Tony woke up around three in the morning with a loud pounding in his head and a queasy stomach "Oh no…" Tony moaned as he rolled off the bed as quickly as his lead-like body would allow for him, then dropped to his knees, heaving slightly as he crawled towards the bathroom on the other side of the room "Tone…" Gibbs grumbled as he looked at the shadowy figure of his lover crawling into the bathroom, he sighed and tossed back the covers and headed downstairs, he started the coffee pot early and then filled a glass with water and grabbed the bottle of ibuprofen and headed back upstairs.

When Tony came back out into the bedroom, arm wrapped around his stomach, he smiled wearily at the sight in front of him "Knew you'd have a bad hangover… Didn't expect it to be this bad though." Gibbs said softly as he offered the pill bottle and water to Tony. Tony shook his head and took the water and pill bottle, "Never threw up like that before…" Tony whispered as he downed four pills and the water in one large swig, "You wanna lay back down? Still have a good five hours before you have to wake up." Gibbs asked, holding his hand out towards Tony, shaking his head, Tony grabbed Gibbs' hand and pulled the older gentleman up to him and smiled "Nah, there's other things I'd rather do." Tony said softly as he rubbed his thumb across Gibbs' jaw softly, Gibbs raised an eyebrow "Oh, and what is it that you'd like to do?" Gibbs asked, Tony chuckled as he rested his hand on Gibbs' shoulder "Lay down… Cuddle… and… maybe make out like two love-sick teenagers?" Tony suggested with a shrug of his shoulders, Gibbs smirked and nodded as he wrapped his arms around Tony's body and kissed him soundly, then moved them towards the bed.

When the alarm clock went off several hours later, Gibbs groaned as he sat up slightly, Tony was sleeping in between his legs, head on Gibbs' thigh, he reached down and gently ran his fingers through Tony's hair "Tony, it's time to get up… C'mon." Gibbs said as he gently shook Tony's shoulder, Tony moaned and stretched out slightly, "What time is it?" Tony mumbled as he slowly sat up, running a hand through his bed-tousled hair, "A little after six. C'mon… I need to go set the coffee pot up again… I thought I'd stay awake and started the pot at three… But then someone put me back to sleep." Gibbs said with a chuckle, Tony smirked and turned his head towards Gibbs "Hm, and I wonder who did such a thing!" Tony quipped as he slid off the bed and pulled his discarded boxers back on with a snap to his hips, Gibbs laughed as he climbed off the bed and stood behind Tony, resting his hands on both sides of the younger man's hips, "No tellin' who did it… But, it's fine by me." Gibbs whispered against the back of Tony's ear. Tony smiled and turned his head, kissing Gibbs long and slow then pulled back "Morning." Tony whispered, Gibbs nodded and kissed the side of Tony's nose, "It is always a good morning when I wake up with you." Gibbs said as he slapped Tony's hips lightly then headed downstairs while Tony headed for the shower.

When they got to work that morning, there was a note left on both Tony and Gibbs' desk telling them that their presence was required in Vance's office immediately, so Tony and Gibbs trotted up the stairs and into Vance's outer office "He is inside and waiting for both of you." Cynthia announced with a smile on her face, Gibbs nodded and walked straight into Vance's office, Tony followed a few seconds later after exchanging pleasantries with Cynthia. Vance stood up and walked over to the conference table, pulling out three chairs "Sit, please." Vance said quietly as he flipped open the box of fresh Dunkin Donuts "Sweet!" Tony exclaimed as he sat down and grabbed a chocolate glazed donut and merrily chewed on it, "So… You have options…" Vance said as he took his seat, Gibbs raised an eyebrow and sat down next to Tony and reached across to a cup of coffee with his name scrawled on the side of it, "What kind of options?" Gibbs asked, leaning back in the chair and sipping the coffee, Vance leaned back and sipped his own brew "More so these options are for DiNozzo… As I'm sure neither of you want to leave the DC area, or retire… I had to get a little creative and think inside and only slightly outside the box." Vance said as he withdrew a toothpick from his pocket.

