Tony stood in the den, staring at the massive collection of DVD's and CD's that lined the built-in shelves on the wall. Knowing he didn't have a whole lot of time before he had to get dinner started for their pre-thanksgiving thanksgiving dinner that they were having with the entire MCRT, Abby, Ducky, Palmer and Austin and Garrett. Tony was overly excited about Austin and Garrett coming to DC, and their house specifically, they'd kept in constant contact since they said they would be coming up there, and now it was finally time for the team to meet the couple that they'd spent their entire North Carolinian Honeymoon with.

Tony grabbed a few CD's off the shelf and slotted them into their spots in the six-disc player and pressed play, turning the volume up so that the music would echo through the entire house. He knew Gibbs would probably kill him, or at least shut the music off once he heard it, but Tony didn't care as he swung his hips and headed into the kitchen, grinning brightly at the turkey that lay ready on the island for his preparations.

"Tom Da Turkey! How are you this morning?!" Tony asked in a chipper tone as he slapped the flesh of the bird and then moved to the spice rack that Gibbs had built and began pulling a handful of spices off it and placing them into a shallow bowl.

"Tony, you realize the bird cannot talk, right?" Gibbs asked as he walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water, leaning against the counter as he watched his husband's hips swaying back and forth.

"Mhm, I know! But, he's going to be eaten soon, so I thought making him feel comfortable would be good for him!" Tony stated excitedly as he began mixing the dozen spices together in the bowl.

Gibbs shook his head as he took a sip of the water then walked over to Tony, setting his hands against the swaying hips of his husband "He's not breathing Tony, not even alive… Doesn't know what you're saying…" Gibbs said quietly as he pressed open mouthed kisses along Tony's neck and bare shoulders.

Tony sighed as he leaned back against Gibbs, his ass settling against the hard erection straining against Gibbs' jeans, "Mhm… I know… But… he… he needs to… know it's going… to be alright…" Tony said breathlessly as Gibbs ground his hips forward against Tony's backside, effectively pinning the younger man to the counter.

"He won't know what's going to happen to him…" Gibbs said huskily as he ran his tongue down the side of Tony's neck, then back up until his mouth was just inches from Tony's ear, "Just don't let him know you're about to put him in the oven to bake him at 375, and I'm sure he won't feel bad." Gibbs said softly as he ran his hands up from Tony's hips to the younger man's chest, his thumbs flicking over the hardened nipples underneath Tony's tank top.

Tony moaned and let his head fall forward as he rocked his hips against Gibbs' body "Dinner… is never going… to get finished… if you keep this up!" Tony protested weakly as he bit back his bottom lip, a small whimper rumbling in his throat as Gibbs continued tweaking his nipples.

"You want me to stop?" Gibbs asked as he trailed his hands down Tony's stomach slowly, Tony nodded, whimpering in protest from the loss of stimulation. Then Tony shook his head as he turned around in Gibbs' arms and pushed the older man against the counter behind them, kissing him with all the desire and need he felt in that moment.

Gibbs wrapped his arms around Tony's thighs and hoisted the younger man up into his arms and against his chest, their lips still locked together as he turned Tony's body and slammed him against the fridge, both men moaning as their hands clawed at shirts to pull them off.

"Had I known turkey was so romantic, I would have bought one every day for the past three years…" a voice said from behind the two men who were nearly naked now.

Tony squeaked as he dropped from Gibbs' arms, grabbing his falling shorts with both hands, "Garrett! Austin!" Tony shrieked, his voice rising an octave as he stared at the couple, shaking fingers fumbling to button his shorts back up.

Garrett laughed as he looked at the unseasoned turkey and then over at Gibbs and Tony, "What? I thought you knew we were coming?" Garrett asked nonchalantly as he grabbed a chopped piece of celery from the bowl sitting on the counter and popped it into his mouth.

Tony nodded slowly as he walked back over to the turkey, "Yeah, we did… But… I mean, I thought… you know, that you guys would be here later! Like, around dinner time!" Tony managed to squeak out, his face and neck burning a bright red as he grabbed the bowl of spices and began liberally coating the turkey's flesh, keeping his eyes averted from his company.

