The conference was supposed to be their small getaway, just the two of them. No interruptions, no dead marines or navy men, no interference from Ducky, Abby or Kate, just him and Tony, alone in a suite. Yet, here he was in the bar nursing his second bourbon, and Tony was God knows where. \u2018And whose fault is that?\u2019 Gibbs was always amazed how his inner voice sounded so much like Ducky. \u2018You\u2019re the one that gave him the brush off, and now he\u2019s pissed and for good reason.\u2019 He sighed, and downed the rest of the bourbon. As he motioned the bartender for another, he looked out beyond the hotel\u2019s bars doors to see a very similar sight.<\/p>\n<p>A young man was obviously upset, and trying hard to contain the emotions that lay under the surface. He threw what looked like the conference schedule into the older man\u2019s chest and stormed off. The older man followed him with his eyes, confusion prevalent on his face. Gibbs watched, as the older man was enlightened, when he looked at the schedule. He couldn\u2019t hear him, but he knew the man was cursing. The older man then walked into the hotel bar, threw the schedule on to one of the back tables, and slumped into the booth. Gibbs motioned the bartender for second bourbon. He picked up the two drinks and headed over to the other man.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs set the bourbons down on the table, waiting for the man to look up. \u201cIt seems like you need one of these.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you, but I don\u2019t drink,\u201d Gibbs was able to get a good look at him, late forties, brown hair, slightly graying, trimmed beard, and intelligent blue eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Grissom\u2026\u201d Gibbs sat down across from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo I know you?\u201d Grissom asked a look of confusion on his face.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs pointed at the nametag, \u201cI take it you\u2019re here for the convention?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, as are you,\u201d He leaned over a bit to catch a glimpse of Gibbs nametag.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecial Agent Jethro Gibbs,\u201d Gibbs answered, \u201cNavy NCIS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAssociated with JAG if I\u2019m not mistaken, investigate crimes against or by Marine and Navy?\u201d Grissom leaned forward in his chair, \u201cGil Grissom Las Vegas Crime Lab.\u201d He finished, putting out his hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to meet you. Your work in forensics is well known.\u201d Gibbs leaned his elbows onto the table. \u201cDidn\u2019t mean to eavesdrop, but couldn\u2019t help but notice the scene outside the bar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHence the drink?\u201d Grissom gestured towards the bourbon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a similar scene earlier,\u201d Gibbs shrugged.<\/p>\n<p>Grissom looked at the man sitting across from him, contemplating the reasons he was there, \u201cIt\u2019s complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt always is,\u201d Gibbs said, downing the rest of the bourbon in his glass. \u201cI have three ex-wives; you would think I would have learned by now, how not to screw up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been married to the job, so it\u2019s all a bit new to me.\u201d Grissom sat back in his chair. \u201cBut, I just couldn\u2019t resist Nick. He, well he\u2019s just Nick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWork for you?\u201d Gibbs asked, smiling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSix years, started as a CSI level one, straight out of Texas,\u201d Grissom smiled remembering his first meeting with one Nick Stokes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow long you been together?\u201d Gibbs gestured for the waitress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne year, the longest, scariest, and best year of my life,\u201d Grissom looked up at the waitress, \u201cCould I have a cup of coffee please?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs looked at the bourbon, \u201cSame.\u201d The downed the last glass, \u201cTony\u2019s been working for me for two and half years now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe similar scene, earlier?\u201d Grissom cocked his head to the side, watching the other habitants in the bar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah,\u201d Gibbs sighed. \u201cSo what is Mr. Stokes upset about?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI insulted him professional and personally,\u201d Grissom looked back over at Gibbs. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe never do,\u201d Gibbs laughed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just got caught up talking to a fellow entomologist about the new study on cockroaches and surviving skills in sealed rooms.\u201d Grissom frowned, \u201cTotally forgetting that Nick was presenting his first paper, missing the session and presentation completely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grissom\u2019s eyes closed remembering Nick\u2019s face expression, the clenched jaw, and hard eyes concealing the hurt in them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrissom,\u201d Nick called as he walked up from the hotel\u2019s conference rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Grissom turned from Dr. Alan, smiling at the Texan, \u201cNick, I want you to meet Dr. Philip Alan\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dCan I talk with you?\u201d Nick interrupted his voice tight and controlled. \u201cI\u2019m sorry Dr. Alan, but it\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s fine, I have a meeting to get to, Mr. Grissom is an honor talking with you, please feel free to call me, so we can chat some more.