Title: Different sides of people. SLASH Gibbs/Tony
Summary: Gibbs goes to a familiar club to relax, never expecting to see anyone he knows there. What happens when he sees someone he knows and wants?
Wanted to write a story where Gibbs is the one doing the pursuing and Tony is new to everything.
Feedback: is always welcome and appreciated. Thanks so much for all the wonderful reviews. I love hearing everyone is enjoying it :)
Editor is having some e-mail issues so I did my best to get all the mistakes out of this myself.

Tony rolled over and winced as the back of his head touched the pillow. He sat up trying to ignore the ache in his head. Looking around he remembered where he was and that it was daylight.
"Gibbs." Tony called out as he walked down the steps. "Gibbs are you here."
"No but I am." Abby smiled and jumped up from the couch. She ran over and hugged Tony.
"Hey Abs." Tony hugged her back. "Gibbs make you come to babysit me?"
She stepped back and shook her head.
"Then why?"
"He said tell you that you are taking a sick day." Abby smiled.
"What else?"
"That you should stay here." Abby paused. "If you want, but you don't have to."
Tony chuckled.
"But that he'd like you too." Abby played with the hem of her skirt. "I don't like it when you two fight."
"We're not fighting." Tony barked then sighed calming his voice. "We're not."
"I don't believe you." Abby pouted.
"So are you staying with me all day?" Tony asked trying to change the subject.
"No. If you want to go home I can take you on the way back to work." Abby forced a smile.
#######################################################################
Gibbs had been rereading the same line in the file for twenty minutes. He rubbed his hand over his forehead looking up when he heard the elevator open. Abby walked over to Gibbs' desk.
"Abs." Gibbs nodded.
"Um Tony's okay."
"Good."
"I told him you said take a sick day."
Another nod.
"And I dropped him off at his apartment on my way in."
"Thanks Abs." Gibbs said turning back to the file.
"You're welcome." She sighed as she walked away.
Once she was gone Gibbs slapped the folder closed.
########################################################################
Gibbs walked into the house before six, a record for him, but today he just wanted out.
"Is this a record for you?"
Gibbs stopped in mid stride seeing Tony standing in the living room.
"Probably." Gibbs nodded.
"Rough day?" Tony asked.
"I thought Abby took you home." Gibbs said walking past Tony and into the kitchen.
"She did."
Gibbs looked at the coffee pot.
"I made coffee."
"Thanks." Gibbs poured a cup and took a long drink. Then walked back into the living room and sat it down on the coffee table. He slipped off his dress jacket.
"Hungry?"
"Tony why are you here?" Gibbs asked rubbing his forehead.
"I thought maybe you'd want to order a pizza or some Chi-"
"No, I don't." Gibbs eyes locked on Tony's.
"Right." Tony nodded.
"Tony." Gibbs sighed.
"I just wanted to have some dinner." Tony paused. "With my friend."
"Yeah." Gibbs shook his head. "Tonight's not a good night for that."
Tony nodded. "I don't think it ever will be a good night again."
As Tony went to hurry passed Gibbs he felt the hand grasp his forearm.
"I can't just put everything that's happened out of my mind that quickly. It's gonna take some time to get back into just friend mode." Gibbs sighed. "I need a little time."
Another nod as Tony's hand caress Gibbs' cheek. "I get it."
"Then why are you touching me like that? " Gibbs leaned into Tony's touch fighting the need to kiss the hand touching him.
Tony let his hand drop away from Gibbs' face but made no attempt to pull his arm from Gibbs grasp.
"What is it?"
Tony forced a smile, even as the tears threatened. "I just wanted to make everything right again."
"What do you want to make right? Our friendship?" Gibbs paused pulling Tony closer. "Or our relationship?"
"Both. I think."
"Then tell me? Whatever it is you need to say." Gibbs said leaning towards Tony's.
"I love you." Tony sighed. "I do."
Gibbs let the words sink in, took some slight solace in the spoken admission, even though he knew in some way they were empty.
"Then what is it?"
"I can't love you." Tony shook his head. "I can't."
Gibbs brow furrowed. "Why?"