Tony sat up and swiped his hands and mouth on a napkin, swallowed a few sips of coffee then cleared his throat "I don't want to leave DC, at all – and retiring, for either of us, is preposterous now… Gibbs is still in his prime, and I'm far too young." Tony stated, staring directly at Vance, the vein in his forehead throbbing slightly, Vance rose his hands in surrender "Hey, whoa… I'm not trying to ship you off anywhere, nor am I forcing anyone's hand in retiring Tony…" Vance said placatingly, Tony snorted and leaned back in the chair again, nodding his head, Vance raised an eyebrow and spared a glance at Gibbs who was just smirking and sipping – or maybe not sipping, never knew with him – his coffee "To hell with the options… I think the best course of action is to just expand the MCRT… Two team leaders…" Vance said, pointing between Gibbs and Tony "And four new agents on the team… How does that sound?" Vance asked curiously, Tony and Gibbs looked at each other and sighed, "We still have the power to choose our own team members?" Tony asked, Vance nodded "Of course." He replied, "And if they don't work out, we can boot them and start fresh with another agent?" Gibbs asked, his eyes still on Tony's eyes, "Yes." Vance replied, Gibbs and Tony both nodded and turned back towards Vance "And I'll be the same rank as Gibbs, as in a promotion… Pay raise, everything?" Tony asked, Vance nodded again and smiled "Yes. Does this mean you'll take it?" Vance asked with a hopeful tone, Tony sighed and nodded his head slowly in acceptance.

Tony and Gibbs stood outside of Vance's office on the catwalk, Tony shifting through the stack of probationary agents, "So, if he had offered you your chance at your own team, in DC… Would you have taken it?" Gibbs asked as he looked through his own stack of candidates, Tony shook his head and held the files underneath his arm "Not a snowballs chance in hell… I love working for you… With you… On this team." Tony said softly as he turned towards the stairs and grabbed Gibbs' wrist, pulling him along, "So, now we have to find four new team members… That seems like a lot…" Gibbs said as he stood in the center of the bullpen, Tony chuckled and shrugged his shoulders "Not really… Two team leaders, three team members per team leader… Seems like legit math to me." Tony said with a grin on his face, Gibbs reached up with one of the files and slapped Tony in the back of the head lightly with it, "We should think about redesigning the area… Put our desks together." Gibbs said with a grin, Tony shook his head "Nuh uh, bad idea. We would never get any work done sitting directly across from each other like that…" Tony said as he looked around the bullpen briefly "Nope… I think we'll figure this out when we figure out the new team members." Tony added as he set his stack of personnel files down, Gibbs nodded his agreement and smiled.

The work day went by slowly with no new cases, Tony and Gibbs had gone through their stacks of personnel file and reduced a stack of forty down to a stack of ten while McGee and Ellie worked on cold case files. The immediate team knew of the changes coming to the MCRT and were excited about the changes to come, the end of the day had already passed on, Tony and Gibbs were still in the building sifting through the files, sitting side by side on the floor against the filing cabinets. Gibbs yawned and closed his eyes "Ready to go home yet?" Tony asked softly, Gibbs nodded and laid his head against Tony's shoulder "We should have gone home three hours ago… when everyone else went home." Gibbs said tiredly, Tony laughed and kissed the top of Gibbs' head "Mhm, well, c'mon… We've got our four candidates, let's go get some dinner and head home." Tony said softly, Gibbs nodded again and slowly stood up, then held his hand out to Tony. Tony smiled as he placed his hand into Gibbs' hand and pulled himself up off the floor, then leaned against Gibbs' side as the two of them walked through the bullpen and to the elevator, the men stayed silent and held onto each other until they were sitting in the living room of Tony's apartment with Chinese take-out in their laps.

Tony stuffed a mouthful of Kung-Pao Chicken into his mouth and moaned pleasurably as the food slid down his throat, "God… need to really stop skipping meals." Tony stated as he washed his throat down with beer, Gibbs chuckled and shook his head as he ate a few pieces of his own meal "I offered to buy lunch, but I don't even think the words registered past your outer ear this afternoon." Gibbs said quietly, Tony frowned and set his box of food down and turned to Gibbs, "Did you? Aw, jeez… I'm sorry I got so tied up in the personnel files." Tony said as he leaned over the few inches between them and kissed the corner of Gibbs' mouth. Gibbs nudged Tony away and grinned "Stop, I'm tryin' to eat here!" Gibbs protested half-heartedly as he stuck some more of his beef into his mouth, Tony shrugged and kissed Gibbs again, this time fully on the lips, "Your dinner tastes better on your lips." Tony murmured, Gibbs laughed and pushed Tony away again "So, you really want to take a chance on Ned?" Tony asked, turning serious again as he grabbed his dinner and resumed eating, Gibbs nodded and grinned lightly "Hell yeah… You know he has a crush on you right?" Gibbs asked with a raised eyebrow, Tony nodded and smirked around a bite of his food "Mhm, I know… Too bad I'm in the best committed relationship of my life…" Tony said as he licked his lips slowly.

