####################

Tali sat at the kitchen island sipping her juice, Gibbs sitting next her with a bottled water. Tony stood across from them smiling at his daughter as she rambled on about nothing and everything to Gibbs.

"We feed the birds in the park." She said between sips. "Across the street."

Gibbs listened, nodded and answered questions when she asked.

"Do you like birds?"

"I do."

"Do you feed them?"

"I have a bird feeder in the back yard." Gibbs smiled. "And a bird house."

"Are there babies?" She asked excitedly.

"Sometimes."

Tali looked at Tony. "Can we have a bird house?"

Tony chuckled. "We can try. Not sure if the bird would want a house on a third story window ledge."

She turned back to Gibbs. "I need a bird house."

"Well maybe you and I can make one." Gibbs winked at her.

"Abba can help too."

Gibbs nodded. "Abba can help too."

She smiled from ear to ear then jumped down from her seat and went to run off.

"Where you going?" Tony asked.

"To look up bird houses with Papa." Questioned answered she ran off towards the living room.

Tony shook his head. "She's going to be a vet or an entomologist. She loves bugs, won't let me kill anything. We have to catch it study it figure out exactly what kind of bug it is then let it go outside."

Gibbs chuckled. "She's inquisitive and relentless, that's a good combination."

"Yeah." Tony stared at the marble countertop for a moment then looked back up at Gibbs. "We need to talk."

"I know."

"I just…I didn't think you were in the mood to really listen earlier."

"I wasn't." Gibbs took a deep breath and blew it out. "I needed some time to reset and get my emotions in check."

"And how's that going?"

Gibbs shrugged. "I was working on it then I got a call from a concerned little girl worried about her dad and-I'm here."

Tony shook his head. "I didn't think, I mean she asked why I was sad but her calling you was the last thing I expected."

"Kids are perceptive and have no filter. They say what they think and what they feel." Gibbs sighed. "She wanted you to be smiley again and thought I could do that."

Just the words made Tony smile.

"I wanna make you smile. I never want you to be sad because of me."

"It's not because of you, it's just all this-" Tony sighed. "This isn't exactly the best time or place to try and have this conversation when at any minute my father or daughter can come barging in."

"When is a good time and place?"

"It's now."

Tony and Gibbs both turned and looked at Senior standing in the opening to the kitchen.

"I'm taking Tali over to the park to watch the birds." Senior glanced back and forth between Tony and Gibbs. "Figure it out, maybe not all of it, but you both need to say what you need to say and go from there."

Tony opened his mouth about to speak when Senior glared at him.

"Don't say it." Senior's eyes narrowed. "Of course I want you and Tali here, but I only want you here if you're both going to be happy." He looked over at Gibbs. "And unfortunately, we both have to accept it if here isn't where Tony wants to be. We don't have to like it, but we have to accept it. "

Gibbs slowly nodded.

With that Senior turned and walked away.

Gibbs steely gaze locked on Tony. "I want you to be happy…no matter what."

Tony could hear the honesty in the statement, but he could also sense the unspoken sentiment beneath it. "And can you be happy, no matter what happens?" He watched as Gibbs seemed to be contemplating his response. "You said you'd always tell me the truth, even if I didn't like the answer."

"If you have a good reason for wanting to leave…for walking away from me, from us; I'll accept that and move on." Gibbs took a deep breath. "But I can't accept you leaving because of the excuses you think you have for walking way."

"Excuses? You think all my fears about us are excuses."

"No, I know you have fears about us, real fears, but those, those we can deal with." Gibbs paused remembering what Tony had just said about telling the truth. "But the excuses you've created are just that excuses and I don't know how to accept that."

Tony folded his arms across his chest. "And what excuses have I created?"

Gibbs could hear the annoyance in Tony's voice and see it in the younger man's body language. "You wanted the truth, so I'm giving it to you."

"Then please." Tony shrugged. "By all means tell me the truth, as you see it."

"Right as I see it." Gibbs snapped. "You were the one that said I notice everything, but now you don't wanna hear about what I actually see."

"Just because you notice it doesn't make it the truth." Tony snapped and started walking out of the kitchen.

