A/N- I forgot to mention, but I don't own NCIS. The CBS broadcasting corporation and Donald P. Bellisario do.
Unlike football practice in the fall, basketball practice was held at the middle school, which meant that Tony could get there without having to hitch a ride. Dwayne didn't play a sport in the winter so Tony usually walked home. It wasn't so bad though. Johnny and Danny both walked home after practice every evening and they all started off going in the same direction.
It was a brisk evening in mid-January and the three of them were heading home after practice. Johnny was ranting, "I could kill my brother!"
Danny and Tony both looked at him. Danny asked, "What's he done this time?"
Johnny snorted, "He let his snake loose in our room, and now he can't find it."
Danny raised his eyebrows, "Damn."
Johnny sighed, "You're lucky you're an only child and don't have to share a room."
Danny shrugged, "I guess so. What about you Tony? You have a lot of brothers. You share a room?"
Tony smiled, "Well I might, except my dad's good at building things. He built a wall cutting my room in half so me and Tim could each have our own room."
Danny frowned, "Wouldn't that make your room tiny?"
Tony Shrugged, "It's not so small. Plus I'd rather have a small room." He turned to Johnny, "Which would you pick, sharing a room with your brother, or having your own room half the size?"
Johnny nodded thoughtfully, "It's a tough call. Though my dad can't even build a birdhouse, let alone a wall, so…" he shrugged.
Danny turned the topic to schoolwork, and they walked along for another five minutes, before they came to the corner where Tony turned to get to Gibbs' house and Johnny and Danny kept going. He waved goodbye and said, "See you guys at school tomorrow."
The other two nodded and Johnny said, "Yeah, we'll see ya then." The two of them continued on their way while Tony turned the corner and headed for home.
A/N- This was just a short piece that tries to explain the rooming situation in the Gibbs household. The house originally had 4 bedrooms, Gibbs' room, Kelly's room and two others, however once Kate Dwayne and Stan moved in, Gibbs started building walls, first so Dwayne and Stan could have their own rooms, then so the others could have their own rooms too as they moved in. I'm not sure of the exact details, but I know that not even Gibbs' room remained untouched as the house filled up. Every one of the Gibblets, including Jenny and Ziva has their own room, with the exception of Jimmy, who sleeps in a crib in Gibbs' room. I'm currently working on a Gibbs meets Jimmy chapter, which, hopefully, should be posted by next Monday. Reviews do speed the writing process though.
