A/N: Spoilers for 'Jeopardy.' Probably not my best, but, it just came to me.
The two lovers walked onto the plane together, hand-in-hand, heart-in-heart. A man, tall and sturdy, with gray hair and crystal blue eyes, led his companion to the back of the plane. His companion, a redhead with emerald green eyes and an hourglass-shape figure, followed him obediently. Before they sat, they kissed passionately for a few moments, then sat in peace. The woman sat her hand on the armrest, and the man laid his hand on top of hers. They smiled at each other, then turned their looks away from each other. They thought endlessly… mainly about what had happened over the past few weeks. On a foreign op. in France, they fell in love over a faked kiss.
The woman thought about how this would affect her future. She wanted to be successful, but she also wanted a family. She would agree to wait though, just as long as this man was still there for her to claim.
The man thought about how he had come to love someone so quickly. The only woman he had come to love any quicker was… the only woman it pained him to think about. If he really did love her, he hoped she would love him that much as well.
They quickly ended their slightly depressing thoughts, looked at each other, and kissed once more. The rest of their ride back to the states was silent.
By the end of the trip, she ended up halfway in his arms, sleeping. Once the plane landed, he gently shook her. He watched her beautiful face as she woke, then gently kissed her cheek. She giggled, sat up, and yawned. "Good morning Jethro. How was your night?"
"Good. Quiet." The two got up and gathered their carrions, while also continuing their small-talk conversation. As they were about leave, Jethro gently grabbed her cheek and kissed her.
"I love you Shannon."
The woman looked at him, disgusted. "What?" Jethro thought over his last few words, and within seconds, he was apologizing. "Oh, Jen, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Jen rolled her eyes. "No need for apologies, Gibbs. We need to part our ways anyhow." She turned and left out the door, and Jethro just stood there.
Shannon was no longer the only one it would ever pain him to think about.
