He was in the hospital again. And he hated it.

"Come on, boss. I´m okay. I want to go home." He said.

"DiNozzo! We´re going to stay here ´til they cheked you out. And if they want to keep you here, you´ll stay." Gibbs answered.

"Aw, man! That´s shit." Tony whined.

SLAP!

"I think you got not quite enough of them." Gibbs said.

"Anthony DiNozzo, please." The nurse called out.

"What are you waiting for, DiNozzo?! Get your ass in gear!" Gibbs said pulling Tony up.

"Nobody calls me Anthony. Okay exept for Ducky and a few more -" Tony began.

Gibbs glared at him.

"Yeah, coming, boss." Tony said moving slowly forward.

Gibbs shook his head. "I´ll help you." He said as he saw how weak Tony was.

"Ah, special agent DiNozzo. Nice to see you again. Special agent Gibbs." Doctor Peters greeted.

"I don´t think so." Tony mumbled faking a smile.

"Sit down and take off your shirt, please."

Tony did as he was told and took his shirt off.

Gibbs winced at the bruises.

"Mhm... doesn´t look so good." Doctor Peters said and began feeling on Tony´s bruises.

"Ow!" Tony whined.

"Quit crying, DiNozzo!" Gibbs said.

"It hurts!" Tony said looking at Gibbs.

"Just what I thought. We have to x-ray you. The nurse will come soon."

"What? Aw, not again..." Tony said.

"They´re darker than a few hours ago." Gibbs told him.

"Yeah, yeah. But nothing is broken. I´m just bruised."

"Scared from hospitals?" Gibbs smiled.

No answer.

"Hey! DiNozzo!"

"Just tired..." He answered.

"Sorry to interrupt. But you need stitches." A nurse said.

"What for?" Tony asked.

"Your cheek, sweetie." She said grinning.

"Right..." Tony sighed not smiling back.

The smile from the nurse faded. "Okay."

Tony closed his eyes against the pain.

"Okay, I think that´ll do it." She said and went out of the room.

"Not your type?" Gibbs asked.

Tony looked up. "Huh?"

"Not the type of women you like?"

"Who?" Tony asked confused.

"The nurse, DiNozzo."

"Ah, didn´t look at her."

"You don´t look at a woman?" Gibbs smiled.

Tony looked around the room and Gibbs decided not to ask any more questions.

"Mr. DiNotzo?" Another nurse asked.

Tony closed his eyes and pursed his lips.

"Yeah, that´s special agent DiNozzo." Gibbs corrected.

"Okay. Would you come with me please? Or do you need a weelchair?"

"I can walk." Tony answered.

"You can wait here, if you want. It wont take long." And with that they went away.
