I did a drabble! Go me.

Eyes Open

Gibbs has watched a young man with an easy smile and wary eyes grow older, become confident and self-assured. To a point, anyway. Brought Tony back from taking a final rasping breath with a command and a caress disguised as a slap. Felt those strong hands push air and life back into him as he lay, lungs full of water, vision black.

But until he wakes in his bed, body aching in pleasant ways, to find Tony staring down at him, a settled happiness replacing the dazzling smile, Gibbs feels he’s never seen Tony clearly before.

He likes the view.

Short tag for last night's episode though not really spoilery. 1500 words.

Been forever since I wrote these two but I just watched the last three episodes in a day and there was one Tony/Gibbs scene that sparked this drabble.

Losing Battle

He'll never tell Tony, but Gibbs loves the moments when Tony's face hardens with resolve and he resists, fights back.

Gibbs likes strength and he nurtures it in Tony, in his own way.

But he likes it more when Tony bites his lip, murmurs, 'Yes, boss' and his gaze falls, just for a moment.

Likes that subtly trained submission too much, if he's honest.

He wants to reward Tony for it. He knows what Tony craves and he can provide it.

There's a rule that says he can't.

Gibbs is getting older.

Maybe it's time to wear purple and red.

No in-depth thoughts (apart from the fact that Gibbs/Tony is practically canon now) but two solid, enjoyable, entertaining episodes.

And Callen/Hanna. Aww. Boys. And the final scene between Kensi and Deeks; loved that too.

Nice to see the shows getting back to what they do best.

Last night we had a line from Gibbs that made my Gibbs/Tony heart grow two sizes. Where is the squee?

Going behind the cut for both episodes.

I went pretty wild here. RB with Gibbs? Hot. When I was going through frame by frame, you could've sworn they were about to kiss. Except not really given what was going on. But still.

There's a nice juicy scene of him (with Tony!) halfway through this MH interview which the lovely alyssinmindmind links to here:

Not really spoilery but if you want to be completely unspoiled, skip it.

The lovely eleen_moon posted the promo for next week's NCIS episode with Richard Burgi in it on spoilersforncis.

Gibbs wall slams him.

I think I might have made little squeaky noises, but it all went a little fuzzy...

Post and trailer are here.

ETA Aly thinks that's Tony getting wall slammed, not RB's character. ::pouts::

I don't know (too fuzzy to tell), but I do know this; if it is Tony, that's Gibbs losing it more than we've ever seen him do. Headslaps? Sure -- but they're not done in anger. He'd never treat a team member -- a friend -- like that unless he was pushed to his limits.

Hmm. Maybe I'll cancel the pout...that sounds intriguing, too :-)