Gibbs was up and going after him in a split second. "No, we're not going to keep doing this." He grabbed Tony's bicep and jerked the younger man back around. Narrow green eyes met his locked in a defiant glare. "I get upset, then you get upset and we never actually talk it through."

Tony tried to yank his arm free only to have the hand around his bicep tighten.

"It is the truth. You think you don't deserve this, any of it. Yet all you've ever wanted is a place to call home and a family, something tangible to hold on to." Gibbs grip loosened and his hand slid down Tony's arm and held his wrist. "And although Tali fulfills part of that, you need and want more. You want someone to share your life with; someone to see passed the jokes and fancy suits to the man that's underneath it all." He jerked Tony forward. "I saw passed all of that a long time ago and I still want nothing more than to love you and give you the life that you want and deserve." Gibbs shook his head. "And the excuse that Tali has a life in Paris, that it's become her home is a piss poor excuse, because all that little girl wants is for you to be happy. She proved that today." He stared at Tony. "She'll be happy where you are and where she is surrounded by people that love her. So don't use her as an excuse." He jerked Tony towards him again, face to face, their arms between their chests the only thing that kept their bodies from touching. "And I know you love me." Gibbs glanced at Tony's lips then back into the dilated green eyes. "I can tell in the way you kissed me, the way your lips chased mine desperately trying to make it last longer. The way your body leans into me, with even the slightest touch." Tony's body had pinned their arms between them desperately wanting contact. "The way your pulse races surging with want and need." His thumb at the inside of Tony's wrist brushed slowly back and forth over the raging pulse. "I know it scares you, but do you really want to let fear keep you from being happy." Gibbs lips brushed against Tony's continuing to almost touch as he spoke. "I promise I will make you happy for the rest of your life…if you'll let me." Gibbs felt the lips suddenly capture his and he let go of Tony's wrist, their arms falling from between them and their bodies made contact.

Tony felt the hand snake around his waist crushing their bodies tighter together. The heat between them sent a shiver through Tony's body and his hand caressed around Gibbs' neck. His fingers combed through the silver locks surprised by how soft the hair was, involuntarily his hand knotted in Gibbs hair, crushing their lips together harder. And he knew, this where he was meant to be.

Gibbs wanted it to go on forever, wanted to never let Tony go, but his aching lungs demanded air and he ripped their lips apart. His forehead fell against Tony's as he gasped for breathes, both arms now wrapped tightly around Tony's body afraid if he let go the man may somehow just disappear.

"I do love you." Tony panted trying to catch his breath. "And there is nothing I want more than to build a life with you."

The words took Gibbs breath away, his lungs again desperately trying to take in air, but it was useless. Gibbs suddenly pinned Tony against the wall behind him, his hands clawing up Tony's ribcage as his lips descended to the younger man's neck tasting the tender flesh.

Tony's eyes closed, his head went back against the wall as he rivalled in the pleasure that surged through him. His back arched pressing his groin against Gibbs and he moaned as he felt the hard cock against his own. The hands at his ribcage found their way around his body and latched on to his ass and squeezed. The action thrusted their cocks together causing more friction between them. "Gibbs please." The words came out as a whispered plea.

Gibbs could hear the want, the desire, but he could also hear the hint of worry. His lips kissed their way up Tony's neck pausing as he reached Tony's ear. "How long has it been?" He felt the body against him tremble. "Three months…six…nine." He heard the stifled whimper and the realization made Gibbs growl. "Over nine months." Gibbs' hands crawled back to Tony's ribcage. "I need to be alone with you soon." He licked his suddenly dry lips. "Our bodies skin to skin, kissing and touching every inch of you, licking and sucking your cock." He heard and felt Tony's sharp intake of breath. "Making you come over and over again."

"Stop please." Tony gasped as his hard cock twitched and his eyes shot open.

Reining in his desire, Gibbs kept Tony against him, but pulled his head back and looked into the dilated green eyes. "I have never wanted anyone as much as I want you." He leaned in, their lips almost touching when they heard the front door open. Taking a deep breath Gibbs took two steps back quickly putting distance between them.

Senior came walking towards the kitchen and stopped when he saw the two men. He glanced back and forth between them, seeing Tony leaning against the wall still trying to catch his breath. His eyebrow went up. "I see you two have worked things out."

