Saturday morning they both woke up early,driven out of bed by their growling stomachs,the previous night kept them too busy to think about food. Tim was a little bit sore,but it was good,it reminded him of the previous night's mind-blowing sex. Thinking of the previous night,turned his cheeks into a rosy hue,the noises he let out was something to be ashamed of and then where his Master put his tongue was plain sinful. Gibbs smirked he knew his sub was still feeling shy about the rimming he gave him the previous night. Both of them dressed in a hurry and without even taking the time to look at whose clothes they put on.
Breakfast was quiet as both men directed their attention on filling their protesting stomachs. Tim stole the last piece of pancake from Gibbs's plate and was running through the living room avoiding his lover's nimble fingers,Gibbs could tickle him merciless,he caught up with him pushing him down on the couch. Gibbs pulled up Tim's shirt and started to tickle him under his arms,Tim was laughing hard and squealing like a little piglet.
Tony got up Saturday morning feeling bored,he tried phoning some of his friends to get together for a game of basketball, but no-one was available. He turned up at his Boss's house with the idea of helping with his boat,admitting to himself that he felt lonely. He opened the front door to Gibbs's house and step in without knocking as he did a hundred times before. Tim and Gibbs forgot to lock the door the previous evening in their hurry to get to each other.
Tony followed the noise and laughter into the living room,he was stunned to see Gibbs pinning Tim down on the couch and tickling him mercilessly. Gibbs saw him first and got up from Tim,"Morning DiNozzo!"
Tony's stunned mind was having trouble processing the scene he had witness,since when was Probie and the Boss so friendly with each other,why were they wearing each others t-shirts,the Boss didn't own a MIT t-shirt and Tim was never a marine. Then it struck him with a sledge hammer,they were intimate with each other,something hinky was going on between the men in front of him. The shock was soon followed by ferocious anger,if his Boss was bi-sexual,why didn't he first choose him,Tony was his senior agent and was for years secretly in love with his boss. He couldn't be angry at the man that he loved, so his fierce anger turned to Tim, his Probie,the man that he trained and led to become a decent agent betrayed him,by steeling the one thing that was the most important to him.
"Morning Boss,is this a bad time to visit ?"
"No,but you could knock once in a while."
Tony blushed with anger,already he wasn't welcome in his boss's house,"Sorry,I will see you at work."
Tim could see the hurt and pain in Tony's eyes and felt sorry for his partner,he knew that Tony and his father weren't close and that Gibbs was the nearest thing Tony had to a father and that the team was his family."Wait Tony,come to the kitchen and have some coffee."
It was three tense men who sat at the kitchen table. Tony was the first to speak,"So ,I take it you two are together?"
Gibbs answered first,seeing the embarrassment in Tim's eyes,"Yes ,is that going to be a problem,Tony?"
Tony wanted to scream angrily, yes...yes,because I saw you first,but said instead,"What about rule 12?"
Gibbs sighed,"The rules is only guidelines and this happened as a surprise."
Tony asked hopeful,"So this is just a one-night stand?"
Gibbs felt like slapping Tony ,but this wasn't the time and place,"No,DiNozzo,this is far more serious for us."
Tim couldn't help noticing that Tony avoided the question,"Tony this happened so fast,will you be able to accept it?"
Tony was pushed into a corner,he couldn't show his real feelings or he would loose Gibbs,with a heroic effort,he clamped his real emotions down and smiled,"No,no problem. But it will take time to get used to. I have to go,I will see you guys on Monday."
Tony left the kitchen quickly,his coffee untouched,Tim caught up with him at the front door,"Tony you don't have to go!"
Tony pulled away from the hand Tim put on his shoulder roughly and said in an icy voice,all his hurt and pent-up anger showing through,"You whore,you look all innocent,but the first chance you get ,you let the boss fuck you. It probably is the only way you will get to stay on the team,are you trying to sleep your way up to senior agent,to take my place,to take everything I worked and hope for?"
Tim was trying to keep the hurt from his eyes,"Tony,I can never take your place!"
Tony smirked sarcastically,"Yeah and you better believe it,the boss will soon get tired of you and when he sees what a mistake he made,with a little boy like you,he will turn to a mature man like me."
Tony left and climbed in his car,leaving a distressed Tim standing in the open door. Tim knew that the hateful things Tony said,was only because he was hurt,but some of them was hard to shake. What did he have to offer Gibbs? Will he get tired of me soon and move on? Tim remembered how he pushed his Master away last night in the shower,Tony would never do that,he was an experienced lover and probably knew lots of methods on how to please Gibbs sexually. Would others think he slept with the Boss to protect his position in the team?
All the emotions and thoughts echoed in Tim's head and big silent tears slipped down his cheeks,he had to get away. Tim grabbed his car keys and closed the door behind him, he needed time and space to think.
Gibbs heard the front door close and waited for Tim to return to the kitchen,he already made a few plans on how to get his sub to show that beautiful innocent blush of his. After a few minutes he knew something was wrong and started to look for Tim,but found the house ominously empty. His heart started to bounce in panic when he found that Tim's car was gone. He rushed inside and grabbed his cellphone,he dialled only to hear Tim's phone ringing on the coffee table where he left it.
Gibbs sat down on his couch,his desolate mind too numb to process what happened. Tim left him and took all the colour and light with him,leaving Gibbs alone in his dark ,lonely house. Maybe Tim left because he pushed his sub to hard? Maybe Tim realized he could do better and was too shy to tell him,but then he remembered how Tim's eyes was filled with love and admiration when they woke up. The sun raised in his mind,when he remembered the shy way Tim told him last night he loved him,before he fell into an exhausted sleep.
Something drove Tim away and he realized Tony had something to do with it. He dialled Tony,but his call went to voicemail. Gibbs was getting desperate and decided to phone Abby, she would know how to find Tim's car,he had a GPS in his car to protect it from theft. After he talked to Abby,he got dressed and set off for Tony's apartment,he knew Tony was the catalyst for Tim's disappearance.
It was only 10:00,when Tony walked into the bar,near the Navy Yard that he frequented regularly. He was betrayed not only by his boss,but also by the man he looked upon as his little brother,he deserved to get drunk. Tony ignored his Boss's call for the first time in his life,he should have known that Tim would run to the Boss and tell him Tony hurt his tender feelings. What did the Boss see in Tim? He couldn't think what they had in common and how did they both keep their relationship a secret from Tony. He thought hopefully that maybe his Boss kept it a secret because his feelings wasn't too serious for their Probie,but knew it was wishful thinking,he saw the hunger in his boss's eyes when he looked at Tim. Tony knew the Death Bell was knelling for his time at NCIS,soon he would have to find a new job. He was going to have to start all over again,but he didn't know if he could survive losing his family once again.
He drank one drink after another,not caring what happened,he just wanted to numb the searing pain in his heart. Once again he was rejected,maybe his father and all those other people was right, he wasn't good enough to be loved,he didn't deserve to be happy.
Tim usually was a very safe driver,but today his mind was pre-occupied by all the confusing thoughts he felt. He didn't notice the small child running into the busy road,chasing his dog,he only had time to swerve out of the way,missing the child narrowly. His last thought before he struck the big tree next to the road was,that at least he didn't hit the child.
