Disclaimer: Don't own the characters. But if I did, Kate would definitely still be alive…
Plot: Set during 'Minimum Security'
A/N: I watched the episode this morning plus I'm not feeling that great so I thought how nice would it be if I had someone like Gibbs taking care of me :D Please R&R…

Gibbs opened his eyes, hearing someone in the bathroom. Sitting up, he listened closer and realised whoever it was, was throwing up. Quickly getting to his feet, Gibbs left the room and walked across the hall. Looking down he saw Kate's door ajar,
"Kate… Are you ok?" he asked softly, knocking on the bathroom door.
"No," she groaned from inside. Gibbs waited by the door and minutes later she swung it open. He smiled faintly staring at her wearing a sleeveless USC no. 22 shirt. "I had a stomach bug a couple of nights back. I thought I'd passed but obviously not," Kate said and rushed back to the toilet. Gibbs nodded his head and quickly entered the room. He moved over to where Kate was and lightly rubbed her back.
"Do you want a drink of water or something?" he asked, bending down beside her.
"That would be nice," Kate smiled up at Gibbs.
"Ok," Gibbs said and quickly disappeared. He returned moments later carrying a glass of water. Kate took the glass from Gibbs and drunk it all. She quickly moved to the sink and filled it up again. "Come on, you should probably get some sleep," Gibbs said guiding her back to his room. Kate stopped and the door and looked at him. "Just for tonight," he smiled faintly.
"I don't know," Kate muttered chewing on her lip.
"Nothing will happen. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone there in case you felt sick again?" Gibbs queried.
"I guess," Kate nodded, placing the half empty glass on the bedside table and quickly crawled under the covers. Kate felt the bed dip as Gibbs climbed in as well. Taking a deep breath she rolled over and rested her head on his shoulder. "Just for tonight," she mumbled, closing her eyes.
"Good night, Kate," he whispered, lightly, kissing her head.
