Title: Why Now?

Summary: Random Tony/Gibbs slash. Are you surprised?

Rating: T

Disclaimer: I don't own. I wish I did. But I don't.

POV: Third person. Amazing.

Authors note: It was intended to be a oneshot, but it will be two chapters(so a two-shot? Kidding!). Mild OOC-ness(mostly on Tonys part).


Why Now?

The only thing that could be heard in the bullpen was the clicking of computers keys, people shifting in their desks, the occasional phone ringing, and faint talking from other areas.

Gibbs, McGee and Ziva were all typing up various reports from the case they had just finished, when Tony walked down the stairs from the Directors office.

"Morning Tony," Ziva said.

"Morning Da-veed," he emphasizsed her name. "McGeek," he added.

"You're late," Gibbs said.

"Good morning to you too, Boss," he said. It was strange. He was completely serious. Not a hint of a smile on his face.

He set a stack of papers on his desk.

"What's this?"

"My official resignation," Tony said.

"What?" McGee, Ziva and Abby (who had just come to visit her favorite team) said in unison.

Gibbs, however, seemed unfazed by this news.

"My resignation," he repeated. "I gave the Director my two weeks notice 15 days ago."

"You can't leave!" Abby exclaimed, tackling him.

"Too late," Gibbs said. "Let him leave if that's why he wants."

Tony smiled sadly and hugged Abby, kissing the top of her head. Then he pulls away and turns to Ziva.

"I'm not going to hug you," she informs him.

"Of course not," he replies, then turns to McGee and holds out a hand. "Good luck," he says.

"Yeah," McGee says, still unsure of what's going on. "You too."

"See you Boss," he turns to the older man. "It was an honor to work with you."

Gibbs just grunts.

"Bye," he says finally, heading to the elevator.

Abby, Ziva and McGee all watch, all in shock, as he does. Director Shepard and Ducky watch from the balcony, unsure of what will happen next.


More to come soon.
