AN: Well, I have to say, I was less shocked by the finale as I have been in past seasons, but I was happy to see the funeral for Mike. Here are a few tags to get us started through the summer, there will be more to come soon. Enjoy.
McGee: And if something ever happened to you, I would…
Abby: You'd what, McGee?
She eased away from the embrace and slipped a hand in his before moving towards the elevator. Only he stood still.
"I'd die."
Abby shook her head. "Don't say that McGee."
"I don't care if it sounds melodramatic…or stupid…or you think you're still dreaming…it's how I feel."
"But I wouldn't want you to die…"
"Well I wouldn't want to live." He replied gently. "I know… where's Tony with the sappy movie reference when you need him?" He shrugged off her response and moved past her to the elevator when she stood in his way.
"If something ever happened…which I'm not saying it ever will. You would be okay. Gibbs would be there…"
"Gibbs?... Abby, who knows what part of him died when he lost his family. The Gibbs we know now can't be the Gibbs he used to be…and if he lost you…"
"Can we please not talk about me dying anymore?"
Tim nodded slowly.
"Look, I know everything is crazy right now, emotions are running high all over the place, I don't even know what day it is…and there's a killer roaming around killing NCIS agents…the last thing I wanna think about is me dying, and you dying, because I died."
He hid a smile at her rant, and slipped an arm around her back.
She did the same. "I'm tired McGee."
"I know."
She looked up at him before the elevator doors closed. "I'd die if anything happened to you too."
And he responded by pulling her closer to his side. Because sometimes words can't quite express a depth of love…