Tony felt the emotion crashing in around him. "Because I can't lose you."
"You're not going to lose me." Gibbs held Tony close. "I promise."
"You can't promise that, no one can." Tony forced a half smile. "And now I can't even have you as a friend so what do I do?"
"Tony." Gibbs grip on Tony's arm loosened. "I'm still your friend. I swear."
Staring into Gibbs' eyes, Tony nodded trying not to cry.
"I can't not have you in my life." Tony let out a deep breath.
"Tony." Gibbs sighed.
"You're the one constant. The one person I can count on. No matter what." Tony looked away. "For over ten years."
"And you will always be able to count on me." Gibbs' lips brushed Tony's ear. "Always."
"And when you don't love me anymore because it all comes crashing down?" Tony chuckled sadly. "It always happens."
Gibbs wrapped his arms around Tony's waist pressing his lips to Tony's ear.
"I love you and I always will." Gibbs pulled Tony closer. "And nothing will change that."
"Yeah." Tony said it sarcastically.
"If I can't love you as a lover." Gibbs paused. "Then I'll love you as a friend."
A tear rolled down Tony's cheek.
"Are we clear about that?"
Tony nodded.
"And the fight?" Gibbs asked.
"It was stupid." Tony shook his head.
"Most fights are."
Gibbs stared at Tony wanting to ask, needing to know, but also feeling it wasn't his place. If Tony didn't want a relationship with him he had no right to ask if the fight was over the woman.
"She was just listening to me. A shoulder to cry on." Tony paused. "I was telling her how I screwed up with you. That I ruined everything with the one person I never wanted to hurt."
Gibbs nodded.
"Well." Tony chuckled. "When her boyfriend walked in and saw us talking. He took it the wrong way."
"I'm sure he did." Gibbs paused. "But why start a fight."
"I needed something an outlet for the anger." Tony shrugged. "But it wasn't about her. I swear."
"It doesn't matter." Gibbs shook his head.
"Yes it does." Tony nodded. "Because I don't like you looking at me that way."
"What way?" Gibbs asked puzzled.
"Like I wanted someone beside you." Tony shook his head. "And I didn't."
"Are you sure?" Gibbs needed to ask.
"I didn't leave because I didn't want you or us." Tony paused. "I love you and I'm scared of that. It was never because I wanted someone or something else."
Gibbs leaned into Tony's ear. "I love you and you're all I want."
"I know that. You've made that clear." Tony smiled
"But if all you want is my friendship." Gibbs paused. "I'll accept that, without question."
"I know you would." Tony sighed. "But that's not what I want."
Steel blue eyes met emerald green.
"Then you need to make it clear to me what you want." Gibbs let out a long breath. "Because I can't go back and forth like this."
Tony let his body fall against Gibbs, let the closeness say as much as it could.
"I want us." Tony took Gibbs' face in his hands. "I want to love you, in every way possible. But-"
"Tony I want to be with you." Gibbs wanted Tony to understand. "And if this relationships doesn't work I promise you. I will still always be here for you."
Tony nodded. "I need to believe that."
"Believe it. I always keep my promises."
"Yeah, you do."
"I know I can't tell you everything is going to be perfect, but-" Gibbs paused. "I can tell you . I love you and I have for a very long time and I don't see anything ever changing that."
"Are you sure you wanna put up with me?" Tony let out a nervous chuckle.
Gibbs smirked and nodded. "Yeah."
"I want you and I love you." Tony sighed. "And it's exciting and scary all at once."
"That's a good thing." Gibbs smiled.
"It is." Tony grinned.
"Does this mean we've made up?" Gibbs asked.
Tony nodded.
"Good." Gibbs sighed as he crushed his lips to Tony's. The pent up need devastating in its intensity as the passion and desire fueled Gibbs need.
Tony's hands clutched at the back of Gibbs' neck until the kiss slowed.
Gibbs casually let the kiss end and as their lips parted his eyes were still closed.
"Please take me up stairs." Tony sighed.
Opening his eyes, Gibbs smiled at Tony. His hands slipped from Tony's waist and he took Tony's hand leading him up the stairs.
