Enjoy! TATE ALL THE WAY

Kate and Tony were sat at their desks working on some papers. He stared at her, admiring how she worked, so concentrated.

She glanced over at him, and he looked back down at his desk, looking incredibly embarrassed. She snorted and shook her head. He looked at her.

Tony: "What?" he asked, tying to sound surprised.

Kate: "Nothing."

Tony: "What are you laughing at?" he frowned.

Kate: "No, I was just thinking."

Tony: "'bout what?"

She rested her elbow on her desk and placed her chin on her hand.

Kate: "Do you actually have a sensitive side?" He stared at her obliviously.

Kate: "I mean, all you ever do to women, is constantly piss them off, or sleep with them and never call them back!"

Tony: "That is not true!" he protested.

Kate: "Believe what ever you want." She said slyly.

Tony: "Kate! I do have a friendly side!" He stood up and walked over to her desk.

Tony: "I'll prove it to you."

She looked up at him.

Tony: "Stand up." She stood up gingerly.

Kate: "Ok?" she thought this was starting to get slightly weird.

He stepped towards her and wrapped his arms around her back. She looked at the back of his head questioningly, then relaxed into his embrace and moved her arms up his back to hold his shoulders.

She closed her eyes, actually liking the contact between them.

What he said was true, he really did have a friendly side! She started to daydream about exploring this 'New Tony'. Then she snapped back to reality and just enjoyed it.

Tony: "You, are the best friend anyone could ask for." He whispered to her. This made her blush.

She turned her head to rest on his chest.

Kate: "Ditto." She said softly. He stroked her back, rested his cheek on the top of her head and rocked her from side to side. Neither of them moved for a while, they both wanted to say like that forever. Now she was sure she wanted to explore this side of him. She was certain.

They stared at each other, embarrassed. He looked down a few inches below him and into her eyes smiling.

Kate: "What?" he was smiling at what he was about to do.

He leant down and kissed her. She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. He stroked her hair gently. Without them knowing, Gibbs walking in behind them clutching a cup of coffee.

Gibbs: "Oh for gods sake's will you two knock it off!" he said trying to get past the kissing Tony and Kate. They broke apart abruptly and both gave each other an 'oh shit' look.

They stood next to each other, now quite tensed up with nerves as Gibbs sat down at his desk.

Tony: "Sorry Boss." He said quite…terrified.

Gibbs rambled on about 'involvement between agents', Tony basically switched off.

He reached out behind his and Kate's backs and placed his hand on her ass and squeezed it.

She gave him a 'trust you' look and smiled like a little school girl. When Tony switched back on to Gibbs, all he heard was,

Gibbs: "… as long as it doesn't happen in this office, understand?"

They both nodded.

Tony: "So, we can be together, outside work?" he asked sheepishly.

Gibbs: "Whatever you want, to be honest I don't really wanna know what you two love birds get up to."

Gibbs: "Now scram!" he gestured to the front doors with his hand.

Tony: "Boss?"

Gibbs: "Look I've got a lot of work to do and I won't be able to concentrate with you two… you know!"

Kate playfully took hold of his hand and dragged him in the direction of the door.

Tony raised his eyebrows at Gibbs, who just shook his head and smiled.

The End
