Disclaimer: I still don't own NCIS

Tony was pacing up and down the interrogation room anxiously. He didn't do well with sitting around at the best of times, but when he was this nervous it was impossible for him to stay still.

The door opening made him jump and he swung round to face Gibbs, who was still looking partly angry but mostly looked exhausted.

Gibbs sighed. "Why is it that we're always stood here for the same reasons?"

Tony shrugged.

"A verbal answer, DiNozzo."

"I don't know boss, it's just, me and Ziva, we always wind each other up and I didn't think she'd take it so hard this time."

"Be that as it may, you know first hand how hard this is the first time. How would you have felt if someone had taunted you after that first time I spanked you?"

Tony grimaced. "I would have hated I boss," he admitted. Now that he thought about it, he felt like a total heel for doing that to Ziva.

"And as for the fighting, I'm sure you don't need an explanation of why that's wrong at anytime and completely inappropriate in a place of work. What is there'd been visitors here today? What kind of impression do you think that would have given of our agency? Of all of you?"

"I didn't star. . ."

"You know that I don't care who started it DiNozzo, you had the opportunity to end it and you didn't."

Tony sighed. "Yeah, I know boss. Won't happen again boss."

Gibbs nodded in acknowledgement, then gestured to the table. Taking a deep breath, Tony lowered himself into position and gripped the sides of the table.

This was far from Tony's first spanking, but he was of the opinion that you were never ready for that first smack and it drew almost as loud a gasp from him as it had the first time, and every other time since.

Tony had always been good at taking his lickings but even still, by the time Gibbs was finished with him he and tears in his eyes and was sure he wouldn't sit for at least the rest of the week.

He took a few moments to catch his breath before standing up. When he did so, Gibbs pulled him into a hug.

"You know much better than to act like you did today. Try and act like the mature, responsible man I know you can be."

"I will boss. I'll be mature and sensible all the time."

Gibbs laughed. "Don't make promises you can't keep DiNozzo."

Tony smiled, "Okay, okay, so maybe eighty percent of the time. What can I say? I'm a child at heart!"

Gibbs smiled and ruffled his hair. "And don't we just know it."