Gibbs stopped beside the bed. His hands pushed the bottom of Tony's shirt up. Understanding, Tony raised his hands and let Gibbs remove it. His lips sank down to Tony's neck kissing, sucking and licking at the soft flesh as his hands explored the muscles of Tony's back.
Tony's hands struggled to unbutton Gibbs' shirt wanting and needing to feel Gibbs' skin. Stepping back, Gibbs pulled the shirt from his body then fell back on Tony. Letting his lips stop by Tony's ear Gibbs whisper.
"Lay down."
"But-"
"Please." Gibbs sighed.
Tony climbed into the bed laying on his back.
Gibbs shook his head.
Tony rolled over, folding his arms under his head and looking over at Gibbs.
Crawling onto the bed next to Tony, Gibbs placed a kiss on the small of Tony's back causing him to squirm. He kissed up Tony's spine as his hands caressed up either side.
Tony moaned arching his back up against Gibbs touch. As he reached Tony's neck Gibbs trailed kisses across Tony's shoulders letting his hands travel up and down Tony's ribcage.
"Please." Tony laughed.
"Ticklish." Gibbs smirked.
"Yes."
"Good to know." Gibbs grinned as his lips tasted the back of Tony's neck, his hands continued their exploration of his body.
Tony tried to just enjoy the touch but his body craved more and he squirmed.
"Impatient?" Gibbs chuckled.
"Yes." Tony sighed.
"Roll over." Gibbs said suddenly at Tony's ear.
Tony obeyed turning over and looking up at Gibbs.
Gibbs smiled. "So much more to explore."
And with that Gibbs' lips pressed to Tony's neck nipping the tender flesh.
Tony moaned as his fingers knotted into a fist on the back of Gibbs head.
Gibbs' hands swept over Tony's chest touching and discovering every peak and valley. Pulling himself from Tony's grip, Gibbs placed kisses across Tony's chest until finding his first target. There was a sharp intake of breath as Gibbs' tongue flicked across Tony's right nipple.
"Oh God." Tony groaned surprised at the sensation that shot through his body.
Another lick and Gibbs mouth sucked at the nipple.
Tony's hands wrapped around the rungs of the headboard.
"Never had anyone do that before." Gibbs said as his fingers gently rubbed and squeezed Tony's other nipple.
"No." Tony gasped
Gibbs replaced his fingers with his mouth giving the same treatment to Tony's other nipple. Wanting more, Gibbs lips traveled farther down reaching Tony's belly button he licked and kissed around it.
Then Gibbs momentarily paused.
"Please don't stop." Tony sighed.
"Believe me I'm nowhere near done with you." Gibbs said as his hands released the button on the top of Tony's jeans then pressed a kiss to the newly exposed flesh.
"Jethro." Tony moaned as his body shivered.
Gibbs eyes closed briefly causing him to pause again.
Tony smiled knowing why Gibbs had stopped..
"Jethro please." Tony sighed saying the name again and looking down at the man.
Gibbs slipped down the zipper on Tony's jeans.
"Lift your hips." Gibbs said.
There was a moment of hesitation before Tony lifted up. The hesitation surprised Gibbs and again he stopped.
"Put your hips down." Gibbs said as he crawled back up Tony's body.
Face to face again, Gibbs looked down into those green eyes, seeing the confusion. Gibbs let his fingers claw over Tony's jean covered cock.
Tony groaned and arched into Gibbs touch. His hand caressing up Gibbs' chest.
Gibbs' lips dipped back to Tony's neck as he continued to let his hand fondle Tony's cock. Pulling back Gibbs locked his gaze with Tony's.
"No rush. One thing at a time. Okay."
Tony nodded.
"I want you in every way." Gibbs growled. "But there is no rush. Understand?"
"Yes."
Gibbs licked his lips. "Right now I want to do is suck your cock."
"Oh God Jethro." Tony groaned.
"And that's all I want." Gibbs continued to stare at Tony making sure he understood.
Again, Tony nodded.
Gibbs slid back down Tony's body his hands on the waist band of Tony's jeans. Tony lifted his hips without Gibbs even asking. A smirk spread across Gibbs' face as he pulled Tony's jeans down off his body leaving Tony laying there naked.
