Segue

Jimmy headed over to Gibbs’ house on Sunday, the day after his less than satisfactory date with Tony, for their usual collusion about Tony that they tried to do every week. Unlike most weeks where they simply shared new pictures they’d gotten of Tony and sometimes favorite pictures, this time they started off by talking about how their dates went.

Gibbs started with how his date went since it happened first. He explained where they went and what they did and then started lamenting his inability to talk and share private things. Jimmy used that to segue into what happened on his date and how disastrous it was. After commiserating, they stuck their heads together to plan how they can do better for Tony.

“So we’re agreed?” Jimmy asked.

Gibbs grunted and stood up.

Jimmy got to his feet and followed Gibbs as they both got into their respective cars since Tony’s place was half way between their places.

Gibbs easily beat Jimmy to Tony’s apartment complex, but Jimmy wasn’t far behind. They arrived at Tony’s door only seconds apart. Jimmy tilted his head towards the door suggesting that Gibbs be the one to knock.

Gibbs knocked his usual knock. Tony glanced at the door wondering who could be there. He hadn’t ordered anything and had no plans that he knew of. While he had friends, they didn’t really drop by unannounced.

Grabbing his gun, he approached the door cautiously and looked through the peephole. He rolled his eyes and returned the gun to it’s normal spot before opening the door for Jimmy and Gibbs.

“What brings you fellas out here?” Tony asked, adopting a southern accent.

“We wanted to take you out. Me to make up for yesterday’s date and Gibbs because he wanted a chance to show you he isn’t always silent or that silence can be fun. I’m not real clear on the correct translation.” Jimmy explained.

Gibbs grunted. He was saving his words up for the actual date, so didn’t bother to clarify which translation of Jimmy’s was correct.

“So what do you say? Can we take you out on a date?” Jimmy wheedled.

“What? Now?” Tony blurted.

Jimmy and Gibbs both nodded.

Tony sighed. “Fine. Come in. Give me a minute to get ready.” Tony opened the door wider before heading for his bedroom leaving the two men to fend for themselves and shut the door.
