A few hours after Tony's phone call with Gibbs, Tony found himself walking into the kitchen to be assaulted with the smell of Sloppy Joes. Usually his stomach would be growling in anticipation, instead it was flipping with butterfly's he really felt like he was going to throw up because of the smell.
Tony decided that he wasn't exactly hungry any more so he turned around and went to the living room and put on a movie. He wasn't exactly paying attention to what movie was playing; he was just trying to get the smell out of his head.
"Tony! Sam! Dean! Lets eat!" Gibbs voice rang throughout the apartment. Dean was cleaning his weapons in Tony's bedroom and Sam had just gotten out of the shower. Dean was the first one to get to the kitchen area and grabbed a plate and started to make his sandwich. Once done he took his plate overflowing with chips and sat down at the table.
"Mmmm man you make the best sloppy Joes. I don't know when the last time I've eaten something this good!" dean said around a full mouth of food, so it was slightly hard to understand what he was saying.
"TONY! SAM! COME EAT" Gibbs yelled again, wondering where on earth the two brothers were.
Sam came around the corner and saw that Tony was still sitting on the couch watching his movie.
"come on kiddo lets go eat some food." Sam said as he took Tony's arm and dragged him into the kitchen.
"I don't really want to eat right now Sam, let me go!" Tony protested at his side.
"No Tony you need to eat something because I don't know when the last time you ate was. Now eat" while Dean said all of this, Sam had made his plate as well as one for Tony and sat it down in front of Tony who became a shade paler.
"I don't want to" tony whispered shaking his head back and forth.
"tony you got to eat something just try for me buddy ok?" dean said soothingly to tony.
Have to try for dean have to try for dean have to try for dean tony kept chanting this to himself as he reached for the burger.
Dean watched confused as he watched his brother bend forward and reach for his food, not with his hands but with his head.
"TONY STOP." Dean said causing tony to jump up into the air startled by deans confusing demands.
"Why arnt you using your hands to eat your food Tony?" Sam asked Tony. He was confused and had a feeling that he was in the same position that dean was in just earlier this morning.
"Hey Tony, its ok bud you can use your hands ok? He is not here any more you know that everything he told you don't listen to him ok? He not here. Your not there. Your ok." Dean said kneeling down to look at Tony in the eyes.
"Ok dean…dean?" Tony said in a whisper nodding his head.
"Yah kiddo" said dean in a nice soft voice that was very soothing to Tony's ears.
"I'm really not hungry I don't want to eat can I just go back into the living room?" Tony said again in a whisper.
"Yah ok kiddo you can go into the living room but I want you to eat at least some soup can you do that for us?" dean said in the soothing voice.
"Ok dean" Tony said still whispering. And with that he got out of his seat and quickly made his way into the living room where they all heard his movie start up again.
"What are we going to do dean, he wont talk to us about what happened in that house so how are we supposed to know what he is going through?" Sam said exasperated.
"I don't know man, we'll just have to wait and just keep letting him know that his big brothers will always be there for him." Dean said from where he was getting the soup from the cabinet.
"maybe you should take him to a psychologist." Sam and Dean both jumped forgetting that agent Gibbs was still in the room.
"No" they both said together.
"Tony would never go for that and I will not allow my brother to go to a shrink to talk out his problems. What ever he has to say I would hope that he trusts us enough to tell us about." dean said confidently.
"Well I'm not trying to dampen your ego but if Tony trust you guys that much why didn't he call you when he got the plague? Where were you when his car was exploded by his girlfriends dad? Where were you when that same girlfriend broke his heart the very next day? If you asked me it looks like he has a lot more to tell you guys than just what has happened over the past 10 days at that guys place." And with that Gibbs walked out of the room and quietly sat next to tony as he watched the movie.
Meanwhile Sam and Dean sat in the kitchen in silence, stunned into thought about all Gibbs had to say to them.
