Chapter 9 – Happy Hour, more ways than one

"And why are we going back down to Abby? Were off for the weekend and I really want to sleep." Harry said when he followed Tim into the elevator. The team had solved four cases during Harry's first week, and Harry was knackered and wanted to go to sleep, but now Tim was dragging him down to Abby.

"We're celebrating. Usually we spend some time Friday night on a pub a few blocks away from campus to celebrate a successful week." Tim explained and pushed the button.

"Okay, but why down in the Lab?"

"Because it's cheaper and there is better music." Tony said as he squeezed in between the closing doors, in his hand he had a big bag of Chinese takeaway.

"So is Abby going to mix up some alcohol down there with her chemicals or what?" Harry asked with a laugh, leaning his head on the wall. Tim gave a smile and Tony shook his head amused.

"No she is not, even if it is a good idea, but we do still have a lot of bottles from the time she played bartender."

"From the time when Landon killed according to your new book?" Harry asked and stood straight as the elevator came to a halt.

"Yeah, but I don't think we're going to play beer-pong tonight." Tim said.

"Finally Tony we're all starving." Ziva said, when they entered, before she all but yanked the bag from Tony's hand.

"Relax Miss Mossad, there is food enough for everyone." Tony said and pulled a beer from a six-pack on the table. At one end sat Ducky with a glass of whiskey and behind him by the computer stood Abby and Jimmy, discussing the music.

~~ Later ~~

With something to eat and a bit to drink, almost non-alcoholic since Tim and Gibbs wouldn't let him drink, Harry quickly felt more energized. Ducky and Gibbs were discussing something or another, Jimmy and Abby were mock arm wrestling and Tony and Ziva were discussing the next piece of music.

"Come on Ziva it's my turn to choose." Tony said typing in The Bad Touch by Fall Out Boy, making the song play from Abby's many speakers. Tony grabbed the pouting Ziva and started to dance with her.

"Why did you choose that song?" Ziva asked. Tony turned to look at her, his body following the beat.

"Because I wanted to see their reaction." Tony answered and pointed with his head to Harry and McGee.

"You noticed too then?"

"That they don't seem to be able to keep their eyes of each other, then yes, I have noticed." Tony said with a smirk looking at McGee who was watching Harry move to the music while he was watching Abby and Jimmy dance; Abby had dragged up from his chair after she had beaten him in their arm wrestling match.

"What are you going to do about it?"

"I don't know, I was thinking I would give them a push in the right direction."

"More like a shove knowing how stubborn Timmy is." Abby said and started to dance with Tony, making Ziva dance with Jimmy.

"Do you have a plan then?" Ziva asked.

/Break/

Harry smiled as he watched the others dance, fooling around. He could see that they were talking and he had a feeling that it was about him since they kept stealing glances at him, and Tim for some reason. Harry was about to ask Tim if he would dance when Ziva came over and dragged Tim out of his chair, proclaiming that it was his turn to choose some music. Before Tim had chosen any music Abby had dragged Harry out his chair to dance with him. With his back to the computer, Harry didn't see Ziva 'interrogate' his friend.

"So you and Harry?" Ziva said indifferently while looking at some of the music on Abby's computer, she hid her smile when McGee froze.

"What do you mean?" McGee asked; a slight stutter to his voice.

"Well you keep steeling glances at each other, you're close friends. I just thought that you were together."

"No we are not."

"But you want to?"

"What?" McGee's voice reached a few octaves higher than normal.

"There is no need to be embarrassed, it's completely normal for a male to have feelings for another male." Ziva said still not looking at McGee, which just made him squirm even more.

"I don't think Harry feels that way." McGee sounded almost sad.

"You will never know unless you ask him." Ziva said and looked up at her fellow agent.

"And if I ask him, and he doesn't feel the same way, then I may ruin our friendship." McGee said and pressed for U Make Me Wanna by Blue to play. Unknown to McGee, Harry and Abby were having pretty much the same discussion.

"I have been burned too many times Abby, and if this goes wrong I will not only have made a fool out of myself, but I will most likely lose my best friend." Harry said and spun the Goth around. Abby locked eyes with Ziva across the room and saw that she had reached the same dead-end as she had. When she looked back at Harry Abby saw him smiling and dancing with his eyes closed.

"You like this song?" Abby asked, wandering why McGee had chosen it.

"Mhh, it's one of my favorites." Harry said.

/Five days later/

Wednesday morning started out like most other days without a case: boring. Or it was until Ziva, reading some papers while drinking her morning smoothie walked into Tim, covering him in the pinkish goo from her cup. Tony cracked up laughing at the sight and Harry couldn't help a smile forming on his lips. Gibbs was up at MTAC at a meeting, missing all the fun.

"Yak! Ziva what is this?" Tim said as he tried to get some of the smoothie of with a napkin. Tony laughed even more when the napkin stuck to Tim's shirt, since the smoothie was very sticky.

"Pineapple and strawberry smoothie McGee." Ziva asked, covering her own smile.

"You better change that shirt before something else sticks to you McGlue." Tony said, still snickering. Tim huffed and started to unbutton his shirt after he had taken a clean one out of a drawer in his desk, he had learned a long time ago to always have an extra shirt at hand. Harry leaned on his uncle's desk as he watched transfixed on Tim's fingers as they worked on his buttons. More and more of the tight undershirt became visible and Harry felt his mouth go dry; he had liked Tim since after a few weeks of knowing the other agent. When Tim got his shirt of Tony cracked up again as the undershirt too had been ruined by the smoothie. Tim groaned and pulled of the undershirt too.