Gibbs' eyes cascaded over Tony's body drinking him in.
"You are gorgeous." Gibbs sighed. Letting his hand grasp the base of Tony's cock, Gibbs' tongue flicked out across the head.
"Jethro." Tony groaned and threw his head back.
Gibbs licked his lips savoring the taste of Tony's essence there. Dropping down again, Gibbs' lips
wrapped around Tony's cock and took him in.
"God yes." Tony's body trembled as Gibbs' mouth glided up and down his cock. Opening his eyes and looking down, Tony was unprepared for how erotic the image would be to him. Gibbs' mouth around his cock, his head moving up and down, it caused Tony to shake and he was afraid he would lose control.
Gibbs' hand slid up Tony's chest reaching, Tony let his hand drift down and find Gibbs, locking their fingers together.
Tony's hips involuntarily thrust up with each of Gibbs downward motions.
"Jethro I can't" Tony gasped as he found it harder and harder to catch his breath. "Feels so good."
Gibbs speed increased as he knew Tony's release was near wanting to push Tony over the edge.
"Jethro." Tony cried out as he felt the need wash over him. He thrust up as his release poured from him and into Gibbs. The world went white, then black as his body trembled and then slumped to the bed. He fought to breath, his lungs refusing to take in the air he so desperately needed.
Gibbs finally pulled himself from Tony's cock and moved back up his body. He dropped down beside him letting his hand brush across Tony's chest. Dropping his lips to Tony's neck he kissed up to his ear.
"I love the way you scream my name." Gibbs whispered. "Especially when you come."
Tony grabbed the back of Gibbs' neck pulling him down their lips almost touching.
"Jethro." Tony sighed. "Jethro."
"What?" Gibbs smirked.
"Nothing." Tony smiled. "I just love the way you look when I say your name."
Gibbs chuckled.
"Now kiss me." Tony said as he crushed Gibbs' lips to his.
Gibbs pulled back. "There is nothing better than making up and making love."
Tony smiled. "Is that so?"
"Yes." Gibbs sighed.
Tony's lips were instantly on Gibbs' chest, his hands clawing across Gibbs' back
"Lay back." Tony said pushing Gibbs down on the bed and straddling him.
"Tony you don't-"
"It's my turn." Tony grinned as his hands were again on Gibbs' chest.
Gibbs looked up at Tony eyebrow raised.
"Is that so?" Gibbs smirked thrusting his hard cock up against Tony.
Tony moaned but pushed down pinning Gibbs' hips to the bed.
"I said my turn." Tony leaned forward then slid his hand down Gibbs' chest and grabbed his cock.
Gibbs moaned. "Tony."
"These need to go." Tony sighed as he tugged at Gibbs' belt, finally releasing it and then undoing the button and the zipper. He pushed forcing them down Gibbs hips. Gibbs used his feet to push them the rest of the way off.
Tony's hand then wrapped around Gibbs cock stroking over its length.
"Fuck Tony." Gibbs growled grabbing Tony's hips. "I didn't expect-"
"You so wanted me all meek and mild didn't you?" Tony smirked as he continued stroking Gibbs' cock. "Trembling as you just had your way with me."
"No." Gibbs moaned. "Not at all."
"Good. Because I don't want to just lay there and let you have your way with me all the time." Tony sighed loving the feel of Gibbs' cock in his hand
"I get that." Gibbs threw his head back.
Tony's lips brushed Gibbs' ear. "I want to learn what you like."
"I definitely like this." Gibbs groaned as he clawed at Tony's ass.
"And what you want."
"I want you."
"You have me." Tony speed up his movements.
"Oh God." Gibbs felt the release knew it was close. Wanting Tony as much as he did only pushed him over the edge faster.
"I want to make you come." Tony stare into those steel blue eyes. "Please."
"Tony." Gibbs growled as he thrust up and came. His knuckles white as he clutched at Tony.
Tony's hand continued to work over Gibbs' cock until Gibbs whole body went limp.
