Tony looked up as it neared midnight on a Friday night, the bullpen was deserted and he was once again the last to leave. Gibbs had been in fine form today after wrapping up a long murder case of a young petty officer he had snarled at Tony to finish his report and go over McGee's and Ziva's reports before he went home, then he stormed away. For the past month Gibbs had ridden him harder than normal almost as if he was punishing Tony and he couldn't figure out what he had done, it had gotten so bad the others including Abby and Ducky had asked him what he had done to so piss the boss off. All he could do was think back on how he has acted and hope that he hasn't done or said anything to Gibbs that would let the older man know that he wanted more than to be coworkers. As Tony powered down his computer he looked around once again and thought to himself that maybe it was time to move on, he had been with NCIS and Gibbs for ten years which was the longest he had ever stayed in one place, even when younger he changed schools every couple of years. Jimmy was the only one who knew about how he felt about Gibbs and he kept telling Tony to let it go and move on, Jimmy even went so far as to try to set Tony up with some of his friends, both male and female in the hope that Tony would find someone and have his happily ever after.

Saturday night found Tony at the top of the stairs leading to Gibbs basement which wasn't unusual.
'You coming down any time soon DiNozzo?' came a gruff call from below.
'On it boss' Tony replied out of habit, before practically jogging down the steps
'Well, what is it? No date tonight' Gibbs asked after a few minutes of silence.
'No, not tonight. But I came here to tell you a couple of things' Tony explained unable to meet his eyes in fear that he would back out and not tell the man what he needed.
'Well what is it DiNozzo or do I have to guess?' Gibbs barked after taking another swallow of his bourbon.
Tony walked over to the work bench and started to fiddle with a sanding block before he began 'Boss, well Gibbs you see, well I kind of have feelings for you as in more than friends and I know you don't feel the same especially after how you've acted towards me this last week, so I've decided to leave NCIS and the team you will have my resignation on your desk Monday morning' Looking up he saw the look of shock and something else cross Gibbs face but before he could figure it out it was gone.
'Tony...' Gibbs started to say before Tony cut him off.
'I should go now' he blurted out before rushing up the stairs and out of the house before Gibbs could even react.

Getting in his car Tony drove for what felt like hours before he came to the small bar at the edge of town called 'Covert Cover' that he frequented when he wanted a quite drink on his own. Walking in Tony sat at his usual spot where he could watch the door and darkened room before he signaled for a beer, placing a few bills on the bar. 'Keep them coming.'
'Hard night friend? I'm Bradley by the way.' The bar tender offered with a grin and hand shake.
'Your new, I'm Tony, and yeah I quit my job and confessed my feelings to my male boss, so all in all a shit night.'
'Your right that is a shit night' with that he nodded and wondered off to serve another patron down bar. Tony was staring into his fifth beer when out of the corner of his eye he saw a familiar figure in the door way the figure headed his way causing him to stare even harder at the remains of his warming beer.
'How did you find me? Why did you find me?' He asked without even looking up.
'Never assume DiNozzo' Gibbs growled as he stepped up close behind Tony, who had yet to look up.
'Boss? With that Tony finally turned around and looked up meeting Gibbs steel blue eyes noticing that very little color was visible around his blown pupil's. Before he could speak Gibbs pulled Tony to his feet and in to a fierce kiss only pulling away with the need to breathe.
'I want you and I want you to stay. I can't lose you, nobody else can watch my back like you.' Gibbs stated before leaning in to catch Tony's lips again. 'Come home with me so I can prove it to you again and again and again' he punctuated each 'again' with a searing kiss.
'Yes' Tony breathed, as Gibbs pulled Tony towards the door he called out 'Keep the change Bradley my night just got a hell of a lot better.' with that Gibbs pushed Tony outside and up against his car door where he proceeded to place open mouth kisses down Tony's jaw.
'Get in' the older man ordered before rushing to the driver's side. Once they were both in Gibbs stole another kiss, this time he slipped his tongue passed Tony's lips to map out his mouth and get a better taste of the younger man. 'The second I get you home I'm gonna taste every inch of you.' and with that statement Gibbs gunned the engine and tore down the street trying to get home as fast as possible.

