Charleston, SC
The trip to Charleston, South Carolina was rather uneventful and took a little less than the predicted fifteen hours. Gibbs dropped anchor a few miles off the coast and yawned as he stretched out his stiff muscles, going in search of his husband in the small cabin of the boat.
Tony was sitting on the bed Indian-style with his laptop in his sheet-covered lap, furiously typing away at the keys, he looked up as Gibbs walked into the bedroom "Not a whole hell of a lot to do here in Charleston except for walk around and engage in the history that this city has to offer." Tony informed the man who was stretching lazily out on the bed.
Gibbs shrugged his shoulders and rolled over onto his back, resting his hands behind his head "That's fine, you know… We could just skip going to Savannah and Jacksonville, won't be much to do there either… But I know you wanted to stop here to go to the City Market and the Coastal Fair…" Gibbs said as he looked over at Tony.
Tony nodded as he shut his laptop and turned to face Gibbs, grinning saucily as he crawled over and hovered above the older man, "It would only take us roughly two days to get there… Then we can spend the rest of our vacation in Miami, soaking up sweet Florida heat, clubbing until late in the night… I love the idea." Tony said, kissing his way up Gibbs' chest until he was hovering right above his husband's lips.
Gibbs nodded, grinning as he wrapped his arms around Tony's shoulders and quickly turned their bodies over so he would now be hovering over Tony's body "Thought you would." Gibbs said huskily as he kissed a string of hot and wet kisses along Tony's jawline and down the side of Tony's neck.
Tony squirmed restlessly on the bed as his body was assaulted into over-drive "St-st-stop teasing!" Tony stuttered out his fingers grasping onto Gibbs' shoulders as he arched upward into the firm body above him.
Gibbs grinned as he kissed his way down Tony's chest, then stopped, looking up at Tony with a wicked gleam in his eyes "How does skinny dipping sound?" Gibbs asked, resting his chin against Tony's stomach.
Tony lifted his head, looking down at Gibbs with a raised eyebrow "In the ocean? Where there are sharks? And other sea creatures? That could eat me?" Tony asked incredulously, his eyes growing wider with each question.
Gibbs laughed as he nodded his head, slowly crawling his way back up Tony's body, hovering near inches from his face "Yes in the ocean. And I don't think there are any sharks, we're close to the beach, and they don't typically swim that far inland." Gibbs said, gently stroking a finger down the side of Tony's face.
"Okay and what about the other sea creatures?! Or parasites… Or… other things!" Tony squeaked out, nibbling nervously on his bottom lip as he stared at Gibbs.
Gibbs sighed, shaking his head as he kissed Tony's lips softly "You watch too much TV. The only thing that'll be working its way through your body… Is going to be me." Jethro said as he drew his hand around Tony's hard cock, brushing his thumb over the leaking slit and collecting the liquid, he brought his thumb to his lips and licked it off.
Tony moaned and bucked upward into Gibbs' hip, "Okay… Okay… Let's do it." Tony said as he pushed Gibbs' off his body, he slid off the bed and grabbed one of the bottles of lube and quickly darted out of the cabin.
Gibbs laughed as he grabbed two towels and then followed his eager lover up to the back of the boat where the small platform was located. Tony was sitting on the edge of the platform, his feet dangling over the edge into the ocean as he spun the bottle of lube around in his hands, mindlessly kicking his feet back and forth in the warm coastal water. Gibbs sat down beside Tony and looked over at him, "What's on your mind?" Gibbs asked softly as he slid an arm around Tony's waist.
Tony shrugged and laid his head against Gibbs' shoulder, setting the bottle of lube aside, "Lot of things are on my mind… Don't know if I can put them into words though." Tony said quietly, fidgeting against the rubber mat beneath him.
Gibbs sighed as he kissed Tony's temple, "Try? For me?" Gibbs asked, gently rubbing up and down Tony's back slowly.
Tony shook his head and sighed heavily "I miss the basement… All my thoughts are easier there." Tony said as he inhaled and let his breath out slowly, then began rambling in half-Italian and half-English. Gibbs just stared at Tony as mixed words came out of his young lover's mouth. Gibbs knew he'd have to listen to the drabble until Tony finally got whatever it was he really wanted to say off his chest, he only hoped that it was in full English, or at least he said the Italian words that Gibbs did know.
