My Boyfriend's Back- An NCIS fanfiction.

AN: Hey people, this is my first fanfiction so please be nice. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Chapter One

Tim sat at his desk in the bullpen writing up his report on their latest case. It was a particularly taxing one on Tim as it hit close to home for him. A marine had been murdered while on leave visiting his boyfriend. The crime was particularly brutal, as before his death the marine had had the word 'queer' engraved into his chest several times. He was then stabbed in the neck and bled out. What was even more shocking for the team was that it was actually the marine's boyfriend that had committed the murder. Tim had wanted nothing more than to go home and relax for the night trying to forget the events that occurred, but unfortunately that was not to be as Abby was now ordering everyone to come out for post-case drinks.

"Oh come on guys, after a case like this we really should try to vent a little." Abby pleaded, it was unnecessary though, as soon as she suggested it the whole team seemed to take to the idea. Well except for Tim.

"Sure Abs, we'll be there. Where are we going this time?" Tony asked, obviously thinking about all the hot girls that would be out on a Friday night.

Abby named the pub where they would all meet up and was about to walk off back to her lab to finish for the weekend before Tim spoke up, stopping her in her tracks. "I don't think that I will be able to make it tonight Abby." He said looking at her faking a disappointed look.

"What? Tim seriously, we all need to relax after what happened today. Especially you." Abby said giving him a knowing look. She had been the only one that Tim had told he was gay and she liked to bribe him with it occasionally. Tim knew she would never really follow through with any of her threats though, Abby was not someone who went spreading other people's secrets. Although he suspected that she had told Kate shortly before her death as she began acting differently towards him and even once invited him to go shopping with her.

"I know, and it sounds really fun, but I have plans already." Tim finished off, hoping that she would not inquire as to what those plans were.

"Plans?" Abby was obviously not going to let it rest. "What kind of plans? Why did you not tell me earlier that you had plans?"

Tim stared at her for a while wondering when exactly he had become obligated to tell her about everything that was happening in his life. "Just plans Abs, it didn't really come up because I was a little pre occupied with the case ok? Is that a good enough reason for you or do you need a permission note from my mother?" Tim snapped back, still in a bad mood.

"Ok McNasty, take a chill pill." DiNozzo stepped in trying to avoid an argument. "It's fine if you have plans, we will just celebrate a job well done without you."

"A job well done?!?" Tim yelled "A guy was murdered by someone who is meant to love him unconditionally and you want to celebrate that? You guys are so shallow." Before anyone could respond Tim gathered up his belongings, storming out of the bullpen, getting in the elevator and heading home.

It was Ziva who broke the silence "What has got his shoe laces in a twist?"

"Nickers" Tony and Abby replied subconsciously.

"What?"

"It's nickers in a twist, not shoelaces."

"Whatever."

Just then Gibbs decided to make his entrance coming back from a meeting with the director. He looked briefly at McGee's desk, then at Abby who was looking a little upset. "Where's McGee?" He asked.

"Acting like a stubborn teenager! He's gone home!" Abby said "We are all going out for drinks later, well except for McGee. Would you like to join us?"

Gibbs looked up at Abby deciding that he rather liked the idea of getting drunk tonight "Hell, why not? We have the weekend off after all."

"Great. I'm going to autopsy to ask Ducky and Palmer if they would like to go now, is there anything you would like me to ask them while I'm down there?" Abby appeared to have lost all the anger she was feeling when Gibbs had agreed to come out with them.

"No thanks Abs, we have everything we need." Gibbs said and watched Abby practically bounce over to the elevator.

Gibbs then rounded on the remaining members of his team wanting to know exactly what had transpired between his two, usually very close, team members. "What was that all about?"

"I'm not really sure, one minute Abby was inviting us all out for drinks and the next McGee just started arguing with her. He said that we were all shallow for wanting to celebrate the fact that we found the marine's killer." Ziva said, very unsure of what had upset McGee so much that he would call them shallow. He had always been such a gentleman to her and Abby.

Gibbs looked at Tony for confirmation. "Yeah boss, I didn't get it either" He said answering Gibbs unasked question. "He just kind of got really angry. Then he stormed off out of the office."

"Did he finish his report?"

"Don't think so boss."

Gibbs made a mental note to himself to call his youngest agent at some point during the night to make sure that everything was ok, and to remind him that he wanted that report on his desk by Monday morning or he would be in trouble.

The team finished their work in silence, each of them wondering what had caused McGee to lash out like that. Abby was his best friend wasn't she? Why would he be yelling at her for wanting to go out drinking with them?

When they had each finished their reports, they headed for the door deciding to meet up in an hour at the pub that Abby had suggested. This would give them time to shower and change, maybe get a bite to eat.

Tim on the other hand had driven home, trying to get his mind around the events of the day. Questions kept spinning around in his mind. Why would you kill someone you claim to love? How could you think that by killing them, you are doing them a favour? How could anyone think that they have the right to murder someone because of their lifestyle choices? Why would you assume you have the authority to decide when it is another person's time to go? With these thoughts running through his mind, he just collapsed on his bed fully clothed for a restless night while his friends drank to the life of the young marine.

Well that's the first chapter, hope you liked it. I sure had fun writting it. I know it's a little short, I will try to write longer ones in the future.