Gibbs grinned as he grabbed a handful of celery, but before he could pull his hand out of the bowl, a sharp slap to the back of his hand was administered, he stared up at Tony with a raised eyebrow "I need the damned celery, and unless you feel like going out to the store to buy me more, I suggest you keep your saw-dust covered fingers out of my vegetables!" Tony stated, poking Gibbs roughly in the chest.

Gibbs pouted as he dropped the handful of celery back into the bowl and stepped away "Fine… Austin and I will go to the grocery store and buy more stuff!" Gibbs exclaimed as he walked out of the kitchen, grabbing his keys and wallet, hardly giving Austin a chance to catch up with the older man as he bounded out of the house.

Garrett raised his eyebrow as he dropped down into the bar stool and looked over at Tony, "Okay well, that was weird… What's up with the fiery attitudes?" Garrett asked curiously "Especially after the display we walked in on…" Garrett added, waving towards the fridge.

Tony shrugged as he massaged the turkey with oils and spices "Its uhm… It's complicated?" Tony offered weakly as he opened the oven and slid the turkey into the warmed appliance.

"Well, uncomplicated it… believe me honey, I have seen everything when it comes to relationships. Austin and I have not always been this compatible…" Garrett said as he popped another piece of celery into his mouth, grinning up at Tony's angered glare.

Tony shook his head as he leaned against the counter "Gibbs has an open door policy, at least during the day… And there have been many of spontaneous moments, like the one you two just walked in, that have been interrupted by at least everyone on our team… It just makes us both a little pissy, and instead of taking it out on the person who interrupted us, we take it out on each other…" Tony stated, shrugging his shoulders slightly as he snagged the bowl of celery and put it in the fridge.

Garrett turned his head to the side, raising an eyebrow past his hairline "Okay, so that is a new one… But, have you guys ever thought about like… locking the door, and keeping it that way, until someone knocks?" Garrett asked curiously, tapping his fingers against the counter top.

"Not when nearly everyone still has access to the house, half the team has a key to the front door. It's a futile point, Garrett, spontaneity only happens on occasion in this house." Tony complained as he sat down beside his friend and rested his forehead against the counter.


Austin slid into the pickup truck next to Gibbs and looked at the older man and the angry expression on his face as Gibbs pulled out of the driveway, "Okay… So what the hell was up with that?" Austin asked, pointing backwards in the direction of the house.

Gibbs shook his head as he twisted the steering wheel in his fists, "Just… we hate getting interrupted when… things are a little hot and heavy…" Gibbs said as he swerved around a car going to slow for his liking.

Austin nodded slightly, wrapping his hand around the 'oh-shit' handle and looking at Gibbs, "Oh, well shit man! Why not just lock the door and keep it that way?" Austin asked curiously, watching as the traffic of the city whizzed past him.

Gibbs sighed as he pulled into the grocery parking lot and cut the engine "Because I have an open door policy to my team and friends, and it's been that way for as long as I can remember… Don't like people feeling put out…" Gibbs said, shrugging slightly as he slid out of the pickup.

"Uh… But isn't that technically what you're doing to Tony by keeping this policy?" Austin asked as the two men began walking through the store side-by-side.

Gibbs looked over at Austin, raising an eyebrow questioningly "What do you mean?" Gibbs asked as he grabbed two bundles of celery and dropped them into the hand-basket.

"You're putting Tony out, basically, by keeping this open door policy… Whenever you two want to get it on, and someone walks in on you… I saw the look in his eyes, past the embarrassment… He was pissed off, and not at us for walking in…" Austin stated as he grabbed several different bags of chips, holding them up to Gibbs.

Gibbs shrugged and nodded towards the basket, watching as Austin set the bags in the basket "Huh, I never thought about it like that… I mean, I know he gets pissed off about it, but I always thought he was pissed at the person walking in… Guess that makes sense why he always yells at me instead of them…" Gibbs mused out loud as he set a jar of salsa and cheese into the basket.