When Tony finally stopped talking, staring out at the waves surrounding and crashing at the back of the boat, Gibbs stared at the unusually silent man beside him with a raised eyebrow "It's anti-climactic." Gibbs whispered into Tony's ear. Tony laughed and nodded his head as he leaned over, kissing Gibbs softly on the lips.
"I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop… You know, there's always another shoe… We've got… all this happiness around us, and it's like looking at the world from the outside, everyone seems to be happy, in love, or at least getting along with everyone else in the world. We've seen the darkest and ugliest sides of the world as federal agents, and yet… Right now, in this very moment, secluded from the rest of the world, everything is eerily calm. Nobody is shoving cases down our throats, nobody is dying senselessly, nobody is shooting at us… It's like tasting what retirement will be like in ten or fifteen years…" Tony said quietly, pulling his legs out of the water and hugging onto them, chin nestled between his kneecaps.
Gibbs laughed as he drew Tony closer to him, turning his body so he could hold the younger man between his legs and against his chest, "I've tasted retirement before, and believe me when I tell you this – It was not at all peaceful… Then again, that could have been partially Mike's fault. Although, retirement with you does sound rather intriguing… Traveling the world for pleasure instead of business… Take you to all my old haunts when I was a younger agent." Gibbs said as he kissed the back of Tony's head lightly "Aside from all of that, you really need to stop worrying about the other shoe… When it drops, if it drops – I will be there to pick it up with you. Even if the whole damn shoe store falls on top of us Tony, I'm going to be there through everything. Don't doubt that, okay?" Gibbs asked softly as he ran his hands up and down Tony's arms and kissing him reassuringly on the shoulder.
Tony nodded as he turned slightly, draping his legs over Gibbs' thigh, "If a whole shoe store falls on top of us – Can I pick out a few pairs of shoes too keep?" Tony asked, grinning broadly up at Gibbs.
Gibbs laughed as he nodded his head, kissing Tony warmly on the lips "You can keep all of them for all I care." Gibbs said, smiling slightly. Tony giggled as he licked his lips slowly, Gibbs' grin turned mischievous as he scooted back slightly, then in one quick motion, Tony was falling into the ocean and Gibbs was diving in behind him.
When Tony resurfaced, he glared at the soaked head of silver that was wading in the water effortlessly "Bastard." Tony spluttered, grabbing Gibbs by the back of the neck and dragging his pliable body closer, Gibbs chuckled and nodded his head, his hands going to Tony's thighs and hoisting the younger man up into his arms. Tony's arms encircled Gibbs' neck, his fingers lightly playing in Gibbs' hair as the two men floated in the water, their lips touching in light kisses.
Gibbs swam backwards with Tony still attached to his torso, he rested his arms on the back of the boat to keep them afloat all the while keeping their lips and tongues in motion, "I don't think lube works in water." Gibbs whispered, looking back at the tube sitting near his hand.
Tony laughed as he rested his head on Gibbs' shoulder, kissing along the warmed sun-kissed flesh "It will… We buy silicone based lube. It can withstand water better than oil based." Tony said informatively as he grinned up at Gibbs.
Gibbs looked at Tony with a raised eyebrow "You buy. I just use." Gibbs corrected as he grabbed the lube and deftly popped the cap, pouring a generous amount on his fingers, he then reached down with water-heated fingers probing at Tony's entry point. Tony gasped at the intrusion, pressing his forehead against Gibbs' shoulder as agile fingers began stretching and scissoring him, curling against his prostate, Tony let out a low moan, his entire body shuddering.
Tony grabbed the lube and poured some into his open palm, then reached down between their bodies, nimble fingers wrapping around Gibbs' cock as he began stroking the length and heavily coating the throbbing member with the lube "I'm ready for you." Tony whispered into Gibbs' ear lowly, Gibbs nodded as he slowly extracted his fingers from Tony, and then wrapped one hand around his cock, his other arm still firmly on the rubber mat as he guided himself into Tony.
