When Wishes and Dreams Come True
Chapter 2.
After the dream:
As things go Tony is the hero of the hour, as luckily he managed to get the both of them clear of the cars path. So all the two of them come away with are just cuts and bruises from them both hitting the ground. The car driver himself ended up losing control of the car and crashed, so the agents that were outside and witnessed the incident both went and checked on Tony and Gibbs, as well as getting the driver.
Once Tony and Gibbs were inside they went to get checked out by Ducky, who gives them the all clear, but does tell them to go home and get some rest. As Vance walks in to hear Ducky's advice, he tells them to do as he says and go home. Especially as he's already sorted it out for McGee to take them home anyway. They can handle the investigation between them because it does look like the case will be just cut and shut. Because the driver of the car was the husband from the case before their last one. His wife's trial had finished that day with her being found guilty and sentenced to fifty years in prison. The husband hadn't taken things well and blamed both Tony and Gibbs for taking away the mother of his children. So it was appearing that he was doing it for revenge. After agreeing to go home, as McGee drove them Gibbs also insisted that Tony went home with him.
Even though it wasn't in the way he wanted it to happen the events of the day had shaken the both of them up, so finally it lead to the truth coming out. When they first got in the house Gibbs got them both a bourbon, which they had before he got them something to eat, which they ate in an uneasy silence. When they'd finished eating, Gibbs said that he was going down in the basement and Tony could join him anytime he wanted too.
In the end as the shock had made Tony feel exhausted, he settled down to sleep on the sofa. The only trouble was that the days events did end up sparking off a nightmare. In it the events of the day kept replaying over again. Except this time Gibbs hadn't heard his yell and Tony hadn't got to him in time either, so Gibbs was hit by the car. As he awoke with a jump, what Tony hadn't realized was that he'd been murmuring, which had just been loud enough for Gibbs to have heard in the basement. So because of that Gibbs had started to make his way up the stairs to check on Tony. As he'd woken with his jump Tony had also yelled out "Gibbs!" So Gibbs then ran up the remaining stairs to get to Tony's side. Which had been lucky he had done that, because the nightmare had set off a panic attack so Gibbs found him fighting for his breath. So Gibbs knelt on the floor in front of him and just threw caution to the wind as he also took Tony's hands in his as he says "Come on Tony, look at me, I'm here and we're both safe. Just watch and breathe with me. It took a while, but in the end they got there and Tony got completely calmed down once again. After then getting him a drink of water and telling him to take it slowly, Gibbs then sat next to him on the sofa and took Tony's hand as he looked him right in the eye and says "So are you going to now tell me what all this is about?" At first Tony just remained quiet, but Gibbs could tell that Tony was trying to wrestle with everything going on in his head, as he starts to slowly rub his thumb across the knuckles of the hand that's in his. Eventually as he can't unusually find a way to put things into words, he puts the glass of water down and then edges along the sofa towards Gibbs. He then bought them together in a very gentle kiss. As they broke apart he then cupped Gibbs cheek and says "I love you, have done for years now, but never thought that you would feel the same way too."
Gibbs replies "I do love you too Tony. I think I have done since the moment we first met and over the years it's just grown and grown. So what has today been all about?"
Tony says with a sly smile "Just don't laugh at me."
Gibbs says with a sigh "I'll try not to."
Tony says "It was the dreams."
"The dreams?!" And because of the slight smirk that Gibbs has on his face as he says it, Tony delivers just a soft Gibbs slap to him and then carries on with what he was going to say before the interruption "I've been having them for years, but just recently they've become more frequent and this weekend they just wouldn't stop. Last night I hardly slept because they were everything I wanted for us, but I never thought that you could feel the same way too. I know that it was stupid, but because of the not sleeping well I was just feeling so off that I was scared that if I admitted things to you, didn't feel the same way too and had let me down gently, I would've broken down and not come back from it. Not only that it's hard to come out with how I've been feeling about you, when you have the kind of dreams that I've been having about you."
Gibbs then surprises him slightly as he says "I can possibly guess, seeing as I've also been having some dreams about us too. I also guessed that was why you're head wasn't on straight today, especially when you couldn't tell me what was going on in there."
Tony does a slight smile as he then says "My head wasn't, other than at the time when it was needed of course!"
"And we were both very lucky that you're head did come right at that moment. Was that what your nightmare was about?"
Tony answers "Yep, except this time I didn't get there in time and I think you can probably guess what happened instead, which of course also happened without you knowing how I felt."
Gibbs says seriously "Well it didn't happen and you kept us both safe and sound for our future." As he then takes Tony's hand and entwined their fingers as he then added "And I promise you that we do have a future together. I love you and we've just wasted so much time already and I do want too be with you."
"I love you too and want to be with you too Jethro." As they then go in for another kiss, this time it's just a long and slow passionate kiss and filled with the love that they have for one another; they only break apart when they both run out of breath.
After that the two of them spend the day talking and celebrating them being together in their new relationship. That night they go to bed together for the first time, but nothing more than kissing and a bit of just exploring each other's bodies with their hands happens. After one last final kiss and them saying "I love you." To one another as they cuddle up together. Tony sighs happily as he thinks how lucky it was that dreams can come true!
A/N: So there we have it, that I'm afraid is the end of this story and I hope that you enjoy it! Will I be exploring this world of Tony and Gibbs again? You never know I might just do that, you'll just have to wait and see! Xxx. :-)
