A/N: Please be kind! This is my first time ever trying to write for NCIS, let alone the wonder that is Gabby. I made this with no dialogue, because I didn't want to kill their characters horribly.

Sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it that matters.

He'd told her, in not so many words sometimes, that he loved her. He had used his hands on more than one occasion, and even once he gave her a Caf!Pow that had a heart on the straw. He gave her kisses on the cheek when she did something right, and let her know that she was his favorite out of them all. He gave her smiles and hugs and would break anyone who tried to hurt her.

If that wasn't love, then Abby wasn't really sure what was. In return for all that he gave her, she did what she could. She made him smile and laugh. She got the lab results he needed to help crack cases and perhaps ease some of his stress. She tried to stay late when he did and confided in him because she knew that it was something he wanted her to do. People just assumed that they were best friends, but deep down, they both knew it was more. Something subtle and indescribable, but completely them.

It was the Abby/Gibbs method, and she wouldn't change it for the world.
