Chapter 7 Coming Out Part 1

Tony's POV

It was one of those days that are terrible…Why? Well first I couldn't sleep. Second, it was because I didn't hold Tim in my arms. I couldn't see him waking up, couldn't hear his adorable sleepy voice. It pissed me off. But Tim needed some time to write ALONE and I could never say no to him. I spent the evening alone in my apartment. I did that often before Tim and I got together, but never before I felt so bad and lonely. When I was on my way to work I bought three mugs of coffee. One for Tim, one for me and one for the boss. Never a bad idea to fill the boss up with some caffeine.

I walked out of the elevator and froze immediately. At first glance everything was normal: Ziva and Tim sitting on their desks, Gibbs nowhere to see. Ziva was working, Tim was not. It wouldn't have bothered me. When Gibbs was not in the Bullpen and we had no actual case, I didn't work either. But there was something-someone who bothered me: the very attractive woman standing dangerously close behind MY boyfriend! She was gorgeous: tall, blonde, amazing body. If I hadn't been head over heels into Tim, I had tried to seduce her. I stepped into the Bullpen. Neither Tim nor the woman noticed my presence. I put one coffee mug on Gibbs' desk and one on Tim's. He was focused on his screen and on this woman so he didn't notice. I shot her a death glare and sat down behind my desk. Ziva chuckled.

»What? «, I snapped.

She shook her head giggling.

»Nothing. «

The next thirty minutes I had to hear how the woman complimented Tim with everything she said. She was very charming and I knew she tried to get in his pants. And I couldn't even blame her.

»You are SO smart and skilled. Not to mention handsome. And I wonder what else you could do with those long, agile fingers of yours. «

I had to fight the strong need to puke and went to Ziva's desk. I kneeled down next to her and whispered:

»Who is she? «

»Detective Lawrence. Metro Police. «

»And why is she here? «, I asked out loud.

The Detective shot me an irritated glare. I glared angrily back. Ziva laughed. Even Tim looked now at us. He noticed the coffee mug.

»Uh- where does the coffee come from? «

I stood up and finished my own.

»I don't know McGoo. Maybe the coffee didn't like the coffee shop, so it paid himself and walked over here and up to your desk. «, I replied sarcastically.

Then I noticed her hand on my boyfriend's leg.

»She doesn't even try to be subtle! «, I hissed to Ziva before I sat down behind my desk again.

Tim looked confused and got up. He grabbed the collar of my shirt and dragged me into the elevator. Tim hit the emergency button.

»What the hell is your problem? «

»My problem is this hot woman who tried to get in your pants. And you seemed to enjoy it! «

Tim looked shocked.

»You are jealous! «

I exploded.

»Yes of course I am jealous! She is young, hot and she is charming and complimenting you, while I was a jerk to you the last years! «

His face softened.

»Tony. It is okay. I know you show me that you care with your nicknames. And some of them are actually really funny. «

»I am sorry for all jokes and teasing. «, I mumbled.

My adorable boyfriend hugged me tightly.

»And I am sorry for being an insensitive prick. I shouldn't flirt. Especially not in front of you. «

I clung tightly on him.

»I love you so much. «

He ran with his thumbs over my cheeks and looked into my eyes.

»I love you too, Tony. «

And with one gentle kiss he blew all my worries and fears away. I could feel true love radiating from his eyes and lips. And even if I didn't understand why I KNEW he loved me.

»Why does that bother you so much? You know that I love you, right? «

I nodded.

»What's wrong? «

»I feel a little bit vulnerable today, because I am so nervous about our coming out. And if you tell someone that I said that, I will have to kill you. «

Tim chuckled.

»I won't tell. And I promise I won't be touchy and flirty with Detective Lawrence. «

I smiled and kissed him.

»Thank you. «

We got back into the Bullpen. Almost immediately after Tim sat down the hands of the female Police officer were on him and she asked seductively:

»We should go out sometimes, don't you think? «

»I-uh I am in a relationship. «

»She doesn't need to know…«, Detective Lawrence purred and placed a gentle kiss on Tim's neck.

»HE DOES know already! «, Tim insisted.

She was shocked for a moment, but quickly back on track.

»I don't think you are gay. You are too handsome for another guy. And even if you really are, he can't be enough for you. I can do things with you, you can't imagine. «

I closed my eyes. My blood boiled. When I opened my eyes again, Tim shot me a glare pleading for help. Ziva and I exchanged looks. We understood each other very well not as well as Tim and I, but close.