Both men moaned as Gibbs' cock was buried deeply inside of Tony, the waves rocking their bodies together as they picked up their own pace. Tony had his hands firmly planted on the rubber mat as he rose and dropped back down onto Gibbs' cock, while Gibbs straightened out his body and rocked his hips upward into Tony's body, their hips circling in counterpoints for added friction.
Tony whimpered loudly into Gibbs' chest as he dropped back down, his entire body shuddering with raw desire, "Oh fuck… fuck… fuck!" Tony gasped out, his back arching and his head dropping back as a low keening sound escaped his lips and hot shots of come escaped him, dissolving into the ocean around them.
Gibbs groaned as Tony's muscles contracted around him, he wrapped one arm around Tony's waist and began driving himself up and Tony down, at a frantic pace, he knew Tony was close to passing out, he only ever whined when over-stimulation happened, and often times the younger man would pass out afterwards. When Gibbs finally came a few seconds later, he let out a strangled howl, his entire body going rigid as his seed coated the insides of Tony's warm heat.
Tony was lying limply against Gibbs' body, arms dangling off to the sides, his hands slapping into the waves, Gibbs sighed as he tried pushing Tony up toward the platform "Tone… Come on… We got to get out of the water…" Gibbs said as he pulled Tony off his now spent cock and held one arm to Tony's back.
Tony sniffled as he nodded tiredly, he slowly moved off Gibbs' chest, his hands now centered on the platform, his body dangling lazily in the ocean. Gibbs sighed as he turned around, hoisting Tony up onto the platform, laughing as Tony tiredly crawled back into the boat and laid down on the nearest bench. Gibbs pulled himself onto the platform, wrapped a towel around his waist, and grabbed the lube and the other towel, he followed after Tony and laid the other towel down against his husband's back, letting the younger man sleep as he went back to the wheel of the ship and began traversing the ocean towards the dock.
The rest of the morning was spent sleeping in the dock, until around noon when Tony's stomach roared loudly, waking both men up from a deep sleep.
Gibbs laughed as he set his hand down onto Tony's rumbling stomach "Looks like it's time to feed the baby." Gibbs said teasingly, a wide-toothed grin on his face.
Tony gasped in mock-shock, covering his mouth with his hand "Oh no! How could I have ended up pregnant and not even known about it?! What kind of mother am I?!" Tony whined gaily, both men turning to fits of laughter as they laid flat on the bed.
Gibbs sobered up and turned to Tony, kissing him softly on the lips, "You'd be a great mother-father, if it ever came down to it." Gibbs said as he slid out of the bed, pulling on his discarded pair of cargo shorts.
"And you just automatically assume I'd be the mother… Why do I have to be the mother?!" Tony asked, sitting on the edge of the bed as he pulled on a pair of shorts.
Gibbs turned to him, raising a hand up and down his body "Does this look like a motherly figure to you?" Gibbs asked with a raised eyebrow, challenging Tony to say the wrong answer.
Tony sat and stared up and down Gibbs' body for a few minutes, contemplating his answer, "Any figure can be a motherly figure… But no, you're right… You definitely don't have the right curves for it." Tony said as he stood up, sashaying past Gibbs with a grin on his face, his hips swaying as he walked towards the steps "Well, c'mon daddy, we've got to hunt for lunch!" Tony called over his shoulder.
Gibbs stood there with his mouth dangling open as he watched Tony walk past, then quickly shook his head as he heard Tony telling him to come on, "Right behind you darling!" Gibbs teased as he bounded up the stairs, following Tony onto the dock.
The two men found The Glass Onion recommended by TV Star Guy Fieri, "This was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, remember?" Tony asked as they sat down at their table.
Gibbs nodded slightly "I guess, wasn't really paying attention to the show… Had other things going on at the time." Gibbs said with a wink as he grabbed the offered menu and flipped it open.
Tony sighed, shaking his head as he took his own menu and began reading through it, "I'm calling in a new rule – No more sex in front of the TV, you never pay attention to the useful tips that come from Food Network!" Tony griped half-heartedly, his teasing grin bellying his protest.
