Yeah it was only Monday, the next Monday, more than a whole week and Tony had barely said anything to him. The few times Tim had tried to talk to him Tony acted like a complete asshole and Tony would only talk to Tim when it involved work. It was actually getting on Gibbs nerves because it was affecting their work, he had told them both to work it out and Tim did try but it was no use. He was just hoping Tony would at least try to be nicer to him. He didn't want to piss Gibbs off and he didn't want to ruin the friendship he had because of some drunken mistake, technically not his own but still.
"Ziva take these to Abby please." Gibbs said handing her some papers.
"Want me to go with her Gibbs?" Tony asked wanting to get out of the bullpen. He figured out why Gibbs was having Ziva drop off forms instead of going down himself.
"No DiNozzo I would rather you stay here, Ziva you can go now."
"Yes Gibbs, I'll be back.
Once she was on the elevator on her way down to the lab Gibbs called Tim and Tony over to his desk.
"Yes boss." They said in unison once in front of his desk.
"Now I don't know what's going on between you to and unless I have to I don't care. I do care about my team being able to do their job and this past week you both have been doing a shitty job. Now you better resolve this issue soon or I will."
"You got it boss." Tony said
"Yes sir, Gibbs." Tim said
They both went back to work after that and Tim was planning on talking to Tony later after all no one likes to be on Gibbs bad side but they never got around to it. Oh well they could just get to it tomorrow, right now Tim just wanted to get home.
….
"Hi Tim, how was work?"
"It was alright, Gibbs had a talk with me and Tony this afternoon though."
"Shit, no way! So does he know what happened now? What did Tony say? Dinner's ready by the way. Holy fuck was Gibbs like pissed or confused, what happened?"
"Ok Heather calm down, one question at a time. How about we talk over dinner?"
"Alright soooo?"
"Ok well Gibbs doesn't know what happened he just knows something is up which he wouldn't if Tony wasn't treating me like crap. Tony and I didn't say anything except that we would work it out which I hope we will soon but I doubt it. I think Tony has it in his head that we have some unspoken agreement that we will act like everything is fine but we won't go back to normal we will just be civil toward each other. Any other questions?"
"Yeah I do actually, why the hell are you letting him treat you like this. You should talk to him, he was the one who started making out with you so he has no right to be a pompous ass."
"Well I know that obviously Heather I have tried you know, what should I do pin him to a corner and make him speak to me." McGee said sarcastically
"You could do that just, well not really pin him but I don't know get in the men's room and talk to him or the car at work or..,,"
"Or the elevator, I could get him in the elevator!"
"That's great Tim, how did you think of that?"
"My boss does that sometimes but anyways what I am I going to say to him?"
"Weird and I'm not sure. How about you start with hey prick how about we be grownups and talk, you know use are words."
"Okay good but I might go for a nicer approach." McGee said laughing "Well I'm sure it will come to me, so how about we go grab some dessert?"
"Sounds like a plan."
….
It was Wednesday and the team didn't have a case just paperwork, lots of paperwork. That was both a good and bad thing, first it meant they would be going home on time but the other meant McGee was going to try and talk to him every chance he could. He had tried all yesterday but the team was so busy solving a case that he never got to. Tony knew he should have let McGee talk to him it was necessary but he just wished it wasn't. Tim seemed confused for about two weeks, since it had happened so maybe Probie was just confused as to why Tony was acting like this. Still Tony didn't want to talk to him, he was feeling things, thinking about Tim in a way he didn't that made him oh so uncomfortable but turned on? It was confusing he shouldn't be thinking of Tim in that way, but yet every time he saw Tim he felt his heart race faster. Tony DiNozzo wanted Timothy McGee and in more ways than one, Tim is smart and good looking and funny he didn't want just a one night stand with him. Tim isn't the one night stand kind anyway and that's why it couldn't happen because Tony is not the commitment type and besides that they work together. So yeah avoiding Tim for right now was for the best at least until he could get over this infatuation.
….
It was around three when Tony was heading toward the elevator to go see Ducky, there was his chance to talk to Tony alone where he wouldn't have a chance to flee. He got up from his chair and caught the elevator before Tony could press the close door button.
"Tony we need to talk, now!" Tim said flicking the switch to stop the elevator.
"Well McChittychat I'm kind of busy doing my job, can't this wait?"
"No it actually can't, unless you want Gibbs to yell at us again the fix this like he said."
"McGee there is nothing to fix so how about you drop it."
"No Tony I won't, look we were both drunk and it was a mistake I understand that so could you stop being an ass and avoiding me. I want us to stay friends and I hope this thing won't ruin it our friendship completely but if we can't could we at least act civil toward each other at work?"
Tony didn't know what to say, he really just wanted nothing to do with McGee any more but at the same time he wanted more than the friendship they had before that night. He was so confused, what could he say? McGee sounded so sad at the thought of them no longer being friends, he could tell McGee he had to think things through, yeah he would say that.
Tony was taking too long to think things through obviously, he could have said something but he was too stuck in his head and before he realized it McGee was getting off the elevator. Tony didn't even notice him flip the switch. Shit now McGee probably thought Tony hated him or something, he had to talk to him but first he had to get down to Ducky.
"Hey boss is it possible to finish these things at home, I'm almost done and I will have everything on your desk first thing tomorrow. It's just I have a guest over and…"
"McGee relax, you may go home just come in early tomorrow and finish whatever you have left. Have a good night, Ziva you can do the same if you want." For some weird reason Gibbs was in a good mood but hey why question a thing so the two grabbed their gear said goodbye and headed home.
Apparently Tony had the worst timing in the world today because when he got back to the bullpen Tim and Ziva had already left for the day.
"You're free to go DiNozzo, but I expect you on time tomorrow."
"You got it boss, have a good night."
….
Tony had no clue what to do, should he go over to Tim's house or should he just call. Maybe he could invite Tim over, cook some dinner for him and try to resolve things and apologize for his behavior.
"Hi its Tim McGee please leave your name and number after the beep and I will get back to you." Tony hang up, he didn't want to leave some crappy message he had to talk to him.
He called seven times before he gave up, Tim didn't want to talk to him and he was not going to leave a message. He knew what he had to do, he just had to go to McGee's apartment and make him talk.
….
"So he didn't even say anything, the bastard just stood there! WTF like really, what a douche move."
"Yeah so I just turned the elevator back on and went back to my desk asked Gibbs if I could leave early and surprisingly he let both me and Ziva go so that's the end of that. Oh and by the way what is with the language huh?"
"Your cousin is not the best influence but I love him, plus I need my coffee and there are no Dunks in walking distance so we should go."
"Haha yeah Ben is kind of like a sailor, uh god he's calling again!"
"Wow this is like the sixth time in the past hour."
"Seventh, he should just get it through hat thick skull of his that I'm not talking to him. Well let me just talk a shower and then we can go to Dunkin' Donuts okay."
"Fine go take you shower." Heather said jokingly.
A/N: Holy crap what is gonna happen when Tony gets there? I guess you all will just have to wait until sometime next week. ;) By the way I appreciate the reviews keep them coming!
