A/N: Another JIBBS oneshot, tag to Kill Ari part 1 3x1. Set on the steps of Jethro's basement steps when he asks Jen if she's ever doubted him. I hope you enjoy, Angels.
"Have you ever doubted me?" He asks. Jenny looks at him, her green eyes meeting his icy blue ones.
"Professionally? Never." She answers him. Jethro narrows his eyes.
"What does that mean?" He questions.
Jenny sighs but doesn't answer.
"Jen." He growls at her. Jenny swallows a lump in her throat.
"The night I told you that I loved you in Paris, you said 'that'll be the day.' Do you know what they felt like, Jethro? I told you that I loved you and you mocked me for it. I told you I loved you and you never said it back, you just said 'that'll be the day' like my declaration of love meant nothing to you." Jenny says as tears fill her emerald green eyes. Every time she remembers that night in Paris, she always remembers how he just chuckled and said that sentence, it felt like he was firing a gun into her heart except the wound wasn't visible to anyone except her. Jethro looks at her.
"You doubted my love for you?" He asks incredulously. Jenny nods. "Yes, Jethro, I've spent the last six years doubting if you really loved me or if you really loved all the sex we had." She snaps at him quietly. The last six years have been hell for her. "Jen, look at me." When she doesn't, a calloused hand lifts her green eyes to meet his icy blue ones. There's an emotion in his blue eyes that she's never seen before: love.
"Jen, I love you, I've always loved you even when I didn't say it. I've loved you for the past six years, I love you now, right here." He says quietly before kissing her for the first time in six years. Jenny locks her arms around his neck, toying with his hair while his arms snake around her waist, pulling her closer to him. They pull away from each other when air is needed. Jethro looks at her. "Don't ever doubt my love for you, Jen." Jethro tells her as his hand slips into hers, leading her up the stairs and out of the house, back to the Navy Yard.
Jenny sighs as she lays her head on his chest, sighing in contentment. A kiss is dropped on her hair. "I love you, Jen." Jethro says as he drapes an arm around her waist. Jenny smiles. It's only two days since she heard those words coming out of his mouth and she's yet to become tired of hearing them, she doubts that she'll ever be tired of hearing him say that he loves her.
"I love you too, Jethro." She whispers as her eyes slowly close.
"Sleep, Jen, I'll be here when you wake up, I love you." Is the last thing the former Field Agent and now present Director hears from the love of her life.