"That was fun." Tony smirked
Gibbs grabbed Tony and gently tossed him down on the bed causing Tony to laugh.
"You are-"
"What?" Tony grinned.
"Everything I want." Gibbs sighed. "And so much more."
"Good." Tony smiled.
Gibbs kiss was immediate and laced with all the passion of their love making. Stopping only when he was sure he had expressed what needed to be said with that kiss.
"Shower?" Gibbs smiled.
Tony nodded with a grin.
##########################################################################
Tony flopped down onto the bed and smirked up at Gibbs."Never had such an invigorating shower."
Gibbs chuckled. slipping on a pair of boxers and climbing into bed. He felt the movement as he saw Tony crawling towards him, Tony climbed onto his body, straddling his legs.
"Can I ask a question and get an actual answer?" Tony sighed.
Gibbs nodded.
"Why do you love me so much?"
Gibbs chuckled. "Is that really a question?"
"Yes." Tony nodded.
"And you want me to explain?" Gibbs smirked.
"Yes."
"Tony." Gibbs laughed.
"I'm serious." Tony stared at Gibbs.
"What is this about?" Gibbs shook his head. "You know how I feel."
"But I'm asking why?" Tony paused. "Because you're you and I'm me."
"Tony I've never know you to have low self esteem."
"I don't. Believe me." Tony smirked. "But why do you want to put up with me?"
"Put up with you?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah?" Tony smiled. "The antics, the movies, the crap like what happened at the bar the other night, the inexperience. Everything."
"Is that what this is about your inexperience with men?" Gibbs sighed.
"That's not the only thing."
"Tony you are who you are." Gibbs smiled.
Tony nodded.
Gibbs hands caressed up Tony's ribcage. "And I want you just like you are."
"I know you do, that's what seems so crazy." Tony sighed.
"Crazy why?"
"Because you don't want to change me in any way." Tony shook his head. "You want me. The good, the bad and the ugly."
"Yes I do." Gibbs nodded
"I love that about you." Tony smiled leaning forward his hands drifting over Gibbs chest. "And it's so damn sexy."
Gibbs laughed. "Is that so?"
"Oh yeah." Tony nodded. "Or maybe it's just you."
Gibbs rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"No." Gibbs sat up, Tony in his lap and pressed their bodies together. "It's you."
Tony's fingers ran through Gibbs' hair on the side of his side. It had surprised him, how soft Gibbs silver hair was, but then so many things about being with Gibbs surprised him.
"What are you thinking?" Gibbs sighed running his hands over Tony's back.
"That I never thought I would be in this position." Tony grinned. "With you."
"I always wanted to be in this position with you." Gibbs smirked as his hands slipped down and cupped Tony's ass.
Tony sighed as his gaze fixed on Gibbs. "My boss, my friend, my lover, a sexy man. Who knew that's the combination I would need to fall in love."
##########################################################################
The shrill cry of the alarm, made Tony groan as he rolled over and slapped the offending clock. He dropped down onto his back, already knowing the bed beside him would be empty. Gibbs was always up early. There was no getting around it, he needed to get up, and get ready for work. Slipping out of bed, Tony padded to the bathroom and started the shower. Pushing the shower curtain aside he climbed in. Placing his hands on the wall in front of him, Tony let the hot water pour down over his neck and back.
Tony jumped when he felt the arms around his waist and the hard cock press against his ass, then he smirked to himself. He leaned back against the warm body.
"You better be careful my boyfriend carries a gun." Tony sighed.
Gibbs thrust his cock hard against Tony.
"A big gun." Tony moaned reaching back and clutching Gibbs' hip.
Gibbs lips caressed over Tony's neck, his hands clawing over Tony's stomach.
"Did you come in here for something?" Tony asked.
The only reply was Gibbs' hand drifting down and wrapping around Tony's cock.
"Jethro." Tony dropped his head back against Gibbs' shoulder and looked over at him.
Capturing Tony's lips, Gibbs devoured the younger man as his hand stroked quickly over Tony's cock. He would never get tired of tasting and touching every part of Tony.
"Oh God." Tony groaned ripping their lips apart as he felt the need building out of control. He started rocked his hip in rhythm with Gibbs strokes. "So close."
