Here's the chapter of their first time. The majority has spoken. Enjoy.

Gibbs opened the door to his house and stepped aside to let Tony in with their bags. He closed the door behind them and took off his coat and shoes as he watched Tony put down the bags on the floor.

"Happy to be home?" he asked softly as Tony stretched his back and groaned.

"Yeah", Tony said and sighed heavily . "I am." He gave out a short snort of laughter and took off his own coat and shoes. "I can't even believe that I ran away like that. Pretty stupid, huh?"

"Yup. But you were fed up with the anxiety, so it's understandable. Kind of."

"And scared. Don't forget scared."

Gibbs walked over to Tony and looked him in the eyes.

"Of what, Tony?"

"Of everything. Most of all I was scared of the thought that you might not love me after all."

Gibbs frowned and gave Tony a puzzled look. "What do you mean?"

Tony took a deep breath and looked away. "I can't count the number of times I saw you look at me with love in your eyes. But you always concealed it in the matter of a second, so I always thought that my eyes had deceived me. So that last night I just snapped. I wanted you so badly that it hurt but I couldn't stand the thought of being so close to you without being able to touch you and what you might do if you found out and..."

He stopped his rambling when Gibbs put a hand under his chin and made him look up at him again. He took Tony's face between his hands and look deeply into the younger man's eyes.

"You don't have to be scared anymore, Tony", Gibbs said huskily and gave Tony that warm, special smile of his. "You are here now. With me. And that's all that matters. I promise you that I'll never leave you. No matter what, I'll always be in your heart. Forever."

Tony swallowed hard and felt his tears starting to fall. He tried to speak, but Gibbs caught his mouth in a loving kiss that literally took his breath away. He wrapped his arms around the older man and moaned as Gibbs tongue began to caress his. He dug his fingers into the soft silver hair and wished that the moment would never end.

They didn't break the kiss until the need for air was impossible to ignore anymore. Gibbs ran his fingers through Tony's hair and then pressed his forehead to the younger man's, just looking into those beautiful green that now openly displayed all the love Tony felt for him.

A small gasp escaped Gibbs' mouth as he felt his desire for Tony suddenly increase. Tony must have noticed it, for he withdrew with and insecure wrinkle on his brow, nervously biting his lower lip.

"What is it, Tony?" he asked and carefully took the younger man's hand in his, giving it a comforting squeeze.

"I, eh...", Tony stuttered as he tried to find the right words. "It's just that, um..."

"It's okay, Tony", Gibbs said soothingly and took a step back to give man he loved some space. "There's no rush. If you don't want to I..."

"But I do, Jet!" Tony interrupted. "I have wanted you since the first day I saw you, but it's just that I've never been with another man before. It makes me a little nervous."

"What are you nervous about?"

Tony bit his lip again and looked at his feet."That it might hurt", he mumbled, almost embarrassedly.

Gibbs stepped up to Tony again and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Tony, look at me", he said softly. Slowly Tony raised his eyes until they looked into Gibbs' intense blue eyes. The loving smile he received from the silver-haired man made Tony's heart beat faster and in that moment he wanted nothing more than to be in Gibbs' arms, to be so close to him that he could feel his heartbeats against his chest.

"I will never hurt you, Tony", Gibbs said then. "I'd rather die than hurting you."

"I know, Jet."

The smile Gibbs' shot at Tony in that moment was like watching the sun go up.

"What?" Tony asked.

"Shannon always used to call me that", Gibbs replied and a single tear ran down his cheek.

"You miss her, don't you?"

"More than you can imagine. But she and Kelly are always with me, and one day I will see them again. And so will you."

"Jet?"

"What, did you really think I'd let you go when this life has come to an end? Not gonna happen, DiNozzo."

He took Tony's hand in his and pleadingly pulled him towards the stairs. Tony followed him willingly and together they went to the bedroom. Gibbs pushed Tony down on the bed and laid down beside him. He gave Tony's cheek a light caress before bending down to kiss him. He moaned when Tony's hands began to move up and down his body and gasped when he felt eager fingers unbutton his shirt. He broke the kiss and looked at Tony, who looked back at him with great determination shining in his eyes.

"You sure about this?" Gibbs asked.

"I haven't been more sure of anything in my entire life. I want you, Jet. More than anything in the world."

Gibbs grinned at the man he loved and poured all his love and affection into that smile. Slowly they undressed each other, softly caressing the other in the process. It didn't take long before both were naked, arms and limbs entwined as they kissed and touched, mapping the other's body with their lips and hands. Soft moans and whimpers escaped them as the heat and passion increased, each second pushing them closer to the edge. None of them wanted to stop. None of them was even able to stop. Their bodies were moving as one in a rhythm that was older than life itself. There was no turning back for them now.

They clung to each other as great waves of pleasure crashed over them, making the world stop spinning and time cease to exist. Afterwards, Tony was lying in Gibbs' strong, protective arms with his head on his lovers chest, his ear right over the silver-haired man's heart. He tapped the steady beat lazily with a finger on Gibbs' stomach as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

"I love you, Jet."

Gibbs smiled into Tony's hair and pressed a kiss onto the top of his lover's head.

"Love you too, little one", he whispered. "More than you'll ever know."

He closed his eyes and let himself drift into restful sleep and comfort. Finally, everything was as it should be.