Austin laughed as he settled an arm over Gibbs' shoulder and stared at the older man "Really? You thought he'd just yell at you for no reason? Communication Jethro, it makes every relationship on this planet rotate in the same direction… I know you don't talk a whole hell of a lot, but, you should definitely put in the effort for Tony, because he is worth it." Austin stated as he shook Gibbs slightly, then released the older man as he grabbed a pint of Amaretto Black Cherry ice cream.

Gibbs looked at the ice cream and then at Austin. Austin shrugged his shoulders as he set the ice cream in the basket "Its Garrett's favorite… Always works when he's pissed off at me." Austin said, grinning as he looked at the several selections of ice cream "What's Tony's favorite?" Austin asked curiously, swinging the freezer door back and forth in his hand.

Gibbs grabbed a pint of ice cream, spinning it around in his hands "Karamel Sutra Core…" Gibbs said, grinning slightly as he set the pint into the basket, then shrugged as he grabbed a pint of Bourbon Pecan Pie as well.

"Figures Tony would want something that subtly mentions sex in the name…" Austin said, laughing as he grabbed a pint of Banana Split ice cream and set it in the basket.

The two men quickly checked out their items and headed back to the pickup truck "Think about it Jethro… talk to Tony and see how you can make him feel more comfortable, especially in his own home. You two live together now, and from what I remember… You told me that you renovated a good majority of your house to make him feel at home… So, why wouldn't you do that with the rules of the house as well?" Austin questioned as he slid into the pickup, giving Gibbs time to think about this as they drove home in silence.


After everything for dinner was prepared, the four men sat on the couch in the den. Tony was flipping through the channels on the TV at a rapid pace, "There isn't anything good on." Tony stated, tossing the remote onto the couch and pushed himself up, he walked out of the den with his hands shoved into his pockets.

Gibbs scowled slightly as he grabbed the remote and set it in Austin's hand, "I'll be back, you guys find something to watch." Gibbs stated as he surged up off the couch and followed Tony out of the room and continued following the younger man until they were standing in the basement.

Tony and Gibbs stared at each other for long, silent, minutes. Tony finally sighed and slumped against the wall "This is getting ridiculous, Jethro…" Tony said quietly, wrapping his arms around his chest.

Gibbs nodded as he leaned against the wall next to Tony "We'll start locking the door… and, I'll install a latch, so those who have a key, can't get in. Believe me, I'm just as pissed about people barging in, especially when you're about to get your ass broken into." Gibbs said, grinning as he leaned over, kissing Tony softly on the side of the head.

Tony giggled as he nuzzled his head underneath Gibbs' chin and slid his arms around the older man's waist "Mmm that sounds like a good idea. I like when you break me in." Tony said, giggling more as he slid his hand beneath Gibbs' waist band, gently fondling the older man's flaccid cock to semi-hardness.

Gibbs moaned deep in his throat, his head falling back against the wall "Fuck…" Gibbs gasped out as Tony continued stroking Gibbs' growing erection. Tony grinned as he kissed along Gibbs' jawline, then dropped to his knees, "Tony… we have com-… pany!" Gibbs panted out as Tony wrapped his lips around Gibbs' cock.

Tony nodded slightly "Mhmmm" Tony hummed, creating a vacuum like suction as he swallowed Gibbs down to the base. Gibbs moaned out and placed his hand against the back of Tony's head, fisting his fingers in the fine strands as Tony continued to bob his head along the length of Gibbs' cock.

Gibbs groaned loudly as his hips thrusted forward involuntarily "Shit… shit… DAMN!" Gibbs ground out, his entire body shuddering as his cock exploded in Tony's mouth, hot come coming out in bursts down Tony's throat.

Tony grinned as he swallowed each drop and then stood up, adjusting Gibbs' pants, "That makes me feel better." Tony said softly as he kissed Gibbs and then spun around on his heel, and headed towards the stairs.

Gibbs laughed as he followed Tony and pinned the younger man's chest to the wall, "I'm glad you feel better." Gibbs whispered as he kissed down the side of Tony's neck softly.


Tony carefully pulled the turkey out of the oven, and grinned at the golden crispy skin, "He's perfect!" Tony exclaimed as he carefully set the sheet tray down and bumped the oven door shut with his hip.

