Picspam and review of NCIS 7o19 Guilty Pleasure.
Warning: It's very probable the review will look a lot like this: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor guy. I'm a girl and I'm still suffering just from this two seconds.
"Get off Facebook and dial!" Heee.
OM...I don't even know where to begin!
!!!!!!!!
"Good morning, Tony."
"Is it, Tim?"
"Well, I don't see why it wouldn't be. What's wrong?"
"You stood me up last night."
"No, I didn't."
"You did."
"No, I did not, Tony. What is today?"
"Today is the day after the night when you were supposed to meet me at the bar at the air and space museum."
"Are you two dating now?"
"No. Tony is using me as his pimp. I went to college with a girl who works at the museum."
"Ms. Lunar modules. That's her specialty."
"Tony wants me to introduce them. To fix them up."
"Tony needs help with a woman?"
"No. I needed a geek wingman. McGeek qualifies."
"See that, Tony? This shows that tomorrow night is when we're supposed to get together, okay?"
"I sent you 15 texts. I sat there for three hours. I waited for you. I called."
"I was in the bathtub."
McGee is really not happy at helping Tony getting a date. And Tony looks so hurt by Timmy ignoring him the past night.
Someone else found the bathtub line sound like a double sense, with the way McGee said it? One Tony understood, with the way he bit his lip, but they didn't want Ziva to hear? Maybe Tony too, missed a date. Like, a moment just the two of them before Tony's date. Because they're not in an actual relationship, just friends with benefices! If they say it often enough, they'll believe it.
Anyway, they had a date, and Timmy also wait hours for Tony to joins him. And finally get his phone to know why Tony is late, find the missing calls and the texts. And he's furious. Angry that Tony forgot about them. Angry that Tony was so impatient to meet someone. Angry that he has to be the one bringing them together. And too passive-aggressive to actively do something about it, or admit the jealousy. So he deliberately ignores the rest of the calls and it's why he's half pissed, half fake big smile when he says hello to Tony. Because it sounds like he was already a little bit angry with Tony, there, way before the fight starts.
Like:
"You stood me up last night."
"No, I didn't."
"You did."
"No, I did not, Tony. You did. What is today?"
And maybe Tony suspects/thinks (because he looks like he's thinking 'why you're angry? I have a reason to be angry, what's yours?) Tim is not happy at the idea of Tony meeting someone but he's tired to waiting for him to say it, to make a sign he wants something exclusive, and think McGee doesn't have the right to act all "we're not together, but you're not allowed to go elsewhere.". So he took the first reason he could find to bother McGee, the donuts. And it snowballed.
Okay, it's went further that !!! Back to your regular squeeing.
"Why do you do that? Every morning I come in here, you get one of the donuts with the sprinkles on it, and you spend half an hour picking all those sprinkles off."
"Yeah? What's your point?"
"Why don't you just buy one without the sprinkles?"
"Why don't you just stay out of my business? It's part of my ritual. What do you care?"
"And the little huffing and puffing... What, are you trying to blow the coffee down? Why not one long blow?"
…someone else had their mind go in the gutters?
"DiNozzo."
"Hey, DiNozzo. It's McGee. Listen, I have to cancel tomorrow night. Have a good day."
"Not answering."
"Answer it."
"Nope."
"You and me, McGee... we're done."
"No argument here."
Oooh, the gun thing. Not a good move, Tony. And McGee's expression is all "…aren't you overreacting a little, here?" while saying his line. Because he's not good at getting hints.
"You know what, you two? I have actually heard of this. You two are having a seven-year bitch."
"Itch. And yes, we are."
7th year hitch. A relationship thing, and Tony confirms. And McGee is still not getting the actual message under Tony's anger. Remember last time when I said it was crazy how easily the canon could go with my tinhatty theories? Still working.
To summarise, that's how I was seeing it until Jack Knife (copy/pasting from a comment I left to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
catwalksalone.). They're in a fuck-buddy deal, with Tony keeping his crush under wraps and McGee not having this kind of feeling for him (as far as he thinks), started when Ziva left, and they really have a lot of fun together, until Amanda (Endgame). Tony tried really hard to respect the rules, because they're not really together and he shouldn't be jealous, except he is and he knows he can be possessive, it doesn't have to mean anything so he keep it down. Because if McGee is going to be happy with a woman, he'll be happy for him. Because he lo...likes him very much. But she dies, and was a bad guy girl, and it's back to friends with benefits, and he's happy with that and doesn't need to get serious, unless, you know, you want to, then, I can, but if you don't want to, it's okay, I mean, I'm just saying...