Gibbs shook his head and slapped the menu shut, knowing what he wanted to eat already, "That rule would last all of twenty minutes, no doubt about that… There is something in your brain that tells you specifically 'When husband is in reach, and near the TV, have him fuck me senseless.'" Gibbs said, grinning widely as the waitress returned, giggling as she held her hand out for Gibbs' menu.
Tony groaned, lowering his head to the table and banging his forehead against the wooden surface, "Can I get ya'll something to drink to start with?" Allie – the waitress – asked in a sweet southern drawl.
"Iced tea for both of us, twist of lemon for him, and no lemon for me." Gibbs said with a smile, Allie nodded as she looked over at Tony who was still burying his head in the table.
Tony lifted his head slightly, "I'm ready to order… I'm going to have the shrimp po boy sandwich with a side of garlic fries." Tony said, keeping his face buried in the menu until he had to absolutely give it back to the girl young enough to be his daughter.
"And I'm going to have the Pork belly. And if we could also get two watermelon salads." Gibbs said, grinning as he handed the menu back to Allie.
Allie nodded as she took both menus, "I'll be back soon with your orders!" Allie said in a chipper tone as she spun on her heel and bounded back towards the kitchen.
"Modesty Jethro… Would it kill you to show even an ounce of it?" Tony mumbled into the table, lifting his head again to look directly at his husband.
Gibbs shrugged and sipped on the water that sat on the table, "Probably would, never tried it before..." Gibbs said, grinning as he reached over, patting Tony's cheek lightly.
Tony sighed, leaning into the warm hand of his husband, "Had a terrible thought while Allie was taking our orders…" Tony said, closing his eyes slightly and lowering his head.
"You want to have a-… Never mind! You want me to control my tongue. Go ahead." Gibbs said, grinning mischievously as Tony stared at him with wide eyes and shaking his head.
"Damn it Jethro! No! She's damned near young enough to be my daughter! And you… well Jesus, she could be your granddaughter!" Tony said, obvious horror in his voice as he stared at Gibbs in shock at the way his lover's mind seems to stay in the gutters.
Gibbs turned his head towards the double doors Allie had disappeared into, then back at Tony, "Oh… Is that what you happened to be thinking about?" Gibbs asked, blinking a few times. Tony nodded mutely, picking apart a cornbread roll and letting the crumbs fall onto the small plate below him. Gibbs sighed as he reached over, removing the muffin from Tony's hands and setting it down on the plate "I'm sorry Tone… It was the conversation from earlier? It's been running through your mind like a bunny…" Gibbs surmised, frowning slightly.
Tony nodded as he slid the plate with the cornbread crumbles out of the way as Allie set his plate down in front of him, then set another plate in front of Gibbs, both men waited until the waitress left, and Tony looked up at Gibbs once again "It has been running in my mind, but I don't want to change anything about how we are… Just looking at the world differently now that I'm a married man." Tony said, waving his fork helplessly in the air before returning to silently eating his meal. Gibbs always hated when Tony got into silent contemplation, but also let the younger man have his time to process whatever was going on in his mind.
Tony and Gibbs walked the streets of Charleston, hands interlocked the entire time as they headed for the City Market. They'd stopped at a few shops along the streets, and hand a couple bags of goodies for the return trip home.
Tony squeaked and bounced excitedly on the tips of his toes "What?! What is it?!" Gibbs asked as he looked the back of Tony's head on the narrow pathway.
"Uh… Oh…Uhm…" Tony looked down at the cobblestone walkway briefly then, grinned shyly "It's a gay pride store…" Tony said, barely above a whisper.
Gibbs shook his head as he moved in closer to Tony "It's a what?" he asked, again, raising an eyebrow as he tried finding whatever Tony was so excited about a few seconds ago.
"A gay pride store, Jethro! You know, lots of rainbows… frilly stuff you wouldn't be interested in!" Tony exclaimed, waving his free hand helplessly in the direction of the rainbow sign hanging above a business a few doors down.
Gibbs shook his head and kissed Tony on the cheek softly "We're pretty much gay, Tony… May as well embrace it." Gibbs said, winking as he skirted around Tony and drug the younger man towards the store.