Garrett giggled slightly as he bounded into the kitchen, "We need more wineee!" Garrett squealed as he held out his empty glass, waving it in the air.

Tony laughed as he took Garrett's glass and turned to the bottle of wine sitting in the ice box, "I think you've had more than enough wine, are you planning on spending the night here?" Tony asked, filling the glass despite his question.

Garrett shrugged as he bounced on the tips of his toes "Maybe! I mean, Austin isn't drunk… yet… but I'm sure he will be by after dinner!" Garrett said, grinning brightly as he took the glass from Tony and sipped gingerly at it, "Not that I'm drunk either… Sucks being tall and bulky." Garrett said, deflating a little as he hopped up on top of the counter.

"I dunno, I don't seem to have problems getting drunk… Then again, I'm what Jethro calls a light-weight, which is why I don't drink often anymore… I tend to hiccup a lot and then he makes fun of me." Tony stated, pouting slightly as he grabbed the turkey platter and set it down.

Garrett grinned as he reached over, patting Tony's cheek lightly "I bet you're cute and cuddly when you're drunk. You seem like the type that gets really touchy feely." Garret said as he continued to sip on his wine slowly.

"Tone! Rest of the team just pulled up!" Gibbs called from the living room where he was poking at the fire.

Tony inhaled deeply as he turned around and looked at Garrett "Meeting the rest of the family… Now that's going to be a thrill of a ride, turn on the charm Gar, because this is going to get interesting." Tony stated as he grabbed the platter with the turkey and headed towards the dining room with Garrett following behind him, bottle of wine tucked under one arm and glass still attached to his lips as he gingerly sipped the beverage.


Tony stood next to Gibbs while Austin and Garret stood next to them, and the team stood in front of the four men. Tony sighed as he took a slight step forward "This is Austin Scott and Garrett Malloy, these are the two guys we met at Battle House in Wilmington. Austin, Scott… This is our team; Abby, Ducky, Palmer, Tim McGee, Ellie, Ned and his boyfriend Cole, Keith and his wife Ashley, Carolyn, and Annie." Tony introduced everyone, then took a step back.

Everyone immediately got along as they exchanged handshakes, hugs or – in Abby and Ellie's case – hugs and kisses as they acquainted themselves with the new comers to the 'Gibbs' family'. Gibbs grinned as he nudged Tony in the arm "Looks like everyone is getting along just fine, told you that you were worried for nothing." Gibbs said as he kissed Tony's cheek lightly.

Tony nodded as he headed to the table and sat down, everyone else eventually followed suit and sat down at the long table, "I'd like to thank everyone for showing up tonight… I know we usually have Thanksgiving on well, Thanksgiving, but since Austin and Garrett will be spending time with their family, and we really wanted you guys to meet them, we thought a pre-thanksgiving, Thanksgiving dinner would be a better idea!" Tony stated as he looked around at his misfit family and smiled brightly.

Ducky nodded as he patted Tony's hand comfortingly "I think it is a pleasant idea, Tony, doing a Thanksgiving that all of us can enjoy and we can meet these lovely two young men who have become dear friends to you and Jethro in such a short amount of time." Ducky said with a warm smile on his face.

Everyone nodded their agreement and likewise agreed verbally with similar words directed in Tony's direction, causing the younger man blush and look down at his plate, "Alright, well let's eat – everything looks great!" Garrett said, grinning as he piled food onto his plate, everyone quickly followed suit and filled their plates with the food that they desired or wanted to try since there were several unknown dishes on the table made by everyone.

As Tony bit into what looked like squash casserole he gasped slightly and looked down at his plate, then his fork, "What… what is… in this?" Tony asked, gasping even more as he grabbed his water and tried washing whatever he ate down his throat that seemed to be closing up on him.

"Uh… it's… Its butternut squash, Brussel sprouts and apple bread stuffing…" Ellie said, raising her eyebrow as she looked at the paled expression on Tony's face, a look of horror quickly drawing across her face "Oh no, the squash!" Ellie gasped as she cupped her mouth.

