"I'm sorry for the way I've acted for this past week. I had the right to be pissed, I think we can agree on that, but what happened at Bethesda wasn't right and I'm sorry."
"No one can ever stay mad at you DiNozzo."
"You and Kate, you're…you're perfect together." Gibbs was taken aback. "I just wanted so bad to be the one she looked at the way she looks at you, but I could never make her feel the way you do, and I know that. It sucks, but I know that. I guess I'm here to just apologize for my behavior and basically…tell you that it's okay." He sighed, trying to piece his words together correctly. "I guess, as a friend, give you my blessing."
"Thank you Tony." Gibbs stood and put out his hand, and when Tony shook it, Gibbs put his other arm around him in a hug/pat on the back, the most affection Tony knew he would ever receive from Gibbs. Gibbs pulled back, hand still holding Tony's. "I want you to know that if you ever need anything, do not hesitate to ask. I may be your boss but I view you as a best friend Tony." Tony replied with an understanding smile.
"Same goes for you boss." They let go and Tony smiled his man whorish smile. "Well, I guess I better head on out, I've got a date with this really hot-"
"Yeah right DiNozzo."
"Okay, ya' caught me again. A really great movie is coming on later tonight, can't miss it." Gibbs laughed and walked him out the door.
"Bye DiNozzo, I'll see you Monday."
Only a few minutes after Tony left, Kate showed up with a bag of take out.
"Did I just see Tony driving past on my way here?"
"Yep."
"And?" She asked with curiousness.
"And I think we'll be fine from here on out." He pulled her in close for a soft kiss and grabbed the bags from her hand.
"Me too Jethro."