Gibbs set his empty food carton down on the coffee table and then turned and faced Tony with a devilish smirk on his face, "Nuh uh! I let you eat, now you let me finish!" Tony stated, wagging his finger at Gibbs to ward off his devious thoughts, Gibbs laughed and leaned forward, wrapping his lips around Tony's finger, gently nibbling and sucking on the digit, "Jethroooo!" Tony whined, squirming on the couch as he settled the carton on the side table and turned himself to face Gibbs again "Better." Gibb murmured as he released Tony's finger and lunged forward, knocking Tony backwards onto the couch as their lips locked in a passionate and steamy kiss. Tony moaned into Gibbs' mouth as he clawed at Gibbs' shirt, pulling it up and sliding his hands against the smooth planes of Gibbs' back. Gibbs groaned as he rolled his hips against Tony's body and pressed his palms against the arm of the couch, Tony's fingers slid between their bodies and deftly undid Gibbs' jeans button and zipper, "Jeth…" Tony gasped out as Gibbs moved his mouth down to Tony's neck, gently nipping and sucking at the flesh. Gibbs grinned as he sank his teeth roughly into Tony's skin and felt Tony's hips buck upward, the younger man moaning loudly as his hands clutched onto Gibbs' hips.

Tony scooted down to lay flat on the couch, and Gibbs moved with him, they removed all articles of clothing, leaving them in a pile on the floor beside the coffee table, and Gibbs' lips and hands were everywhere, kissing and caressing smooth and heated flesh, Tony was writhing and moaning, fingers tightly wrapped around the arm of the couch. Gibbs looked up from Tony's belly button and smirked "Hand me your beer." Gibbs said softly, holding his hand out, Tony nodded and reached over to the coffee table, grabbing the beer bottle and placing it into Gibbs' hand. Gibbs took a swig of the beer and swallowed it down, then took another swig and set the bottle on the floor, he leaned into Tony's belly button and let the cold liquid fill Tony's navel, Tony gasped and bit back his bottom lip, stilling his arched hips in the air, "Jethro…" Tony hissed out, clenching his eyes tightly, Gibbs smirked and kissed up Tony's happy trail and then slurped up the beer, his tongue dipping into the crevice and clearing out all moisture. Tony moaned as he dropped back down against the couch in a boneless heap, "You're… so… cruel sometimes." Tony panted out.

Gibbs shrugged his shoulders and kissed up Tony's sternum slowly until their lips were lightly touching "Been called worse things." Gibbs whispered as he kissed Tony thoroughly, Tony smiled into the kiss, his hand sliding through the silver strands to keep Gibbs' head where it was, "Probably won't be the last time someone calls you worse things either…" Tony said with a grin as he looked up into Gibbs' eyes, "Probably… Least I know when you do it, I'll know you mean it with all the love in the world." Gibbs said as he kissed Tony again, Tony nodded and rubbed the side of his nose against Gibbs' nose, "Won't ever say anything vindictive, or downright cruel to harm you… Love you too much." Tony said softly, Gibbs sighed and nodded, kissing Tony on the cheek "I know. Love you too." Gibbs said softly as he ran his fingertips down Tony's chest, gently tweaking Tony's left nipple and then proceeding the downward trail to Tony's hip bone, "So gorgeous when you're like this." Gibbs said softly as he began kissing down Tony's body once again, Tony whimpered and wriggled on the couch, "You're… killin'… me…" Tony moaned out, arching his hips as Gibbs began nibbling along Tony's pelvic bone, Gibbs grinned as he wrapped his lips around Tony's cock and sucked slowly, his tongue dipping into the slit and rolling around the head.

Tony moaned loudly as his hips thrusted forward, Gibbs growled and pushed Tony's hips back down, holding the younger man in place, letting his cock go with a loud 'pop' and staring up at him "Stay still." Gibbs commanded, Tony nodded and whimpered as he tightened his grip on the arm of the couch again. Gibbs nodded approvingly as he went back to sucking the head of Tony's cock and gently massaging into Tony's hips and down his thighs. Tony moaned loudly as Gibbs began gently massaging his finger against Tony's perineum, "Jethro… Jethro… Please… need you… Can't… Take it…" Tony gasped out, his body arching and rocking against the couch rapidly, Gibbs chuckled as he released Tony's cock and kissed Tony's flattened stomach "Alright, I'll stop." Gibbs said softly as he reached over to the coffee table and grabbed the bottle of lube, he liberally coated himself then his fingers and worked his fingers into Tony's body, opening him up with relative ease.

