AN: Let the Season 8 Tag-ness commence! For those of you new to the series, I do my best to create tags from quotes within an episode, before a new episode airs. There will be various ships (always notated, never slash) and different genres as well. Requests are welcomed but not guarenteed :). Now onto the first tags of Season eight...two Gabby friendships to start, but rest assured, there are more to come! Enjoy!
Gibbs: Not gonna let anything happen to you.
"Wish you didn't have to keep making that promise."
Gibbs sat with his hands folded. "You're not the only one Abs."
She sent him a trying smile. "Thanks for stopping by…but you know me. Just hearing your voice on the phone doesn't cut it after near death experiences…"
"I know."
"Wish you'd stop having those."
"Wishing a lot tonight Abs."
"Sorry," she started to pace behind the couch. "I always get a little wishy-washy after drama goes down…not that I haven't gotten less wishy washier over the years…I just cant help myself. I mean, first I have to investigate you…then maybe put you in prison…then there was that hug and you saying your sorry…then I had a body guard for four months...who by the way, wouldn't even leave to get me a Caf Pow…then I have a doll on my windshield…"
She stopped mid rant when Gibbs appeared in front of her.
"Wish you didn't have to leave for Still water…"
He watched her take in a breath. "It's not forever, Abs."
"Bet it's gonna feel like it."
Gibbs let his expression speak for itself.
"Yeah, I know…you'll call every night."
He managed a smile as he nodded towards her. "Get some sleep."
"No chance I can get you to crash on the couch huh?" She gauged his expression. "Maybe after the next disaster?"
Gibbs pulled her into an unexpected embrace, like only he could. "I keep my promises."
"I know."
She watched him move towards the door and called back.
"Every night right?"
It was then he signed two simple words. "I promise."