"Wow McGee when did you get those muscles?" Ziva asked truly surprised, all she had wanted was to see Harry's reaction to a shirtless McGee. Harry's eyes left Tim's chest and looked at the man's stomach after Ziva's outbreak. The Israeli was right; Tim had gotten some well formed muscles on his stomach.

"With the job I guess." Tim answered unsure and reached for the clean shirt. Before Tim could get the shirt on Gibbs came down the stairs.

"Gear up. Dead marine in Baltimore. Ziva, Tony you're with me, Harry, McGee…" Gibbs stopped mid-order and looked at his shirtless agent. Tim blushed and quickly put on his shirt and buttoned it.

"Harry, McGee you stay here and find as much information you can about Patrick Grouse." With that said the three agents left for the elevator.

/Break/

Ziva smiled as she watched the screen of her phone. She had just texted Abby telling her that phase one had been successful.

/Break/

Today's case was solved fairly easily and now all they needed to do was finish the report. Gibbs was talking with the director and Tony had disappeared to God knows where.

"Harry, McGee, Abby wants to talk to you. She said she had something to show you." Ziva said and put her phone down; it was time to phase two.

"Why didn't she call us?" Harry asked, looking up from the screen.

"Because she was talking to me, now you better get going." Harry looked at McGee who just shrugged and stood.

/Break/

"Do you have any idea what that was about?" Tim asked when he pushed the button to Abby's lab.

"No idea, but there was definitely something Ziva didn't mention." Harry looked up at the display and stepped closer to the door as it indicated they were down. But that move didn't go as planned since the elevator came to an abrupt hold.

"What's going on?" Harry asked in a nervous tone. Tim pressed the alarm button, only to find it not working.

"Well it's nice to know that things are working around here." Tim said in a sarcastic tone.

"What are we going to do since the alarm button didn't work?" Harry asked leaning against the wall.

"You are going to stay calm and work out your problems." Came Abby's voice from the speaker. Harry stared at the speaker before turning to Tim, his eyes wider than normal.

"Abby placed us in here?"

"Her and Ziva apparently." Tim said and leaned against the wall opposite Harry.

"Do we have any problems?" Harry asked a few minutes later, looking up from where he had been staring at the floor.

"Not as far as I know." Tim answered, locking eyes with Harry.

"Then we should be able to get out of here easily enough and if they won't let us out I could always…" Harry said and indicated with his hand to the door.

"You could, but that would also expose you. Did you talk to either Abby or Ziva about something concerning us?" Tim asked.

"I talked with Abby last Friday, but I don't see why they would lock us into the elevator. What about you?" Harry said, feeling his mouth go dry, 'Abby wouldn't lock us in because of that discussion, would she?'

"Ziva." Tim merely said, not elaborating.

/Break/

"Those two are more stubborn than a mule on a hot day. And I still can believe that you forgot to install a microphone when you put up the camera." Ziva said watching the screen in front of her.

"Sorry, but I thought I could access the microphone in the elevator, so I didn't find it relevant at the time. But as it looks now we won't get much out of them. Any suggestions?"

"What about some music to lighten the atmosphere?"

/Break/

Harry looked over at the speaker when U Make Me Wanna by Blue started to play. Harry rose an eyebrow and looked at Tim.

"Now what is this about?" Tim asked looking somewhat annoyed.

"Why did you play that song last Friday?" Harry asked and stood straight. They had been in the elevator for about half an hour.

"Don't know. I guess it was Ziva's talking that made me choose it."

"What did you and Ziva talk about?"

"You." Harry's heart skipped a beat, why would Ziva and Tim be talking about him?

"Me?"

"What did you and Abby talk about?" Tim asked avoiding answering Harry's question.

"You." Harry whispered looking at the floor. Tim was about to say something when a new song started to play, I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden. Harry swallowed and worriedly looked up at Tim. 'Screw being burned, I need to know'.

"We talked about you, and the fact that I like you. Like you more than a friend." Harry said and looked down again, not wanting to look at Tim when he rejected him. Harry was taken by surprise when he felt his head being lifted. Tim was looking him in the eye with an unreadable look in his eyes.

"Wanna know what Ziva and I talked about?" Harry gave a weak nod. Tim licked his lips and removed his hand from under Harry's jaw.

"We talked about you, and the fact that I like you more than a friend." Tim said, using Harry's words.

"You mean it?" Harry asked, his eyes softening. Tim merely nodded and lowered his lips to Harry's. Harry gave a small gasp before participating in the kiss. It didn't take long for the kiss to grow from slow and sweet to passionate and slightly openmouthed. Harry wrapped his arms around Tim's neck, molding into the man's body more fully, while his hands went into Tim's hair. Tim wrapped his arms around Harry's waist, his hands ending up on Harry's ass. Harry moaned at the contact and groaned when Tim pushed him up against the wall. Tim bent down lower and deepened the kiss, mapping out Harry's mouth with his tongue.

/Break/

"I think the mules finally went on holiday." Abby said and smiled at the screen while high-fiving Ziva. Tony who had entered at one point gagged a bit.

"I will never be able to look at McGee without seeing that for my inner eye again."

/Break/

Harry wrapped his legs around Tim's waist when he lifted Harry of his feet. Harry smiled into the kiss and wrapped his arms stronger around Tim's neck and shoulders. Tim loosened one of his hands from Harry's ass and put it under his loose shirt, feeling the muscles twitch under his touch.

A.N.
