Atta Boy
For zortified: Gibbs POV, ep tag for "Iced".

He was walking to his car when Tony caught him. "Boss," he said, jogging over. "You got a minute?"

Gibbs kept walking, but nodded. "What's up, DiNozzo?"

Tony fell into step with him. "Am I coming over tonight?" he asked quietly.

"Do you want to?" Gibbs reached his car and turned to face Tony. "After--"

"Yeah, Boss. I saw the news." Tony rubbed the back of his neck. "And if you think that one person in that room didn't know what happened, you're an idiot. If you think that one person in that room cared, you're even more so." Tony glared at Gibbs. "So don't use that as an excuse."

Gibbs wondered when Tony had started being able to read him so well. "All right," he said, opening the car door. "Pick up some dinner on your way over?"

"Indian okay?" Tony asked. "There's this little place on the way--really good curry."

"Sounds fine." Gibbs nodded.

"Oh, and Gibbs?" Tony grinned.

"What?"

"Don't ever pet me in public again."
