Trust I seek and I find in you
Everyday for of something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Tony slowly opened his eyes to find the bed empty. First there was panic rushing through him. Could Gibbs be gone? Could he just have walked away without saying good bye or without giving him a reason?
But then it came to his mind that this was Gibbs‘ house. If the ex-Marine would leave him he wouldn't go without an explanation.
He heard noise from the kitchen. Without waiting too long he stood up and went down after putting on his boxers. Anger was rising in his chest and threat to take his breath, somehow he couldn't think that Gibbs would stay, that this was for real, forever.
When he entered the kitchen he didn't even bothered to wait for Gibbs to notice him.
„You couldn't wait to get out of that bed, did you?"
Gibbs turned surprised to him a pan in his hand.
„Excuse me?"
He put the baken eggs on a plate, then he turned his full attention to his lover.
„So, what are you going to say? That you were drunk? That you were out of your mind? What? I'm very curious!"
Gibbs seemed to get angry himself. He took a deep breath.
„I really don't know what you are talking about! I just got down to make breakfast!"
„Yeah, sure!"
Gibbs‘ anger turned into concern.
„Are you looking for a way out of this, Tony?"
„Me?"
„Yes, you, Tony! I want to make breakfast and you're yelling at me! If you're trying to put up a fight you can quit it right now!"
„I'm not putting up anything!"
Tony's voice became more quietly, nothing more than a whisper.
„I thought you want to get rid of me!"
„Hell, Tony! I said I love you! If you can't trust me..."
„I trust you! I trust you with my life!"
„That's not what I meant! I want you to trust me with your heart!"
Tony nodded but looked onto the floor. Gibbs cupped his face into his hands and forced him to eye contact.
„I love you. And I trust you with anything! With my life and my heart!"
Tony said slowly. Gibbs smiled and kissed his lover.
Trust I seek and I find in you.
The days went by and both men had after work neither the head nor the strengh for more than a casual blow job or a quick fuck. This case was still a hard one even after Gibbs‘ breakneck try to solve it.
But tonight Gibbs had big plans. No matter how tired he or Tony were tonight would be a night to remember.
It just happened that they solved the case and could go early.
„My place. 2100!"
Gibbs said while a short ride in the elevator just before the doors opened with a „ding" so Tony couldn't answer or contradict him.
At 1900 he left the office. Tony had sent him a message why he couldn't get there right after work but Gibbs had only answered that he had some things to do and that it would be too risky for Tony to come with him in public.
He went to his car and drove to his usual grocery store.
With three bags he entered his house at 1930. He was a Marine, he was fast.
At 2030 two of the bags were emptied and Gibbs had changed their contents into a delicious dinner.
He went to the wardrobe under the stairs and pulled out the cooling box and took it up to the master bedroom.
He blugged it in and took the thirt bag to his side pulling out every item and putting it away.
Whipped cream. Caramel, chocolate, strawberry sauce. Different kinds of crumble mixtures. Bourbon and champagne. All these he put into the box and closed it. Then he reached into the bag again. Lube and condoms, five different tastes, not that they didn't have some but not with nops.
He opened the bottom drawer of his nightstand, his toys. No need for the dildo today, that'll do another night, but the leather cuffs and the bandera was lying there waiting for teaching Tony a lesson.
It was 2100 on the nose when Gibbs heard his front door shut. He smiled to himself, knowing that Tony had surely waited at least ten minutes just outside the door for the time to pass.
They ate dinner in mere silence. Once or twice Tony said how good it was but the exhaustion of the case kept him from putting up a real conversation and that really wasn't Gibbs‘ field.
Besides he had enough to do with the try to hide his grin about the coming.
At 2145 Gibbs took the plates and lead Tony into the bedroom.
Tony immidiatly head to his side but stopped in his track.
„What's that?"
He asked pointing at the cooling box but in that moment he noticed the cuffs and the bandera and a wicked grin formed on his face.
„Strip."
Gibbs ordered and Tony made no sign to complain and followed the instructions.
Everyday for of something new.
Tony woke up with a huge smile on his face and the faint taste of the sweet items, salty come, a mix of his own and Gibbs‘, and alcohol on his tongue. As usual the bed next to him was empty, but he was used to that by now. Gibbs was a earlyriser. Nothing to worry about.
For two months their relationship was going and yet it was more intense then any other in Gibbs‘ or Tony's life before. Every night they spent together and their work relationship had changed, too. Not that it was obvious but actions had gotten different meanings. The headslaps were a sign of affection just as the barks or the glares, Tony knew that now. Tony's flirting had become a tease for Gibbs, well, it always was but now it was voluntary.
Gibbs‘ life had changed completely. He had barely touched his boats in the last two months, maybe twice a week, mostly on the weekend when Tony was working out or something. He let Tony talking him into a new entertainment centre, TV, DVD, Video...
He had never thought he would ever let somebody turn his life up side down, he hadn't let any of his ex-wives do that, but he wouldn't change a bit.
Open mind for a different view.
Pretty soon Tony had more or less settled in his house and the two lifes of the men became one.
And nothing else matters.
