Gibbs poured a cup of coffee then put the pot back and took a slow long sip of the black liquid. Letting out a sigh he smiled as he felt the hand on his back and the warm lips again his neck. Turning around he stared into the sparkling green eyes as the younger man's arms caress up his chest and around his neck. Gibbs' arm snaked around Tony's body and the man settled against him. "Have a nice shower?"
"It was better when you were in there with me." Tony wiggled his eyebrows.
"I didn't realize you were so flexible." Gibbs smirked.
Laughing, Tony's hands caress up Gibbs chest and around his neck. The laughter quickly faded and Tony sighed. "I have to go."
"I know." Gibbs' lips brushed against Tony's.
"I want to talk to Tali about us."
Gibbs nodded. "I'm here if you need me."
"Thank you." Tony smiled as his fingers caressed the nape of Gibbs' neck.
Putting his coffee cup down on the counter, Gibbs other arm circled around Tony and pulled the younger man even closer. "I want you here, both of you, as soon as you're ready." He wanted to say tomorrow, tonight even but he didn't want to sound demanding.
Tony's lips gently captured Gibbs' in a brief kiss. "I'm ready." He watched as the smile spread across Gibbs' face. It was a smile that Tony had never seen before…one of pure and utter joy and happiness. The arms around him squeezed him tightly.
"I just want you here, anything else you need or want we'll get."
Tony nodded. "I still have almost everything here in storage."
"We can bring it all here if you want."
"God there is so much." Tony groaned.
Gibbs chuckled. "Well whenever you want to deal with that, we will."
Smiling at Gibbs, Tony shook his head.
"What?"
"It's still just so surreal." Tony's lips brushed against Gibbs' cheek then went to the older man's ear. "The want, the need, just gets strong and stronger." He felt the fingertips dig into the small of his back clawing at his flesh. "Like some unquenchable thirst."
A low guttural growl dripped from Gibbs' lips. "Tone."
Drawing back, Tony looked into the dilated blue eyes then he was suddenly grabbed by the hips and shoved backwards.
"Go before I bend you over the counter and take you again." Gibbs growled then ran his hands down his face. Taking a deep breath, he saw the ornery grin on Tony's face and glared at the younger man.
"I'll call you later." The grin never left Tony's face as he turned around to leave.

Shutting the door behind him, Tony turned and saw the little girl barreling towards him.
"Abba." She ran to him.
"Hey sweetheart." Scooping her up, Tony sighed contently when she wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek.
"We saw bugs at the museum. HUGE bugs as big as my head. There was a centipede it was LONG and all these legs and a bug that looked like a leaf and one that looked like a flower and ones that were all colors and big red ants and-" She took a breath. "It was awesome."
Tony couldn't help but laugh. "Sounds like you and Papa had an exciting day."
She nodded as she settled against her father and he carried her towards the living room.
Senior was sitting in the chair and he glanced at his watch. "Didn't expect you home this early."
Ignoring the comment, Tony put Tali down by the couch and she grabbed a book from the coffee table.
"Look." She held the book up to Tony. He smiled and looked at it. It was a picture book of all different bugs. "Papa got it for me." She smiled proudly.
Sitting down on the couch, Tony flipped through the book as she climbed on the couch next to him.
"I saw this one." She said pointing at a centipede she has seen at the museum. He flipped the page. "And this one."
"Wow those are amazing."
She smiled at him. "What did you do today?"
Tony glanced at his father who openly grinned. Rolling his eyes, Tony looked back at Tali. "I spent the day with Gibbs."
"Why didn't I get to go?"
"Well Gibbs and I needed to talk about some things, some adult things."
"Oh." She almost rolled her eyes but stopped.
Tony hid a smile. "And we talked about you."
"Me?" She asked with a curious look.
Tony nodded. "Yes, about how much Gibbs loves having you here and how special you are to him."
"I love Gibbs." She smiled as she folded her legs up Indian style under her.
"So do I, very much."
She cocked her head and looked at her father, sensing something about the tone in his voice. She suddenly knelt beside her father. "You look smiley but sound sad."
