"Dinner smells good, Tobias." Gibbs said as he let himself and Tim into the Fornell home. "Hey Em" He greeted his niece as he hugged the teen, hello.
"Hey Uncle Gibbs," the red headed girl, his pseudo niece hugged him back tightly. "Good, you bought Agent McGee for me." The red haired young girl, not yet eighteen, Emily, was elated to see her Uncle's youngest agent. This was the first time she'd seen him outside the walls of NCIS. He always had time for her, showing her cool stuff on the computer or helping her with her homework.
Tim stood by the door, removing his coat. He was unsure about this, but Jethro's promise had enticed him to come. He knew where he stood with Tobias Fornell, he was NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, but Emily Fornell kind of terrified him, mostly because she was upfront and bold, like her mother. He'd met her a handful or more times before, each time at NCIS headquarters with the exception of the one time at her Uncle Gibbs house when he was installing his computer and Uncle Gibbs was babysitting her. Sure, she was nice and polite to him, unlike her mother, they even had shared interests in Science and in Mathematics, but he'd never been in to their home. He felt out of place. "Come on in McGee, don't be shy." Tobias said warmly. "Em will show you where everything is, dinner is 30 minutes out." He headed back into the galley kitchen. Gibbs sat at the bench, perched up upon a tall barstool. Jethro sent a wink to Tim as Emily tugged him over to the opposite side of the room, where the office nook was located.
Tim waited for Emily's computer to boot up, as he did that he checked all the connecting cables, ensuring everything was as it should be. He started running diagnostics as Em sat off to the side watching him work in fascination. Before long, he'd isolated the problem and was working on solving it.
"Dinner!" Jethro said softly, as he snuck up behind Tim. "Come on."
Emily watched with fascination as her uncle's eyes glazed over with lust, looking at Tim who was working hard away. Tim's tongue was caught between his lips and teeth, his lower lip jutting out. "Be right there" Tim whispered as his eyes connected with Jethro's, having a silent, lust-filled conversation full of unspoken promises and desire. "Right, let's go eat." Tim said finally, as Emily witnessed them both put their masks back in place and retreat to the dining table.
Dinner was non-stop conversation, mostly by Emily and her rapid firing questions for Tim. She liked what she saw when her 'Uncle Gibbs' and Tim had their silent conversation. Tonight she'd realised, was the most happy she'd ever seen her Uncle. He was smiling and funny, engaging in conversation with his younger agent, as well as with her and her Dad. She couldn't help but stare at the huge hickey that was beginning to fade on her uncle's neck though. It was so obvious to her that Tim had given it to him, she'd caught his eyes after staring at it and his ears had turned red in a guilty blush.
"So do you have a partner, Tim?" Emily asked suddenly interrupting her father and Uncle's conversation about her studies. "A gorgeous, sexy guy like you, surely has a partner." She winked at him.
"Ah… I've just begun seeing someone." He admitted softly. "Why?!"
"Ooh, another one who's got a mystery lover." Tobias teased the younger agent, at his friend's expense. "Must be something in the water over at NCIS"
"Dad!" Emily said shocked at her father's teasing.
"What Em?! Uncle Gibbs clearly has a new friend too!" Her dad said, pointing to his friend's neck.
"Eww, no offence Dad but stay away from that. Tim's a great looking guy though! My friend's think he's hot! So I was curious. I could introduce you to them." She turned to Tim, offering up her friends. "Krystal likes older men, she'd be totally into you." Emily began. She knew she was playing with fire. She'd heard stories from her mum about how jealous her uncle Gibbs was when they were married. She wanted to see it for herself. She was convinced that her uncle and his agent were together. She needed proof! "Of course, then there's Erica, she's demure, if you're into that. Ooh, Ooh, Ooh! Lucy would be perfect for you. Her Dad's a fed too and she loves anyone who owns a gun. Guns get her all hot and bothered. You two could have a blast together. There's Naomi, she's a computer geek too." She took a deep cleansing breath before continuing " Of course, if you didn't work for my Uncle Gibbs, I'd make a play for you myself. You're good with your hands, that's my type. You've got beautiful, long slender fingers perfect for-" She said with a sultry smile and wink.
"Emily!" Tobias cut her off suddenly, deeply embarrassed that his daughter would blatantly come on to McGee like that in their home.
"Typing. I was going to say typing." The young girl suppled smirking at her dad and winking at Tim.
