Gibbs wouldn't admit it, but he was actually feeling a bit jealous now. What was wrong with him? This was supposed to be fake, but he couldn't help wanting Tony all to himself. "We're supposed to be a couple. I don't think it's a good idea for you to look at women." He tried to keep the jealously out of his voice. They were asked we're they wanted to sit. "Inside." He said in response. Je wasn't much for eating outside.

"Alright, this way" she smiled leading them to a booth like seat for them to sit at. It was a secluded area so only the more...keep to self people had sat over here. Those who didn't chat loudly or cause disruptions. Guess the waitress could tell if Gibbs and Tony were talkers or not. Or at least Gibbs that is.

When they sat down Tony looked at him and said in a low voice "If I have to do this mission, I'm bi, I am not going around to say I only like guys" he stated as another waitress came up to them "Alright, are you boys ready to order?" she meant the drinks only, as usual in a bistro or restruant. "I'll have an iced tea, sweet" he liked sweeter things. "Alright, sweet tea on the rocks, and what about you?" she was more of the kind of person who was always happy, smiling, and never let anything bother her.

(*goes back to drawing*)

Gibbs snarled at Tony. "Seriously DiNozzo. You want to argue about this--" He trailed off as the waitress came by. "Gin." He answered bluntly. She left to get the drinks. He didn't mind having a little something strong tonight. he wasn't sure why, but Tony insisting to be 'bi' was bothering him. "Well. Just let me tell you that if your idiotic tendency to flirt with women blows our cover, I'll murder you and no one will find your body." He threatened. He didn't even try to hide the jealousy that was making his blood boil.

(I won't forget about the other one either, besides I have an idea for the little girl again)

"Oooh touchy touchy, Jethro" Tony spoke, though he did take that to mind. He wouldn't forget it either, whenever Gibbs was serious or threatening someone, not one person besides Abby or the director (sometimes) could keep calm about it, it kind of made him shiver. He didn't even want to imagine his boss killing him for blowing their cover. "Fine, I won't look at the girls" but then who would he look at if he couldn't look at the girls, which he did 'all' the time. The waitress had brought their drinks "Here you are, I'll be back when you are ready to order" she smiled and wandered off to where the others were. She had slipped Tony the number on a piece of paper, her number that is, and even though he wanted to keep it...he debated on what to do with it, sighing he crumbled it up and let it fall to the floor casually, the girl had noticed and didn't seem so happy about it, but, still managed to smile.

Gibbs held his menu up to hide the small smirk on his face as Tony dropped the girls number. (which he'd noticed she'd given him.) That ha made him a bit happier. After all, this was Tony DiNozzo. that man was like the god of flirting and sex. When the waitress came back, he ordered, refusing to even look at her and not being polite at all. She deserved it for being so unprofessional. He lied to himself, telling himself that he wasn't jealous.

"Alright, I'll be back in a moment" she returned with the drinks smiling and adding "Anything I can get you boys?" she purposely chose the word 'boys' not 'men' or 'guys' she wasn't so happy about being rejected, Tony stated he wanted the blackened chicken alfredo along with mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli on the side. She waited for Gibbs to order, but, while he was still looking at his menu, she whispered to Tony "How come you won't take my number?" of course, she was probably loud enough for Gibbs to hear too. "I'm not interested" he stated "but why, don't you like girls, i can tell you do" she stated "I already have someone" "doesn't mean I can't take her away from you" Tony looked up at her "It's not a 'her' and you are ruining our date" tony was so going to kill someone for this later. He was ruining his reputation for the sake of the mission. She looked a bit taken back, "You're gay?" she almost exclaimed "Technically it's considered Bi, to like both sides" he stated, she didn't look so happy. She fixed her composure and waited for the other one to order.

Gibbs really couldn't see how this girl could have the nerve. "first of all, you have a lot of nerve. Second, you're ugly. Third.." He grabbed his glass and splashed the cold alchol in her face. He grabbed Tony's hand dragging towards the car. "Come on. We're eating somewhere else."

Tony watched as this happened, he was surprised that Gibbs had done what he just did, and now they were leaving. He sighed, maybe they should just order room service. They went to the car and got in, Tony didn't ask what that was about, he waited until he pulled out, parked in the hotel parking lot, and they got up to the room. Once they were up there he asked "So, what was that about?" Tony wondered because he knew not only was he, himself (tony), Abby, Ziva, McGee, and so many others were annoying. But, he would've expected his boss to react in another way.