"I'm not sad…I'm apprehensive."
Her brow furrowed.
Tony chuckled to himself. Apprehensive not exactly the right word choice. "Um a little scared."
"Why?"
"Because I need to talk to you about something serious, something that affects you."
Senior leaned forward sensing where this was going. "Do you want me to lea-"
"No." Tony shook his head. "You need to hear this too."
Senior nodded and settled back in the chair.
Tony turned back to Tali and smiled brushing a curl from her forehead. "Remember how we talked about some kids have a mommy and a daddy and some have two mommies or two daddies?"
She nodded. "Like Lona."
"Yes, Lona has two mommies." Tony nodded. Lona was a little girl a few years older than Tali that lived in their building back in Paris. "And that it doesn't matter because family is about loving each other and taking care of each other."
Again she nodded.
Tony was trying to figure out the easiest was to say this.
"Are you going to marry Gibbs?"
Senior tried to bite back a laugh but it spilled out and he coughed to try and cover it up.
Tony's eyes went wide. "Um, I don't, we haven't-" He took a deep breath. "Someday probably, but we love each other and we both love you and we want to be a family."
"Is he coming to Paris?" She asked excitement in her voice.
"Well I need to talk to you about that."
"Gibbs can come live with us." She was starting to bounce up and down.
"Gibbs needs to live here, his job is here."
The bouncing stopped and she looked confused.
"But Gibbs wants us to live with him here in DC."
"Here!" She jumped to her feet standing before Tony. "We can stay here!" She was bouncing again.
"Yes as long as you-" Tony let out a huff of air as Tali jumped into his arms hugging him tightly.
"I can see Papa every day!" She proclaimed.
Tony's eyebrow went up. "Maybe not every day."
Senior rolled his eyes.
"And Abby and Tim and Delilah and Jimmy and Ducky and-"
Tony laughed. "You'll get to see everyone." He hugged his daughter again and kissed her forehead.
She pulled back and looked at him. "Why are you scared?"
"Because I want you to be happy and I didn't know if you would want to stay here."
She rolled her eyes. "I love here."
"I'm glad." He touched her nose. "I love here too."
"Do I get my own room?"
"Of course." Tony smiled.
"Can it be pink? And maybe purple?"
"Well we'll talk to Gibbs about all that."
"He'll say yes." She smiled her sweetest smile.
Tony shook his head and chuckled. "Oh Gibbs is so in for it." He doubted Gibbs would ever be able to say no to her.
"Can I have a snake?"
Tony's eyebrow went up. "No."
She cocked her head and looked at him a moment.
"And I've already talked to Gibbs and he said no snakes."
Her shoulders slumped and she sighed.
"And we will have none of that Abba says no so I go ask Gibbs."
She pursed her lips to try and hid a smile.
Senior chuckled. "Does Gibbs really know what he's in for with you two?"
Tony smiled over at Senior. "I hope so."
"Can we go to Gibbs now?" She hopped down off the couch.
"Um we're not leaving right now. We have some things to take care of first."
"What?"
"Well-" Tony stumbled over an explanation. "We need to figure out what we need, pack and Gibbs has to get the house ready first."
She looked at him as if doubting his explanation. "Can I call Gibbs?"
His mouth opened slightly and he looked taken aback. Then he shook his head. "Did I not just say you can't get no from me and then ask Gibbs?"
She rocked back and forth on her heels. "I can ask about my room."
Tony's eyes narrowed. Like that was really all she would ask him about.
"Please Abba." Tali took his hand and danced around. "Please, pretty please."
He knew he'd give in. He didn't care what she asked Gibbs. His relief at her being okay with everything was all that mattered. "You can call Gibbs-" Her excitement grew. "But one thing first."
She stopped dancing.
He took her hands and pulled her close. "Do you have any questions about anything?"
"What about my stuff in Paris?"
"We'll figure out how to get it here, but there will probably be some things we won't bring here."
"Are you sad we're not going back to Paris?"
He opened his mouth to answer then paused. His first thought was to give some long answer about how he loved Paris, but he loved DC too. He was going to go on and on, but when he looked at his daughter he realized she didn't need an explanation. "No."
