It was one of those rare occasions where the team had the day off and had all gathered together for a barbecue. It was supposed to be a team event. So Gibbs was shocked when Fornell headed their way.
“Fornell!” he snarled. “What are you doing here?”
“Calm down, Gibbs. I have an invite.”
“What? I think I’d know if you had an invite. I was the one who issued the invitations.”
“You weren’t the one who invited me.” Tobias grinned as he walked over to stand by McGee.
The team looked in confusion from McGee to Fornell. “Is there something you want to share, Tim?” Gibbs growled.
Fornell patted McGee on the back. “Tim?” Tony asked, his voice climbing in disbelief.
McGee took a deep breath and then turned to face Gibbs and the rest of the team. “I’d like you to meet my boyfriend, Tobias.”
“What?!” Tony and Abby gasped.
“Tobias!” Gibbs’ eyes swirled with a maelstrom of emotions.
Fornell held his hands up in an innocent gesture, “Hey! I just came to spend time with my boyfriend and his friends. I promise.”
Gibbs narrowed his eyes, which took on a dangerous gleam. “If you hurt him, there will be nothing you can do to avoid my wrath.”
Tobias nodded. “I’d expect nothing less, Jethro.”
“As for you,” Gibbs zeroed in on McGee, who gulped, “Good Job!”
“Wha?” Tim blinked in confusion.
“It takes balls to deal with Tobias’ grumpy ass all the time. I didn’t know you had it in you.” Gibbs smirked.
Tobias grumbled, “Yeah, yeah. Like you’re any better.”
“Everyone knows I’m a bastard, Tobias. You’re just a grumpy old man.”
Abby giggled and like that the tension was broken. Everyone settled in to enjoy the steaks Gibbs made and they chatted amongst each other. Tim had settled so that he was leaning against Fornell, half on Tobias and half off of him.
One by one his teammates moved to congratulate Tim and he couldn’t help beaming back at them. Tobias nudged his shoulder. “See I told you it would be alright.”
“So you did. I guess you won our little bet.”
“I’m looking forward to claiming my reward,” Tobias agreed with a lecherous grin.
While Tim may have started out an old fashioned lover boy whose preferences were solely vanilla, he had to admit that dating Fornell had opened him up to many unexplored avenues. He was sure that tonight would be another new experience as Tobias seemed to love to take advantage of his wins to try something sexual that was normally outside of Tim’s comfort zone.
Tim would be more upset about it, except that Fornell knew him well by this point in time and he always made sure that Tim enjoyed it. With Tobias, Tim was never afraid of trying new things. In fact, he couldn’t wait to see what Tobias had come up with this time.