Gibbs knew he'd have to explain his behavior an he sighed, not wanting to admit why he'd had such a fit. He sat on the couch and just looked at Tiny for a moment. He'd really overreacted just a few moments ago and he knew it. But, for some reason this was all making him overly possessive of his senior field agent. He didn't want Tony to look at anyone, and he didn't want anyone looking at Tony. "You know I don't do well with rude people." he said as a pitiful excuse. "Besides, that's just how people act in that situation right?" He was trying to play innocent, but knew he was failing. If it wasn't obvious that ye was jealous, he wasn't sure how it could be more obvious. "Lets just get room service. I'm hungry." He really just wanted to change the subject off of his behavior. They had to be careful about what they said and did here. They're we're cameras after all. "How would you react if that had happened?" He muttered, taking up for himself, but he didn't even say it loud enough for it to be heard.

Tony thought he had heard something "Hm, did you say something?" he asked, it was odd to use the name "Jethro" in any case, especially it being his boss' name. Tony went to order room service, he ordered for both of them the same thing to eat and drink. Tony hung up the phone "I'm going to shower, or did you want to join me?" he totally joked, no one would ever take him up on that offer, not even the girls he had slept with.

Gibbs turned, surprised by that offer. "I wouldn't test me. I just might do that if you're not careful." The look on his face suggested that he was dead serious, an he was. If that offer wasn't taken back, he was really going to take his fake boyfriend up on it. Abby was laughing in the background am he removed the earpiece, annoyed thy she was even listening. "So anyway, you either take thy back or you're going to have company."

Tony couldn't help but to laugh, "Fine, fine, take your shower by yourself" he walked away with his clothes already in his arms and went into the bathroom shutting the door. He turned on the hot water and stripped himself of his clothes. The good thing is, even if someone was watching, with his body he wouldn't care if they saw anything even in the bathroom. Stepping into the shower, he closed the door, he let the hot water run down his body, the steam rising around him making it feel like a sauna in there. He was glad he could clean up since they left, he hadn't had much time to actually relax since they got there, though now he was forgetting about the mission slowly.

Tony placed the dove bar soap of his in the soaked wash cloth, rubbing his hands around it so that it would lather up, he put the bar to the side, and began to soap up his body. He washed every inch of himself, letting it rinse down, he thought to himself 'Was he really going to join me in the shower? Nah it can't be, must just be because people are listening in' now even that was too much for his boss to do even on a mission, wouldn't it? Tony shook away other thoughts and was now tempted to test Gibbs, but, he would play the innocent route for now.

Tony turned off the hot water, he didn't use that much, and was only in there for twenty minutes. A normal teenage girl could be in the shower or bath from twenty to sixty minutes (some longer). Tony was more like the girl out of the relationship than he would admit, that was for sure; Tony still had his pride to think about. He dried himself off, not really drying his hair off, he never really did. Placing a towel around his neck to keep the water from his hair dripping elsewhere, Tony put on his boxers and then his blue jeans zipping them up. He had a button up blue shirt with short sleeves that he would put on, but, not button up. So far Tony was just being himself.

Making sure the faucets were off, Tony turned the light off, and walked out of the bathroom not paying any attention to Gibbs at first. He walked over to his bag to start to unpack, they hadn't really unpacked since they got there. He leaned over picking up his bag and placing it on a chair as he put his stuff in the closet, then his bag, he had reached up high to put it on top of the closet, well not that high. "Still plenty of hot water" he stated being truthful on that part.

(was this good?)

((that was great :D))

Gibbs watched Tony leave, kind of disappointed at being turned down. He was beginning to accept this side of himself. He knew now that he really did feel something for Tony. He just wasn't sure if it was lust or affection. He'd have to explore this further ad find out. He wast surprised when it took Tony twenty minutes to take a simple shower. Again, Tony was defiantly the chick in this 'relationship.' Gibbs waited for Tony to walk out and glanced to see his chest which was hardly covered by his open shirt. He was pretty sure that was a creepy thing to do, but who cared? Didn't he have the right to do what he wanted? Tony was always staring at women, and that's how Gibbs justified his actions. He was just being a man.