She gave him that all too familiar million watt smile then leaned in and kissed his nose. "You're smiley Abba, you're happy."
He kissed her nose. "The only time I was ever happier was when you came into my life."
She giggled and started to sway back and forth.
He chuckled. "Okay." Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his phone and handed it to her. She took it and ran off towards the spare bedroom. Settling back into the couch, Tony breathed a sigh of relief then looked over at Senior. "That was nothing like the conversation I expected to have with her."
"Kids are more perceptive than we realize…she could see how you two felt about each other." Senior smirked. "Hell even I could see."
"She's just so accepting, doesn't even faze her." Tony shook his head. "If only everyone had that child- like acceptance the world would be a much better place."
"She's never seen you with anyone, so to her it truly doesn't matter and it shouldn't." Senior shrugged. "She's just happy that you're happy and I'm happy for you, all three of you."
"It still seems so unreal." Tony rubbed his forehead. "It's all happening so fast."
"And you're okay with that?" Senior looked worried.
Tony leaned forward putting his elbows on his knees and looked at his father. "I didn't want to leave Gibbs, but I missed Tali…it's like half my heart is with him and half here with her…and when Tali said she wanted to go to Gibbs' right now I almost said okay let's go." Tony smiled warmly. "So yes I'm absolutely okay with it."
Standing up, Senior walked over and dropped down beside Tony. He patted his son's knee. "All I've ever wanted is for you to find someone that would love you as much as you love them and you and Gibbs love each other." Senior smiled. "And I'm thrilled I get to see my granddaughter-often." He smirked at Tony. "Not every day, but as often as possible."
"You're a big part of the reason she loves it here."
"She makes me a better person." Senior sighed. "Although it doesn't make up for my mistakes."
"Dad-" Tony cut in. "I know. It's okay."
Senior cleared his throat swallowing the emotion as he suddenly turned serious. "Although I would like to talk to Gibbs about why he's fine with moving my son and granddaughter in but there's been no discussion of marriage."
"Dad." Tony groaned. "Seriously you're going to start with that already?"
"What?" Senior scoffed. "He's been in love with you for decades why shouldn't you get married."
Tony dropped his head back on the couch. "Can we just get moved and settled before you start harping on Gibbs about marriage?"
Senior shrugged. "We'll see."

Gibbs felt the phone in his pocket vibrate and he stopped at the top of the attic steps. Putting the box he was carrying down, he pulled out his phone and looked at the caller id. Smiling, he flipped open the phone. "It's only been an hour and-" He glanced at his watch. "Forty-three minutes."
"Gibbs." The soft little voice said his name.
"Tali I thought it was Abba." Gibbs heart stopped as worry set in. "Is everything okay?" The worry instantly faded as she broke out into a string of excited statements and questions.
"Abba says we're living with you." She said then took a deep breath. "Can my room be pink and purple? I need a bed. Can we build a bird house? I have lots of clothes. Can I have a snake? Can I come over now? EG wants to come too."
Gibbs started to laugh as the relief and happiness washed over him. "Your room can be any colors you want and we'll get you a bed and build all kinds of bird houses. No snake and you'll come over soon, you, EG and Abba." He answered her back with just as much excitement.
"But I wanna come now."
"I'm getting everything ready." He sighed wistfully. "Believe me I want you and Abba here as soon as possible, but it won't be long."
"Tomorrow?"
Chuckling, Gibbs shook his head. "I'm not sure, but you, me and Abba will have dinner tomorrow okay."
"Okay at your house."
"I need to take to Abba."
"He's talking to Papa." There was a pause. "I went to the museum and saw all the bugs. One looked like a leaf and flower and there was a centipede that had sooooo many legs."
Smiling, Gibbs sat down on the top step and just listened as she rambled on about her day. He would laugh say a few words but he just let her talk, enchanted by the wonder that she expressed. How long she talked he had no idea although eventually he heard Tony's voice in the background.
"I have to get ready for bed." She paused. "And Abba wants to talk to you."
"Okay, good night, sleep tight."
