One of Those Days; Epilogue

It was early afternoon and Tim sat at the diner booth waiting for Dean to meet him. Dean had chosen this diner for a reason that was unknown to Tim. But he seemed to love these places; with their specials and greasy diner food. Tim didn't asked or deny Dean this because he knew that for some reason it was special to the other man; like an old tradition when he was once human. They would come to here about five times a week; breakfast, lunch, and super. It didn't matter what meal, because if it made Dean happy Tim would do it—even if he had to workout more to keep from gaining any extra weight.

He took a sip from his steaming coffee as he glanced around the diner. It was quiet and not so crowded as most restaurants would be, even on a working day. He leaned back and settled into the seat and just as his eyes slid closed the bell above the door rang. He opened his eyes just as—Tony DiNozzo—slid into his booth. It took a second for his brain to kick in, but when it did, boy did he actually not know what to do. So he just sat up, stared and hoped that, well, it would be over soon.

"What do you want, DiNozzo?" Tim growled, his fists clenched in his lap.

"Whoa, Probie, what got your panties in a bunch?" Tony held his hands up in a non-threatening manner.

That just made Tim ground his teeth. "How did you find me?"

Tony glanced away.

"You got Abby to track my cell, didn't you?"

"It was her idea,"

"I quit, Tony, I'm never going back. You're just going to have to find some other Probie to torment."

"I know," Tony sighed; which was a surprise to Tim, yet it wasn't at all. "Gibbs already replaced you."

Just another cut that went deeper than Tim would have thought; how come he was easily replaceable, but when it's anyone else on the team, Gibbs always tries to get them back? "Typical," he said under his breath. Louder he said, "What do want, Tony?"

"I wanted to know why you quit, Probie."

"I'm not a Probie anymore, and I quit because NCIS turned out not to be my calling."

Tony scoffed. "NCIS was your life; you even said it was like your dream job because you couldn't join the Navy like your father."

Before Tim could comment the bell above the door rang and Dean walked in, though he stopped short as he saw Tim with someone in his booth. It took him a second to recognize the back of that head, but he knew that he was right when he met Tim's eyes. Casually, Dean slid into the booth beside Tim, his arms resting on the back of the seat behind Tim's shoulders.

He gave Tony a fake smile, "Anthony DiNozzo, I take it."

Tony looked at him suspiciously before he turned back to Tim. "You know this guy, Probie."

"He has a name," Dean said calmly. "And it's not Probie. So I suggest you use it, Junior."

Tony's head snapped to Dean, "What did you just say?"

"I said he has a name, so use it." Dean smirked, "Junior."

Tony ground his teeth together. "How can I be Junior if I'm older than you?"

"So you do admit that you're middle aged." Tim chuckled.

"I am not middle aged," Tony ground out, "And I didn't come here to get picked on by some stranger!"

"Then why did you come here, Tony?" Tim asked.

"I . . . don't know." Tony sat back. "You've been on the team for seven years, Tim. And then out of nowhere you just up and quit, not wanting to see anyone from NCIS, not even Abby. Screening your calls and you're never at your apartment."

"Screening my calls?" Tim asked, confused. "No one has called since I quit."

"Ooh," Dean didn't look the least bit guilty. "You could say that I had a hand in that." Tim hit him in the chest as a repercussion for his actions, but that just caused Dean smirk even harder.

"Who are you?" Tony asked again.

"Me?" Dean said, playing dumb. "I probably someone you needn't concern yourself with."

Tony just glared as he got up and left.

"You didn't have to be so rude, Dean." Tim admonished.

Dean shrugged his shoulders. "What do you want?"

"I'll have whatever you're having,"

Life was good for Tim, not like the diner food, especially the amount that Dean seemed to consume—angel or not.

note: Yes, I know the ending to this crossover sucked shit. But I would love it if you still reviewed!
