The storyline was requested.

Please note that this story is a crossover with Queer as Folk (US). We have borrowed some of the characters from both shows to create a story. As fans of Gibbs and Tony we will of course focus more on them but the QaF characters will play important roles as well.

Requested by: gibbsandtony (Tumblr)

Writers: D and Sandy

Disclaimer: We do not own any of the characters! We only play with them for a bit but will give them back in one piece. The characters, shows and canon storylines that we might use, belong to their respective creators and owners.

Tony was stunned about Brian's behavior. He couldn't help but wonder why that guy wanted him to take care of Gibbs. Of course, Tony really wanted to be there for Gibbs and help him recover but he didn't think that being so close to him was a good idea. He was afraid that Gibbs would notice his feelings... not that he would fear for his job. Gibbs was open minded and supportive towards the gay community. But romantic feelings could hurt their friendship. And since obviously Gibbs was more into random fucks and not into committed relationships, Tony thought about a way to not be the one to take care of him. Brian, who was still sitting next to him, had other ideas.

"You know, Justin will have a hard time to deal with the loss of Hendrik and Jethro will try to do his best to be there for his son. But you've heard the doctor, he needs to recover from his injuries and needs some rest. You work with him, you know him very good. He won't agree to lay down and rest. He will want to be there for Justin and I happen to know that you have the balls to stand up to him and call him out on his shit." Brian said and looked with a raised eyebrow and a smirk at Tony.

"Wouldn't that be a better job for you since you know about his balls?" Tony muttered angrily.

"Oh boy... you don't get it, don't you? We were just fucking." Brian said annoyed.

"I get it. I do, okay? Gibbs likes to fuck like every other guy. And it happens that he likes to fuck you to get whatever it is that bothers him out of his system." Tony snapped.

"God, how many hints do I need to drop for you to get it?" Brian snorted.

"And what do I need to get?" Tony retorted.

"There is a reason why I said YOU should take care of him. He NEEDS you to be there with him. Just like YOU need to be. But you are too dense to get it. You're too busy drowning in self pity because he was fucking me and not you but let me tell you something: Be the guy you always are. The Tony he wants and needs and for fuck's sake, grow some balls and go get the man you want because he wants you just as much." Brian yelled and then got up and left a stunned looking Tony in the waiting room.

Gibbs was alive! Tony repeated it in his head like a mantra. Seeing Gibbs lying there in the hospital bed made him want to cry. Watching him talking to the nurse who was checking his vital signs made his heart beating faster. When the nurse came out she gestured for Tony to enter. He took a deep breath before he entered.

"Gibbs." He said gently. "How are you? Any pain?"

"Ton.. DiNozzo. I'm fine." Gibbs answered tiredly.

"You don't look fine." Tony told him gently.

"Yeah, you're right. I'm not too fine. Tired but not in pain." Gibbs said honestly.

"That's good. I was... we were shocked when he heard what happened." Tony admitted when he sat down next to Gibbs.

"Fornell on the case?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes, he is. And we're helping. FBI and NCIS working together again but of course the FBI will get all the credit in the end." Tony joked.

"Hmh yeah. Tony... is... Justin Taylor, is he okay?" Gibbs asked, almost whispering.

"He is. Broken arm and a concussion but other than that, he's fine." Tony said and could see the relief on Gibbs face, especially in his eyes.

"Thank God." Gibbs said quietly with closed eyes. "You have any news about the other guests?"

Tony knew whom Gibbs was talking about thanks to Brian. "I hope I get it all right. Uhm... Michael, Ben and their son Hunter?" Tony said but it sounded more like a question. He continued at Gibbs' nod. "They're fine. Ted and Emmeth are, too. Debbie and Carl are not injured, too. Lindsay and Melody..." Tony said but Gibbs interrupted him.

"Melanie, not Melody although it sounds nice." Gibbs smirked.

"Yeah, Melanie... Lindsay and Melanie left with their kids shortly before the bomb exploded. They're safe." Tony said.

"What about Hendrik?" Gibbs asked.

"He didn't make it. I'm sorry, Gibbs." Tony said sadly.

"Shit. I need to see Justin. It will break his heart." Gibbs whispered.

"From what I heard, the doctors are keeping him sedated to keep his stress level down." Tony answered.

"Good. What about Joe? And Frank?" Gibbs then asked.

"Joe is fine, hardly injured but Frank is... he's in a coma. Joe is with him." Tony told him.

"No! Fuck. This is so fucked up." Gibbs muttered angrily. "What about Brian?"

"He's good. In fact, he's in the waiting room." Tony told him.

"Can you bring him here?" Gibbs asked.

"Sure." Tony said nicely but it pissed him off that Gibbs would ask to see the man.

10 MINUTES LATER

"Could you stay with him and make sure he's alright?" Gibbs asked.

"You don't have to ask, Jeth. You know I would do anything for him." Brian said.

Tony watched the conversation between the two happily. Gibbs didn't ask for Brian because he wanted to see him. He wanted Brian to take care of Justin. At least, that's what the conversation was about now.

At first, Gibbs wanted Brian to bring Justin to his house so he could take care of Justin himself but Brian told him no and made it clear that Gibbs would go home with Tony to rest and recover. It was the first time that Tony allowed himself to grin smugly - directly at Gibbs. And it made him grin even more to see Brian doing the very same. In the end, Gibbs had no choice, he had to agree with the two men but he would still make sure that Justin was taken care of.

"If he needs anything or wants to see me you'll bring him to me tho, did you understand that, Brian?" Gibbs was just as clear as Tony and Brian.

"Of course, I will. So, I'll take care of Sunshine and Tony will take care of you. Good that we finally have that settled." Brian said.