"And don't let the bed bugs bit." She giggled. "Night Gibbs, love you."
"I love you too sweetie." He could hear the muffled exchange as she handed the phone off.
"She's a little excited."
Gibbs felt his stomach flutter at the sound of Tony's voice. "I'm excited too."
"Did she beg you to let her come over tonight?"
"She asked, didn't exactly beg."
"It was hard to say no when she asked me."
Gibbs could hear the ache in Tony's voice. "But I understand why you did."
Tony chuckled. "Good then can you explain it to me."
There was a paused and then Gibbs took a heavy breath. "Because right now the ache and the need is still all consuming." He swallowed hard. "And right now all I can think about is making love to you and hearing you scream over and over again."
"Jethro." The name dripped from Tony's lip in a needy sigh.
"And if you were here, I wouldn't have the strength or will power to control myself right now."
"And you think you'll have that under control soon?"
"Better than I do at this moment." Gibbs ran his hand down his face. "Dinner tomorrow after work, somewhere besides the diner, with Tali."
"But not at the house?"
"If you come to the house she'll want to stay." Gibbs paused. "Is that what you want? For the two of you to stay tomorrow?"
"Yes." There was a hunger in Tony's voice.
Gibbs felt the ache knot in his stomach. "If you stay…I'm not sure I'll be able to let you go the next night."
"I don't wanna wait. You and Tali are all I need and I need you both under the same roof because it hurts being away from either of you."
"Pack what you both absolutely need and come here tomorrow whenever you want, or I'll pick you up after work." There was an edgy intensity to Gibbs' voice. "Just tell me what I need to do to make it happen and I'll do it."
"I want new sheets for the bed."
The odd request broke the intensity and Gibbs' brow furrowed. "New sheets?"
"Yes, new sheets. Those ones you have felt like sand paper."
Gibbs broke out in a hearty laugh. "That's what it takes?"
"Right at this moment, yes." Tony followed Gibbs into the laughter.
"The finest Egyptian cotton I can find, I promise." There was a moment of silence as their laughter faded.
"I love you Gibbs."
"I love you Tony, more than anything or anyone." Gibbs paused. "Good night."
"Night."
The phone went dead and Gibbs closed it and shoved it back in his pocket. He ran his hands down his face and took a couple slow deep breaths. Tomorrow. A quick glance at his watch and Gibbs shot up and ran down the steps. He wouldn't get as much done as he planned, but he could at least get a couple important things done.
##########
Tony sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled the blanket up over Tali's chest. "Did you have a good talk with Gibbs?"
She nodded. "Dinner tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Are we staying there?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"When can we go over?"
"Gibbs has to work, so we'll see."
"We can go over early and surprise him."
"You need to get some sleep and we'll talk about all of this in the morning." He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "I love you."
"Love you more." She smiled sleepily as her eyes started to flutter closed.
He shook his head as his daughter drifted off to sleep. "Sweet dreams." He kissed her forehead and quietly got up and left the room. Walking out into the living room Senior was standing by the dining room table.
"You need to eat." Senior had a plate sitting on the table.
"I actually did eat today."
"Well you could stand to eat again."
Tony made his way to the table. "You went to Graffiato." On the plate was a huge sandwich, the Italian Hero, Tony's favorite. "Thanks." Sitting down, he picked up half the sandwich and took a bite, before he knew it one half was gone and it was picking up the other half.
Senior watched with eyebrow raised. "Are you positive you ate?"
Tony rolled his eyes.
"Need to keep up that strength." Senior winked.
Tony sighed as he put the sandwich down. "We're staying there tomorrow."
Senior's eyebrow went up. "Staying or moving in?"
"Moving in."
Senior picked up his drink and took a sip. "I'm surprised you're not already packing everything and heading out the door tonight."
"I almost did, but right now I need some sleep."
"And you think you're going to be able to sleep tonight?" Senior smirked.
"I don't know. I just-" Tony stopped and ran his hands down his face. "Gibbs was right…it's this unquenchable want and need that I can't control."
"Love does that to you, plus denying the feelings you had for each other for years has to add fuel to the fire." Senior took a quick sip of his drink. "And you, a year without it…I'm surprise you're even conscious."
