A/N: Ha… two chapters in one day. But I was too excited with this chapter to stop writing. I'll probably be grumpy tomorrow morning. So worth it. I don't own NCIS or Spring Awakening. I own only Kenzie and Aeron. I think I now own the chair-kissing, which HAS become my trade-mark. Am I saying too much? Sorry. Read on if you're intrigued (which you should be).

Oh! And sorry for not making last chapter at least up on your McNozzo-meter. I hope this chapter suffices.

~*~

McGee groaned as something pinched him. It had been another dreamless night, at least toward the end. He had just finished up a lovely dream about kissing Tony in a vineyard, which he guessed he had (or Aeron had) gotten from Spring Awakening.

He opened his brown eyes and looked at Aeron, who was grinning, her face inches away from the Mit graduate's nose.

"Morning!" she sang.

"I guess I'm better now…" McGee said, rubbing his eyes.

Aeron handed him his cell phone, "Call Tony and say you're fine and you'll be in to work today…"

"Thank you, Mom," McGee replied, flipping his phone open and finding Tony's number.

Aeron ran out of the room as McGee slowly got out of bed.

~*~

Grant it, McGee returned to work that day. Gibbs cared little, or he did care but never showed it. Abby and Ziva had worried (as Ziva had told Abby anyway yesterday) but were happy to see McGee back. Abby and Ziva had hugged him extra long when he had entered. Tony didn't do anything, just shook his hand awkwardly and had returned to his desk.

It's like yesterday never happened.

Work was almost normal today, except that Tony hardly talked to him.

'What are they discussing, he and Kenzie, I mean,' McGee asked his own Muse.

I don't know… came the tiny reply from within.

McGee shrugged and returned to work. Both he and Tony had a lot of work to catch up on. Ziva and Abby left early because what used to be called 'Girl Time' had become 'Date Night' which was frequenting almost every other day. Gibbs had left at the normal time that he did, and soon the squad-room was empty. Except for Tony and McGee, and by extension, Kenzie and Aeron.

Tony looked over at McGee a couple of times. Every time he looked, something would click and he would turn back to his computer, obviously debating with Kenzie inside his head.

Finally, Tony stood up and strode over to McGee. McGee backed up his chair to look at him. He stood up to meet the other man face to face.

Tony gazed into McGee's eyes for a few minutes before he leaned in close to the younger man.

Oh—"God!" Aeron yelled, flashing out of McGee at a running pace. Kenzie appeared, sighing, and followed the smaller Conscience to the bathroom, which was clearly where McGee's Muse was headed.

~*~

"Aeron!" Kenzie called when she was in the bathroom. The aforementioned muse was in the corner, "Aeron…"

"What do you want from me, Kenzie?" Aeron asked, still huddled into the corner.

"Just to have a little chat," Kenzie replied, giggling. She sat on the floor next to the younger girl and sighed.

"About what?" Aeron asked.

"Life? The world… how much my life is starting to suck…" Kenzie replied, in a slow, egotistic-sounding monotone.

"Your life? Sucking? Don't you have the Immortal Muse of that other man? What's her name?" Aeron replied, sounding slightly sarcastic.

Kenzie looked at her. She was so innocent-looking, but so wrong, "There is no other woman, Aeron. No other Immortal Conscience exists beyond me and you. Just the Guardian Angels, and they don't ever get to talk to their charges, as you must know…"

Aeron looked at her, "Then who were you talking about last Friday?"

"You haven't figured it out yet, have you?"

"Should I have?"

~*~

"Tony, Aeron and Kenzie, shouldn't we follow them?" McGee asked, trying to find some way past the older agent. He wasn't really that worried about Aeron, she was a big girl. McGee was sure that Tony was about to do something he wouldn't do, as he already had a boyfriend, for Crissakes.

"No… She'll be fine, and you know that, McGee," Tony said, grabbing the MIT graduate's arm firmly. McGee twitched, and managed not to look at Tony, "Tony, what about your boyfriend? Or am I just some kind of practice because you know me?"

