You'd Be Surprised
"So, how long have you wanted Agent McGee?"
Gibbs nearly spit out his coffee in surprise to Fornell's out of the blue question and he turned to face him. He swallowed the hot beverage before asking, "What?"
"Well, it doesn't take a genius Jethro to see how you look at the guy. So…how long have you wanted him?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that. In the meantime, you may want to tone back the hungry looks you've been throwing the guy."
Blinking, he turned and walked away. Fornell didn't know shit.
"So, when are you going to snap and bend Agent McGee over a desk?"
The hell? Gibbs turned from getting his coffee and saw his long time friend standing there all innocent. Yeah, innocent.
"It's a little early."
Fornell looked around him and nodded. "Haven't had coffee yet."
Gibbs just grunted before turning back to getting his coffee and just as he took a drink, Fornell started talking again. He was starting to wish he wouldn't talk…at all. "So, again, when are you going to snap and bend Agent McGee over a desk?"
"Fornell…"
"No need to be sensitive. It's not like anyone doesn't know, beside the young agent himself. I swear, that young man of yours is observant with everything but when it comes to anything that has to do with him, he is oblivious."
"Hmm."
"So, when are you going to tell Agent McGee you're in love with him?"
Gibbs slammed the switch off on the elevator and turned to Fornell. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Just asking a question," Fornell shrugged.
"Cut the crap."
"Fine. I'm tired of seeing you alone, and you obviously like the young man. I'm just wondering when you're going to stop looking and finally go for it."
"It's not that simple."
"Do you love him?"
Blinking at the sudden question, all he could do was nod which Fornell returned.
"Well there you go. It is simple. You love him, you want him, go ask him out on a date. You'd be surprised with your result."
He frowned at Fornell. "Why is this so important to you?"
Fornell reached over and flipped the switch back before answering, "You're my friend."
"So, when you gonna ask Tim to marry you?"
He didn't even look up from what he was doing when he answered, "Tonight."
"Good. It's about time."
Chuckling, he threw a piece of fine Fornell's way and went back to carving some small pieces.
