Fairytale Nights

"…..Oh"

Gibbs stood in the doorway of his kitchen, watching the two Wolves who had yet to notice him, Tim was laughing softly to whatever Trent had said. The Alpha's eyes stayed on the Omega, grey eyes were soft, warm, and filled with emotions that Gibbs had only felt for one woman.

"Oh" he thought again, unable to think of anything else in his surprise.

"Morning Boss"

Gibbs blinked, and Tim smiled, "Coffee's ready" the Omega titled his head to the coffee machine.

"Thanks" the man said before going over to the counter.

"Can you get the water boiling without burning my boss's house down?" he heard Tim say as he grabbed the handle of the pot.

"It was one time, and it was a little fire" Trent replied.

"It was twice, and the fire wasn't little"

Tim left and Trent, grumbling, came over to the stove. He took the pot that was there and went over to the sink to fill it up with water.

"So, you and McGee huh" sad Gibbs as he poured the coffee into the mug that had been placed there for him.

Trent paused, then placed the pot on the stove and turned the knob on high.

"How long has that been going on?"

"Technically years"

Gibbs raised a brow, at the technically or years part, he wasn't sure.

"Is it going to be a problem?" Trent asked when the human was silent.

Gibbs went over the table, and sat down, cradling his warm mug between his hands. Trent stayed by the stove, the human thought about the question.

It was a surprise, of all people he thought Tim would be in a relationship with; Trent Kort didn't even make the list. The surprise quickly turned into protectiveness and a little anger; it was Trent Kort after all. Tim knew how Gibbs felt about the Alpha, quickly, he pushed away those feelings, calmed them to think rationally. He knew that if he did anything to Trent without just cause, Tim would be very angry at him, and the last time he had truly pushed too hard, not only had he nearly lost his Agent; but had nearly shattered the trust between them.

He did not want a repeat of the last time.

"You hurt him" Gibbs finally said, "and Hunters will be the least of your problems"

Trent smirked, "Dully noted"

"I'm pretty sure last night was the most sexual marriage proposal ever" Tony thought that morning as he laid in his bed, eyes staring up at the ceiling.

After the….Incident, Kuma had sent him to his room to get comfortable while the Alpha worked on dinner, in a daze; Tony had done so. Going into his room, placing his badge and gun in their proper place before showering, when he emerged from his room more himself and back to the kitchen Kuma was making stew from his newly stocked cupboards and fridge. Unsure of what else to do, Tony had settled down on the couch and watched TV. After dinner, Tony had made sure Kuma had a blanket and pillow before going to well…hide in his room.

He spent half the night thinking about everything.

Kuma said he'd wait until Tony was ready.

And Tony wondered how long that'll be, wondered how long Kuma will wait while the human tried to get over his fear. Because he was ready, ready to be Kuma's and for Kuma to be his, and that scared him. The last two times he was ready, he lost both women. What if he lost Kuma too? If it wasn't for his Team, he's not sure he would have taken the loss of Jeanne as well as he did. If he lost Kuma, would he not only lose the Alpha but lose Tim too? His best friend, and then there was Hunters and everything else he didn't know about of Kuma' and Tim's world.

It was too much.

"Tony?"

Tony jumped and turned his head to his closed bedroom door, he opened his mouth, nothing came out. Clearing his throat he tried again, "Yeah?"

"Can I come in?"

Tony gulped, and it took his face a while to turn into something he hoped wasn't the sudden panic he was feeling before answering, "Sure"

The door opened and Kuma stood in the doorway, the Wolf took one look at the human, came over and promptly got into the bed. Tony made a startled noise when he was suddenly being manhandled onto his front and then Kuma was on top of him.

It was a warm heavy weight, covering all of him and he did feel afraid anymore, he felt safe.

"What's wrong?" Kuma asked, "could hear your heart speeding up"

Tony, who was starting to feel a little drowsy, suddenly wiggled. Kuma shifted his weight a bit, but didn't get up.

"Kuma" Tony said, warning and a bit of desperation in his voice.

Kuma shifted some more until he was able to shove his face into the side of the human's neck, he made a low almost pleading whine. Tony wiggled some more until finally Kuma rolled off of him and onto his back next to the human.

"I didn't mean to scare you" the Alpha said after a long moment, staring up at the ceiling.

"…..You didn't scare me" Tony said softly, eyes back on the ceiling, "I kind of did that to myself"

Tony can feel the Alpha gaze on him, throat suddenly very much dry, the human turned to look at Kuma. Green met hazel.

"I…I realized that I am ready and that's what's scaring me….because…because the last time I was ready I lost them and I can't go through that again"

Kuma rolled onto his side, and after a while Tony did the same, the Wolf stared at the human before he lifted up at hand to cup the back of the Agent's head. Kuma moved closer and kissed Tony's forehead, lingering for a moment before pulling back to look at the man in the eyes once more.

