Authors Note: Thank you guys for reviews and sticking with the energizer bunny of stories… to explain how this started….This is what happens when you're reading NCIS Fanfiction and your son takes over the TV to watch Ultra Violet. You suddenly wonder what would happen if Tony became a hemophages and because you have an addiction to erotica, you decide to throw in the whole sex when feeding side effect. I know its AU but it's so damn fun

I set up a forum (lol not a community) so everyone can post questions and what not and I can answer them. I liked being able to answer the questions in the reviews but you only get to either private message the sender or post once per chapter.

I hope you will join it and share your comments and ideas.

Hours later Tony woke up with a hand playing in his hair, trying to not wake up fully he nuzzled into the hand. "Shhh sleep just sleep."

Jethro watched his vampire sleep; he had watched him for a couple hours. He hoped he wouldn't but he knew he would. He had dreamed about Shannon, dreamed that she was there with them, sitting in the chair across the room. She had smiled when he saw her; she placed a finger to her lips. Jethro dreamed he blinked a few times before she stood up and glided across the room to him. She whispered into his ear, "I am glad you are happy. Kelly likes him, she likes that he can make you laugh despite how sad and bitter you try to be. I like him because he showed you there is still something to live for and I love him for showing you that you can still love. Keep him safe Jethro keep him safe."

When he was sure he was awake, he cried softly. Jethro didn't cry often and always he was alone. This time Tony was there with him but he was still alone because Tony was asleep. He hoped Shannon and Kelly really were happy for them. He felt Tony shift on the bed he started brushing his hair with his hand in an attempt to keep the man asleep. He would have to give this up soon enough, Tony would be hungry and he would have to let Ziva come and take his place but he really didn't want to move.

"Shhh sleep just sleep."

~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~

When Tony came awake, the next time his head hurt and his vision was blurry, he couldn't make out the clock on the nightstand. "Jet," he tried to whisper, "Jet."

"Tony." He thought he heard Ziva say his name, his head hurt so bad.

"Oh dear I am sorry Tony. I overslept I should have been here an hour ago."

"It's okay Ziva. I just woke up, what time is it? I can't see the clock." Tony rasped out.

"It is 11 am."

"Oh hell."

"Yes more than 16 hours is not very good for you."

"Where is Jethro?" Tony asked.

"He is downstairs pacing, he woke up about five minutes before I arrived. He is very worried Tony."

"I bet, not to be pushy or anything but um can we stop taking?"

"Yes."

Tony moaned when he felt the bed dip, then again when he felt Ziva crawl over the top of him. He heard her say, "Can you drink, or do you need help?"

"Just come down to me, I don't think I can sit up."

He smelt her skin before he could see it, when he felt it touch his lips he couldn't help but shiver as his teeth shifted and he bit her when she gasped he was affair he had hurt her but then the moan followed and he knew they were okay.

"Yes Tony oh yes so very nice." he heard Ziva exclaim, Tim was not the only vocal one of his little group, knowing Ziva was a little stronger than the rest of the group he drank a little more than his usual. He always held back to afraid of taking too much. He released her and they both came with shouts.

A few minutes later he heard, "Yes much better than when I came in."

"Sorry." Tony said sitting up.

It was not your fault Tony. It is I who should be apologizing, I over slept. My lights went out in my apartment and I did not wake up as I normal would have.

"It's okay Ziva no harm no fowl."

"There was harm Tony, do you think the owners of the house would let us um rent the house from them until the papers are signed I do not like this having to look for you."

"You'd still have to look for me Ziva that house is huge."

"Yes but it would a few rooms not an entire city."

"Yeah true come on I'm hungry for food and I bet Jethro is worried grumpy."

"That is not the way that saying goes," Ziva said, "I may not get them right but I know if one is wrong. She said picking up her shirt with a raised eyebrow.

"Your right the term is worried silly but Gibbs would never be silly."

"No he would not."

Pulling on her pants Ziva stopped turned to Tony and said his name.

"Yeah Ziva?" Tony was still a little shaky he leaned against the doorframe.

"Do you love him?"

"Huh?"

"I did not stutter or miss say it do you love him?"

Tony swallowed the emotions down and nodded not trusting his voice.

"Does he love you?"

Again not trusting himself, he nodded.

