Kryptonite
The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. So suffocating. Gibbs stared at Tony's son, a mix of anger and disappointment radiating from him. Abby and Ducky sat tense and quiet trying to foresee what would happen now. Their gazes wandering between Tony and Gibbs.
Suddenly Gibbs stood up and walked towards Tony and slapped him on the back of his head. Gibbs towered over the young man's bowed form awaiting his reaction, an explanation. But the reaction he received was far from what he expected.
"Who do you think you are?" Tony pressed through gritted teeth as he stood face to face with Gibbs. His anger giving him the courage to stand up to Gibbs.
"You think you know it all. You think you have the right to burst into my home and headslap me. To be actually pissed because you weren't informed about my autistic son. What do you think to have the solution to this situation? That I can't do this without you? What...?" Tony rubbed his hands over his face tiredly. He felt drained and awkward after shouting at Gibbs. The man he considered his father. At least more than he would consider his real father a father. He felt bad for shouting this things at Gibbs for shouting in general. But it also felt so right to have it all out.
While he was shouting at Gibbs he hadn't been able to see the older man's face. Because he had concealed his emotions so quickly that Ducky almost didn't catch them. But Ducky had been able to make out shock about Tony actually shouting at him and anger for being treated like that. But there had also been pride about Tony having the courage to voice his thoughts and emotions uncensored.
After an awkward and tense silence and what had just happened sunk in Gibbs said calm and cold:" It's ok to not have told me cause our relationship is only work related. So everything that concerns your private life is none of my business. Therefore I won't take your situation at home into consideration. Be on time tomorrow!"
Without one last glance he turned and walked out of the door.
When the door fell shut Tony fell back onto the couch burying his face in his hands.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck FUCK!" Tony started to shout all of a sudden his voice growing louder with each word. He had jumped off the couch and paced between the two couches. As he stopped abruptly he looked up into Abby's and Ducky's faces pleading with them to help and fix this mess he got himself into with his outburst.
A/N: I know it's short and probably not what you expected. I hope you like it nonetheless.
