Setting: Season 13, might be spoilers

Pairing(s): Jeanne/Tony, Teanne

One-Shot : Drabble

Found this passage on Wikipedia. I know some people say that Wikipedia - sometimes - don't have right facts, but this one is totally true:

Later, after the case is closed, Tony returns to Jeanne's office to find her alone after a fight with her husband regarding her unresolved feelings for Tony. Tony fully apologizes to her and sits down with her, admitting he isn't feeling whole either, and they have an amicable conversation about both of them wanting to go back in time to fix their relationship in hope of a happier ending. However, as they part, they both stand up and have a tense moment where they nearly kiss, but both agree it should not go any further.

A/N: Isn't that cute!

That Magical Moment That Actually Happens

"Goodnight Tony," she said.

"Goodnight." Tony DiNozzo said to Jeanne, showing eye contact.

"..Goodbye Tony," Jeanne Benoit replied, trying to imply that he should leave and never come back.

"Bye.." Tony said, standing there a bit longer. "Did she really just tell me that?" he thought, sadly. Tony turned around and walked towards the door, while Jeanne was staring at the papers she was writing on with a blank, kind-of-hurt expression.

"Tony...wait..." Jeanne whispered, making the decision to finally talk to him.

"Yeah?" Tony replied, turning around so they were facing each other.

"I just wanted to apologize..for..you know. It's just...case..and fight...nevermind." Jeanne said. Tony noticed a strand of her hair fall onto her face, so he brushed it back behind her ear. Jeanne blushed and smiled.

All they wanted to do was to be in each others embrace, but that would be wrong.

"Okay...? I'm just going to...go?" Jeanne shrugged, turning away.

"Jeanne...wait.." Tony said. "Reversed roles now?" Jeanne thought, walking back to him.

Their faces were at least one centimeter apart. They felt each other breathing heavily.

"T-Tony?" Jeanne gasped.

Tony leaned in, pressing their lips together. He was in the lead. He took it slow, targeting her bottom lip. Jeanne was smiling while they were kissing. She managed to grab the back of his collar that was around his neck. They started using their tongues, remembering the past when Tony DiNardo was dating the arms dealer's daughter. Tony's hands made it to Jeanne's back, pulling her closer. It lasted for a few minutes - which to them was an eternity - but Jeanne pulled away after the lack of air.

"T-T-Tony?...I..w-we can't." Jeanne said, backing up. "Nothing's wrong. It's just..David..and NCIS and all-all.. that. You know?"

"Yeah..sorry, that was my fault. I started it." Tony apologized. Jeanne gaze went from his lips and back down.

"Friends..?" she insisted, biting her bottom lip, still feeling pressure on her lip.

"I guess so." Tony agreed, licking his lips. "But before I go..."

Tony gave her one quick kiss on the side of her lip. "What are we doing?" Tony thought, letting go.

"Bye Jeanne."

"Bye Tony."

["I guess I would go back further." -Jeanne Benoit]

["I know that feeling. The not feeling whole part." - Anthony DiNozzo]