\u201d Dr. Alan smiled, giving the two men a nod and walked off towards the conference tables.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick, that was a little rude,\u201d Grissom turned on the younger man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA little rude, what time is it Gris?\u201d Nick glared at him.<\/p>\n<p>Grissom looked at his watch, \u201cHalf past six, why?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere were you supposed to be three hours ago?\u201d Nick demanded, his tone warning Grissom to get the right answer.<\/p>\n<p>Grissom looked at him quizzically, \u201cYou were going to a session. Nick, I can\u2019t attend all of them with you.\u201d He knew instantaneously that was the wrong answer.<\/p>\n<p>He saw the hurt flash through, before they harden even more than before. \u201cWell at least I know where I stand with you professional and personally, I rank just below a cockroach.\u201d Grissom barely caught the thrown schedule, as Nick turned and stormed off.<\/p>\n<p>He looked down at the schedule: Fiber Analysis Seminar &#8211; Presenter Nick Stokes, Las Vegas. \u201cShit.\u201d Turned and walked into the bar, trying to figure out how to make it up to Nick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a lot alike, Mr. Grissom.\u201d Gibbs commented after Gil finished with the story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat? Both of us incapable of human emotion, or screwing up simple human relationships?\u201d Grissom voiced sarcastically.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs laughed, \u201cNo relationship is ever simple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grissom nodded, \u201cSo why are you here nursing a cup of coffee after how many bourbons?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was only my fourth,\u201d Gibbs shrugged as he sipped the black coffee. \u201cI, like you, was able to not only dismiss Tony as a professional Agent, but more specifically as a lover.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs was talking with a member from the FBI lab based out of DC. The Agent was a retired Marine, and the two were discussing the difference between working as a soldier and working as a civilian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJethro,\u201d Tony walked up to the two men, a smile on his face.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs noticing the sudden tension in the ex-Marine turned FBI, and barked back. \u201cAgent DiNozzo?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony stopped mid-step, a slight look of confusion on his face. \u201cBoss, I was wondering if we will if\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony was obviously thrown for loop, glancing between the two men. \u201cOut with it DiNozzo,\u201d Gibbs inwardly flinched at Tony\u2019s sudden shift, and tense stance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever mind Agent Gibbs, since you are obviously pre-occupied I\u2019ll just discuss the seminar with you later.\u201d Tony turned towards the Agent, \u201cI\u2019m sorry to have interrupted an important conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony then walked off with out giving Gibbs a second glance. Gibbs sighed, then turned towards the Agent, \u201cYou\u2019re Agent is a bit disrespectful to his superiors.\u201d The FBI Agent stated as he followed Tony, a look of disgust on his face.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs growled, slightly, \u201cSpecial Agent Tony DiNozzo is one of my finest agents. A man I trust with my life.\u201d Gibbs stated, \u201cNow if you excuse me, I have some business to take care of.\u201d He turned and left the FBI Agent, standing there a confused expression on his face.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs caught up with Tony by the elevators, \u201cTony wait!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony turned, eyes flashing in anger, \u201cWhat? You want to deny my existence to someone else?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs flinched at the harshness in his voice, \u201cLook Tony, you know not everyone is as supportive as Ducky, Abby and Kate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know, Agent Gibbs. I didn\u2019t expect you to treat me as your lover, but I do demand respect for my position.\u201d The ding of the elevator alerted them of passengers getting off. Tony watched them disembark and walk away. \u201cIf you didn\u2019t want to be seen with me, then you shouldn\u2019t have made the arrangement for us to come.\u201d Tony stepped into the elevator.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs watched the doors close, staring at his own reflections. He turned and entered the hotel bar, across the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do make a fine pair,\u201d Grissom saluted the ex-Marine with his coffee. \u201cSo now what should we do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going with Plan F, and then apologize profusely.\u201d Gibbs grinned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlan F?\u201d Grissom asked, \u201cIs there a hand book I don\u2019t know about?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonal joke, its code, for \u2018fuck him senseless\u2019,\u201d Gibbs smirked, at Grissom&#8217;s raised eyebrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNice code, is it military? Or NCIS?\u201d Grissom teased a bit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour plans?\u201d Gibbs set the empty coffee cup down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApologize, remind him I\u2019m an idiot, and then let him fuck me senseless.\u201d Grissom smirked.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs stood up, \u201cMr. Grissom it\u2019s been a pleasure talking with you. I wish you luck in your plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grissom stood taking the offered hand, \u201cAs I, you.