A/N: Just some random fluff. I can't remember what even sparked this but it happened. It is set in the earlier part of their relationship which is why Sammy is a little awkward. I hope you like it though!
oOoOoOo
Baths and Bedtime
oOoOoOo
Sammy dropped onto the couch beside Gibbs with a groan. It had officially been over 24 hours that they'd been p and half of that was spent staked out in front of their suspect's house in a company sedan. She could tell Gibbs was just as sore as she was from his body language.
"So this is a totally weird request and I know it is but…" Sammy started before Gibbs cut her off.
"You're rambling," Gibbs said with a sigh. "Just ask."
"Oh uh I kinda wanna take a bath," Sammy mumbled as she felt her cheeks getting warm. "But not alone."
"Alright, come on," Gibbs said as he hoisted himself up and held a hand out to her.
Sammy took his hand and let him pull her up. She was relieved he had said yes. As they got up the stairs Gibbs send Sammy to undress while he started the bath running.
oOoOoOo
10 minutes later they were settled in the steaming water; Gibbs against the tub and Sammy resting back on his chest.
"This was a great idea," Sammy mumbled breathily.
"Hmm," Gibbs hummed in agreement.
Sammy reached up to lace fingers with him before relaxing further into him and closing her eyes. Gibbs planted a kiss on the top of her head then leaned his head back against the wall. They stayed like that in silence until the water started to cool off.
"Ok let's go to bed," Gibbs said as he gently nudged Sammy.
"Ok," Sammy mumbled around a yawn.
They climbed out of the tub and toweled off before heading to get dressed.
Sammy pulled one of his NIS shirts on and a spare pair of panties, from the stash she had started keeping at his house, then crawled under the covers. Gibbs found a tshirt and a pair of boxers to pull on before hitting the lights and crawling in beside her. He took a minute to find a comfortable position for his knee before settling for straightening it out and throwing the other over Sammy's hips when she settled back against his chest.
"You ok like this?" Gibbs asked softly.
"Mhm," Sammy humed.
She laced fingers with him again and rested their joined hands against her chest. Gibbs buried his nose in her hair and they both drifted off to sleep mumbling sleepy I love yous right before they dosed off.
oOoOoOo
