Pairing: Tabby (TonyxAbby)-NCIS
Theme #2-Love
Did he love her? Well, that was a difficult question. They'd been together for a few months, but it had been going well. He knew she loved him because she always told him, but she also always told that to McGee, Ziva, Ducky, Gibbs, and even Palmer. He knew that she did love them all, but he hoped that she loved him in a different way.
He thought he loved her; actually, he was pretty sure. He had only ever felt this way about one other woman, Jeanne, and he knew that that was love. On the other hand, that relationship didn't turn out so well. True, he was an undercover agent, and had pretty much lied about his entire identity since they first met, but still. He had actually fallen for her.
But at the same time, he knew that this was completely different. Somehow, this relationship felt much moreā¦.honest. Considering she knew who he truly was and had known him for eight years he could understand where that feeling came from. In the end, he found that it felt much better to be with someone who knew the real him. Someone smart, funny, and maybe a little crazy. Someone like Abby.
She was everything he needed. Everything he wanted. Best of all, she was his.
Yes, he knew the answer to the question. As she cuddled up to his side, he couldn't keep the feelings he felt inside him any longer. So, he squeezed her to himself, and looked down into those beautiful green eyes of hers.
"I love you."