McGee is sort of far of it. Not because he doesn't love Tony, but because Amanda was the last straw, and he's kind of burned on the idea of a normal, steady relationship. This thing with Tony is uncomplicated and not painful and he's happy, and so scared of being played and hurt again he's in big denial about it, the fear and the relationship.
Around Jack Knife, Tony is unconsciously waiting for McGee to be ready and McGee still needs time. But it's slowly coming, with his realisation of how much he didn't like the idea of Tony with Ziva or someone else than him.
Who would have guess the role of the commitment phobic would be exchanged?
And it's still working! Guilty Pleasure is about Tony who wants McGee to take a decision about where they'll go, and tired of waiting, wants to think about himself a little. Except in the end, it's still about McGee, to make him jealous, to make him reacts.
And while Timmy was jealous, he didn't really try to win him back. So "Why do I even try?" Or 'Okay, I understood you liked me just for yourself, I can wait a little longer, but it still bothers me'. Yeah, I just jumped to the end of the episode. The way I do the reviews, I note what I think while watching it, and type it like that after, adding the theories, stories, stuff I remarked when doing the caps, etc in the same time.
So that's why I talk about later stuff while letting comments suggesting I don't know what's coming on. And I'm getting back to the shallow squeeing.
"You two are like a married couple."
"Oh, no, they're not. They're still speaking."
"They're still speaking." No comment about the rule n°12?
Hey, it's the bowtie with the elephants!
Oh yeah, Gibbs is totally on their side, wanting McGee to follow Tony and fix it after he saw the way he was looking at Tony.
"Go. Hey, McGee. Go."
"Together?"
"Yeah, together. Go."
"Hey. Why'd the dead guy cross the road? To get home."
"Yeah. You were funnier when you were fatter."
Ooh, bad joke! That was a peace offering, Tony! That was just mean. He's still hurting, I guess, but all the same...He simply doesn't want a "let's pretend things are okay", he wants the thing between them to move one way or another.
"Quid pro quo, Clarice."
"Whoa. Silence of the lambs. Nice movie reference. And a nice chianti."
"Yeah, we're going to need everything you've processed so far."
"He knows the drill, Tim. What do you got, McC?"
"Follow me."
"...McC"
McC. I may have fallen a little more in love by the tone Sean Murray used to say it. Already jealous. And it was such a hit. Tony knew he'll touch something with that, using a McNickname. In a way, I'm almost sad for McCadden, because Tony is using him to make McGee jealous. The movies' reference made him a candidate before Tony realised what he wanted to do. It's sort of sad, they could have been friends, real friends, if Tony didn't see there the opportunity to hurt McGee. Well, until McCadden do the big mistake.
Tony tries to destabilise him, Tim tries to ignore him, and I could swear this phrase has a hidden sense too. A criticism against all the time Tim ignored his movie references?
"Maybe the wife put an end to her husband's investigative probing with a steak knife. The bad stuff is easier to believe. That's a line from Pretty Woman."
"Go with McCadden. I want you two working together on this."
"Ah. I like that."
Oh, McGee's eyeroll at Gibbs's line about Tony working with McCadden!
This look! Tony is doing this to make him jealous! He doesn't even try to hide it!!!! Gibbs (helping or testing) send him works with McCadden to push McGee to react or to see if their works would be suffering from their problems. The second Tony goes too far in hitting or McGee retaliates, also in a too far way, he'll break them up.
Should I be worried by how easily I can find a slashy explanation?
And Ziva who watch, amused. She's taking notes for her own slash fictions.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to work. Deadlines."
"Yes. Lieutenant Moss met his."
Oooh, I love Abby's clothes! I wouldn't wear red pants, but it's nice on her. I still want her top.
"Abby?"
"No time for small talk, Gibbs. There's way too much to tell."
"I only said "Abby," Abby."
"Well, now you've said it thrice."
I thought Charlotte's lawyer was going to be Mallison.
No Tony, Ducky won't join your game.
"Detective McCadden..."
"You can call him "McC.""
High Five! Poor Ducky. Good reflexes. But it goes well with the idea he could be a new friends for Tony. Until he touch the Probie, anyway.
I like Holly Snow's humour. Actually, I like Holly, point. She's fun.
"You know I never did thank you for the jewellery. I usually prefer Tiffany's, but, um... I can wear this in the bathtub."
