[Sometime in the future. Episode TBT]

...

Claire's POV:

Finally it was the end of the day. I had finished all my paperwork and was headed home. I was hoping that Tony would finish up soon too. We had plans for tonight, provided nothing came up since we were still keeping our relationship under wraps. I pulled on my coat and grabbed my purse, making my way towards the elevator.

"Night everyone." I called as I made my way across the bullpen. Tony and I shared a subtle glance as I walked closer to his desk.

"Tony, head home. Its late, go get some sleep." Gibbs told him, never looking up from his computer. I faltered in my step a little and the two of us looked at each other in confusion. The timing of this was too coincidental.

"Are you sure boss?" Tony asked glancing again at me as I walked on past him.

"Yea go home." Gibbs assured. Tony leapt up and gathered his stuff, meeting me at the elevator. The doors opened and we stepped inside.

"That was weird right?" Tony quickly asked.

"Very weird." Tony and I leaned our heads out of the space and watched Gibbs suspiciously as the doors closed.

"….you don't think he knows do you?"

"No of course not." Tony countered immediately. We looked at each other and laughed. I leaned into Tony and he gently took my hand as we rode down the elevator.

3rd Person POV:

"When do you think they're going to figure out that we know about them dating?" McGee causally asked once Tony and Claire had left for the night. They worked with trained investigators….did they really think no one would notice?

"Probably not for a long time. They think they're being sneaky." Ziva chuckled.

"Why do you think they're hiding it in the first place?" McGee asked the two that were left.

"They think I'll disapprove of them breaking rule number 12." Gibbs immediately informed, still not looking away from his work.

"Do you?" Ziva asked curiously.

"Nah…..this is the most Tony has ever worked in all the years ive known him." Gibbs told them jokingly. Ziva and McGee smirked at each other, not disagreeing with him. This was a good thing and none of their teammates disapproved at all.
