It was a day after Kate's death and Anthony DiNozzo was miserable like everyone else. But his sadness was different. It was like the time his mother had died. There was someone who was responsible for this but he had run away. Like his father who was responsible for hers.
A week later when Ari Haswari was killed, nothing had changed for him. This was the reason of his travel to England. Meantime he came across a guy with whitish blond hair and blue eyes and a creature. When his almost forgotten skills and anger came back to him, he didn't even hesitate to use them and attack that creature himself.
One of the things that his teammates didn't know was him being a whitelighter. Unlike the guy he came across, he had died before he had been given the whitelighter skills. That was a secret too. In his life, there were too many secrets. That was why he was so good at lying and undercover operations.
This guy, Draco Malfoy soon became his friend. He wasn't very different from Tony after all. Similar pasts, similar families, and lots of different things made them get closer. It was then, Tony accepted his sexual preference.
The only one knew that he was gay was Abby. She had discovered it when he asked her to see a movie. She had found a very intimate photo of him and Draco. He had scared that this could change Abby's thoughts about him, but she accepted with her whole heart without questioning further. After she had promised that she would tell no one, he was peaceful again. But his condition wouldn't last very long.