"Really? I mean… You want to go in?" Tony asked, following Gibbs to the door of the store.
"Tony… Shut up and get in the store, before I change my mind." Gibbs said, holding the door open and pushing Tony into the building.
Tony and Gibbs walked around the store side by side, Tony would pick something up that was pure-rainbow, and Gibbs would shake his head, pointing at something a little less obvious.
Tony held a pair of rainbow converse sneakers in his hands, a wide grin on his face, "So awesome!" Tony squeaked out as he turned around to look at Gibbs who was holding a leather necklace and bracelet set in his hands.
"You can get those, if I can get these for you." Gibbs bargained, grinning slightly as he showed Tony the braided leather necklace choker that had a circular metal band with a painted rainbow going across it, and matching bracelet.
"Really? That's your compromise? I get a pair of shoes, necklace and bracelet?" Tony said, grinning even more. Gibbs nodded and held up the two ties and the metal bike chain bracelet that Tony convinced him into buying "Oh… Point taken." Tony said quietly as he turned back around and grabbed the converse shoes in his size.
"Are we done here? You've practically bought the place out Tony… I mean, two coffee mugs, two ties, shoes, bracelets, necklaces, a teddy bear, and two t-shirts…" Gibbs grumbled as he followed Tony through the store, sighing in relief as Tony stopped in front of the register.
"Yes Jethro, we are done. Then we're off to the City Market, for even more shopping! You really should have planned this honeymoon out a little differently… Taking me to places where I can shop my heart out, not the smartest move." Tony said with a grin as he watched his items being placed into a paper bag, then handed his card over to the clerk.
Gibbs shook his head, pointing towards the door, Tony rolled his eyes and nodded as he waited patiently for the clerk while Gibbs walked out of the store and leaned against the wall by the door.
Tony walked out of the store a few seconds later and sighed as he looked over at Gibbs "You're tired of shopping." Tony stated, clearly not a question.
Gibbs nodded slowly "You know shopping isn't my thing, but this was agreed upon, so we will go to the City Market as we planned too." Gibbs said, grinning slightly as he slid his hand into Tony's back pocket, guiding the younger man towards the market.
After returning from the market, Tony sighed as he collapsed on the bed, frowning slightly as he curled up on his side "Well, that was a waste of time… The only thing of interest that was there was that plank board painting of a boat, but there was no way it'd fit on here, nor was I about to spend five-hundred dollars on it!" Tony griped as he sat up again, grabbing the bag from The Pride.
"It was nice, but yeah… Five hundred was just… unacceptable." Gibbs agreed as he climbed onto the bed, collapsing on his stomach and huffing out a breath of air.
Tony dug through the shopping bag, smiling widely as he pulled out the choker necklace and bracelet, quickly putting on both items, "What do ya think?!" Tony asked, grabbing Gibbs by the shoulder and tugging the older man over onto his back.
Gibbs chuckled as he looked over at Tony, inspecting the collar and nodding his head, "Looks good on you." Gibbs said as he reached up, gently thumbing the rainbow part of the necklace.
Tony nodded as he crawled over to Gibbs, lying down on his side and resting his head on Gibbs' shoulder "Abby would be so proud of me, wearing a collar… a leather one at that!" Tony said, laughing softly as he ran his hand up Gibbs' shirt, resting his hand on his husband's stomach.
Gibbs laughed as he wrapped his arm around Tony's shoulders, kissing the top of his head softly "This isn't going to turn into one of those fetishes, is it?" Gibbs asked curiously.
Tony shook his head and smiled, "No way, BDSM is definitely not a fetish for me… I mean… there are some aspects of it that are fun, but no… I'm not into it like that." Tony said, chuckling softly as he felt Gibbs' tensing slightly against him.
"BDSM…? What the hell is that?" Gibbs asked seriously, raising an eyebrow and his head to look down at Tony.
"Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism… Something you and I never have to worry about." Tony said sincerely, leaning up to kiss Gibbs gently on the lips.
Gibbs tilted his head to the side, then nodded his head "Good… I like the way we are now." Gibbs said, caressing Tony's cheek lightly as he pulled the younger man's face closer again, kissing him deeply and lovingly.