"When I told you I was yours, I meant it. I can't grantee that'll we'll always be together, but I can promise you that I'll be yours for as long as you have me"

"….That's a nice thought" Tony murmured.

"It is" Kuma smiled a little.

The human picked at his sheets, before after a long deep sigh, and drawing up a lot of courage; moved closer to the Wolf, and kissed him.

"Ms. Sciuto, please have a seat"

Abby nervously sat down in the chair in front of the Director's desk, she tried not fidget as she waited for Leon to speak, finally the man opened his desk drawer and pulled out a rather large folder.

"Do you know what that is?' the Director asked indicating to the folder.

Abby shook her head, "No, sir"

"These are complaints from various employees of this Agency about you, all of which have been buried by paperwork and various other means"

"Sir, I would never—"

Leon held up his head, and Abby closed his mouth.

"I know you didn't do it, I know who did, and no I will not tell you who, because it will not make a difference to what will come next. These complaints, along with some case reports have me very concerned. Everything I've found and gone through, speak of unruly and disturbing behavior. I want you to undergo a psychological evaluation, until then you are suspended, effective as of today"

Abby opened her mouth, closed and opened it again, not a sound came out.

"This is not up to debt" Leon continued on, "not doing so is grounds for immediate termination"

"B-B-But G-Gibbs—"

"Has no say in this, his is not your Boss, I am"

Abby went silent, hand fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.

"Is this about Tim?" she finally asked.

"If you have to ask Ms. Sciuto"

After giving the Forensic Scientist the time and date, Leon dismissed her, after she left; he picked up his phone to call Agent Cornell into his office to ask him how the case was going.

Meanwhile Abby was making her way down to the bullpen, her usual path to her lab, eyes went and hands near shaking. She was confused and very much upset which quickly turned into anger, when she got to the bottom of the stairs, the elevator dinged open and Tim stepped off; smiling and laughing.

She stomped over to him.

"What did you do!?" she demanded loudly, startling Tim when she stood toe to toe with him. Around them, NCIS employees turned and looked.

"Abby wha—?"

"Vance suspended me and is making me undergo a Psych Eval!"

"Oh" Tim blinked

"Oh? Oh?! Is that all you got to say?!"

Abby raised her hand, and let it fly, however she never got the satisfaction of hitting flesh. A rough hand grabbed her wrist and she was suddenly being shuffled back and away from Tim by a very, very unhappy Trent Kort.

"Ms. Sciuto" the CIA Agent said, voice eerily calm, "I suggest you go somewhere that is not here and collect yourself"

"Let me go!"

Trent's eyes narrowed, and his grip tighten just slightly, suddenly Gibbs was there. "I got this" he said.

Trent stared at him for a longtime before nodding and he let the woman go, watching as Gibbs escorted Abby out of the Pen and to her lab.

~.~

"Abby, you better have a good reason for the stunt you just pulled" Gibbs said when they entered Abby's office and he had the woman sit down, keeping a very tight hold on his anger.

"Director Vance suspended me!"

"Yeah, I get that part, when you yelled at McGee, but why does that give you reason to hit him?"

"Because he said that he couldn't trust me!"

"That's because I don't"

Both Abby and Gibbs looked in the direction of the office door, there stood Tim. Abby glared.

"Get out!"

"No"

"This is my lab"

"It's NCIS's lab"

"Gibbs make him leave"

"Boss, can you give us a minute?"

Gibbs looked between the two, then to Abby's surprise, instead of making Tim leave; the man moved away. He didn't leave the office, instead he went over to Tim, the two talked in hushed voices then Gibbs went and stood in a corner. Tim moved closer to Abby until he was standing before her.

"Abby—"

"I'm not talking to you"

Tim raised a brow and watched as Abby stood, gently he placed his hands on her shoulder and firmly sat her back down.

"Fine then" he told the surprised woman, "don't talk, but you are going to listen"

Gibbs had never heard Tim use that tone of voice before, it told all that he was speaking, you were going to listen to what he said, and by the end of it whether you liked what you heard or not. His opinion was going to be said.

"Abby, you're an amazing woman, kind, caring and unique. But you can also be selfish, extremely childish and one-minded. You disregard others if their views are not your own, whether you do this consciously or not, it's not healthy; and the Director sees that, and that's why he made the decision that he did"

"But you said—"

"I do trust you Abby, I trust you on a professional level, but even that is shaky I'll admit. On a personal level, I don't know and I'm not sure I ever will"

Impressed as he was at the way Tim was handling this, Gibbs wondered if his team can handle the outcome.