Tony rolled his eyes.
"Finish your sandwich then try and get some sleep." Senior stood up. "I'm going to read for a while." He made his way into the living room
Looking down at the sandwich, Tony picked it up and finished it off then just sat there staring at the wall across from him.

Walking out of the bathroom in his boxers, Gibbs glanced at the door to the second bedroom that was slightly ajar. As he walked by he closed it all the way then made his way back to his bedroom. He stepped in and stopped staring at the bed as if it were some completely foreign object. After talking to Tali and Tony, he went to the store and among the things he bought were the new sheets, pillows, and a comforter. The sheets were the highest thread count he could find in a deep green…a green almost the color of Tony's eyes. The comforter matched the sheets and all he could think about was Tony naked in the sea of green. Shaking his head he tried to remove the image from his mind, but it didn't work. The minute he glanced back at the bed he envisioned them tangled in the blanket locked in a lovers embrace.
Sleep on the couch. That's what he told himself, not that he would sleep, even though he was physically exhausted, his mind was too preoccupied to allow him any peace. He had to try. Deciding on the comfort of the bed, he climbed under the comforter and settled back. Shifting slightly he felt the softness of the sheets and chuckled. Tony was right his old sheets felt like sandpaper compared to the silk like softness of the new sheets. Trying to smash the pillow down slightly, Gibbs put his arm under his head and stared up at the ceiling. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He didn't bother turning off the light because he knew he'd just end up turning it on again.
A few minutes later Gibbs opened his eyes and glanced over at the clock on the nightstand. 10:45. He groaned. God it was going to be a long night. Closing his eyes again he took slow even breathes hoping it would have some kind of calming effect on him. Rubbing his hands down his face, he groaned and sat up and leaned his head back against the headboard. Normally he would go to the basement and work on the boat, but he knew the boat would only make it worse. He'd had so many fantasies about taking Tony against the boat, across the sawhorses, on the work bench, and any other hard surface in the basement that he knew that was all he would think about. Maybe he should go to the diner, sit and drink coffee all night until it was time for work…it wouldn't be the first time he'd done it. He was just about to push aside the comforter when he heard the sound from down stairs…the front door had opened and he quickly heard it close. A second later the quiet footsteps started up the steps.
Gibbs felt his stomach flutter and his heart start to beat erratically. He knew who it was…knew by the sound of the footsteps and by the familiar scent that was the man he loved.
Tony stepped into the doorway, pausing before he actually entered the room. "I couldn't sleep."
"Me either." Gibbs sighed breathlessly.
Walking into the room, Tony stopped at the edge of the bed and sat down next to Gibbs. "My stomach actually ached from wanting you so much."
Gibbs swallowed the lump in his throat as he admitted something he never thought he would. "When you left the basement that day and I knew you were leaving for good…it hurt to breath and nothing would make it stop."
Tony's hand gently cupped Gibbs' face and he leaned in brushing his lips against the older man's. He wanted the kiss to be tender, loving, but the need, the want was too much and Tony devoured Gibbs' lips with a wanton need. It didn't end until they were both breathless.
Gibbs' eyes skimmed down Tony's body then came up and locked on the green eyes. "Take off your clothes." He said it then leaned back, waiting with anticipation to see the naked body before him.
Pulling the shirt off over his head, Tony dropped it to the floor then slipped off his shoes and socks. Popping the button on his jeans, he slid the zipper down and paused was he saw the way Gibbs was watching him. Slowly he pushed the jeans off his hips and let them pool at his feet then stepped out of them standing naked before Gibbs.
Throwing back the cover, Gibbs put his hand out to Tony.
Shaking his head, Tony glanced down at Gibbs' boxer shorts then up into the blue eyes. "Take those off."
Gibbs lifted his hips and slipped off the boxers and tossed them to the floor.
Tony's eyes were immediately drawn to Gibbs' already hard cock, his own cock twitting in response.
Gibbs put his hand out again and this time Tony took it crawling onto Gibbs' body. He bit back a moan as Tony settled in his lap and his hands caressed up the younger man's back. His lips captured Tony's as his hands pressed hard on Tony's back crushing their upper bodies together.
