Previous story in series - Hard Decisions

 ______________

Tony put the box down in the living room at his apartment. He sighed heavily.

“Well, at least I get to sleep in tomorrow,” Tony said out loud to the empty room. He slumped back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Tony knew he had made the right decision, he just wished that he didn’t have to make it. Gibbs was being a bastard all week and he couldn’t handle it. Things were not the same, not anymore. Gibbs wasn’t being himself with Tony. He didn’t even slap his head, which Tony craved. He wanted to go to Gibbs’ house. He wanted to submit again to his Master. But Gibbs just threw his submission back in Tony’s face. That was what he couldn’t handle. He needed to be in his right place, to serve and to submit to Gibbs, the one he loved so much. The one who gave him what he needed, and now Tony wasn’t getting it.

When Gibbs came back, Tony actually thought that they would pick it up where they left it off but then Gibbs dropped his bombshell and told Tony that he didn’t want to do it anymore. That Gibbs didn’t feel he deserved to be his Master. Tony snorted. He knew that Shannon was Gibbs’ first submissive and that he loved her very much. Tony respected that. He just wished that Gibbs saw what Tony saw in himself, that Gibbs deserved to love again, that he deserved to be someone’s Master again, if only not him.

Tony opened his eyes and leaned forward, sighing heavily. He didn’t want to think anymore about Gibbs and went to get the phone.

Tony needed to call Abby and McGee and ask them over so that he could explain things to them. It was the least he could do for them, they deserved a proper goodbye.

* * * *

“You...you are leaving?” Abby cried.

Tony shifted in his armchair and put his arms out and Abby ran to him.

“I need to, Abby,” Tony whispered. McGee was sitting on the sofa opposite, probably in shock.

“There was so much tension in the air, like a knife could cut it,” Tony tried to explain. Apart from Jenny, Abby and McGee were the only other two who knew about him and Gibbs. But Jenny didn’t know that Tony was Gibbs’ sub. Only Abby and McGee did.

“I know. I’m so sorry. I can’t understand why Gibbs is being like he is. He is...” Abby sobbed, and Tony stroked Abby’s hair. “Shush...it will be okay, I promise.”

Suddenly McGee looked up. “I didn’t mean what I said earlier...”

Tony frowned and was about to ask what he was talking about when McGee interrupted, “Of course, you were rated a team of your own. You were an excellent team leader. I-I just wanted to wind you up, that’s all. I’m sorry...”

Tony smiled. “It’s okay, Tim. I knew you didn’t mean it.”

“Yeah, but still, I shouldn’t have said it,” McGee protested but Tony shook his head, telling him that it was fine and that he was forgiven. McGee nodded and looked down to the floor.

“Come on, it’s not going to be that bad! I’m not going far and we will still keep in touch,” Tony tried to reassure Abby and McGee. He lifted Abby and carried her to the sofa where McGee was.

“You both will be okay, you’ve got each other,” Tony said as he sat down, with Abby sitting on his lap, resting her head on Tony’s shoulder.

“But it won’t be the same without you,” Abby replied. McGee mumbled in agreement.

Tony put an arm around McGee’s neck and pulled him close. “I will miss you both a lot, but we will keep in touch, promise?”

“Pinky pinkie!” Abby giggled as she held her hand up and Tony laughed. He put his hand up, and looked to McGee who shook his head.

“Oh, don’t be a spoilsport, Tim!” Abby chided McGee who rolled his eyes. “Just for you, Miss.”

Abby squealed as McGee put his hand forward and together they made promises with gestures of pinkie pinkies.

Tony grinned at both of his friends and family. He pulled Abby and McGee together and hugged them tightly.

“Tony, you are smothering me!” McGee spluttered as Tony let go and laughed.

“Sorry, McGeek.”

McGee groaned, and shook his head. “You quit and still call me McGeek?”

“I will never change, McGenuis,” Tony grinned as Abby laughed at the playful banter between the two guys.

“What are you going to do now?” McGee asked, changing the subject.

“Well, Jenny offered me a team of my own,” Tony enjoyed watching the reactions from McGee and Abby as they gasped and stared at Tony.

“You serious?” McGee looked at Tony, shocked. Tony nodded.

“Yeah, but it was in Spain and I couldn’t be away from you two so I’ve called an old buddy of mine, we went to the Police Academy together. He said there was an opening at the NYPD so I thought I would go and see if I can get the job,” Tony answered.

“You’re going to be a cop again?” Abby asked, surprised. “I would have thought that you would go in FBI or something?”

“Nah, I have had enough of federal services. And besides, being a cop is what I’m best at so...” Tony trailed off.

“But...New York?” Abby wailed. “I hoped you would still be in DC!”

“I couldn’t let Gibbs to come after me and try to persuade me, Abby,” Tony said. “And I don’t want you two to tell him, either.”

“But...” Abby started to protest but McGee placed a hand on Abby’s shoulder.

“We should respect Tony’s wishes, Miss,” McGee told his beloved Mistress. “And at least, he’s not moving too far.”

Abby nodded sadly. Tony smiled at McGee, and mouthed a thank you.

They stayed the night, with popcorn and movies. It was nearly midnight when Abby and McGee left. Abby had to be carried down to McGee’s car as she was crying hard. Tony held the tears back as they left.

When the door closed behind him, Tony finally broke down and cried.