\u201d Gibbs started to walk towards the entrance. \u201cAgent Gibbs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs turned back around, \u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBreakfast tomorrow? I would like to meet Tony.\u201d Grissom asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNine o\u2019clock good for you?\u201d Grissom nodded, \u201cMake sure you bring Nick, with you. I would like to inform him that his paper was very insightful.\u201d Gibbs nodded, as he walked out of the bar.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tony\u2019s Room<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tony stepped out of the bathroom; towel wrapped around his waist another in his hands as he dried, oblivious to all that was around him. He tensed when he felt a familiar presence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you doing here, boss?\u201d Tony\u2019s voice still held an angry tone.<\/p>\n<p>The towel disappeared from his hands; before Tony could react he was forcefully pushed against the wall, tilting the painting. He was about to protest, when he felt Gibbs warm mouth against his. Tony\u2019s hands were forced above his head, in a strong grip. The onslaught was brutal and demanding, Tony whimpered when Gibbs&#8217; tongue forced its way into his mouth. Gibbs grounded his hips into Tony\u2019s, causing the young man\u2019s head to fall back and hit the wall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis doesn\u2019t mean I forgive you,\u201d Tony whispered, another moan escaping his lips.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs captured his mouth once again. Letting Tony\u2019s hands free, he slowly caressed Tony\u2019s chest, his goal accomplished when he untied the towel letting it fall to the ground. \u201cCan I plead under the duress of flipping into my old marine status?\u201d Gibbs whispered into his ear, nibbling on it slightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, but it\u2019s not an excuse,\u201d Tony pulled his head back looking at Gibbs directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, it\u2019s not,\u201d Gibbs kept their bodies flush, but pulled back slightly. \u201cDealing with people, bigots that they are, outside NCIS is going to take time. I reacted to his body language, not thinking what it would do to you, and for that I\u2019m sorry.\u201d Gibbs kissed him softly; he felt the tension leave Tony\u2019s body as he responded back. Tony\u2019s hand slipped behind Gibbs head pulling him in for a deeper more intimate kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs pulled him away from the wall, towards the waiting bed. Tony\u2019s pulled off Gibbs&#8217; jacket and tugged at his shirt. Gibbs pulled back pulling off the shirt, then pushed Tony onto the bed, \u201cSo am I forgiven?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor now, now will you just get on with Plan F,\u201d Tony smirked, knowing exactly what Gibbs was thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs gave him a predatory growl, and proceeded on to plan F. It was lucky for Gibbs that he had called the front desk for a wake up call, before he got back to the room. Cause he sure as hell wasn\u2019t going to wake up on his own accord.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Nick\u2019s Room<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grissom opened the door to the suite they were sharing, even if he technically, he had his own room, paid nicely by the Las Vegas Police department. The room was dark; all he could see was the city&#8217;s lights coming through the balcony door. Nick\u2019s silhouette was barely noticeable in the doorway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick?\u201d Grissom called out, watching the figure closely. Grissom sighed, Nick didn\u2019t even turn around. \u201cAs your supervisor it was disrespectful to your status within the forensics community.\u201d Grissom paused, watching for any reaction. The moonlight caught the slight indication of the head towards him. \u201cAs your lover, it was un-excusable and all I can say is how sorry I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you realize, no one knows about us?\u201d Nick\u2019s voice echoed through the quiet room. \u201cIt\u2019s hard walking the fine line between being your lover and the CSI that works for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know, and I don\u2019t make it easy,\u201d Grissom walked towards him. \u201cRemember that night?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you picked me up at the airport?\u201d Nick turned and looked at him. \u201cI was surprised to see you. I knew something was wrong, I could see it in your eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou asked me\u2026\u201d Grissom reached out to touch Nick\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d Nick asked, following Grissom\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want this, you, everything about it. This year has been scary, I\u2019ve opened up to you, and in ways I haven\u2019t to others. But it\u2019s also been the best, I feel safe with you, at home, at peace.\u201d He paused, stroking his thumb across Nick\u2019s face, \u201cI get caught up in something and forget the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dHence the talking to possible serial killers, you get so focused that you don\u2019t let go.\u201d Nick stated, his hand reaching behind Gil, pulling him closer. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve seen that focus in other ways.