Forced Forgiveness

Title: Forced Forgiveness
Pairing/Rating/Warning: NCIS fandom, Gibbs/DiNozzo,  spoilers for "Hiatus", rated R
Word Count: 200
Summary:  DiNozzo is going to forgive Gibbs, no matter what.  Gibbs will make sure of that.
Author's Note: Written for the [community profile] slashthedrabble challenge, forgiven

I admit it.  I screwed up.  I quit, probably in the gruffest, most painful way possible.  I said “You’ll do,” handed him my badge and gun and left him standing there, looking like I’d just punched him in the gut.

I should have said goodbye.  I should have said thank you.  I should have told him he was a good agent, that he was my friend, my lover and given him the respect and trust he always gave me.

But I didn’t.

I’m back now, but he doesn’t look at me way that he used to.  His eyes are cold and distant, his tone clipped and careful.  He acts like there was never anything between us but the job.  Every interaction is terribly professional now.  And I can’t find the words to make things right.

But I was never one for words. 

So I fall back to what I am good at.  Actions.  I’ll make him understand why I did what I did.  And why he needs to forgive me.  I look down at him; naked and tied to the bed, the sleeping pill I slipped him starting to wear off.  It’ll take some work, but he’ll be mine again.

Well, feel free to throw NCIS things my way if you ever want another set of eyes or an American beta. My email's my username at gmail.com

Can I throw random unfinished and unedited pieces of NCIS fiction at you so that you can tell me if they're worth keeping, too? *shifty eyes*

Wheee! American beta! Probably a very good idea if I'm writing stuff in an American fandom. My English is closer to British than American slang sometimes, I guess.

Thanks for the offer! *bounces happily*

sure- throw away- just let me know what sort of critique you are looking for (line by line editing, overall impressions, etc)

if (okay, when) I throw pieces of fic at you, it'll be for an overall impression. actual beta is for finished stuff *nods* *bounces*

oh, I know! can I send you the beginning of the spain!fic? so that you can tell me if it's being way too melodramatic or if it's actually worth keeping? *bounces some more*
