“Do you think they would consider us cthonic spirits if they knew we were here watching them?” Ducky’s ghost mused.
“Nah. Leroy is too down to earth for those highfalutin words. He'd just call us ghosts.”
“Abby would call us spirits. I don’t know about cthonic.” Kate interjected.
”Abby’s not here.” Ducky pointed out.
“If she knew what Tony and Gibbs were up to, she’d wish she were.”
“Why? It’s not like they’re doing anything inappropriate.” Jackson protested.
Kate smirked, “It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that the position is suggestive.”
Ducky shook his head at Caitlin. He would never understand the women of the younger generation.
“Plus, Tony is wearing his fuck me pants.”
“Damn, I wish Leroy could see us. I would love to tease him about that.”
Caitlin snickered. “I’m just glad they finally got together the UST was killing me and I’m already dead.”
“I too am happy that they have found happiness with each other.” Ducky agreed.
“Took them long enough. I knew when they came down for that case that my boy was gone on DiNozzo. That’s why I gave him the sweater, but they couldn’t even get together while I was still alive. They had to wait until I was dead. I was so disappointed.”
Kate patted Jackson’s back. “It’s ok. They’re both too stubborn to die. It will be a long time before they join us.”
“It better be. I need more blackmail on my boy before he joins us.”
Ducky smiled at Kate and Jackson’s banter and settled back to watch as Gibbs tried to teach Tony how to do things around the house. It looked more like Tony was finding every excuse to give Gibbs a good look at his ass in the pants he was wearing. Ducky hadn’t been dead as long as Kate and Jackson, but he had to admit it was a lot more fun than he’d expected.
The best part for him was being able to watch over the ones he loved and see that they’re happy.
