Summary:  One morning Tony finds a surprise on his desk.
Author's Note:  Written for the ncisdrabble100 challenge: Heaven and Hell.

Tony rounded the corner and stopped short.  On the middle of his desk sat a jelly donut with a cup of coffee next to it, keeping it company.  He approached it cautiously.  It looked fine, more than fine.  Fried to a perfect golden brown, its sugar coating glittered in the light and just a hint of red filling peeked out the side.    

“You gonna eat it or stare at it?”  

“Boss?”  Tony tore his gaze from the donut to look at Gibbs.  “This is from you?”

“It’s two years today, DiNozzo.” The tone was brusque, but without any heat behind it.  “Don’t make me regret it.”

Tony wasn’t sure if it was hiring him or the uncharacteristic gesture of buying him a snack that Gibbs was implying he might regret.  Knowing Gibbs it was probably both.  Either way he didn’t care.  Sinking into his chair he picked up the donut and took a bite.  He’d just closed his eyes to revel in its heavenly delight when there was a sharp slap to the back of his head.

“We got a dead marine.  Let’s go.”

Tony grabbed his backpack, the donut and the coffee.  Life couldn’t get any sweeter than this.

The growing and maturing being the important part, right?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

yes. although the other thing didn't hurt....

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I still say were were robbed in "Requiem" when he didn't get out of those wet clothes after saving Gibbs

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I think that would've saved the episode some.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and boy, was it an episode that needed saving. There were plot holes you could drive a semi through. Lots of good episode tags though

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Wet Tony was probably one of the few saving factors.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Hero!Tony too. Even if Gibbs ignored it

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

And Tony being all concerned about Gibbs taking off, even if he wouldn't admit it to anyone.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I will, however, force myself to ignore the absolutely horrendous CPR done in the episode though.

Poor Tony- he saved the day and didn't even get a thank you

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't particularly impressed with that.

He deserved at least a donut.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

what really bugged me was they made a point of reminding us about the plague and the scarring on his lungs only 5 episodes prior. And then expect us to think he'd have no effect from doing ALL that on a wintry day? Morons

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ah, plot holes.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

they needed a beta

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I think most shows need those.

I just saw that episode yesterday :D

It got these responses from my husband:
(opening scene): Tony's dreaming, right? Tell me he's dreaming!!

(When Gibbs and Ducky were 'having a moment'): And now they hug... *prompt* *prompt*

I swear he got disappointed when they didn't :D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

awww, hubby's a Ducky/Gibbs shipper!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

You laugh, yet you don't deny it...

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

He'd deny it categorically, or say he was just being my enabler or something....

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

So, if he ships Gibbs/Ducky it's alright for you to ship Gibbs/DiNozzo? (Or are you secretly a Ducky fan?)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Didn't we have this conversation the other day? A much younger Ducky I can ship but at his current age? Nuhu :O

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*backs away slowly*

Just messing with you!

*runs and hides*

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

A Ducky when he looked like Ilya Kuryakin would be awesome to play with. *Cue Captain Jack*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I alluded to it at least. Twice. That's not good enough?

OMG, I can so picture Ducky rambling on to Tony about Tony's obvious attraction to Gibbs and telling him a similar story about when he was younger and attracted to his older, more experienced boss (a certain Captain...)