Heee, McGee is not losing one piece of the Abby/Holly action.
"Uh, Miss Snow, can I ask you a quick question? Um, when you told Charlotte what the client wanted, you... you mentioned a couple things: "Kb, m-o-x, half around. " What does that stuff mean? * Holly checks him out* Check the Internet."
"Checking the internet." Or in another words, JFGI. I did too, and if I can guess from the scene in the motel, I didn't find more. So either I didn't look in the good place, or it's Snow and Charlotte's own language. But still, that's Urban Dictionary's first definition for mox:
sing. n. A young homosexual male .
(pl. = moxen)
Not sure if it's funnier regarding Tony or with the way Holly looked Tim.
"What in the world did you do in there?"
"Just freshening up. Actually cut myself shaving, if you can believe it. They got a nice aftershave in there: Jasmine and ginger."
"Sure you're not compensating a little bit with the jacket and everything?"
"Take it off, Hef."
"A woman's never been able to tell when I was faking."
...I hesitate between 'and you fake it often?' and 'he's faking it because he rather be with a man.'
Why the close-up on the earwig?
"Testing... this is very special agent DiNozzo."
...oh come on, that's Tony's speciality! Bad writers, really bad writers. From the shocked look from Gibbs and McGee, I'm going to handwave that as a plot point and not a bad writing. Like, it's actually a symptom of Tony's head being in a bad place, explaining the therapist and the rest. Actually, I'll bet they'll talk about in their next session. And it goes well with the random close-up. 'Pay attention to that, viewers, you're supposed to be 'WTF?' about it!'
Still amused by Tony, despite the fight.
"Well, I guess she'll never know what she missed."
"Or how lucky she is."
Why, you have an idea of how he is in bed? Or what's happening after?
Nice 'bitch please!' there, Timmy.
"And they say you can't make money with a liberal arts degree."
Fun, they're talking about Terminator when they actually met him (Bell). Except McCadden.
Oh god, shipname! T-Cad! I bet McGee receives emails about Tisa, McAmy and Totibbs. Same suit!
"Well, if it isn't T-Cad."
"What?"
"T-Cad. It's what I'm calling you guys now. You know, the cute couples contraction? Tomkat, Bennifer, Brangelina?"
"Yeah, we got it, McBitter."
"You two are wearing the same suit even. Nice."
"We're probably looking for a male."
"Or Ziva."
Oh McGee, you're so jealous. And Tony knows it perfectly, and doesn't mind pushing the buttons, joking with McCadden and letting Tim work while they leave to eat. And McCadden who still doesn't realise he's being used.
Change of mind, I love Holly Snow. I want her to meet Mallison and deals with her like she just dealt with the lawyer.
"She is not giving you the names of men that can testify against her. Nice try, though."
"Am I talking to you? Your stupidity is gonna get somebody else killed."
"Did you get my Nutterbutters?"
"Oh, hey, Slim Tim. Forgot about that. Sorry."
"I'll bet you did. You used to get my Nutterbutters."
Oh man. Tony is laughing about it! McCadden too! Actually, the way they're looking each other, they're sharing the joke like if they knew McGee would ask for it! They're both laughing at McGee for expecting the NutterButters and deliberately not taking anything for him. It's "He's so ridiculous!" "Yeah, he is!". Tony!
On the other hand, he used to bring sweet treats for him? McGee is really blind, isn't it? That's like, courting! I mean, even John Sheppard would have seen it coming at this point.
"You taking a little break, are you, DiNozzo?"
"Uh, just a little low blood sugar. Just grabbing a snack, Boss. I'm back."
It's only pushing it if people reading that somehow didn't realise my Tony/McGee love, so another 'proof' of my theories! Did you see how Gibbs verbally slaps Tony? (Because a headslap would be too obvious. Also, Tony is too far away.)
"You taking a little break, are you, DiNozzo?"= "Watch out, you're walking toward the no return point until I made McGee leave the team." Well, yeah, Gibbs would never choose someone else before Tony, it's obvious. Also, it's one of the reasons Tony started to pay attention to what was happening. Before Phil and he start talking about McGee. Again.
Because, and I know I'm repeating myself, for McCadden to laugh with Tony against Tim, they had to talk about him before, maybe his jealousy/attitude with the T-Cad thing. And Tony was fine then. But Gibbs's warning wakes him up.
Awwww, McGee wants to play too.
"Let's go, Holly."
"Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you home."
"Oh! And tucking me in?"
Oh Abby, you know your boys so well. And probably shipping them too.