Gibbs had been deep in his own thoughts when Tony spoke. "Hmm? Oh, good." He said, snapping out of it. "I wouldn't have been happy with a cold shower, though I've done it before." He walke off to take his own shower, letting hot wares rinse away the smell of chlorine from swimming earlier. His silver hair laid over his eyes and he scrubbed it with shampoo, though he realized quickly that he'd bought the wrong kind. "You've got to be joking." He growled as the smell of strawberries filled up the room. That was new. He finished up by scrubbing his whole body with soap and then he dried off, turning off the water. He towel dried his hair so it was just damp and then slid on his clothes. They were his pajamas since he didn't really plan on leaving after this. He was basically just in his boxer shorts and a wife beater. It wasn't the expected apparel for a man like Gibbs, but he figured it was better than sleeping in his birthday suit. After all, he and Tony would have to share a bed for this trip.

Gibbs walked back to were Tony was, beginning to unpack his own bags. He nearly hung and folders his clothes, organizing everything well. He liked being able to find his clothes. He heard a knock on the door and got the food from room service. "Tony, darling the food is hear." He called and say on the couch, beginning to eat his own. It was pretty good, he had to admit. He turned on some tv drama that he was sure most gay men would watch. "You should come sit with me." He said, hoping that Tony would sit on the couch instead of in the chair beside it.

(how long were you going to be up tonight, do you know? and the more i read this the more i laugh thinking its weird or awkward lol)

Tony nodded "Sure thing" and went to get the cart of food and drinks from the door giving the bell boy his tip. Tony brought the food over so they could eat together, he sat on the ouch next to Gibbs, probably about a couple inches away, two or three, enough for room to eat. Tony had ordered them both steaks, vegetables, and some wine on the side (besides the tea) It smelled really good to, Tony started cutting up his stake taking a bite. "Came out medium rare, I'm impressed"

((pretty darn late. 1:00 or 2:00 am maybe later.))

Gibbs smiled at him. "I'll tell you what surprised me. The fact that you know how I like my steak." He really was impressed with that, or maybe Tony had just done it the way he liked it and hoped Gibbs would approve. "Tony." He said, thinking. "Do you love me?" He asked, not sure why he'd even said something like that. He'd blame it on the mission. That was the best thing to do, though he watched Tony to see what his real reaction would be. He was looking into his eyes. The eyes were the pathway to the soul after all.

(what time is it over there and why so late?)

"Eh, I figured you'd like it more this way than the other ways" Tony stated and almost choked on his food. His face turning red a little bit from something like that coming from Gibbs. "W-what?" he asked, not sure if he heard correctly, though he knew for the sake of the mission, he had to answer, and he figured this was just to put another act on "I wouldn't be here if I didn't, now would I?" that part had to be true up to a point, because Tony never went with anyone anywhere that he didn't like.

((it's midnight. I slept all day, so I'll be up most of the night.))

Gibbs looked into Tony's eyes, seeing that he thought this was an act. (and Gibbs had convinced himself this was an act too.) "I don't know." He said looking away. "Don't ignore the question. I want a direct answer." He knew he was being picky, but he was just so hopeless at the moment. He was mad at himself for having fallen for his own subordinate. He even had a rule for this kind of thing.

Tony sighed "I already answered you, it should've been clear as day" he stated putting his fork down. He had only eaten half of his steak when this question appeared "Fine, I'll just have to answer you in a different way" Tony said and without hesitation he leaned over kissing Gibbs on the lips, his eyes closed...

Gibbs was so surprised at first, eyes going wide with shock. He eventually got over that and then closed his own eyes, pulling Tony closer and kissing him back, adding a bit more passion. He placed a hand on the back of Tony's head, coaxing him to come even closer. This was a new feeling, his chest was fluttering the same way it had when he'd first met Shannon. He felt alive again, and he felt exposed as well. His heart was all on the line, not in it's normally cold emotionless act. He was opening up to much, and as much as he wanted to close himself off to the world, Tony had managed to break the ice that was Gibbs normal composed form. He was sure the younger man didn't even feel the same way, an he hated Vance for putting them both through this. He felt like somehow Vance had known know about his feelings for DiNozzo even before he did.

