"See if you can get us some help with these" Gibbs said and tossed the radios to McGee who almost dropped them. "I'll try to keep Tony awake" Gibbs said and walked over to Tony who was now propped up against the cave wall to keep him from falling asleep. Gibbs sat down next to Tony and sighed. "How're you feeling Tony?" Gibbs asked.
"Tired.. sore.. stiff.. why didn't you tell me we're in a cave?" Tony asked and turned his head towards Gibbs, "And why didn't you tell me that McGee's here? I blew our cover" Tony said quietly. Gibbs chuckled and wiped his nose with his sleeve before looking at Tony.
"You blew it right after that rock hit you in the head Tony" Gibbs said with a smirk, "McGee knows, and he doesn't care" Gibbs said and took Tony's hand with a frown, "You're freezing, wait here and I'll get my sleepingbag for you" Gibbs said.
"Where would I go?" Tony asked.
"I don't know" Gibbs said as he got up, "But I'm not taking any chances" he said and walked over to McGee. "Any luck?" Gibbs asked over McGee's shoulder, making McGee jump and almost lose the radio.
"N.. no Boss" McGee stuttered and kept fiddling with the radio. "But I think I'm close, I'm just going to go outside and see if I can get anything there" McGee said and got up. Gibbs nodded and went to the fire, tossing another stick on it before he went back to Tony and tucked his sleepingbag around him. Mcgee disappeared and Gibbs leaned in for a kiss.
"Mmm, nice" Tony said, "We could do a quickie before he comes back" Tony whispered.
"If you didn't have that concussion I would slap you into next month right now" Gibbs said and chuckled along with Tony. "You scared me you know" Gibbs said and took Tony's cold hand in his own warm hand. "Don't go wandering off like that, you promised me never to do that again" Gibbs said and looked at Tony who was clearly struggeling against sleep. "And don't fall asleep just yet, come on, do some talking, you know you want to" Gibbs said.
"Contrary to popular beliefs, I'm not great on small talk" Tony said, "I don't feel like talking, I feel like sleeping" Tony continued, "And I was really looking for George you know" Tony finished.
"You were looking for the stray cat that keeps showing up in my basement?" Gibbs asked. Tony nodded and regretted the movement instantly. "Easy" Gibbs said and snuck an arm around Tony, pulling the younger man so his head rested on Gibbs's shoulder. "How come I think you know more about George than you're letting on?" Gibbs asked.
"Because you're crazy, I know nothing about George the stray cat" Tony said innocently.
"I think you do" Gibbs said.
"But I don't" Tony argued.
"So you haven't been sneaking him into the house when it's raining or cold outside and secretly given him food and milk in the basement?" Gibbs asked with a chuckle.
"Like I said, crazy" Tony said and twirled a finger against his temple to underline his point. Gibbs chuckled and kissed the side of Tony's forehead. McGee picked that very moment to come running inside with a huge grin plastered on his face.
"They're coming for us, ETA thirty minutes! Now all we have to do is wait" McGee said.
"See? I told you we were getting out of here" Tony said.
"No you didn't" Gibbs chuckled.
"Well I did now, didn't I?" Tony mumbled as his eyes closed. Gibbs looked over at him and shook Tony's shoulder.
"Tony wake up" Gibbs said, "you can't go to sleep yet" he continued.
Nothing.
