Can't Hurt Us

“Coffin? You said it was a box sofa bed.”
“Well, it is… sort of.”
“That’s why you wouldn’t turn the lights on. I can’t believe I slept in a coffin.”
“Not just slept.”
Abby had always been a bit of an enigma for him. She had been his little puzzle since the day they met in person for the first time. He wouldn’t have her any other way. After all they had stuck by each other through thick and thin over the years. Abby was the emotional one and their boss’ favorite. Which made him the sensible one who rarely let his emotions come into play. He was the federal agent after all.
“Hey McGee, take a look at this! I think it’s a .308.”
“Stop staring at my butt and get me an evidence jar!”
McGee hated that he got caught by her that night. What was worse than being caught by Abby for staring at her and acting like Tony was being busted by Gibbs.
“I don’t know, maybe it’s being alone with you on a rainy night.”
Abby knew she could get away with just about anything with McGee. They were friends. Plus if he had said anything they both knew who she would run to in a heartbeat. So the intervening years from when they had a relationship while Kate was still alive to now things were just pure casual with the slight hint of playing hard to get on both parts. But like any couple, McGee and Abby had their ups and downs. Through it all they both knew that the other really cared.
“Abby, this is not just another random suspect. This guy is very bad news. I something were to happen to you, I’d….”
“You’d what McGee?”
At that point things just snowballed. McGee and Abby were back together. And just like Tony and Ziva, they were hiding their relationship. Gibbs would kill if he found out what was going on. But then again no one was sure what Gibbs would do if he knew what was going on between his younger counterparts. It was better to be safe than sorry.
