Gibbs waisted no time, but grabbed Tony who made no remark as he clung to Gibbs, and ran for it. Gibbs ran as fast as he could and yelled "BOMB, GET DOWN! BOMB" to anyone that could hear him. Then there was no more time, as yellow and red exploded in the air and flung them forwards. Gibbs instinctivly protctd Tony's body with his own as debree rained down on and around them.

"Ow owowowowowow" Tony said, tears streaming down his face. Gibbs looked up, around, and then rolled off Tony's body before he propped himself up on an elbow.

"Tony, Tony calm down, what hurts?" Gibbs asked.

"Back!" Tony exclaimed before he screamed in agony. Gibbs winced as the scream pierced his brain. Gibbs cursed loudly. Of course Tony's back hurt. Gibbs had landed on him. And Tony hadn't gotten his meds either. "Ow ow ow ow ow" Tony sobbed as Gibbs sat up and pulled Tony towards him.

"Easy..easy" Gibbs soothed.

"Oh my God, are you allright? Oh God oh God.. my husband's called for an ambulance" a woman said.

"Could we have a blanket?" Gibbs asked and th woman disappeared. Tony screamed again, panting through the pain. "Easy Tony, sssh.. easy.." Gibbs said.

"Get...away...from me.. you bastard" Tony panted. Gibbs blinked. "You tell..me...to come back..because you-..lov me and then..you take..it back.." Tony panted and screamed again, "huhuhuhuhuuuurs.." Tony slurred as he sobbed.

"I know, I know Tony, it's going to be okay" Gibbs soothed as he stroked a hand through Tony's hair. Tony trid twitching away, but Gibbs held him firm. "I love you" Gibbs whispered. He didn't know what he was going to do anymore. He just knew this had been way to close. He didn't want to miss another step.

"So.. we nearly get.. blown up and NOW you love..me" Tony panted, "what is it with you...confessions.. and near death experiences?" Tony asked. Gibbs chuckled.

"I dunno Tony, I think it has more to do with you" Gibbs chuckled.

"We make it work then?" Tony asked.

"We make it work" Gibbs agreed.

"Good.. now excuse me.. I'm gonna pass out" Tony whispered as he passed out.