"So you heard about t-cad?"
"Tony's new bromance. Oh, honey, don't worry. It'll be over soon."
"I don't care when it's over. It can go forever as far as I'm concerned."
"Oh, somebody needs a hug."
Ahahaha! Gibbs backing off when Abby stabbed the air!
"Wait. Could you give McGee my hug today? Because he really needs one."
"I'm good, Boss. Thanks."
Hug! I almost thought Gibbs was going to do it. If Tim really needed it. Abby is so amused, I think she wanted to see it too. I think she's a multi slaher, Tony/Gibbs, Tony/McGee, and McGee/Gibbs.
Talking about McGee, it feels like it's the middle of the conversation. Aaaaaaand McCadden does the big mistake. You do not insult McGee. But with the "Probie does a lot for me", he already started the "man, what's his problem?" thing. Maybe continuing whatever talk they had before the snack scene.
"Probie does a lot for me."
"Really? Seems like such a geek. You deserve better."
"There is no better."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I doubt that, compadre. Hey, now Ziva... I'd get that cupcake a cookie anytime. Hey... let's wait for him in the lobby like Ness at the steps in the Untouchables."
"It was a train station, Phil. Remember the battleship Potemkin?"
"Whatever."
The looks during the work.... They can't stay away.
"So, you've got nothing."
"Phil, I think it's more like we've got nothing."
Again! Tony can't get up fast enough to defend McGee, and hold himself back at the last second, staying with "we got nothing." I don't thing McGee realised it. Ziva did.
Ah, here we go, McCadden's starting to understand now that Tony is dumping him.
"We'll take it from here, Phil. I think you can hit the road."
"You sure?"
"Very."
Love Ziva's little wave!
Little moment of introspection for Tony, who's realising one or two things. And Ziva is having a lot of fun. She knows and is absolutely not fooled.
"I have no idea."
"Get one... she's your responsibility."
"I don't chain her to my leg, Leon."
"Why not? Other men have paid money to do it."
Naughty Leon! And Gibbs who's laughing.
There were a lot of nice angles in this episode.
!!!!!!!!
"DiNozzo."
"Hey, Tony, it's me."
"Oh, hey, there, McCadden. Oh, really? Was that tonight? Yeah, it slipped my mind. I got tons to do, you know? Us NCIS geeks, uh, just closing out the case. No, I don't think there's gonna be a next time, Phil."
McGee who doesn't seem to see why Tony would break it up with McCadden. Did he realise what the "us NCIS geeks" means?
Tony's mocking Ziva, while including Tim in the joke!
"That was McCadden?"
"Did you dump him, Tony? Has your man-mance come to an end?"
"I never had a man-mance."
"You had a fling."
"Guys don't have flings. We hang out."
"Things were hanging out? That is disgusting."
You actually cheat on him? Shame on you! That'll be my chapter 4.
"Hey. Cookie, McG?"
"Nutter butter. That was very nice. A peace offering? Feel guilty, don't you? Well, you should."
"I won't apologize."
"I don't expect you to."
"You're doing that thing again. You're huffing on your coffee."
"I'm just sipping from the cup."
"You're annoying."
"You're juvenile."
And Timmy can't resist poking him. And they both love it, because it's how they roll. Also, I'm pretty sure there is a "Love you. Love you too." hidden in these passages.
"I won't apologize." I wasn't the only one responsible.
"I don't expect you to. I know. I get it.
"You're annoying." I love you, even if you still making me wait.
"You're juvenile." Love you too, even with your jerk attitude.
"Why do I even try?"
Oh, Tony's frustration of not getting the same PDA than what he gives. But he still knows (and if he doubted a little, was now convinced) that Tim really, really loves him. A lot. He knows for sure if McGee is not moving forward, it's not the lack of feelings. So he's okay with waiting a little longer.
So, big happy grins from everyone!
Ziva will have things to tell to Abby.
I'm really curious to see how the lady in Moonlighting will play in my slash world. It's a new combination of writers, Steven Binder and Jesse Stern, who both wrote extra-cute Timmy (Masquerade, Jack Knife, Ignition, Truth or Consequence, Reunion.). It's going to be fun.
So how much of a slasher are Ziva and Abby? Writing Tommy/Tibbs or Tommy/McGregor fics? RPS? Just talking?
Poor guy. I'm a girl and I'm still suffering just from this two seconds.
"Get off Facebook and dial!" Heee.
OM...I don't even know where to begin!