»You look angry, Ziva. What's up? «, I asked loud catching the attention of the Police woman.

»I just don't like it when somebody bothers a friend. Remember the woman who tried to seduce you even after you rejected her for the millionth time and the she groped you? «

»Yeah. Pamela. «, I lied smoothly.

It was of course a fake story.

»How is she? «

»The doctors told me that she could maybe walk again sometimes. «, Ziva answered.

»You dealt with her really…intense «

My co-worker looked directly in the eyes of Detective Lawrence.

»She deserved it for not keeping her hands from you. «

I had to suppress a laugh when the Detective backed away from Tim clearly frightened. After a few minutes she got a call and left.

»By the way why was she here? «, I asked.

»She is investigating a robbery where the victim died and the Metro cops thought it could be related to an old NCIS case. «, Ziva explained.

»I am heading to Abby. Wanna join me? «

I nodded.

»Sure, Tim. «

When we entered her lab, Abby turned around and hugged us.

»What are you guys doing here? «

I shrugged.

»I don't know. Ask my McGeek here. «

Tim smiled.

»Tony and I want to tell Gibbs about us later- «

»That is great! «, Abby squealed.

»-and I want you to be there in case he wont react very well. «

He turned to me.

»If that is okay for you, Tony… «

»Absolutely. «

I hugged him from behind and smiled.

»Aww. «

»Abby, don't do that! We are not dogs…«, Tim said.

»I didn't see you that often the last days. I am not used to your cuteness anymore. «

I blushed and I knew Tim did, too.

»So you will be with us when we tell the Boss? «

Abby nodded.

»Don't worry. «

We talked for a few minutes and then Tim and I went to Ducky. Tim and I decided to tell Ducky and Palmer first. Like a test. When we entered autopsy we saw that Ducky and his assistant examined a body. They looked up and came to us.

»Anthony and Timothy, What can I do for you? «, Ducky asked.

(A/N: Anthony and Timothy is a fanfiction written by Miss Barbara. A great story. You should totally check it out. But it has a really heartbreaking end.)

»We-uh want to tell you something. «

»What is it? «

Tim looked at me questioning. His look was as good as a spoken question:

'Do you want to tell them?'

I had to fight the urge to freak out so I shook my head. Tim continued:

»Well…Tony and I we-we are together. We are dating for two months now. «

I looked frightened at the two men. Ducky's opinion was as important as Gibbs'. And even if I would NEVER EVER admit that Palmer was also important for me and I cared a lot about him. Ducky looked at us for a moment until he smiled.

»My dear boys, I am happy so happy for you. You both need someone to love. Everyone does, but especially with your job and your past. «

»So you approve? «, I asked my voice slightly shaking.

»Tony, I do more than I approve. I can see you are happy together. «

We looked expectantly at Palmer.

»You know I am not good with words. As long as you are happy I will support you. «

Palmer hugged Tim. I was relived.

»Palmer let go of my man. Always remember I carry a gun. «

He looked frightened. Tim laughed.

»Tony is joking, Jimmy. Calm down. «

I laughed and pulled an arm around Tim's waist.

»When are you going to tell Gibbs? «

Tim and I looked at each other.

»Today, Ducky. I think we should go now. Before we catch a case. «

I nodded hesitantly. Ducky told us good luck and Palmer looked worried. Tim pulled me to the elevator. With every step my heart beat faster and when we reached the elevator I could barely breathe. I had a panic attack. My boyfriend stopped the elevator once more. He hugged me.

»Tony. Calm down. It is okay. «

»Its…not…Gibbs…will…kill…us…«, I managed to say.

»Tony look at me! «

I did as he told me. His wonderful green eyes were full of love and joy.

»It doesn't matter how Gibbs will react or what he will say. It doesn't matter if we are losing our job or if we are separated or nothing happens. I will love you. And I will stay with you as long as you want me do. «

I hugged him tightly.

»That means for a long time, because I love you too. «

»Sounds good to me. «

I chuckled and kissed him gently. The elevator moved again after I hit the button. Tim hugged me and I kissed him. I think we got a little bit lost, because we didn't notice how the elevator doors opened until someone cleared his throat. We jumped and broke the kiss. When I saw how caught us I thought I might puke.

»Uh-hi Boss. Did you see your coffee? «

Everything went black and I hit the floor.

I think that is not how the guys imagined their coming out. How will Gibbs react? Will Tony be fine? Please review!
