Hello everyone if you are familiar with my work then you know I have only attempted General Hospital shippings, this NCIS story will be Tabby. I was going to do a Gabby FF since I am a die hard shipper for them but I decided not too. Thank your for reading, and I will have a poll on my page for you guys so you can let me know if you like my story or not. [-Review please!-]

Special Agent Rino was a tall, silver fox like Gibbs, well not just like Gibbs. They couldn't be identical, no two things in this world is identical. Even twins weren't identical! But I digress, Special Agent Rino was here on a case and was having me run lab work on some blood that was found in a downtown crime scene. I had called to imform him that my 'friends' (computers) were almost done and that he could be on his way. We had been talking for almost a hour about my art work on the walls. When Gibbs and Tony strolled in, Gibbs with his usual swagger and stern look and Tony and his adorable smile. Gibbs slammed a cup of Caf Pow! on the table and turned towards the screen.

"What do you have for me Abby?" Were his most famous words used here, he could always sense when I had something.

My hands were a blur as I snatched the cup up and brought it to my lips, it had been too long. It had been two hours since I had a Caf-Pow! My eyes closed as the sweetness hit my tongue. It was so good that a small moan escaped my mouth.

Gibbs cleared his voice, "Abby"

My eyes popped open to see all three men staring at me. Their cheeks all a deep pink. Tony grinned pulling at his collar, "Was it just me or did the temperture just rise about twenty degrees in here?"

Gibbs grabbed me by the shoulders and steered me towards my computer, "I need results, now"

My hands began to work on the keyboard, "And results you will receive Gibbs!"

Gibbs stayed behind me, I felt the warmth his body was giving off underneath my lab coat. He placed his hands beside mine. "Who is he?"

"A friend" I answered vaguely.

"Abby" He warned.

"He's Special Agent Rino, an old friend of mine, I'm running some basic forensics for him since his stations lab is backed up. The director said it was okay"

"What do you mean by...old friend?" Gibbs pressed.

"Aw Gibbs tell me your not going deaf already" I teased, I printed out his results and moved under his arm to pick them up from the printer for him. With a quick annoyed glance at S.A. Rino he grabbed the results and left with Tony towing behind him

Rino whistled when he heard the ding signaling the elevator was closed, "Is that your boyfriend?"

I was shocked, "Gibbs! He's my boss, he's Gibbs!"

"Okay then what was he whispering to you about?" Rino crossed his arms, "He gave me the creepiest stare when he left"

I played with my fingers, tapping the beat of my ever blasting music on my palm "He just wanted to know who you were, Gibbs can be very territorial over his team" I chuckled, "Gibbs didn't like when any one messed with his team he was like a dog protecting his own little fire hydrant" Rino's eyebrows shot up, "That came out wrong"

"Listen Abby, I wanted to know i you wre free tonight" Rino looked visibly nervous, his cheeks were even redder. A sign of embarssment perhaps?

My head tilted to the side, "Are you asking me out?"

He scratched the top of his head, "Truth is Abigal, I 've been wanting to ask you out since I first met you"

That was surprising, I had never noticed any interest from him at all. I nodded my head, "What time?"

Rino blinked, standing up striaghter "Around eight possibly?"

I smiled, "I should be done around here then, it's a date" I haven't gone on a date in months, being so busy with NCIS. Not saying I don't love my job but a girl needs her social life.

"What's a date?" Ziva asked on her way in, she was holding manila envelope. I already knew what it was, and it was very important. The envelope was from Director Vance about a case he wanted my expertise with. which was very 'delicate' were his words. I'm not going to lie, I had a slight high from hearing so many compliments in two sentences about me.

"I asked Abby on a date and she said yes" Rino explained, seeming more confident by the second.

"Congradulations" Ziva said, handing me the envelope and receding out of the door, after taking another peek at Rino.


I was cleaning up my lab, getting ready to leave when Tony walked in. He swaggered (if that's what you called his 'big boy walk') on over to me and looked in dismay as I scrubbed my table.

He made a funny face, "Ah, cleaning. I hate doing that stuff"

"You clean? I always thought you just pushed everything under your bed." I teased, poking him in the chest. He catched my hand and held it to his chest.

"Who is this Rino guy anyway?" Tony asked, his eyes narrowing in on mine. Tony may be a goof but he was a damn good NCIS agent.

I yanked my hand away, "He's a friend, who I might start dating. I think we are dating, I mean this would be our first date."

"You like your men...."He snapped his fingers trying to find the word, "I'm just going to say it. Rino is old"

"So what? Rino is a friend of mine, I'm just going as a friend and if I end up seeing a romantic side to our friendship then I might--"

Tony look appalled, "Your not going to sleep with him are you?"

"That's none of your business, but just so you won't be laying in your bed staring at the ceiling wondering....no I'm not." I told him, why was Tony so invested in my personal life any way? I expected Gibbs to be this way not Tony. He usually stood aside with a 'your all just here for my etertainment' smile on his face. Tony was more than that of course, he wanted everyone to think he was a player but he wasn't. I knew that even if no one else carried to find out.

"I wouldn't be staring at my ceiling thinking about you Abby"

"Way to make a girl feel good about her self Tony" I said playfully, going back to wiping my table. I would have to leave soon so I could get dressed at home.

Tony walked towards the door, "I wouldn't because I usually save that for my dreams"

I turned just in time to see Tony smile before the elevator doors closed. What had gotten itnto Tony and why was my heart suddenly picking up speed?