When Gibbs entered Tony, both men moaned loudly and Tony reached blindly to Gibbs' hand, interlocking their fingers, Gibbs pressed his thighs to the back of Tony's thighs and pivoted his hips and pelvic forward in forceful thrusts, rocking Tony's body back and forth on the leather surface. Gibbs pressed forward, hovering over Tony's body while Tony's legs locked around his lower back, Gibbs held Tony's hands above his head and leaned in, kissing Tony deeply and lovingly as their bodies rocked deeply and roughly into each other, Tony broke off the kiss with an ecstasy filled scream, his fingers clenching into Gibbs' hands as he arched and gasped, his body trembling as Gibbs continued thrusting powerfully. Tony's screams of pleasure echoed ceaselessly against the apartment walls, his legs slipping up and down Gibbs' back, both parts slick with sweat as Gibbs slammed against his body, "Oh goddddd!" Tony screamed as his cock began twitched restlessly and spurting hot white strands of come against his stomach and chest, Gibbs followed behind Tony's release a few seconds later, coming with a loud moan as his fingers tightened around Tony's hands as well.

Hours, it felt like hours when Tony finally came back to himself, but upon checking the green LED numbers of the cable box it had only been forty-five minutes, Gibbs was still out of it, lying on top of Tony and snoring lightly, Tony smiled sleepily as he brushed a few stray silver strands off Gibbs' forehead, then as carefully as possible he shifted Gibbs onto the couch and slid out from underneath him, cursing softly at his own stiff muscles. Gibbs mumbled in his sleep and twisted around on the couch, Tony stood hunched over and silent as he waited for Gibbs to settle back into sleep. Tony picked up their clothes from the floor and quietly walked towards the in-unit laundry unit, throwing their clothes and laundry from a few days ago in the washing machine and then headed to the bedroom and slipping on a pair of shorts, then went back to the living room, he quickly cleaned up their dinner and then sat down on the coffee table as he watched Gibbs sleep.

Gibbs woke up to the feeling of someone watching him, then opened one of his eyes to half-mast, looking up to see Tony sitting above him with a smile on his face, "Thought you were never going to wake up!" Tony teased as he slid to his knees and gently stroked Gibbs' chest and stomach, "Mmm, how long have I been sleeping?" Gibbs mumbled as he reached up and rubbed his eyes "About… an hour and a half?" Tony said questioningly, Gibbs nodded and slowly sat up, swinging his legs over the edge of the couch and resting his feet on either side of Tony's body on the floor. Gibbs framed Tony's face and leaned down, kissing him softly on the lips then smiling "What happened to my clothes?" Gibbs asked as he glanced at the floor where his clothes used to be, Tony laughed and laid his head against Gibbs' kneecap, "In the wash, I'll bring you a pair of shorts." Tony said as he stood up and quickly ran into his bedroom, when he came back out with shorts in hand, he grinned widely at Gibbs who was sitting on the piano bench, tapping a few random keys.

Tony handed Gibbs the shorts, then sat down at the piano, while Gibbs slipped the shorts on, Tony splayed his fingers across the keys in a rapid movement, hitting each key and then smiling as he set into playing 'Moonlight Sonata'. Gibbs sat beside Tony and listened with a gentle smile on his face as he hummed along to the tune, then Tony grinned wickedly as he switched into 'Can't Help Falling In Love' Tony deepened his voice slightly and sung from the deepest depths "Wise men say… Only fools rush in… But I can't help falling in love with you… Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? If I can't help falling in love with you." He looked up with unshed tears in his eyes and quickly swiped them away. Gibbs grinned and leaned over, kissing Tony softly on the lips "That was beautiful, but isn't there more to that song?" Gibbs asked teasingly, Tony nodded and laughed as he laid his head against Gibbs' shoulder "First verse is all that I can get passed sometimes… Besides the other verse is something you already have." Tony said as he held his hand out to Gibbs. Gibbs grinned as he placed his hand in Tony's hand and interlocked their fingers, "Ready to go to bed now?" Gibbs asked curiously, Tony nodded and together they pushed away from the piano and headed into Tony's bedroom.
