The protégée's story

Work had not exactly been on Tony or Kate's minds that day. They had been more bothered about looking at each other. Not one member of team Gibbs had actually done any work that day. Tony, Kate, McGee, Ziva, Abby, Ducky and occasionally Gibbs had all sat in thebull pen and shared stories. Tony had told them stories from when he and Kate were partners (for Ziva's benefit.) . McGee had shared embarrassing stories of Tony, and Abby of Kate. Ziva of Tony's antics from the last year and Ducky, well 'ducky' stories. Gibbs had sat and watched from the side lines as his family interacted with each other.

Never had the thought even once occurred to him that in the future he would see the look of love in Tony's eyes. Lust- that he had seen many a time but ,love that he had never even hinted at seeing. Today though as he watched his protégée's interact, he saw how much he had miss judged the younger man. Gibbs could see plain and clearly that Tony loved Kate. It had only been a matter of hours since they had been reunited but, well that was true love.

At 17 00, the chance of them catching a case was small and he could see the new couple were eager to go home, just as he was, so he sent them home. Ziva, McGee and Abby went to the small pub on base that they frequently visited, whilst Tony took Kate back to his apartment. It was reasonably small yet modern with a kitchen diner, a living room with large wall mounted flat screen TV and red leather sofa. There were two bed rooms and a bathroom. The walls were mainly white but the whole ensemble was sophisticated and bachelor pad like. They went in and Tony went to get changed into a pair of jeans and hoodie, whilst Kate looked around. When he re joined her he handed her a pair of leggings she had left before she 'died' when she'd crashed on his sofa one night. Also he handed her one of his dress shirts.

"What are these for?" she questioned.

"Thought you'd want to change. Go get changed I'll fix us some snacks and a movies."

"Typical DiNozzo night in!" she smiled before softly kissing him slowly. "I had the wrong impression of you Tony DiNozzo, you're not all playboy at all. You are soft and caring at heart."

He placed a finger on her lips as if to quieten her. "Shh, secret that! Don't want to wreck my image now do we."

"Oh no, never in a million years." She said in a playfully sarcastic tone. He just smiled as she walked away to get changed, swaying her hips as she went. Tony took a deep breath and wondered to himself how on earth he had gotten so lucky to have her in his life.

By the time a now casually dressed Kate Todd re-joined her new lover the small glass coffee table in the lounge was covered in a range of coloured plastic bowl each containing different sweat snacks. A big red bowl of toffee popcorn sat pride of place in the middle. A pink bowl contained Milky Way stars, a blue with revels, a green with minstrels, an orange with buttons and a yellow with white buttons. She smiled as she saw the menu for the movie on the screen: 'The proposal'. She had seen it a hundred times over and realised Tony must've remembered it was her favourite movie.

"I think that shirt suits you better than me." He said referring to the white shirt with a blue pin stripe she was currently wearing. She gave him a twirl whilst laughing.

"It seems you have a good memory Mr DiNozzo." She aid linking her arms around his neck.

"Well I'm not a special agent for nothing."

"And I thought it was because you smiled."

"Well that too." He said.

The rest of the evening was filled with laughs and sweats as the pair sat curled up on the sofa. They fed each other the food tony had put out and laughed at the comical scenes before them. This had never been something tony DiNozzo had ever done. Usually his dates went bar to bed. This though was completely different. HE wasn't putting on his cocky persona, he was being himself. Enjoying the company of the woman he loved so so much.

Kate was so happy. The happiest she had been since her 'death'. She was laughing and smiling properly for the first time in a long time. And it was amazing.

The boss' story

Leroy Jethro Gibbs was a very happy man. After the kiss or kisses in the lift with Jenny they had both decided to keep it quiet for the time being. If it came out then, went wrong then it would only make things more awkward. Yet that was not going to stop this man being happy. HE had sat at his desk listening to the stories his team were telling and smiling at them. He looked up onto the balcony just as Jenny walked from MTAC to her office. She caught his eye and gave him a seductive smile. As soon as she was gone he near enough leapt up from his seat and went up to her office. He gave Cynthia a rare smile to which she replayed the gesture. He walked into her office and saw he stood at the window. Smiling to himself he walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her slim waist and kissed gently her neck to her jaw. "Hey." He said. Smiling as he felt her warmth against him. It had been too long since he had her in his arms.

"Mmmhm. Hey yourself." She said spinning in his arms and kissing his lips. "So, how long until we can go."

"The director wanting to skive! Well I never." He said sarcastically.

"Are you moaning?"

"Not at all."

"Good because I have finished all my paperwork like a good girl." She said fluttering her eye lashes.

"Half an hour your place." He said leaving her office in a rush. She simply laughed to herself, and began to pack her things away before sending Cynthia home.

Half an hour later Jenny Shepard answered her door smiling at the man before her. He was wearing a pair of faded jeans and an old white t-shirt. "Hey." She said smiling. She hadn't seen him look like that in a long long time.

"Hey." He replied as he looked at her attire. She wore a pair of black leggings and a purple vest top. Her hair was left long unlike it often was at work. He smiled; he had always loved her in casual clothing. She then let him in and they went into her study where he placed down a back of Chinese take-out on the desk and began to put it out whilst she began to poor two glasses of bourbon.

They ate the meal in silence. No words had ever been needed between this pair and it was one of those things that made their relationship what it was. "Jethro…" he looked at her and she looked down. "It means so much to me to be able to be giving this another go. After I left, I regretted it. But I…I suppose I figured you were better off without me so I focused on my job. Now though, now I know this is what I want. I promise I will never leave you again, and I am so so sorry for leaving you in Paris." She wiped away the tears that had begun to fall down her cheeks.

"Hey, I forgave you for Paris a long long time ago. I've missed you so much these last few years. I love you Jenny Shepard, and I mean that."

"I love you too Jethro."

And so the pair lay curled up in each other that night, and fell asleep together for the first time in years.
