Gunny nervously bites his fingernails and tugs at the tie that's around his neck before starting to chew it, its been a month since Tony rescued him...two weeks since he has left the Hospital and now he is standing in the elevator waiting for them to reach their floor for both of their Interviews, as apparently they need to make it formal so that's why they had to wait an extra week before coming here. He jumps as a hand touches him and quickly pulls away while shouting "Gunny Stop! Keep still Gunny!"
Tony sighs at the outburst and hits the emergency stop button before soothingly running a hand across his Lovers shoulders "Calm down Jethro...you'll be fine as it's only Abs, who already has told me she wants you as her Assistant" with that he gently tugs the tie out of his mouth "And try not to chew things or shout...for me?"
He lowers his gaze and lifts a hand to run it through his hair "Sorry Tony...I'll try not to, but...er Abs knows about my...er" he trails off as he begins to bite his nails once more.
He sighs and tugs him into a hug "She knows about you switching off at times along with your need to chew things...come on its Abs! I can't keep anything hidden from her!"
Gunny chuckles and returns the hug "You have done so much for me...yet I've done nothing but cause you trouble since you met me!"
Tony shakes his head before he kisses his cheek "I love you Jethro...I would do anything for you"
He feels tears pricking his eyes as he tightens his hold "Gunny loves you too...er...I mean..."
He chuckles "Yeah Jethro...I know" with that he pulls back and smiles as he straightens up the other mans appearance "You'll be fine"
Gunny nervously bites his bottom lip and leans forward to peck his cheek before smiling as the lift starts up. As the doors open he walks out and discreetly waves as Tony goes one way while he goes the other.
He's lost...he turns a left and then a right...and he is still lost (Shit! Tony isn't going to be happy!...At least he won't hit you like Sir) a deep shiver racks through his body at the memory's of Senior hitting him and he presses forward through the maze of corridoors.
A nervous chuckle escapes from his chest as he ends up somehow back to the elevator. He runs a shaky hand through his hair only to jump out of his skin as a hand touches his shoulder and he instinctively protects his head while biting his bottom lip to stop the shout from escaping, as he knows Tony doesn't like it when he shouts, before hesitantly looking up to spot a man with a concerned look on his face
"You ok there? I didn't mean to startle you...but what are you doing here?"
Gunny nervously lowers his arms and plays with his tie "Gunny is...er I mean I'm looking for Abby...I-I have an Interview"
The man raises an eyebrow and then nods "You're the person she wants for her Assistant? You're Leroy Gibbs?"
He shakes his head "I-I go by my middle name...Jethro"
He looks him over and then extends his hand "Leon, Leon Vance"
Gunny gives him a small smile as he shakes the offered hand "Nice to meet you"
Leon smirks and then narrows his eyes "You're Military?"
He nods and straightens "Gunnery Sergeant Leroy Jethro Gibbs"
He smiles "Come, follow me...I'll take you to Miss Sciuto"
Gunny nods and walks in time with him "So...you Work here?"
Leon chuckles "You could say that. So...what made you choose to apply for the Job?"
He goes quiet and lowers his gaze "I've had a hard time of late and...and have made friends with Abs, after the thing with her previous Assistant trying to kill her...I just want to keep her Safe by being close along with being able to pay my way with T-" he pauses as he realises something and a true smile crosses his face "With my Lover...I love him"
He nods and smiles as he reaches the door "Well, that suits me fine...tell Miss Sciuto that it is a Yes from me"
Gunny frowns but nods "Ok...Thanks for showing me the way"
Leon chuckles "No Probs" before turning around and heading back in the direction they came.
He stands outside the door to take a calming breath before knocking and slowly opening it "Abs?"
She looks up and smiles "Jethro! Take a seat!"
Gunny smiles in relief and takes a seat "Hey Abs...Sorry I'm late, I got lost but got rescued and brought here...he said to tell you that it's a Yes from him?"
Abby frowns "Who was it?"
He thinks back...and turns as he hears a clicking noise and frowns "What?"
She nervously chews her bottom lip "You spaced out there for a while...you ok?"
Gunny nods "Yeah" and at the look he receives he frowns "What?"
Abby rolls her eyes "Who lead you here?"
"Leon...Leon Vance" he watches in shock as her eyes get impossibly wider "What is it?"
She shakes herself free of the shock and then suddenly remembers something "Hang on!...Rewind! You said he said that it was a yes to you from him? But you didn't know who he is which means you didn't know him but he knew you me but he was fine with that and so it's a yes! Yeah?"
Gunny just looks at her in shock and then in confusion "I didn't understand a word you just said"
Abby rolls her eyes and gets up to walk around the table and sits in his lap "You have got the Job! The man you met, Leon Vance, is the big Boss...he is the Director of NCIS"
He frowns "He can't be...he didn't have a toothpick"
She chuckles before standing and taking his hand "There's a rumor going around that his Wife has banned him from using them...Anyway, lets get you re-acquainted with Mass Spec! As he has missed you so much!"
Gunny just smiles as he is dragged from the room and down the stairs (Tony is going to be so proud!). He stops before he walks into her as she suddenly stops
"Oh I nearly forgot! You'll need a coat!" with that she pushes him through the door and rushes into her office only to return with a white Lab coat "It's the only part of the Uniform I like"
He smiles as he accepts her help in putting it on but frowns as she shakes her head
"This will not do"
Gunny looks down at himself and then begins go bite his nails "You...you don't want Gunny?"
Abbys eyes widen as she realises what he thought she meant before she shakes her head "No Gibbs! I meant your Outfit" with that she removes his tie and tugs the helm of his shirt from from his trousers while undoing the top three buttons to his shirt before stepping back to get a good look at him "Turn around for me"
He nods and slowly turns around "What do you think?"
She smiles and goes to answer but a voice from the door beats her to it
"The word 'Sexy' comes to mind"
Gunny spins on the spot and runs over to envelope Tony into a tight hug "Gunny got Job! Gunny is Abbys Assistant"
Tony smiles and returns the hug before turning his head to plant a kiss on his neck "I'm proud of you Jethro"
He pulls back and gives him his special half smile "Gunny loves you Tony...I love you"
He chuckles before replying with a smile of his own "I love you too Jethro" with that he straightens up "Now, both of you are looking at the new Probationary Field Agent Anthony DiNozzo Junior"
Abby squeal and launches herself at the two men "This has to be the best day! Ever!"
Tony just shakes his head as he hugs them both "Yeah...has to be one of the best"
Gunny nods "Yes Tony...I'm getting there"
She pulls back and then nods "We'll all go out for Lunch! Us three, Duckman and Tim!"
Tony glances at the clock "I'll ask Tim...but it's my first day and I don't want to take the piss Abs"
She sighs "Fine! If not today, tomorrow then?"
He nods before quickly pecking them both on the cheek before turning around and running up the stairs back to his new desk.
Gunny watches him go and sighs as he turns to Abby "So...where do you want me?"
