“You got plans tonight?”
“Sorry, Tony, World of Warcraft just released a new update. I’m going to be playing that all night.”
“It’s ok, Probie. I was just asking to be polite,” Tony placated, not wanting McGee to feel guilty about skipping out on him.
Tony also checked with Ellie, who had a date, and Ducky, who needed to take care of his mother. He didn’t dream of asking Gibbs, knowing that taking the boss away from his boat for a night was a bad plan. With a sigh and a frown, Tony headed for the movie alone.
He’d really wanted to share the new Magnum PI movie with someone, but everyone was busy, so he went alone. He paid for his ticket and found a seat away from everyone else. It wasn’t the premiere, but it was the first night they’d had off.
The theater was relatively empty, so there were lots of seats free. He had his choice of multiple places to sit that wouldn’t be next to anyone. When someone slid into the seat next to him, he looked up with a glare only to be met by Gibbs’ kind eyes.
“Why are you here?” Tony whispered.
“Seemed like you wanted company and I didn’t have anything better to do.”
Tony blinked. “You mean you followed me?”
“Wasn’t hard.”
“That’s not the point.” Tony glared.
“I can leave if you want. I just thought you’d like company.”
Tony slumped, “No, stay. I just didn’t expect anyone to follow me since everyone was busy.”
“Well you didn’t ask me.”
“You get grumpy if you don’t get enough time with your boat.” Tony shrugged.
“I’ll make an exception this time.” Gibbs smiled slightly.
Tony smiled back and they turned their attention to the movie, which was just starting.
