"He'll be just fine Jethro, he was just exhausted from pain and exertion" Ducky said and patted Gibbs's arm, "Now come on, let me suture you up" Ducky smiled. Gibbs did not, but he followed Ducky into the ICU, and sat on the bed while Ducky made ready to suture the cut in his forehead, "You know, you were most fortunate to escape that blast" Ducky said.
"I know" Gibbs sighed, "I told him I love him" Gibbs said and clenched his jaw. Ducky blinked.
"You want something to numb the pain?" Ducky asked.
"No, just sow, did you hear what I said?" Gibbs asked. Ducky nodded as the needle penetrated Gibbs's skin.
"I heard Jethro, and I am very pleased to he-"
"You don't understand! I hurt him! First I make him smack his head, then cut himslef because I don't understand, go through emotional trauma, let people know stuff he probably didn't even want ME to know, then I hit him with my car and his spine goes kapoof and he may be on desk duty until hell freezes over, which on my part would be good right about now, Christ, I ven put him in a coma, coaxed him out of it with telling him I love him, and then I took it back.. Tony was right, there's something about me confessing only when I think he or I am going to die" Gibbs drew in a deep breath. Ducky finishd his stitching and looked at Gibbs.
"So, I guess you haven't learned a thing" Ducky said and sighed, "I though at least you'd come down from that 'I can't hear what you're saying' place by now" Ducky said.
"What?" Gibbs asked. Ducky returned with a bandaid and slapped it on Gibbs's forehad a little harder than Gibbs had thought he would, which made him yelp a little. "Duck, what the hell are you talking about?" Gibbs asked.
"Honestly Jethro! You are only capable of thinking about yourself! Do you really think Anthony did not know you were driving? Do you think that the explosion was your fault? Did you WANT him to have a spinal injury?" Ducky asked.
"NO! No I didn't.. I.." Gibbs said. Ducky patted his thigh.
"Jethro, you do not control all aspects of life, you are not God... maybe a little full of yourself sometimes, but definetly not God" Ducky said. Gibbs smirked and looked up at him.
"Thanks Duck" Gibbs said.
"Right then, let's go see how Anthony is doing shall we?" Ducky asked.
"Right" Gibbs agreed.
