Gunny turns as arms wrap themselves around his middle and he smiles "Hey Abs...I'm almost done"
She chuckles and pulls him away from the computers "No...you can finish it later, after lunch!" with that she removes his Lab coat before pushing him out the door "Lets go!"
He chuckles as he links arms with her "Are we heading upstairs to meet Tony and Tim again?" a smile crosses his face at the memories of the past two weeks of meeting their other halves for lunch.
Abby bounces on the spot and once the doors open, on the floor of the Bullpen, she drags him out and towards the desks as she shouts "Team Kate! Lunch time!"
Gunny smiles as he walks over to Tonys desk "Hey Tony"
He looks up from his Paperwork and smirks "Hey Jethro" he turns to glance at Kate "Can we go now?"
Kate rolls her eyes as everyone gives her pleading eyed looks and she sighs "Fine...you all have one hour!"
Tony jumps up from his seat and takes Jethros hands as he drags him over to the elevator followed quickly by Abby, Tim and Ziva "Come on Jethro"
Gunny smiles as he moves to press against Tonys chest but he frowns as he pulls away. He nervously looks at the floor as he starts to bite his fingernails (He says he wants you...but he won't allow anything more intimate than a kiss!)...He turns his head as he hears his name being called and frowns as everyone stares at him "What?...Did I space out again?"
Abby gives him a sad smile "Yeah you did...but only for five minutes this time"
He lowers his gaze as leaves the elevator "Sorry Guys...I don't mean too"
Abby and Ziva move to each side and links their arms with him, forcing Tim and Tony to walk behind as they lead Jethro out of the building.

He starts to chew the plastic spoon as he waits for the other men to order and turns his head to the left as Ziva taps him
"Gibbs...take the spoon out of your mouth as it will only worry Tony"
He nods and takes it out to put it on the table as he sighs "It's all I ever seem to do to him lately"
Abby frowns and turns in her seat to face him, as he is sat between them, while taking his hand "He loves you Gibbs"
Ziva nods and takes his other hand "Yes, he is head over ankles for you"
Gunny raises an eyebrow "You mean 'head over heels' Ziver"
She shrugs "Either way is correct"
He sighs and glances in the direction of the man in question "I know deep inside that he loves me and that I love him...but he won't allow me to do more than a kiss on the cheek or a short one on his lips" he lowers his gaze as he starts to play with the fingers in his hands "He won't have sex of any type with me...and sometimes I wonder if...if S-Sir broke me"
They both glance at each other before moving as one to hug their upset friend
"Gibbs...Tony is just giving you time to get comfortable with the right type of intimacy"
"Ziva's right! Tony is trying to show you the difference between true love and the fucked up kind"
Gunny nods "I understand...but I need it, I've spent fifteen years selling myself for food and shelter...and now that I have found someone who loves me, for me...I want to share the sex part with him" he frees his hands and runs them through his hair "But...he'll get hard and then when I try to get things started...he pulls away and refuses to touch me until he goes soft, even if he gets hard in his sleep and wakes up...while thinking I'm not awake, he'll pop into the Bathroom and quickly jerk himself off before returning" he blinks away the tears of rejection he feels "He says I'm not damaged goods...but then why does he reject me every single time?"
Both girls move forward and tightly hug him
"Gibbs, you need to talk with him!"
"Abby is right...you need to talk things out with him"
He nods and wraps his arms around them both before he kisses them both on the top of their heads "Thanks for listening to me go on" he looks up and smiles as he spots Tony and Tim approaching the table "Come on Girls...Lunch has arrived"

Tony frowns as he notes the stiff posture of his Lover and then spots the way Ziva and Abby both look at him before discreetly shaking their heads and he sighs as he asks "Jethro? Did you space out yet again?"
Gunny sighs and looks at the table "No...I only have had three funny turns today"
Abby glares at him "Tony!? Why do you have to talk to him like that?"
He reaches out and soothes her by rubbing his hand over her shoulders "Abs...I don't mind"
Ziva folds her arms across her chest "No Gibbs! I agree with Abby!...There was no need to talk to you like that!"
Gunny winces as he notes Tonys posture stiffen further and he nervously plays with the plastic fork before starting to chew it once more as he avoids the narrowed eyed gaze.
Tony growls as he runs his hands through his hair before pulling the fork away from his mouth "I've told you Jethro...I don't like it when you chew things!" he turns to Abby and Ziva "I...we are leaving!" with that he tugs Jethro by his arm past Abby and drags him out of the building.
He flinches from the anger and glances away before playing with his fingers as he is pushed out of the door and dragged into the alley "Gunny...er I mean...I didn't mean to anger you" as he spots a hand enter his vision he flinches away while lifting his hands to protect his head.
Tony sighs and paces the ground as he tries to control his temper "I don't know what to do! You're getting better...but you keep on spacing out or referring to yourself in third person or chewing things!" he stops and steps infront of him "What can I do to make you fully right?"
Gunny looks up with watery eyes "I-I want us back to how we were...I want...I want you to t-touch me like you used too"
He blanches and steps away "I...can't you you...not after...not...not yet"
He lets the tears fall as he looks away "Why n-not?"
Tony sighs as a tear falls down his cheek at the memories of when he found him "I watched...watched him fuck you and...and I can't! I couldn't protect you! And in doing so...he broke you right infront of me!"
Gunny looks up and slowly reaches out, ignoring the way the body tenses, before gently tugging him into a tight hug "T-Tony, I know that it...it must have been hard to have watched that...but I-I need to know that...you...you still want me that way" he takes a deep calming breath "Because if you don't...I can't s-stay here, as I need more" with that he releases him and steps away "I'll give you u-until tonight to make your mind up...otherwise I'm gone and you'll n-never see me again" he leans forward to kiss Tony on his cheek before stepping away and nodding as he turns and heads back to Work while wiping away the tears of despair from his eyes as he leaves Tony standing there staring after him.