!!!!!!!!
"Good morning, Tony."
"Is it, Tim?"
"Well, I don't see why it wouldn't be. What's wrong?"
"You stood me up last night."
"No, I didn't."
"You did."

"Uh, Miss Snow, can I ask you a quick question? Um, when you told Charlotte what the client wanted, you... you mentioned a couple things: "Kb, m-o-x, half around. " What does that stuff mean? * Holly checks him out* Check the Internet."
"Checking the internet." Or in another words, JFGI. I did too, and if I can guess from the scene in the motel, I didn't find more. So either I didn't look in the good place, or it's Snow and Charlotte's own language. But still, that's Urban Dictionary's first definition for mox:
sing. n. A young homosexual male .
(pl. = moxen)
Not sure if it's funnier regarding Tony or with the way Holly looked Tim.
"What in the world did you do in there?"
"Just freshening up. Actually cut myself shaving, if you can believe it. They got a nice aftershave in there: Jasmine and ginger."
"Sure you're not compensating a little bit with the jacket and everything?"
"Take it off, Hef."
"A woman's never been able to tell when I was faking."
...I hesitate between 'and you fake it often?' and 'he's faking it because he rather be with a man.'
Why the close-up on the earwig?
"Testing... this is very special agent DiNozzo."
...oh come on, that's Tony's speciality! Bad writers, really bad writers. From the shocked look from Gibbs and McGee, I'm going to handwave that as a plot point and not a bad writing. Like, it's actually a symptom of Tony's head being in a bad place, explaining the therapist and the rest. Actually, I'll bet they'll talk about in their next session. And it goes well with the random close-up. 'Pay attention to that, viewers, you're supposed to be 'WTF?' about it!'
Still amused by Tony, despite the fight.
"Well, I guess she'll never know what she missed."
"Or how lucky she is."
Why, you have an idea of how he is in bed? Or what's happening after?
Nice 'bitch please!' there, Timmy.
"And they say you can't make money with a liberal arts degree."
Fun, they're talking about Terminator when they actually met him (Bell). Except McCadden.
Oh god, shipname! T-Cad! I bet McGee receives emails about Tisa, McAmy and Totibbs. Same suit!
"Well, if it isn't T-Cad."
"What?"
"T-Cad. It's what I'm calling you guys now. You know, the cute couples contraction? Tomkat, Bennifer, Brangelina?"
"Yeah, we got it, McBitter."
"You two are wearing the same suit even. Nice."
"We're probably looking for a male."
"Or Ziva."
Oh McGee, you're so jealous. And Tony knows it perfectly, and doesn't mind pushing the buttons, joking with McCadden and letting Tim work while they leave to eat. And McCadden who still doesn't realise he's being used.
Change of mind, I love Holly Snow. I want her to meet Mallison and deals with her like she just dealt with the lawyer.
"She is not giving you the names of men that can testify against her. Nice try, though."
"Am I talking to you? Your stupidity is gonna get somebody else killed."
"Did you get my Nutterbutters?"
"Oh, hey, Slim Tim. Forgot about that. Sorry."
"I'll bet you did. You used to get my Nutterbutters."
Oh man. Tony is laughing about it! McCadden too! Actually, the way they're looking each other, they're sharing the joke like if they knew McGee would ask for it! They're both laughing at McGee for expecting the NutterButters and deliberately not taking anything for him. It's "He's so ridiculous!" "Yeah, he is!". Tony!
On the other hand, he used to bring sweet treats for him? McGee is really blind, isn't it? That's like, courting! I mean, even John Sheppard would have seen it coming at this point.
"You taking a little break, are you, DiNozzo?"
"Uh, just a little low blood sugar. Just grabbing a snack, Boss. I'm back."
It's only pushing it if people reading that somehow didn't realise my Tony/McGee love, so another 'proof' of my theories! Did you see how Gibbs verbally slaps Tony? (Because a headslap would be too obvious. Also, Tony is too far away.)
"You taking a little break, are you, DiNozzo?"= "Watch out, you're walking toward the no return point until I made McGee leave the team." Well, yeah, Gibbs would never choose someone else before Tony, it's obvious. Also, it's one of the reasons Tony started to pay attention to what was happening. Before Phil and he start talking about McGee. Again.
Because, and I know I'm repeating myself, for McCadden to laugh with Tony against Tim, they had to talk about him before, maybe his jealousy/attitude with the T-Cad thing. And Tony was fine then. But Gibbs's warning wakes him up.
