The night dragged on. With each passing moment, Abby was getting more and more tired. She'd tried everything trying to go to sleep. She drank warm milk, counted backwards from a hundred, counted sheep, well not really sheep, she counted Gibbs smacking tony on the back of the head. But she just couldn't fall asleep!
So she did the one thing she had promised to never do again. She called McGee and asked him to come over and help her sleep (not like that, get your minds out of the gutter)
He was over in 10 minutes (a new record), and as soon as he got into her apartment (he had a key) he walked to her bed (coffin), got in and put his arm around her. After 10 minutes of silence, they were both snoring.
The next morning Abby work up with a star, feeling extremely warm. She ran her hand down her bed until she came across something squishy. "What the hell??" she thought.
Then it all came flooding back to her. The phone call to McGee, him coming over, falling asleep in his arms.
"He's the best" she thought, "Even after our huge fight yesterday he still came over when I needed him. I knew there was a reason I loved him."
She turned to face McGee and found him watching her.
"Timmy?"
"Yea, Abby?"
"You're the best, you know"
"Thanks."
They laid in silence for a few moments until
"Timmy, I'm sorry about yesterday."
"Don't be. You were right. I figured it out after you left the squad room."
"But I overreacted."
"No, your reaction was justified."
"But Timmy-"
"No buts. The fight was my fault, you were right, and your reaction was justified. So can we move past this so we can get ready to go to work?"
"Ok. Some of your clothes are in the bottom drawer."
"Thanks. And Abby?"
"Yea Timmy?"
"If you ever need me, you know I'll always be here."
"I know. Thanks"
She walked over to him as he was getting dressed, and after he stood up, she turned him around so they were facing each other and kissed him. Hard. On the lips.
He didn't hesitate to kiss her back.
Once the need for oxygen was too hard to handle, they pulled apart and blushed, then started getting ready for work again. The blushes stayed on their faces the entire ride to NCIS headquarters (they took McGee's car) and all the way up the elevator. Right before she got out, Abby turned to McGee and said
"Thanks for last night. I love you." And then she got off the elevator, leaving McGee speechless for the ride up to the third floor. When the elevator reached his floor, McGee was still frozen in his spot. The doors closed in his face, and then reopened a few seconds later.
As the doors were reopening, tony and Gibbs found McGee with his mouth wide open and staring straight ahead of him.
"Any idea what's wrong with him, boss?"
"No, but he's about to get something really wrong."
As the doors closed, the entire third floor (and even some of the 2nd) heard two things. The first being an "Ow!!" from McGee, and the second being laughter from Tony. Then suddenly, another "Ow!" was heard, though this one came from Tony.
A/N: so it's not the best ending, I know. This was written because I was testing out my pencils for school (it started a week ago) and I wrote down a random sentence, and somehow, it turned into this story. Hope you liked it. Review please!!