Gibbs' hand tightened on Tony's cock as his other hand reached down and massaged Tony's balls.
"Jethro." Tony cried out as his balls contracted and he came.
Gibbs lips pressed against Tony's ear. "Good morning."
Tony chuckled as he tried to catch his breath. "Good morning to you."
########################################################################
Tony rushed into the bullpen with a few minutes to spare.
"Morning." Ziva said staring at Tony.
"Morning." Tony smiled sitting down at his desk.
"You got lucky." Ziva raised an eyebrow.
"Jealous?" Tony asked.
"Abby said you were dating someone special." Ziva paused. "But that it ended."
"Just a little misunderstanding." Tony smirked.
"Do not tell me your sexual prowess won her over again?" Ziva rolled her eyes.
"Definitely not." Tony grinned.
Ziva's head went back in surprised.
"Don't you two have work today?" Gibbs said never looking up.
"Right Boss, on it Boss." Tony nodded trying not to smile as he started typing at the keyboard.
Gibbs shook his head.
The phone on Gibbs' desk rang and all three Agents looked over as he answered it.
"Yeah, Gibbs." There was a brief pause and then he hung up.
As Gibbs stood up, the three Agents rose.
"Sit down." Gibbs said then looked at Tony. "DiNozzo."
"Yeah boss?"
"Director wants to see us." Gibbs said walking across the bullpen.
Tony jumped up and was immediately at Gibbs' heels following him up the stairs.
"What's going on Boss?" Tony asked.
"No clue." Gibbs shrugged as they made their way down the hall.
########################################################################
Gibbs and Tony walked into the Directors office stopping in front of Vance's desk.
Vance looked at Gibbs. "For once, Agent DiNozzo pissed off someone instead of you."
Tony's eyes darted around trying to figure out who the hell he had pissed off lately.
"Anything come to mind yet?" Vance turned his attention to DiNozzo.
"No sir."
Vance nodded and picked up a paper from his desk holding it out to DiNozzo. "Seems you're being sued."
"What?" Tony grabbed the paper and started reading it, Gibbs reading over his shoulder.
Gibbs shook his head and chuckled.
"You find this funny Agent Gibbs?"
"Come on Leon." Gibbs rolled his eyes.
"Why do I not know about this?" Tony looked at Vance.
"A friend sent it, wanted to give me and you a heads up."
"It was a bar fight and the guys suing for emotional suffering." Gibbs chuckled again.
Vance glared at Gibbs then looked at Tony. "Let me guess you were hitting on his girlfriend?"
"Um." Tony scrunched his face. "Not exactly. I mean that's what he thought." Tony was talking with his hands and his face now. "But it had nothing to do with his girlfriend other than I was talking to her. Then he shows up, gets in my face-"
"I get it." Vance said holding up his hand. "Seems he decided to sue you because he found out your a Federal Agent."
"Of course he did." Tony shook his head.
"That's why I heard about it." Vance looked back at Gibbs. "You knew about this."
"The fight." Gibbs nodded. "Yeah."
"You there?"
"No." Gibbs paused. "But Abby and Ziva were."
"Wonderful." Vance said annoyed. "And the Prosecutor will love that two NCIS team members where there to lie for him."
"It was a stupid bar room brawl." Gibbs sighed. "The guys an idiot."
"An idiot with a broken jaw and broken hand."
Gibbs glanced at Tony and smirked. "You broke his jaw?"
"Well." Tony shrugged. "I got some punches in before he hit me with the chair."
Gibbs nodded impressed.
"You two having fun with this?" Vance barked standing up.
"I'll handle it." Gibbs snapped.
"Like your boy handled it." Vance snapped back.
"My boy was defending himself."
"HEY!" Tony hollered. "Can we stop calling me his boy!"
Gibbs and Vance both turned to Tony. A smirk started across Gibbs' lips but he stopped it.
"Tony give us a minute." Gibbs sighed.
"No, this is my problem and I'll deal with it." Tony glared at Gibbs.
"A minute." Gibbs gave Tony a softened stare.
