Happy Valentine's Day Kibbs

Chapter 2

By now the whole gang, besides Kate and Gibbs, were in on the plan. Tony and McGee would 'leave early' for the day and Ducky and Abby will be 'working' on a cold case. In reality, Tony and McGee will be decorating the garage with a few balloons, and fairy lights and anything else Abby deemed necessary, whist she and Ducky will be sorting out the music and setting the table up ready. The plan will be brought into action at 1800.

1755

Tony checked his watch for the umpteenth time, in around 5 minutes Abby's plan will be put into action. They had chosen 6 o'clock as that was when the occupants of the storage garage would be gone. "Tony, why don't you just go to your 'hot date'?" Gibbs' voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"Thanks Boss." He shot up from his seat, shutdown his computer and was ready to go. "Come on McGee. I need a ride." McGee looked at Gibbs who just waved him off. He quickly gathered his things and rushed off after Tony. "See ya later." he threw over his shoulder as he disappeared. Kate and Gibbs were left alone in the bullpen both wanting to ask the other that heart stopping question. They stayed in a comfortable silence for 20 or so minutes before Gibbs sighed and decided that he'd had enough. "You wanna grab something to eat?" he looked over at Kate. She stopped mid-type, musing it over. Was it just a 'bite to eat' or was he subtly asking her out?

"Yeah, sure. I'm starved actually." 'She said yes, she said yes' cried the little voice in his head, 'yeah, to food. You didn't ask her out dummy' said the other voice.

"Great." he smiled. He saved his work and closed the computer down as she did the same. As he was about to put his jacket on his phone rang. Annoyed, he answered it not bothering to look at the caller ID. Kate stood by listening. Great he'd just asked her to dinner - sort of - and they got a case.

"…Abbs, can't this wait?…alright we'll be right there." he flipped the cell shut. "Abbs and Ducky need us. Found something on a cold case they're working on."

"Okay."

"We'll grab something afterwards." he said as they stepped in the elevator and he pushed the button for the garage,

"Okay. Why the garage?"

"Don't know." was all he said.

As the elevator dinged and the doors slid open Gibbs and Kate cautiously walked into the dimly lit garage. Ducky and Abby nowhere to be seen, and the only sound was that of Alison Krauss' When You Say Nothing At All playing quietly from the other side of the garage. The approached carefully and both stood in almost shock and surprise at the scene displayed before them.

The garage - well a small part of it - had been decorated with balloons and ribbons and twinkling fairy lights. In the middle was a candlelit dinner for 2. Kate stared in awe; it was so romantic and beautiful. Gibbs didn't know what to say. He eyed up the table and picked up the note leaning against the candlestick holder it read (in what looked like Abby's handwriting):

We knew you'd never pluck up the courage to ask each other so we thought we'd help.

Happy Valentine's Day Kibbs (Kate and Gibbs)

Xxx

P.S - You'll have to get your own desert - sorry, Tony ate it.

P.P.S - It was McGee

Gibbs smiled and handed the card to Kate who smiled at what the gang had done for them.

"Well, least we don't have to leave the building to grab something." Gibbs smirked earning him a playful slap on the arm from Kate. He caught her hand and twirled her around and pulled her close in one swift move. "Would you like to dance before we eat, Miss Todd?" he asked her huskily.

"I'd love to Mr Gibbs." she giggled as they began to dance slowly to the music.

All day long I can hear people talking out loud

But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd

Old Mr Webster could never define

What's been said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me

The touch of you hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

Abby poked her head around the corner and smiled at them dancing together, "Oh I love Valentine's Day!" she whispered to herself before leaving.

A/N: Lemme know what you thought.
