Chapter 3

Tony's head was spinning. He couldn't understand it. How could his boss love him? Yes, they has been working together longer than anyone else in the MCRT, but still. "Me?" he squeaked.

Gibbs nodded. "You. Tony, I've loved you since that very first day. I thought you were beautiful. I never thought you'd go for me, however. You were so... straight. God's gift to women. Working with you was almost torturous. I got to see you ever day, got to watch you sit there and flirt with every woman that came within five feet."

Tony laughed. "You actually fell for that? Wow, I must be a better actor than I thought. It took me a while to realize that I loved you, sure, but after we had been working together for a year, the dating and flirting became an act. About the time Kate came along, I'd say."

"But... Wendy..."

"Her? Sure, I loved her. Not as much as you. I figured that if I went along with it long enough, I would no longer love you. But it didn't work. She could tell I had feelings for someone else, even before I knew myself. That's why she broke off the engagement. Jeth, I've never really loved anyone but you," Tony murmured, pulling Gibbs closer. The other man smiled slightly at the shortening of his name.

"What is everyone else going to say?" Gibbs asked.

Tony sighed. He had forgotten about the others. "We could hide it," he said.

Gibbs nodded. "That's what we'll have to do, for a while. We can ease them into it slowly. I'm just afraid of how they'll react."

Tony smirked. "Me dating a man. Who would have thought?" The smirk turned into a chuckle, which turned into a full blown laugh when he saw Gibbs' attempt at faking a hurt expression. The older man joined in after a moment, and they ended up sitting on the floor, smiling foolishly at each other. Finally, Tony leaned in and brushed his lips softly across Gibbs'.

Gibbs pulled him in close with a hand on the back of his neck. One of Tony's hands found its way to the short hair on the back of the other man's head. He began stroking it, loving the feeling. The other reached down to grab the bulge in his pants.

Gibbs pulled away. "Oh no you don't. We're taking this slow," he said, teasing. "I don't want to be one of your flings," he added sadly.

Tony shook his head. "No. Never." He brushed his lips against Gibbs' once more before getting up and going downstairs.

And so their relationship began.

A/N: Watch for my sequel story (the title's still undecided, maybe something about truth?)!