"What?" Tony stepped back, but only a little bit. His hand still clutched McGee's arm as if McGee could slip away and become the wind, or something.

"That boy you were talking about. Didn't you put some moves on him yet this weekend?"

"McGee…"

~*~

"Aeron. It's you. I love you…" Kenzie said, smiling.

"You love me? Kenzie I—" Aeron was cut off as Kenzie had taken a microphone out a la Hanschen from Spring Awakening.

"Come, cream away the bliss, travel the world within my lips, fondle the pearl of your distant dreams… Haven't you heard the word of your body? O, you're gonna be wounded… O, you're gonna be my wound… O, you're gonna bruise too… O, I'm gonna be your bruise…"

And with that said, Kenzie leaned in and closed the gap between them.

~*~

"McGee… I haven't put the moves on him! Not… not yet…" Tony said, stepping in close. McGee backed away in step with him, but fell back into his chair. Tony fell on top of him. He went to get up, to help McGee back up, but thought better of it. He instead put one foot on the ground, moving the other one in between the other man's legs on the chair. He placed one hand on the armrest, and one hand was left to very sensually place a lock of McGee's red hair behind his ear…

~*~

"Oh God…" Aeron said, pushing Kenzie away quickly.

Kenzie smiled, her eyes still closed, "I know," her green eyes fluttered slowly open. "When we look back, thirty years from now, tonight will seem unbelievably… beautiful."

Aeron looked at her incredulously, raising her pale eyebrows, "And… in the meantime?"

"Why not?" Kenzie replied, leaning in for another kiss.

~*~

"S-So after this, you'll prance off to his house or something?" McGee asked, his blush apparent.

Tony shook his head and closed the very fine gap between them. He was gentle at first, and McGee didn't struggle. From the feel of things, McGee would have thought Tony didn't have ulterior motives. Tony broke away, but didn't budge from his position on the chair, "You're wrong, you know. There is no other man…"

He leaned in and kissed McGee again, harder this time, when he came up for air again, he added, "Just… just you…"

~*~

Kenzie wouldn't let go as fast as they had the first time. Aeron felt herself get swept up in the feelings she had for the older girl, and got in close, wrapping her arms around the older girl's shoulders. Kenzie gripped the smaller girl's arms. Aeron finally shook off her passion and broke away.

"I thought we were only going to talk, Kenzie…"

"So are you sorry we—"

"No! No Kenzie, I love you. As I have never loved anyone!" Aeron shouted.

~*~

McGee finally turned his head to the side, embarrassed, "I'm sorry I got jealous over nothing… I've loved you for a long time now, Tony… It was painful to think of you with somebody else…"

Aeron and Kenzie appeared wuite suddenly into the small arrangement of desks. Tony and McGee hardly noticed, too caught up with each other. Even Aeron and Kenzie were oblivious to the change of scenery, still sitting in the same positions they had left the bathroom in.

Kenzie and Tony smiled enigmatic smiles at their respectful new playthings and said, "…And so you should."

McGee and Aeron found themselves speaking together: "O, I'm gonna be wounded… O, I'm gonna be your wound…"

Tony and Kenzie joined them, "…O, I'm gonna bruise you... O, you're gonna be my bruise…"

And as Aeron disappeared into McGee, and Kenzie into Tony, they heard the rest of the universe, it seemed, sing, "O, you're gonna be wounded, O, I'm gonna be your wound. O, you're gonna bruise too, O, I'm gonna be your bruise…"

~*~

Hmmm… foreshadowing? No spoilage for you! I'm so excited for the rest of this story now! Sorry for the Spring Awakening references, they're relevant, you'll see.

Okay, Aeron's going to go practice writing smut. I can tell there will be some in later chapters, so I'm going to hone my skills. No smut for you just yet! Be patient (I'm talkin' to you, MissFlapjack!), especially since… well… you'll see (Aeron winks as she runs off to hone her smut-writing skills).
