The sun was slowly setting in the distance, the warm glow of the fading rays were falling over the two figures who sat cuddled together on the swinging seat. Tony slowly began to move, turning so that he could face Jethro but making sure he didn’t break the contact between them.

Tony stared in Jethro’s eyes for a couple of minutes and then started laughing.

“What’s so funny” Gibbs asked his lover.

“I was just thinking about how lucky I am to be sitting here right now, with you holding my hands.”

“I’m the lucky one, Tony. I love you with the whole of my heart and hope you never forget that”.

Tony smiled and kept on looking straight into Jethro’s eyes.

“I love you too Jethro. I love everything about you, your eyes, your hair, your lips, nose, hands, and the way you walk and work on your boat. You have an amazing smile and you are the kindest, most lovable bastard I know.”

That last part made them both laugh. As they leaned in together and met in a passionate kiss they both knew that their future would be lived together and nothing could ever separate them.