"Good then I do not have to be worried silly about you two hurting each other by being blind." With that, Ziva walked out of the room. Tony could only stare at the blank space where she had been.

~~~~~*****~~~~~~~

Gibbs was worried; Tony had been up there a long time. Ziva came down almost twenty minutes ago. Maybe last night wasn't what he thought it was maybe Tony was regretting what was said and what was done Jethro knew he was one of the most confidant men when it came to two things work and his boat anything else and it was all bravado a mask like he knew Tony used. Maybe it was a mask last night

Not knowing what to do with himself Gibbs went to the basement and looked at the Kelly. Dream Shannon said that Kelly liked Tony because she made him laugh but would his daughter really have liked him. Gibbs thought she would have he would have been the uncle type the kind to spoil a kid rotten take them to amusement parks and kids movies. He would be the kind of guy to know what would be the coolest present for Christmas or birthday.

Gibbs, lost in his own world, didn't hear Tony come down the stairs.

Tony found his lover where he had the night before in the basement he watched the man, there were several emotions playing across his face, few Tony could identify. Not wanting to startle the man Tony quietly descended the rest of the stairs watching Jethro with every step he took Tony's heart clenched when he saw tears streak down the man's face. Stepping in front of the older marine Tony lifted his hand and said, "Jethro," softly, "Jethro are you ok?" he touched the man face. Jethro let out a sobbing breath and all but crumpled to the floor, "Don't leave me Tony. Please if you're here to say that last night never happened, just kill me because I can't lose another person. I won't be able to live through it this time." Tony blinked in surprise at the crying man in his arms where was his strong boss where was the man who held the team together. This was almost like Gibbs after the coma.

"I'm not leaving, Jet why would you think I was leaving? Where would I go, you have become my world, I want to say my whole world but I can't because of this other mess."

"Just don't go, Tony promise me you won't go with her."

Tony was confused he didn't know who her was but he said, "I won't go I'm not going anywhere I'm right here."

Jethro knew he was scaring Tony, he knew he would never be able to fully explain what was going on right now but hearing Tony say he would be there helped more than Jethro wanted to admit. Crying himself out for a second time in a day was exhausting and Jethro fell asleep in Tony's arms.

"Jet, hey Jet you need to wake up. Jethro," he heard his name calling him to the surface, "you're gonna make me do it aren't you?" Jethro felt himself being shifted but couldn't come all the awake. Even after years of combat and training, he could pull himself out of the sleep he was in. When he did finally wake up, Jethro found he was in his bed and Tony was curled around him protectively, "are you really awake this time?" Tony asked.

"Have I been awake before?"

"Four times so far, I think you're awake and you say something and your back out."

"What did I say Jethro asked?"

"Well to start with you made me promise not to go with her but I'm not sure who she is? Then you asked where Abby-cat was is there something Abby needs to be telling me?"

Jethro blinked, "No I don't think so, I had a dream that she could turn into a cat when she's scared."

"Okay well talk about that particular thought later, then you wanted to know why you had to wake up, it was summer and there was no school mom." Jethro's face turned red. "And finally you wanted to know why I wouldn't turn you so that we could be together."

Jethro rolled onto his side, his back facing Tony, was he really being such a girl?

"What's going on Jet in the years we've worked together I've never seen you like this not even after your coma I sat and watched you every night."

Jethro rolled onto his back, "You did?"

"Yeah I told you I had a man crush on you."

"Think we have moved past crush haven't we?" Jethro asked.

Tony looked down to where Jethro was idly drawing a circle on his arm he placed a hand on Jethro's "What is wrong?"

Swallowing, Jethro spoke barley over a whisper, "You said last night you said I would be the death of you."

Tony's brow furrowed, "I, oh, I didn't mean for real, Jet I it felt so good."

"I know but when I finally feel asleep later I, I dreamt of Shannon."

"Oh Jethro I'm sorry I know you loved her."

"No yes," sighing, "she said she was happy I had found someone." Jethro shrugged, "I want to be happy, I, if I had you both before me I wouldn't be able to choose not now. I," shuddering, "she said Kelly liked you because you made me laugh and smile. She said to keep you safe; I woke up crying, I haven't cried in years Tony, not since their funeral. I…"

"Jethro its okay, you don't have to talk about them if you don't want to."

"I sat there crying watching you sleep and I knew I can't keep you safe, Tony I, you will lose me someday."

"Not for years, Jet we have time, who knows maybe I'm not like the hemophages maybe I do age the same."

Jethro snorted, "Tony I'm still 14 years your senior even if you age normally, you're still going to lose me."

"When we get to that point, we get to that point." Tony stroked Jethro's arm, it felt natural for him to do what he had stopped jet from doing earlier. But then he had been the touchy feely kind, not his Gibbs, no his Jet. "So is that what had you so spaced out in the basement?"

"Yeah sort of I got to thinking about if Kelly had met you if she would have liked you."

"Oh." Tony wasn't sure how to respond to that.

"I think she would have she would have thought you were the coolest uncle you would have been her best grownup friend."

"And that's what we would have been, friends." Tony said.

"I miss her so much Tony but I have been without her longer than I ever had her. A year ago, I would have traded damn near anything to be with her one more time. But now, now I just…"

"It's ok Jethro I understand."

Jethro shook himself and sniffed, "Damn it what the hell is going on, why am I suddenly emotional?"

"Stress, maybe you should have ducky look you over? Do a full work up or something. Between this thing and house hunting and the job, we probably are all stressed and one of us is going to snap. If your snap is to cry after having a dream about your wife then we're good." Tony said, running a hand over Jethro's stomach.

"Maybe, I'll talk to him about it."

"Good now can we eat I was hungry before your little nap."

"Damn it I thought you and Ziva…"

"Jethro for food remember I eat both."

"Yeah alright come on."
