Abby sat at Tony's side her fingers playing through his hair, she was in a good mood especially since her favorite agent had woken up, though she had wished he had done so with her there instead of Kate.
"Did you just have to wake up for Kate? And allow her to play nurse for you?" She sighed gently leaning down to kiss his cheek before moving to turn away, but something pulled her back. It was a strong hand a quick one, but not Tony's. Her eyes took in the fact that both his arms were planted upon the bed. As she began to fight a soft voice she knew all too well came from behind her.
"Shh its alright Abby," Palmer spoke softly as he held her against him, "I thought I would find you here, with him."
"Damn it Palmer, he is my friend the one that keeps me out of trouble."
"Oh that's all he is?" Palmer said as he planted a kiss firmly against Abby's collared neck.
"Palmer...stop let me go."
"No Abby, I won't let you go ever."
"Let me go."
"Le...let her go." Tony croaked he had slowly rolled himself onto his side as he awoke hearing the two talk.
"Shut up Dinozzo, you can't do anything now. You are a weakling sap..." He was flung into the back wall from a strong right punch hit him square in the jaw.
"Don't you dare talk about him like he isn't worth anything, you have no idea what he has lived through you piece of trash! Get out of this room!" Abby yelled her fist still raised from where she had hit him.
"Abbs..." Tony spoke his voice gaining strength as he went, while trying to grab at her raised arm to lower it as Palmer skittered out.
She wrung her hand out after he left and sat next to Tony, "Damn, that hurt." She smiled and looked at him, "You need to be laying down, that isn't good for your heart Tony."
"Alright Nurse Abby." He smirked and eased back down upon his back, his hands laid back at his sides as she just stared at him.
"You know, it wouldn't be the same without you around."
"I know, then you wouldn't have a hot guy to look at everyday." He smirked playfully before he was hit with a sock in the arm. "HEY!"
"Hehe its what you deserved."
"Yeah yeah, I know. So how's the office?"
"Well, to tell the truth boring as ever. Tony..."
"Figures. Yeah?"
"Thanks for defending me, you shouldn't really do that with yourself being in here."
"Abby, if I didn't defend you now who would?"
"No one...Tony, no one would."
"Come on Abbs your like a sister to me, why wouldn't I defend you." He smiled but noticed her dispairing look. "Abbs whats wrong?"
"Nothing, your just...like a brother to me and if something happens to you..."
"Nothing is going to happen to me, they're going to find a heart for me then I'll be back to work and protecting you from pushovers like him."
"Thats good Tony, I'm out have to get back to the lab. Gibbs wanted a trace sample..."
"Let me guess? Yesterday?" He chuckled lightly at her nod then watched her head to the door, "Hey Abbs."
"Yeah Tony?"
"Nice right." He spoke softly as she shut the door that hurt expression still lingering there. He soon let himself drift back into sleep.
Meh, bet you weren't expecting that one. Anyway, like I said you may not be prepared for the relationship. Though I'll give you this tidbit, be weary. That's all I say for now, night all!
