Tea Time

Summary:

Ducky cares for a member of the team in his own way.

Notes:

Author’s Note: This takes place during an unspecified time in Season 3 after Kill Ari Part 2.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“Ah, Anthony, how are you? Jethro is concerned you were out in that storm too long.”

“Fine. Boss doesn’t need to worry,” Tony said, followed by a small cough.

“Then no need to examine you. But why don’t you join me for a spot of vanilla chai with honey.”

Tony relaxed and gifted Ducky with a smile. “Sounds better than the stuff the boss drinks.”

“Did you know both tea and honey have medicinal purposes? Honey is a natural antibiotic, and black tea may protect the lungs from damage. Although I prefer it for the simple enjoyment, especially with friends.”

Notes:

Author’s Note 2: It’s an unusually rainy day where I am today. I’ve been reading a lot of NCIS stories lately, so the characters have been on my mind. I was drinking some hot tea because I love tea and because I’ve got a bit of a cough. Out of nowhere, I remembered that in Hiatus Part 1, McGee mentions that Tony doesn’t like coffee, so I thought he might enjoy tea. Then this story was born.
