Jacks office

It has been nearly a year since they spend Christmas together. Jack and Gibbs. Something special happened between them that night when they spend Christmas together at his house, but they haven't spoken about it since. Only on one occasion… Jack tried to call him out on it a few months ago but she lost her nerves and when he tried to call her out all she said was maybe later. Later… that never happened. They are back to being friends and coworkers and nothing more. He still gives her those teenage-girl butterflies in her stomach when he looks at her with so much care and concern, but they never speak of it. when they spend time in her office together, even though it is case-related, just being alone with him gives her that special feeling, but… she isn't sure he feels the same way so it doesn't matter.

It has been a long day and Jack has been suffering from a bad headache all day. It is late afternoon. The team is still working on a tough case that has been keeping them in the office for many after for almost 2 weeks now. Jack knows she needs to stay in case the team needs her, but her headache isn't doing her any good and she knows she won't be of any use to the team as long as her head is killing her. So she has decided to lay down and get some rest for a short moment. She is resting but not asleep. It helps with her headache to close her eyes. The quietness of her office is a help too and as she is laying on the couch, she hears the door to her office slowly opens. She hears footsteps entering her office and walking over to her. she can hear the person who has entered her office has come over and kneeled next to her. She feels her blanket that has slipped down being gently pulled back over her shoulders. It is a nice caring gesture. It makes her smile, but she never opens her eyes. she then feels a gentle kiss being placed on her temple and a hand gently touching her face before he stands up again and leaves her office. She never hears the door closing.

Jack opens her eyes. she sits up. Way too quickly. She starts to feel dizzy from sitting up too quickly. She looks over at her door. it is closed. Her blanket is on the floor. She reaches to her temple where she felt the kiss earlier. Nothing. She doesn't feel anything. Maybe it was just a dream? It felt real, she thinks to herself. then it knocks on the door and Gibbs quickly enters.

"hey, Jack." Jack looks over at him and smiles.

"Gibbs... were you in here just a minute ago?"

Gibbs looks confused at her. "a minute ago? No" he says.

Jack shakes her head, "never mind. "she says. Gibbs still looks confused at her. "you are feeling okay, Jack?" he asks concerned. The sound of concern in her voice is making her feel better.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a strange dream." She says and smiles. "did you need me for anything?" she asks.

"yeah." He sys and gets snap out of their little moment where their eyes meet in a sweet smile. He hands her a file he has in his hand.

"We got a victim that doesn't match the others. There is something off. Could you look at it?" he asks and hands her the file. "if you are feeling okay. If you are not or want to go home, I can just ask ducky."

"no Gibbs. It is fine. I'm fine." She says trying to sound convincing. She takes the file and starts looking through it. Gibbs is observing her for a moment.

"anything else?" she asks when he keeps looking at her.

"no," he says and leaves the office.
