Recalcitrant
It was well known that Tony hated being given drugs for pain as they usually made him loopy or worse. After Kate’s death though, it was worse than that. Tony hadn’t been able to sleep the night through for going on two weeks now as every time he closed his eyes he was plagued with nightmares featuring Kate dying right in front of him.
Sometimes the nightmares featured Gibbs or McGee instead of Kate. When the next case resulted in Tony being injured enough to be kept at the hospital overnight, he was found to be even more recalcitrant than usual. He refused to explain why and just kept insisting on no pain medication over and over again.