Gibbs quickly shot up, his chair falling backwards as he bolted up the stairs. Tony continued gasping for breath, grabbing the table tightly as his throat continued closing up on him. Ducky reached over and quickly undid Tony's tie "Try and breathe Anthony, Jethro will be right back…" Ducky said as he grabbed a napkin and dipped it into the water glass, swiping Tony's face down to regulate his breathing.

Gibbs quickly came back down the stairs, his hands shaking as he hovered over Tony's thigh with the Epipen, his breathing erratic as he tried removing the safety cap, "Duck… I… I can't… get it!" Gibbs shouted as he tried once more to release the cap, looking up at Tony with worried eyes as the younger man's breathing was barely audible and his face was even paler.

Ducky shook his head as he nudged Gibbs' out of the way and took the Epipen from the shaky hand of his oldest friend, he quickly released the safety cap and as carefully as possible stabbed the pen against Tony's thigh, holding down and then releasing the pen and massaging into the muscle.

Tony gasped loudly as the drug entered his system, his eyes springing to tears as he coughed harshly, lying his head down against the table and sighing as he tried regulating his breathing "Mr. Palmer, if you could go retrieve my medical bag from my trunk…" Ducky said as he handed the young medical examiner the keys to his Morgan, Palmer nodded as he took the keys and quickly got up and headed outside.

Gibbs helped Tony up to his feet, "Come on, let's go lay you down…" Gibbs said softly as he guided Tony out of the dining room and into the den, carefully lying Tony down onto his side on the couch.

"Tell… El… It wasn't here fault… It happens!" Tony rasped out, coughing harshly into the couch and groaning as a headache began forming behind his eyes.

Gibbs sighed as he ran a soothing hand up and down Tony's back slowly "I'll tell her, don't worry about it right now…Just keep trying to breathe and relax…" Gibbs whispered as he kissed Tony's forehead lightly.

Ducky and Palmer came into the den, "Jethro, you get back to your guests. Doctor Palmer and I will help young Anthony here and get him back to working order." Ducky said as he cupped Gibbs' shoulder and squeezed affectionately.

Gibbs nodded as he kissed Tony softly on the lips "I'll just be in the other room if you need me… Love you." Gibbs said as he carded his fingers through Tony's hair gently and then stood up, heading back into the dining room to soothe their worried family and friends.


Ducky tsk'ed as he sat on the coffee table and opened his bag, pulling out his stethoscope "Anthony, you know you should have asked what things were made from before you dug in…" Ducky admonished as he lifted Tony's shirt up and began listening to the younger man's breathing, and without instruction, Tony breathed as deeply as possible when Ducky pressed the stethoscope down.

"Well, there is a slight crackle still, but I am sure that will resolve itself with rest. Lucky for you, you don't have to visit Dr. Pitt on this fine evening." Ducky said as he patted Tony's arm lightly "Now, you rest Anthony. Call one of us if you need anything…" Ducky said as he stood up and headed back to the dining room.

Palmer frowned as he walked over to the DVD's on the wall, searching through the thousands of titles "Last Man Standing?" Palmer asked, waving the DVD case in the air slightly, Tony grunted and nodded his head as he smiled tiredly. Palmer grinned as he slid the DVD into the player then moved to sit on the couch, and turned the TV on.

"So, were you tasked… with babysitting me? Or… You just… don't feel like eating anymore?" Tony asked, coughing a couple of times as he looked over at Palmer.

Palmer shook his head "Wasn't tasked with babysitting you and even if I were, I wouldn't tell you the truth. I had a late lunch today, so I'm not really hungry. Besides, hanging out with you is a much better time… The team can get a little… loud." Palmer said, sighing at the loud laughter echoing from the dining room.

Tony nodded as he reached under the coffee table and pulled out two Bluetooth headphones, handing on to Palmer "That's why I keep these around." Tony said, grinning as he slid the headphones on and snuggled into the couch.

Palmer grinned as he pulled two blankets from the back of the couch, throwing one over Tony and covering himself up with the other, then snuggled down on the other end of the couch and pulled the headphones on as they watched the movie, drowning out the sound from the dining room.
