Unlocked
Rating: T
Genre: Tony/Gibbs Father/Son No slash, hurt/comfort, AU
Six months since finding his son, six months of agonizing nightmares for both of them, six months of helping him re learn to walk, six months since his heart started to beat again, and he heard the music of the Gods.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs was not one to cry, but when they opened that door and found him, alone, scared, but singing, he nearly did. A year prior to the kidnapping, and ransom, he admitted to one, Anthony Dominic DiNozzo, that he was like family, a son to him. Unsurprisingly, the feeling was mutual.
Now today, his son was going to walk on his own since the kidnapping. While his recovery session, he wasn't able to talk normally for a while; but yet he could sing. During those times, he couldn't write his own name; but he could write lyrics. It was truly confusing. It was unexplainable, but it was right. He walked his steps into freedom, now, he was walking his steps into life.
Everyone was here, Abby, Ducky, Jimmy, Ziva, McGee, hell, even the director.
They were all awaiting anxiously as Tony finally walked into the room, through Gibbs' corridor, and into the living room. Tears of joy sprang on to everyone's faces.
"Finally! I finally did the damn walking!" Tony said in an almost shocked manor.
"DiNozzo, I never doubted you could." Gibbs was even wearing on of those rare smiles.
This truly was a sight to behold.
Tony hugged everyone, but he gripped Gibbs, his leader, his boss, his father.
The next words were quite unexpected, yet unsurprising. "Tony, I'm sorry it took this long" The words were from the mouth of the boss. Everyone's eyes were fish like. Though, one did break the ice.
"It's alright bo- dad" Tony smiled, and replied.
"Don't worry, it won't happen again, I'll damn well make sure of it. That's the last time I leave my door unlocked." Promised the 'Silver haired fox', in Abby's words.
'Yup, never again.' Gibbs thought to himself.
Though, he couldn't get over the events of all these months.
A thought sprung to his mind 'What truly did happen during these months?'
That was the last thought he had, before flashbacks, and a blast to the past.