"Fine." Tony sighed walking out the door.
"Something you wanna discuss?" Vance asking coming around to the front of the desk and leaning against it.
"Tony wasn't hitting on her."
"And you know that for sure?" Vance folded his arms across his chest.
"Yeah." Gibbs nodded.
"But you weren't there?"
"He told me. The boyfriend saw them talking, took it the wrong way."
"And you believe him?"
"Yeah Leon I do." Gibbs rolled his eyes.
"With DiNozzo's track record with woman you honestly think he wasn't hitting on her?"
"Yeah."
Vance's eyes narrowed as he searched Gibbs' eyes. "What aren't you telling me?"
Gibbs took a deep breath. "Tony and I had a fight, he was talking to the woman about how to make it right with me."
"Doesn't mean he wasn't hitting on her." Vance chuckled.
"Yeah it does." Gibbs nodded.
Vance stood there a moment, then his arms fell from his chest. "You had a fight, fight?"
"Yeah."
Vance's eyes widened and his eyebrows went up.
"Believe me I can take care of this." Gibbs smirked.
"I don't wanna know." Vance shook his head.
"It will all be legal." Gibbs grinned. "Believe me."
"Um hum." Vance walked aback around his desk and sat down.
Gibbs turned and walked out the door. Tony was sitting on the couch outside the door and he jumped up when Gibbs came out.
"I'll go talk to the guy, see if-"
"I know what to do." Gibbs said heading out the hallway and down the steps.
"Jethro." Tony said it softly grabbing Gibbs' arm. "You can't just go and beat him up."
Gibbs stopped and glared at Tony's arm on his.
Tony released Gibbs' arm, stepping back and pulling his jacket down.
"I'm not gonna beat him up." Gibbs rolled his eyes.
"What I just mean-"
"Tony." Gibbs sighed. "I'm not beating the crap out of everyone that sues you."
"Why not?" Tony looked upset.
Gibbs chuckled and shook his head. "I love you and I might be jealous but I'm not your personal body guard here to fight everyone you piss off."
Tony grinned.
"What?" Gibbs barked.
"You just told me you loved me at work."
Gibbs looked at Tony then just shook his head.
"Very sweet and-" Tony held up his finger. "Very un-Gibbs of you."
"DOWNSTAIRS NOW!" Gibbs shouted pointing at the steps.
#######################################################################
Walking into the bar, Gibbs glanced around finding who he was looking for standing with a few other guys at the bar. He walked over by them and stopped.
"Corey Holman." Gibbs said the name.
"Yeah." The man nodded. "Who are you?"
Gibbs chuckled. "Someone you need to talk to." He flashed the badge at his hip.
Corey shook his head. "I don't think so."
"If I was you I would." Gibbs paused. "Because you really don't want me to say what I have to say in front of your friends."
Corey stared at Gibbs a moment, then nodded to his friends. They walked over to a pool table keeping their eyes on the other two men.
Gibbs nodded to the bar tender. "Bourbon, neat." Then tossed a couple bills down on the bar.
Corey chuckled.
The bartender slid the drink to Gibbs and he took a sip.
"You're gonna drop the lawsuit against Agent DiNozzo."
The other man started to laugh through his wired jaw. "Yeah right."
"No." Gibbs nodded. "You are."
"And why would I do that?" Corey smirked.
"Did your girlfriend tell you what she and Agent DiNozzo were talking about?"
"No. Does it matter?"
"Yeah." Gibbs smirked. "It really does."
Corey looked at Gibbs.
"See he was asking her what to do about screwing up his relationship with his boyfriend."
The man's eyes widened and he swallowed hard.
Gibbs took another sip of his Bourbon. "Wanna take a guess who his boyfriend is?"
There was no response.
Gibbs glanced over at the men at the pool table and smiled.
"You drop this lawsuit or I tell your buddies you got your ass kicked by my little pretty boy." Gibbs stared at the man. "And if you don't drop the lawsuit, I kick your ass too then tell them anyway."
Corey was silent.
"Your choice." Gibbs sighed. "If this doesn't go away by tomorrow. I'll be back to work it out."