\u201d Nick leaned forward kissing him. \u201cI\u2019m sorry I yelled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou had a right\u2026\u201d Gil leaned his head on Nick\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was hurt more than pissed, and then when you introduced me to some fellow entomologist I just felt\u2026\u201d Nick murmured into Gil\u2019s hair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t mean to make you feel that way, and I\u2019m truly sorry. I missed something important for you personally and professionally, and I can\u2019t express enough how sorry I am.\u201d Grissom began kissing up his jaw line, smiling at the small noises Nick was starting to make.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have one request,\u201d Nick breathed.<\/p>\n<p>Grissom kissed his mouth, nibbled on his bottom lip, and then pulled back. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to tell Warrick, and I want you tell Catherine.\u201d Nick searched his eyes, at the same time conveying the seriousness of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about Sara?\u201d Grissom asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can deal with her later, but it will have to be soon. Her flirting is getting annoying, and she\u2019s not subtle.\u201d Nick rolled his eyes, thinking of the outfits she had been wearing lately. Every since Grissom took her home after the DUI she\u2019s been throwing herself at him, making her intention very clear, well at least to the whole lab. Except for Grissom, who was oblivious or at least he acted like he was, which always made Nick smile at how frustrated Sara would get.<\/p>\n<p>Grissom kissed him, slipping his tongue inside. He smirked at Nick\u2019s dazed look when he pulled back, \u201cDeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nick pulled him back into a passionate kiss, walking them towards the bed. His lips trailed a path down Grissom\u2019s neck as he expertly removed the suede coat and cotton shirt. Grissom grinned at the lustful look in Nick\u2019s eyes. \u2018Good thing I set the wake up call before I got to the room,\u2019 was his last coherent thoughts of the evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hotel Restaurant<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t stop smirking Nick,\u201d Grissom shifted in his seat, making the smile wider on Nick\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are we here?\u201d Nick asked again, sipping his coffee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast night I had a chat, with a fellow\u2026\u201d Grissom paused thinking for a moment. \u201cHe understood the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s eyebrow rose, \u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt helped to talk to someone about things.\u201d Grissom looked up to see Agent Gibbs walking up with a young man behind him, obviously asking the same questions as Nick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgent Gibbs,\u201d Grissom stood up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s Jethro,\u201d Gibbs answered taking Grissom\u2019s offered hand, \u201cAnd this is my partner Tony DiNozzo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTony,\u201d Grissom nodded, and then turned to Nick who was smirking. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing,\u201d he said, before the laughter erupted.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs turned to a snickering Tony, \u201cDiNozzo?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry, boss, it\u2019s just irony in the making.\u201d Tony smiled, and then sat next to Nick.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs glanced at Grissom, who shrugged, and then offered a seat. \u201cCare to explain?\u201d Grissom looked at Nick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve met,\u201d He nodded toward Tony, \u201cto quote \u2018he understood the situation\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs stared at Tony, \u201cAt the bar across the street, we had drinks and discussed living with two hard noised, I live for my work, relationship clueless lovers, who happen to be our boss.\u201d Tony answered, \u201cWe\u2019re thinking of starting a support group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what did you two talk about?\u201d Nick asked, picking up his menu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDealing with hot headed, too emotional, younger demanding lovers who happen to be our subordinates,\u201d Gibbs answered glaring at Tony, who just smiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know Gil, we can look on the bright side,\u201d Nick looked over at his lover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhich is?\u201d Grissom asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not alone,\u201d Nick answered sincerely.<\/p>\n<p>Gil smiled, quietly listening to the other two sniping at each other, \u201cwe aren\u2019t that bad are we?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHell, no,\u201d Nick answered, sending the two laughing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Front of Hotel<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJethro, it was a pleasure meeting you,\u201d Gil shook his hand. \u201cIf you\u2019re ever in Vegas, look us up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll make sure to call you, if I run into a bug problem.\u201d Gibbs picked up his bags, \u201cYou\u2019re always welcome to visit when you\u2019re in DC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The both look over to the two young men talking, who were laughing and exchanging business cards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep him out of trouble,\u201d Gibbs nods over to the grinning Stokes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s more him keeping me out of it,\u201d Grissom answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGil, the cab\u2019s here,\u201d Nick held the door open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave a safe trip,\u201d Gibbs waved as Tony walked up to him.
