AN: Gabby Ahead!
---
Gibbs was wrapped in a signature embrace before he had a chance to brace himself.
"You okay Abs?"
Abby released him momentarily. "I am now!"
"What I miss?"
She engulfed him a second time and squeezed tight. "Me." She stated plainly. "I haven't seen you since you gave me that knife for prints…I missed you."
A small smile formed at the corner of his mouth as she released him. "Missed you too Abs."
She took his hand and pulled him down onto a chair. "So, are you okay?"
He nodded quietly, not up for much talking at the moment.
"How is Ducky?"
"He'll be fine."
She pulled up a chair and sat across from him. "So does that mean he's not okay right at this moment? We should do something Gibbs…I should do something. Get him flowers, or give him a hug or get him some new tea bags or…"
His expression quieted her momentarily. "Maybe tomorrow."
"Alright," she leaned forward and placed a soft hand on his knee. "If you say so."
"I say so," his hand covered hers and he met her eyes. "He just needs some time."
She nodded, not removing her gaze from his. "Speaking of time, it's almost time to go home. We can just curl up tonight…no movie, no boat. Just me and you okay?"
He smiled slowly. "I'd like that."
She remained with her hand over his for a few more moments before meeting his lips with a kiss. "What you did today for Ducky…that was sweet." She watched him open his mouth to speak when she kissed him again. "And that is a side of you I love more than anything…" She placed another swift kiss on his lips before curling up on his chair with him.
He wrapped both arms around her shoulders and folded his hands together. "And the other sides of me?"
She placed hers hands over his and hid her face in his neck. "Oh don't worry, I love those too, there's just something about Gibbs in savior mode that gets me…"
"Do you know what gets me about you?"
She giggled a bit. "I'm afraid to ask."
He kissed her forehead softly. "Everything Abs." He closed his eyes and felt her nestle in closer. "Everything."
