[From Under Covers]
...
The light from the early morning slowly made its way under my eyelids, slowly waking me up from a deep sleep. Peeking my eyes open I noticed that it was only 5 in the morning, so the light wasn't actually sunlight. Lifting my head up it was just some kids playing with flashlights in the room across the street. However, I was already up so might as well do something. Shifting to a more comfortable position I tilted my head up and smiled. Tony was dead to the world, head cocked back, mouth open to produce a small snore and his normally pristine hair was all in disarray. I loved it. I lied there for a while, just thinking about how this could very possibly be our last day under cover. Our last day to 'pretend' to be together. That didn't sit well with me. What was going to happen once all of this was over? Pushing the negative thoughts aside I decided that I might as well make the most of our time. I loved spending time with him in this type of setting, like a couple and I would be sad to see it end. So if this is it then I want to get a good amount of relationship stuff in before we have to get back to work.
"Tony?..." I whispered, hoping to get his attention without alerting the camera that I knew was still on us. He snorted before mumbling something in Italian but didn't wake up. I grinned in amusement, reaching up to lightly tap his cheek.
"Tony?...Jean-Paul…..dearest…" I cooed hoping to wake him up easily. Luck didn't seem to be on my side. Realizing that I needed a stronger tactic I carefully leaned up and pressed a light kiss to the side of his lips. This got me a low hum. I watched him for a moment and giggled in surprise when he pursed his lips. I rolled my eyes and leaned up to press a kiss against them, chuckling when I heard him laugh. I rose a brow as he finally creaked open his eyelids.
"You were awake this whole time, weren't you?" I pursed my lips in amusement. He grinned at me cheekily.
"Ever since you started ogling me." He informed. I could instantly feel my cheeks heating up.
"I was not ogling you…..not with that bedhead anyway." I quipped with a gasp. Tony chuckled and wrapped me up into his arm, burying me farther into his chest as we chuckled.
"You know now that we're up we should do something productive." I suggested, sneaking a look up at him. Tony frowned and glanced over at the clock.
"What could we do at 5 in the morning?" he asked in confusion. I grinned.
"Well we could always shower…." I trailed off, lifting my head to look him in the eye. His brow shot up and a grin spread across his face. I watched as his face scrunched up thoughtfully.
"Hmm….then we could be ready for anything earlier…" he suggested, already buying into the idea.
"Yea, and that way we could be done before anyone came into the office…..you know to watch the camera or something…" I added pointedly. Tony lifted his head to look over at our camera flowers before smiling down at me.
"Race ya!" he darted towards the master bathroom, nearly tripping over the sheets as he did. I laughed quietly and followed him in, already hearing the water turn on. When I reached him I gently pried the earwig out of his ear and set it on the counter next to my own, just in case.
...
Later on in the morning after we had showered….among other things...Tony was stretched out, his arm and head dangling off the bead as he had fallen back to sleep. I however decided to keep watch; besides once I was up I was up for the day.
"Tony…Hey DiNozzo!" McGee shouted into the earwig we were now wearing. Tony groaned and swatted at his ear sleepily.
"Tony!" McGee shouted again, obviously watching the screen from NCIS.
"This is great, you're sleeping in a 5 star hotel and I'm a waiter." I heard him mutter bitterly.
"Wanna trade places McGee?" I asked, watching Tony fondly. Yes it wasn't all that appealing to watch but because it was Tony I found it adorable.
"You're awake." McGee realized as I made my way in front of the camera.
"Since 0500…. He snores." I explained grimacing internally at my lie. Was that really the best I could come up with?
"Got a package here for you. Ziva said you would know what it was." he informed. I turned towards the camera in surprise.
"The shades? Can you bring them up with breakfast?" I asked, excited to see just what they could do. Sometimes Ziva's connections were handy.
"Sure. Gibbs wants Tony up too." McGee added. I chuckled and glanced back over at him.
"My pleasure." I assured deviously and walked over towards him.
"Jean-Paul, my little furry bear. Wake up." I cooed in a sing-songy voice while I sneakily dumped some water over his head. Tony yelped in surprise and leapt up onto the bed into a defensive pose.
"I'm in the ready position boss!" he shouted instinctively as he stood up on the bed in his underwear. I stared at him incredulously, trying desperately not to laugh.
