Summary: There's something about Tony that Gibbs has to like.
Kelly's Eyes by frostygossamer
Gibbs arrives back at the bullpen to discover Dinozzo yet again asleep at his desk. He taps Tony's head hard with the folder he's carrying and, without a word, goes and sits down at his own workstation.
How many mornings this month, this week, has he had to do that same thing.
He should fire that idle bozo's ass. Now, how many times has he thought that?
He can easily list plenty of reasons why he could do without that good-looking big-mouth's annoying presence in his workplace. There are troops of upcoming agents waiting to take his place in this stimulating team. He has a whole bunch of resumes on his desk. Well, in his trash basket actually. What is he waiting for?
He begins to list Tony's many faults on a scrap of paper. He could use his PC but Gibbs is an old-fashioned ink-and-paper guy.
One. Tony is lazy - He sleeps at his desk, like right now. He doesn't shake his ass when hard work is needed. He's a shirker.
Two. Tony is irritating - He can't let anyone alone to get on with their work. He never shuts up, a least while he's awake.
Three. Tony doesn't work well with his co-workers - In fact he gets on their nerves, constantly, and apparently on purpose.
Four. Tony always tries to claim credit for other peoples hard work and original ideas - He thinks Gibbs doesn't notice it, but Gibbs is a an old fox and nothing gets by him.
Five. Tony always blames his mistakes on other people - And again, that has been noted. The black marks on his record are starting to reproduce.
Six. Tony is a chauvinist - He loves the ladies but he doesn't understand how to treat women. Gibbs doesn't know how Ziva puts up with it. It must be the Mossad training.
Seven. Tony talks about movies all the time - He's an airhead. That's the only explanation. How the hell did he get that ivy-league college degree? Must have had something on the Dean.
Eight. Tony is vain and self-centred - He's handsome, sure, but he could rein in the self-love by a few yards and still be way out in front of the pack.
He could go on...
Oh, yeah. There are stacks of reasons, big valid reasons to get rid of Tony. He's thought of firing him frequently. He has had his transfer papers on his desk, ready to sign, numerous times. He has even come close to shooting him himself, on occasion.
But somehow it never happens. Why?
Suddenly, Dinozzo appears at his elbow bearing a Caf-Pow fountain cup. Squinting and twisting his head, he is patently trying to see what his boss has been writing about him. Surely it's about him? Isn't everything about him?
Gibbs glances up intending to chase him away with some cutting jibe. But he catches a look from those eyes.
Dinozzo is an attractive guy. Gibbs wouldn't argue with that. In fact he's pretty damn dazzling. Although, of course, that's just a factual observation on Gibbs' part. He's a marine after all, very much a man's man. That sort of thing has no effect on him, whatsoever, obviously.
No, It's not the guy's boyish physique, his coiffured hair, his chiseled features, his shell-like ears, his shiny white smile. It's just his eyes. Those eyes. Those perfect, limpid pools. Blue like his own, yes, but more poignantly than that. Blue like Kelly's. Blue like the eyes of the little girl he lost.
So whenever Dinozzo fixes him with those baby blues, no matter how furious he is with him, it fizzles out.
He can never be angry with those eyes.

A/N: NCIS gave me an idea for a Supernatural story so I thought it's only fair I should do one for NCIS too.