Awwww, McGee wants to play too.
"Let's go, Holly."
"Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you home."
"Oh! And tucking me in?"
Oh Abby, you know your boys so well. And probably shipping them too.
"So you heard about t-cad?"
"Tony's new bromance. Oh, honey, don't worry. It'll be over soon."
"I don't care when it's over. It can go forever as far as I'm concerned."
"Oh, somebody needs a hug."
Ahahaha! Gibbs backing off when Abby stabbed the air!
"Wait. Could you give McGee my hug today? Because he really needs one."
"I'm good, Boss. Thanks."
Hug! I almost thought Gibbs was going to do it. If Tim really needed it. Abby is so amused, I think she wanted to see it too. I think she's a multi slaher, Tony/Gibbs, Tony/McGee, and McGee/Gibbs.
Talking about McGee, it feels like it's the middle of the conversation. Aaaaaaand McCadden does the big mistake. You do not insult McGee. But with the "Probie does a lot for me", he already started the "man, what's his problem?" thing. Maybe continuing whatever talk they had before the snack scene.
"Probie does a lot for me."
"Really? Seems like such a geek. You deserve better."
"There is no better."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I doubt that, compadre. Hey, now Ziva... I'd get that cupcake a cookie anytime. Hey... let's wait for him in the lobby like Ness at the steps in the Untouchables."
"It was a train station, Phil. Remember the battleship Potemkin?"
"Whatever."
The looks during the work.... They can't stay away.
"So, you've got nothing."
"Phil, I think it's more like we've got nothing."
Again! Tony can't get up fast enough to defend McGee, and hold himself back at the last second, staying with "we got nothing." I don't thing McGee realised it. Ziva did.
Ah, here we go, McCadden's starting to understand now that Tony is dumping him.
"We'll take it from here, Phil. I think you can hit the road."
"You sure?"
"Very."
Love Ziva's little wave!
Little moment of introspection for Tony, who's realising one or two things. And Ziva is having a lot of fun. She knows and is absolutely not fooled.
"I have no idea."
"Get one... she's your responsibility."
"I don't chain her to my leg, Leon."
"Why not? Other men have paid money to do it."
Naughty Leon! And Gibbs who's laughing.
There were a lot of nice angles in this episode.
!!!!!!!!
"DiNozzo."
"Hey, Tony, it's me."
"Oh, hey, there, McCadden. Oh, really? Was that tonight? Yeah, it slipped my mind. I got tons to do, you know? Us NCIS geeks, uh, just closing out the case. No, I don't think there's gonna be a next time, Phil."
McGee who doesn't seem to see why Tony would break it up with McCadden. Did he realise what the "us NCIS geeks" means?
Tony's mocking Ziva, while including Tim in the joke!
"That was McCadden?"
"Did you dump him, Tony? Has your man-mance come to an end?"
"I never had a man-mance."
"You had a fling."
"Guys don't have flings. We hang out."
"Things were hanging out? That is disgusting."
You actually cheat on him? Shame on you! That'll be my chapter 4.
"Hey. Cookie, McG?"
"Nutter butter. That was very nice. A peace offering? Feel guilty, don't you? Well, you should."
"I won't apologize."
"I don't expect you to."
"You're doing that thing again. You're huffing on your coffee."
"I'm just sipping from the cup."
"You're annoying."
"You're juvenile."
And Timmy can't resist poking him. And they both love it, because it's how they roll. Also, I'm pretty sure there is a "Love you. Love you too." hidden in these passages.
"I won't apologize." I wasn't the only one responsible.
"I don't expect you to. I know. I get it.
"You're annoying." I love you, even if you still making me wait.
"You're juvenile." Love you too, even with your jerk attitude.
"Why do I even try?"
Oh, Tony's frustration of not getting the same PDA than what he gives. But he still knows (and if he doubted a little, was now convinced) that Tim really, really loves him. A lot. He knows for sure if McGee is not moving forward, it's not the lack of feelings. So he's okay with waiting a little longer.
So, big happy grins from everyone!
Ziva will have things to tell to Abby.
I'm really curious to see how the lady in Moonlighting will play in my slash world. It's a new combination of writers, Steven Binder and Jesse Stern, who both wrote extra-cute Timmy (Masquerade, Jack Knife, Ignition, Truth or Consequence, Reunion.). It's going to be fun.
So how much of a slasher are Ziva and Abby? Writing Tommy/Tibbs or Tommy/McGregor fics? RPS? Just talking?
