"Y-you're in l-love with me?" Gibbs stuttered out.
"Yes," Tony said simply.
"How—no, I'm not even going to ask. This complicates things…"
"It doesn't have to. Make me a promise, Boss."
Gibbs looked at him wearily. "What kind of promise?"
"Never come to me outside of work hours unless it is to check on my wellbeing for work or if you do reciprocate my feelings for you."
Gibbs looked at him for a minute then agreed.
"Don't let this get awkward Boss. I'm the same person, the only thing that has changed is that you know how I feel and other than that, nothing has changed. I won't change in how I act. I won't flirt or anything like that. So please don't just up and fire me for this. I feel as if NCIS has become my home… The first home I've ever really had…" Tony trailed off.
Gibbs nodded. "OK, I will keep my promise to you, and I'll make sure things do not become awkward. If you feel that they are, come talk to me and we'll sort it out."
-Tony/Gibbs-
"Can I kiss you?" Tony asked pulling Gibbs out of his memories.
A/N: There's the promise. Now kitties, don't get mad at the slight cliff-hanger. It's 3 in the morning and I have to work tomorrow. What will Gibbs' response be? Review and take a guess (though you probably already know) and you'll soon find out.
