingers through the sweat-soaked strands, "Love you Jethro." Tony whispered softly, then planted a gentle kiss against Gibbs' chest, Gibbs snorted slightly, half-asleep already "Love you… too…" Gibbs said tiredly, his voice fading slightly from exhaustion, Tony smirked as he rubbed his thumb over Gibbs' knuckles lightly until the older man's breathing evened out, Tony snuggled in deeper and listened to Gibbs' steady heartbeat as sleep slowly took over his senses and he fell asleep dreaming of the man underneath his own body and what tomorrow would bring for them when they were awake and a little less drunk.
