Tim walked into the house, exhausted, and ready to pass out. He had been at work later than the others with making up his workload. He had been on medical leave for an injury he received on duty and finally came back to work that day. And he was in no mood to let the paperwork wait even longer and him try and rush it—plus he wasn't about to let an injury have him behind—so he had stayed later than the others to at least get the bulk of it done so all he had to do was add a few little things tomorrow and he'd be done.

Shutting the door, he almost headed for the stairs when he glanced into the living room and saw the man lying on the couch. Shaking his head, he walked over and after placing his coat over the chair, he sat beside the man's hip. Softly smiling, he reached out and thread his fingers through the silver hair.

It was a testament to how far they've come and how much the man knew his touch when he didn't wake and instinctively grab his wrist to stop him. He didn't know how many times he's waken the older man with the slightest move and how many times what he wanted to be a soothing touch turned into his wrist almost being snapped.

He really didn't want to—he looked so peaceful—but he had to wake him. The couch wasn't for sleeping and he would regret it in the morning if he stayed. So, gently moving his hand to his shoulder, he shook him. "Jethro."

Jethro hummed.

"Jethro, come on wake up."

Blue eyes blinked open before staring up at him. "Hey."

"Hey," he smiled. "Let's go to bed."

Rolling up, Jethro got off the couch and they made their way to their bedroom. It wasn't long before Tim showered, changed, and slipped onto the bed beside Jethro who was already asleep. He turned on his side to face Jethro, and without hesitating, he wrapped his arm and leg around his husband of three years and rested his head on his chest.

With a final kiss and, "I love you," he fell asleep to the sound of Jethro's heartbeat.

Gibbs spread the sheet out for Tim who stood on the other side of the bed. He caught the ends before they each tucked the corners under the bed. "I was thinking that for dinner on Friday we have pizza. Tony will enjoy it and Ziva will have fun helping me make it. Not to mention she and I wanted to try something a bit different."

He grabbed the top sheet and did the same thing. Gibbs passed Tim's side to him and they spread the sheet before tucking the ends in before moving to the comforter.

"Then, on Saturday, you have to pick up Jack from the airport and while you do that," he caught his pillowcase that Gibbs passed him, "I can start making preparations for the barbeque. I mean, it won't be much since it's basically just the team and Vance's family, and they're each bringing something, but still, you can't start too early right?" He grinned.

Gibbs blinked when they finished the bed and he listened to Tim continue going over their plans for the weekend. They had been dating a while now, but it hadn't been anything really serious. At least, that was what he thought. He looked down at the bed they just made and the pile of laundry they planned to put away soon, laundry that was half Tim's, and he listened to Tim rattle off suggestions for maybe inviting kids and their families from the neighborhood so that Vance's kids wouldn't be alone.

He remembered when some of his ex-wives thought to throw a neighborhood party and he had quickly stopped that from taking off. Yet Tim was suggesting it and he found himself oddly agreeing. He had almost had a heart attack a few times when he was dating his ex-wives and he saw their stuff making their way into his house. Yet almost all of Tim's stuff had made their way into his home and he couldn't imagine it not being there.

He couldn't imagine going to the bathroom to brush his teeth and not seeing that extra toothbrush or that extra towel hanging up. He couldn't imagine sitting in the living room and not seeing his and Tim's books they were reading at the time on the coffee table together.

"So what you do you think?"

Staring into those green eyes, he answered, "I love you."

Tim slowly smiled. "I love you too."