(so what did you think of what Tony did?) (Go Vance! lol XD Well you are defiantly a great roleplay partner if you can get my attention this much in a story. Yay!)

Tony felt Gibbs pull him more in the kiss, for some reason something inside of him, a feeling that didn't feel the same as kissing any girl, had awoken. He wasn't sure why, he wasn't sure how, but, what he did know was that he was enjoying every moment of it. He could feel the heated kiss between him and his boss...lover in this case for the mission. The closeness, the touch, and the sensitivity was all driving him nuts. He broke the kiss merely to get some air to breath, his eyes almost like in a daze, as if Gibbs was the only one he could see, and that meant the room itself had disappeared. "S-see that answers...things doesn't it?" he asked regaining his breath. Of course now, Tony was starting to wonder if he liked his boss, which to him was impossible, there would be, could be no way. Could there? He just enjoyed making out with his boss, the one person who always teased him, always treated him like a kid...

Gibbs wasn't really wanting to break the kiss, but he knew they both needed air. "Yeah. I guess it does." He answered, not even knowing what was real and what wasn't. He felt awful. He felt so, so awful and he wanted to slap Vance in the face. He was now conflicted. What of he ended up telling Tony how he felt and the man laughed in his face? He was conflicted all on the inside and felt very fragile all of the sudden. "I will be back my love. Just watch T.V." He went to the one place he knew he could talk without being heard or listened to. The elevator.

"You ass!" Gibbs hissed into the phone. "Excuse me agent Gibbs?" Vance demanded. "You did this on purpose didn't you? How did you know I felt like this? I didn't even know!" He didn't like that anyone could read him that well. "It wasn't hard to tell. You pay him more attention that the others. And you stare." Gibbs couldn't believe this. "I can't believe you. Now I'm confused. How could I even tell him something like this?!" Vance paused. "By the end of this mission you will have made out with him and god knows what else. I don't think it'll he hard to tell him ice your back in DC." Gibbs hung up on the director in a fit of rage and went back to the room, sitting with DiNozzo.

(*laughing all the time reading this* lmao)

Tony sat in the room, the first day there and they had kissed twice. The first time Tony was more surprised than anything, the second time felt more...it made him feel...even words couldn't explain how he felt. Then he remembered it was his boss, still the man was good at kissing, that much was noticeable. Tony laid down to watch tv, he soon got tired with all the thinking he had been doing, and earlier the swimming, now the kiss. He went to sleep, he had come to the terms he liked his boss, and there was no way to stop it unless they stopped seeing eachother fully, even at work. Tony had taken't up only half of the ouch when he fell asleep, he was tired from the day.

Jethro knew that sleeping on the couch couldn't be good for someone. He picked Tony up and carried him to the room, laying him on the bed. He removed all of his clothes except his boxers an place him under the sheets. It was late an it had been a long day. He climbed in beside Tony and closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth that came from having another person in the bed with him. It had been a long time since he'd had this feeling. He pulled Tony into a close embrace before falling asleep himself.

((:D are you amused?))

(yes I am, it's very hard to actually amuse me in a roleplay, so this is like SWEET lol)
(*Trying to not squeal like a fanboy* lol)

Tony felt himself being moved to the bed from the couch, but, he didn't want to wake up. Tony could feel it getting cold and then warmth from the covers. Then something was different, he felt warmth, and it was soothing to him. He curled up into the embrace in which he guessed was Gibbs, and smiled sleeping. He had the same dreams as the night before, but, knew he wouldn't be able to remember them very much the next day. Sleeping through out the night, the morning slowly came, it was peaceful and welcoming. Tony woke up to the light seeing that Gibbs was still asleep. He forgot about any cameras and just quickly kissed Gibbs on the lips and then snuggled back falling asleep again.

((I feel special now :D))

After falling asleep, Jethro was out like a light. He didn't wake until a bit late the next morning, glad to see that Tony was still there and sleeping in his arms. The light that came in from the curtains was welcoming and he laid there thinking. He didn't want to wake his sweetheart. He stroked Tony's hair every so softly and kissed him on the cheek. He knew they'd have to get up soon. They did have spying to do, but for now he was happy with just laying here with the man in his arms.
