[ncis] a true bit of... truth
So, I wrote more on my deaf!Tony fic - but I'm worried. We're definitely slipping into humor here... >_> Poor Gibbs, having a crisis.
But then, who's to say what I'm trying to sell you as insight is un-Gibbs-y? He might think just like that!
HAH, so there:
He didn't really need Tony DiNozzo either, but just maybe, he thought, catching a glimpse of the man again wouldn't be half bad.
His wish got fulfilled one day when he had to stop at the mall supermarket to get a bottle of ketchup he had forgotten to buy on his grocery run the night before. Running late, with his daughter expected home any minute, he was in a hurry. He almost kicked an old lady out of his way, took the corners tightly, got the ketchup, charmed his way to the front of the line, paid, left the 2 cents extra with the cashier, hurried outside, across the parking lot and jumped into his car. He reversed, got an angry honk from a car behind him, started forward - and almost ran over a black dog. He jumped on the brakes, winced when the dog barked at him angrily and ducked his head when Tony came out from behind a car, laden with a bag of groceries. He saw Tony react to Elisha's upset behavior and waved when he was recognized. Tony smiled and flapped one of the hands that were clutching the brown paper bag, indicating he would have waved back if he had been able to. Gibbs returned the easy smile with a charming one of his own and waited patiently until the two had crossed the way before he sped on. He could have stopped, but he was too embarrassed to. That, and Kelly would be home any minute.
When he got home, he mentally rewound his third meeting with Tony while putting the ketchup in the fridge. Brake, wave, smile, leave. It was short, poignant, not very sophisticated, but- with a decisive smack to the fridge door, he closed it and turned to the bar. What the hell was he doing? It was that moment that Gibbs realized he was acting like a teenager with a crush. And if there was one thing that was absolutely clear for Gibbs, it was that he was not allowed a teenage crush on a weird guy who pushed little girls on swings. Kelly, he suddenly realized, and wondered what his baby would say to the fact that her daddy had the hots for her friend? Her male, deaf, girls-on-swings-pushing - and very sexy - friend Tony. He was doomed.