"Where's Tali?" Tony asked taking a deep breath.

"She needed to use the little girl's room and wanted to get her bug collecting kit." Again his gaze danced back and forth between the two men. "I tried to give you plenty of time, but-."

"It's fine." Tony cleared his throat.

"Papa I can't find it."

Senior was about to turn and go help here when Tony shook his head.

"I'll get it. I know right where it is." With a quick look at Gibbs, Tony smiled. "I'll just be a minute."

Gibbs gave a nod then looked over at Senior who was staring at him. "Go ahead, say it or ask whatever you want to ask."

"Do you love him?"

"More than anything."

"Good." Senior took a step closer and put his hand on Gibbs shoulder leaning in and whispering. "I don't know if he told you but it's been over a year." Senior's eyebrows went up. "A year for a DiNozzo man is like seven, like in dog years." He patted Gibbs' shoulder. "I'd go home get some rest and seriously prepare yourself before you unleash that." He paused. "I went three months once…when my wife and I at the time finally hooked up we didn't leave the bedroom for four days." He stepped back. "Just giving you fair warning."

Gibbs' eyebrow went up then he shook his head.

Tony walked back in with Tali holding his hand. He saw the odd look on Gibbs' face and groaned as he looked over at his father. "Did you tell him the Sergio story?"

Senior's brow furrowed. "No, but I-"

"I don't wanna know." Gibbs groaned.

"Will you come get bugs with us?" Tali asked letting go of her dads hand and running over to Gibbs.

Gibbs squatted down and smiled at her. "What kinds of bugs are we getting?"

"Whatever we find." She grabbed his hand and started pulling him.

Standing up he let himself be pulled towards the front door Tony and Senior following behind them. When they reached the door, Senior stopped.

"You three go; I have some things to get done."

"You sure? You don't have too-"

Senior smiled at patted his son's cheek. "I know."

Tony nodded.

"Go have fun we saw lots of bugs while we were there."

"Do you like bugs?" Tali asked as they headed out the front door.

"I do."

"Abba's scared of bugs."

Tony scoffed. "Not all bugs..." He grinned over at Gibbs. "Just the big scary ones."

Gibbs chuckled. "Well I'll help you get the big scary ones and Abba can help with the little ones."

##########

Tali's bug motel as Tony was calling it was full. They had taken pictures of them all, looked them up on the internet. They were all named, cataloged, and Tali was now just sitting on the grass looking at them.

"We should get going it's getting late." Tony looked down at his daughter as the sun was starting to set.

"Okay." Tali replied not looking up from her bugs.

"I have so many bug pictures on my phone if someone saw them they'd think I have a bug fetish." Tony chuckled.

Gibbs smirked as his hand caressed the small of Tony's back. "Something you wanna tell me."

Tony laughed. "No, bugs are definitely not my thing."

Leaning closer, Gibbs whispered in Tony's ear. "I can't wait to find out everything you like…what you want to try, ever fantasy you want fulfilled."

"Gibbs." Tony sighed.

Stepped slightly away, his hand still on the small of Tony's back. Gibbs looked down at Tali "Are we taking our bug friends?"

Tali shook her head. "This is their home." She opened one of the little containers and took out a ladybird beetle. Holding it gently in her hand she took it back over to where they had originally found it, one by one she repeated the process until the little bug motel was empty.

Tony could see the surprise and pride on Gibbs' face. "I think she has some sort of eidetic memory."

"Amazing." Gibbs shook his head.

She walked back over took each of them by the hand. "Okay let's go."

Gibbs chuckled as they started walking back to the apartment.

##########

"Papa look at the bugs!" Tali squealed as she ran into the living room Tony's cell phone in hand.

Senior was sitting on the couch and Tali jumped up into his lap. Opening the phone she tapped on the pictures and a picture of a centipede came up. "Look at all the legs."

Senior's shoulders shook. "I can't believe you touch those things."

Tali laughed and flicked to the next picture telling Senior about the ladybird beetle and started telling him what they had read about it on line.

"I should get going."

The words tickled the shell of Tony's ear and he involuntarily leaned back against the man behind him. "You could stay we could order pizza."