Tony moaned into the kiss. The closeness still didn't satiate the endless hunger, he needed more. Tearing his lips from the older man, Tony stared into the lust filled eyes for a moment before reaching over and opening the bedside stand. Grabbing the small bottle from the drawer, Tony popped the cap. "Give me your hand."
Gibbs obeyed, holding out his right hand and Tony squeezed some of the lube onto his fingers and Gibbs rubbed his fingers together.
Putting the bottle on the night stand, Tony raised up slightly and Gibbs' hand slipped between them.
Gibbs' focused on Tony's face, watched the green eyes flutter closed as he gently worked a finger into the tight ring.
Tony's hands caressed up Gibbs' chest and around his neck, his hand combing through the silver locks and he purred. "More." Tony sighed as Gibbs added another finger scissoring them inside him.
Gibbs' mouth went dry and he licked his lips as Tony's hips started to rock back and forth at first then moved up and down taking the digits as deep as possible. "Open your eyes." The words came out as a desperate plea not the command he had intended it to be.
It didn't matter, Tony's eyes slowly opened and he gazed into the almost black eyes, eyes filled with a mixture of love and lust. His tongue flicked out licking at Gibbs' lips. "You love seeing what you do to me…how turned on I get."
Gibbs growled as he shoved his fingers in deeper eliciting a guttural groan from the younger man.
"Did you fantasize about this?" Tony purred. "Me lying on the bed fucking myself, stroking my cock while you just watched." Tony's other hand slid down Gibbs' chest and he wrapped his hand around his own cock slowly stroking over its length. "Then seeing me come just from thinking about you fucking me…screaming your name, begging for more."
An animalistic howl ripped through the room as Gibbs jerked his fingers from the younger man causing Tony to whimper with loss. Rubbing the remains of the lube over his cock, Gibbs pressed his cock against the still tight ring. A slight jab upward and the head of his cock breeched Tony and the younger man's head fell forward, their foreheads touching as Tony's hand knotted in Gibbs hair, the other still stroking over his cock. Gibbs' hands clawed up Tony's back, tearing at the flesh. "Did you do that when you stayed here all those nights...fuck yourself in my bed, hoping praying I would walk in and find you?"
"Yes." The word came out in a jagged breath as he pressed down taking more of Gibbs' cock. "Sleeping in your bed, the scent of you all around me…I couldn't stop myself."
Gibbs thrust upward as his hands on Tony's back pushed downward.
A string of incomprehensible words and sounds fell from Tony's lips as his mouth fell open and his head went back. His body trembled as the pleasurable pain surged through his body as he was impaled on Gibbs' cock. He abandoned his own cock, his hand clutched desperately at Gibbs' ribcage searching for stability as the world swirled around him.
Gibbs' lips went to Tony's exposed throat, biting down with brutal force on Tony's jugular feeling the pulsing blood beneath his teeth. It was vampiric, Gibbs wanting nothing more than to taste blood. His fingertips bore deeper into the tender flesh of Tony's back, the muscles contracting under the assault. He couldn't stop he wanted to claw and bite his way inside the younger man wanted to believe they could become one person. Their bodies were crushed together, Gibbs hips making quick thrusts upward as Tony rocked his hips.
Tony's breathe came in short quick burst as the release beckoned. His cock wedged between their stomachs was rubbed in rhythm with Gibbs' thrust, the cock inside him making contact with his prostate and causing his body to shudder.
Ripping his teeth from Tony's throat, Gibbs growled as he thrust harder and faster into the younger man. Tony's head fell forward putting them cheek to cheek. Gibbs' lips brushed against Tony's ear. "Come for me." Gibbs hissed feeling the body against him already trembling.
Another scream pierced the air around them as Tony came clutching at the man against him.
Gibbs was so close the muscle tightened around his cock and his eyes rolled back as the world shattered around him. He thought he screamed, but he wasn't sure all he knew is he came falling hard and fast into the abyss. His body crumbled back against the headboard Tony still locked in his embrace.