"He's spoken for already, Emily Rose!" Gibbs growled simultaneously at her. There it was the proof she needed, right there. A huge neon sign above a green with envy Gibbs. Her uncle and Tim were hooking up! Tobias had caught it too. If the full name didn't catch his attention and growl, the look of pure jealousy sure did.
"Ok, not touching that point at all. Except to stop you lusting after McGee, young lady." Her father warned. "You're too young, he's too old for you and as Gibbs clearly said. He's taken!" Poor Tim wanted to sink into his chair and disappear. Jethro had nudged him with his foot under the table playfully. Tim's whole face was flushed with embarrassment, his ears bright red too. He couldn't meet anyone's eyes at the table. "Emily- you get to wash the dishes for that stunt!" Fornell raised his voice.
After dinner Tobias and Tim went back to the computer so Tim could run down the new security protocols he'd placed on it. Meanwhile Gibbs offered to help Emily with dishes. He felt horrible she was in trouble. He knew she was baiting them and he was doing really well of concealing his jealousy until she threw herself in the mix. "Sorry Em, didn't mean to growl at you" he said kissing her cheek as he snagged the tea towel from the bench to help dry the dishes.
"It's ok, really." Emily placated. "I was baiting you."
"Why?" He asked.
"Wanted to see if you'd admit it was you boinking Tim." Emily accused and he couldn't meet her eyes.
"I see," Gibbs said slightly pitched.
"Yeah, so how long have you guys been boinking?"
"It's not like that Em and your father doesn't know!" He began. He and his niece had no secrets between them. With parents like Diane and Tobias, he'd been her confidant for many years now. "He knows I'm seeing a man, but not who." Gibbs admitted softly.
"Your secrets safe with me." She whispered, sealing her lips in promise. "But you should work on concealing it better. It was so obvious." Gibbs kissed his niece in thanks and appreciation. "But it's so great and Tim's so gorgeous. You're lucky!"
"One day you'll find a guy as great as Tim, if not better." He promised as he kissed her again and left her the put the clean dishes away. "I promise we'll tell him soon."
Tim eyed Fornell suspiciously. Fornell had been staring at him ever since Gibbs growled at Emily. Finally he got fed up with it and asked "what?!"
Fornell pulled Tim's collar aside slightly "Ah, that's what had Emily questioning you." He said, spying the trail. "Sorry about that. She's going through a phase. Apparently, high school boys don't cut it now. I don't think she meant anything by it. Personally, I wish she'd stay the hell away from all boys. But no such luck, she's seventeen." The FBI agent explained.
"It's all good." Tim replied. "As I said the relationship is new. Very new!"
"Like I said, must be something in the water at NCIS. Walked in on Gibbs and someone earlier today!" McGee did a perfect job of looking shocked and sputtering before forming a coherent thought.
"Gibbs?" He asked, gauging his response. "Please tell Ziva, you know who it is. It's been driving Ziva crazy for two days. In turn, she's driving me crazy!"
"But not you?" Tobias asked. "You're not at all curious for yourself?"
"Curiosity killed the cat, Fornell!" Tim said. "I'm always the cat. Lesson learnt. Seriously, it's not my business!"
"Tim knows better than to stoop to that level, Tobias!" Jethro said, interrupting them knowing his lover wouldn't lie too well if questioned. "Ready Tim, it's a fair drive back to Silver Spring." Jethro lied smoothly, they both knew they were headed to his place in Alexandria, straight upstairs to bed!
Tim barely had enough time to buckle his seat belt before Gibbs' beautiful yellow charger had torn out of Fornell's driveway and taken off down the street. As his muscle car turned the corner, Gibbs haphazardly pulled over, threw the car in park, grabbed Tim and bought him in for a passionate, sultry, sexy kiss. "You better not be leaving me for Em!" He whispered jealously, brushing his lips against Tim's. "You belong to me."
"Yes, I do." Tim confirmed. "As soon as I'm finished taking you, you can take me." Tim offered, kissing him back. "But I am first!"
"Oh, I hope you don't have plans for the rest of the night." Gibbs said sweetly.
"Emily really got to you, hey?" Tim teased. "She's a bit more like Diane than I thought."
"God yes," Jethro moaned. "She's right about a few things though. You're gorgeous and sexy and you have those beautiful, long slender fingers, perfect for fingering."
"She said typing." Tim said in jest.
"We both know she meant fingering. And I can't wait to have them in my ass."
"Well take me home, Jethro."
