Title: Thirst
Pairing: None
Disclaimer: I still don't own NCIS… and I don't like coffee either.
Gibbs was in MTAC, but it was still too risky. He couldn't risk leaving the bullpen. But Tony was sooooo thirsty! It was like being stranded in the scorching desert… or so he imagined. He was dying!
He could have gone to the breakroom, but the coffee machine wasn't working. He could have gone to the water fountain, but it was just so unhygienic (he'd been watching too much of How Clean Is Your House). He could have gone to the drinks machine, but he had no money…
Then he saw it. Gibbs' coffee. Just sitting there on his desk.
Score!
Looking around cautiously, Tony got up and crept to Gibbs' desk. He reached out and grabbed the warm cup. He lifted it to his lips…
Then he saw Gibbs exit MTAC out of the corner of his eye.
He froze.
If I'm not moving he can't see me.
Looking back, he realizes that probably wasn't the best approach to the situation.
It works with T-Rexes, he'd thought. Sam Neil says so.
But Gibbs is not a dinosaur (not literally anyway).
Tony rubbed the back of his head as he swallowed the aspirin… with the water from the infested fountain.