"As much as I would love that." Gibbs let out a slow deep breath. "I think I should go."

Tony turned around and smirked. "Having a hard time controlling yourself."

"Yes." Gibbs voice was low, almost a growl.

Tony bit his lip at the needful tone in Gibbs' voice. "I promise I'll work on us being alone soon."

Gibbs nodded as they just stood there staring at each other a moment.

"Gibbs needs to go." Tony said pulling his gaze from the older man and turning towards Tali and Senior.

Tali jumped down, ran over to Gibbs and he quickly scooper her up. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and hugged him. When she drew back she smiled. "Bye Gibbs." She kissed him on the tip of the nose. "Love you."

Gibbs felt his heart melt. "I love you too." Kissing her on the nose she giggled as he placed her back down and she ran to Senior. Quickly lost in showing Senior her bug pictures. A quick glance at Tony and they walked towards the front door.

Tony was just about to touch the door knob when he was suddenly jerked into Gibbs' arms and his lips devoured in a greedy kiss. There was no gentleness, no pretense of any kind, just the pure unbridled expression of what the kiss would lead to if they were alone. He felt the fingertips dig into the small of his back as his own hands snaked around Gibbs' neck. Then before Tony could protest, Gibbs ripped their lips apart.

Hazy green eyes met steely blue.

"The things I want to do to you." Gibbs hissed.

Tony leaned in and whispered in Gibbs' ear.

Gibbs eyes closed and his mouth parted slightly as the words wormed there way deep into his mind. The hand on Tony's back knotted into his shirt as the guttural growl tore from deep inside the older man. When Gibbs' eyes opened, he was staring back into the hazy green pools.

"Goodnight Jethro." The name dripped seductively from Tony's lips. "I love you."

Gibbs was so mesmerized he didn't even move, didn't say a word as Tony slipped from his arms and slowly walked away.

Locking the door behind him, Gibbs walked into the living room and flopped down onto the couch. He laid there a moment face down before finally rolling over and kicking off his shoes. Staring up at the ceiling, the words Tony had whispered echo in his head over and over. Slowly Gibbs' eyes closed as he listened to the words. When you have your hand wrapped around your cock tonight…and I know you will pretend it's mine and scream my name as you come.

As if obeying, Gibbs had already undone his pants and had his cock in his hand. Stroking over his length he pictured Tony's face, picture Tony sitting on the edge of the couch, Tony's hand wrapped around his cock. Gibbs' back arched as he tightened his grip. God he wanted to come wanted to scream, wanted to scream the name of the man he had wanted and been denied for so long.

Sensing something, someone Gibbs' eyes shot open and he was staring into the familiar green eyes as his hand stopped moving and just held his cock. Tony's eyes darted back and forth between Gibbs' cock and the glazed over blue eyes.

Silently Tony walked towards the couch and sat down on the edge. "Don't stop…I wanna watch."

Gradually, Gibbs' hand started to move again, creating a slow steady pace.

Tony watched with bated breath before finally letting his hand wrap around Gibbs' learning the way Gibbs' liked to be touched. He followed the ups and downs, the slight twists Gibbs made and the barely noticeable squeeze Gibbs gave the head of his cock.

Gibbs removed his hand and let if fall to Tony thigh as he reveled in first taste of Tony's touch. He'd wanted this for so long that it seemed like an impossibility and to now have everything he wanted had him already on edge. "God Tony." Gibbs groaned. "Feels so good." His hips started thrusting up into each downward motion.

"I wanna make you come."

Gibbs' eyes locked on Tony's. "So close." His body started to shake and his fingertips clawed into Tony's thigh as Tony sped up and tightened his grip.

Leaning down, Tony whispered in Gibbs' ear. "Scream my name, the only name that you'll ever scream again."

"Tony!" The name tore through the air as Gibbs suddenly sat up on the couch. His eyes shot open in the darkness of the room…the empty room. His body was covered in a fine layer of sweat, his shirt sticking to his chest and his cock flaccid and sticky with come. He ran his hands down his face. "Son of a bitch." He panted as he fell back on the couch taking hard swallow breathes. Then he suddenly started to laugh. I hadn't had a wet dream since he was a horny teenager to afraid to masturbate at night because his father might hear.