They were almost to the house when Tony looked up from his lap where he had been fidgeting with the hem of his shirt to let out a terrified yell but even with that as warning Gibbs had no time to react as another car plowed in to the passenger door sending the car sliding across the street. When Gibbs woke he found himself in the back of an ambulance with the paramedic leaning over him telling him it would be okay and they were on their way to the hospital. His only thought tho was for the man he wanted to be his lover, Gibbs tried to ask if Tony was alive and if so how badly hurt, however the only sound that came put was a moan that caused shooting pains through out his chest. Even unable to talk the EMT guessed what Gibbs was asking 'You friend is alive, he has a bad head injury, broken arm and possible internal injuries, I helped check him over before he was loaded into the other ambulance. They will be able to tell you more at the hospital after you've been seen to, now you need to relax and try to breathe normally you have at least two broken ribs.

The ambulance pulled into the hospital and Gibbs was wheeled in to the emergence department just in time to see Tony being rushed out of the room surrounded by people and machines with someone kneeling on the gurney massaging his heart keeping it going. A few minutes later after recovering from the shock of seeing this Gibbs asked the doctor that had introduced himself as Doctor Brian Rivers 'Whats happening to Tony? is he going to be alright?'
Looking up from the chart in front of him he simply stated 'Sorry Agent Gibbs but all I know is that he is being rushed to surgery. Do you know if there is anyone we can contact for him?' after a moment of thought Gibbs replied 'No, but I'm his boss so he wont have a problem with me being kept apprised of his condition.'
'That wont be a problem then. A nurse will be along shortly to ask you some questions and get you admitted, once all the tests that I've ordered are done and your settled in your room I will come check on you and update you on whats happening with Tony.'

Several hours later morning had dawned and Gibbs was in a private room waiting for Abby to show up knowing McGee would have called her after Gibbs had let him and Ziva know what had happened, when Doctor River walked.'Is he alright?' Gibbs asked immediately. Just as the doctor opened his mouth to speak a streak of black shot passed him and landed on Gibbs lap followed by a more sedate McGee, Ziva and Ducky even Palmer was there. Before anyone could even draw breath Abby started talking rapidly 'Oh God Gibbs are you okay? What happened? your not dying are you? I couldn't be happy without you, you can't die, your Gibbs.' taking a short breath Abby finally asked in a small voice 'Where is Tony?'
Wincing slightly Gibbs started 'Abby I'm fine just watch the ribs their broken and Doctor Rivers was about to fill me in about DiNozzo. So shush' with that he placed a finger on her lips to silence her.
'Yes well as I was saying Tony is out of surgery, he had some internal bleeding, broken ribs on his right side, a broken arm and cuts and bruises that required some stitches. However what worries me is Tony took a blow to the head that cracked his skull coupled with the oxygen deprivation, there maybe some brain damage or even memory loss, we wont know more until he wakes up, he is in HDU (high Dependency unit) until he wakes up so only immediate family can visit him until we move him to a ward' he explained as simply as possible. 'Now about you, your list of injuries isn't as long, you have a concussion, four broken ribs and a verity of cuts and bruises, you will need to take it easy for a few weeks but I am willing to release you in 24 hours, do you have any questions?' when he got no response he continued on 'get some rest then I will see you in a few hours when I do my rounds.'
Abby was openly crying by this point so Gibbs caught Ducky's eye asking him to take care of Abby for him. Stepping forward Ducky helped Abby off the bed murmuring 'Come on Abigail dear let Jethro get some rest we can come back this afternoon with flowers, and I will check on our Anthony before we go, I'm sure we can persuade the nurses to let us see him for just a few moments.'
Once they had left the room Gibbs turned to Ziva and McGee the look on his battered face serious 'I want to know everything about that driver including background and financials I also want to know what is happening with the investigation in to the accident. I don't know what it is but my gut says something isn't right and I want to know what it is.'
'Yes Boss, on it' was echoed by the two agents followed by 'get some rest Gibbs' from a worried looking Ziva 'Do my best' was the simple reply. As the two agents left Gibbs drifted off to sleep promising to himself to check on Tony the moment he woke up.
