Fire

The firefighters had yet to get the fire completely under control when Tony arrived at the scene. Now he stood close enough to feel the heat of the flames as they licked the car, leaving a blackened shell.

He shuddered. He’d never be able to see a car go up in flames again without imagining himself inside, being scorched beyond all recognition.

It should’ve been him.

He should be dead.

Then again, he should be dead so many times over that it was almost absurd. He’d be very impressed if he survived to his fortieth birthday.

“You okay?”

McGee came up beside him, touching Tony’s shoulder briefly, waking Tony from his thoughts. McGee’s hand felt safe in a world of turmoil. Tony wondered how long he’d been staring at the car wreck.

“Fine, Probie,” Tony said. “Interview the witnesses. We won’t be able to get to the car until its cooled down anyway.”

McGee gave him a long look that suggested he didn’t believe Tony, that he knew something was wrong. McGee knew Tony better than Tony wanted to admit.

Besides, Tony would be fine. He was always fine.

The fire slowly died down; there was nothing left to burn.

Monday vs Friday

“I hate Mondays.”

“So you’ve said.” Gibbs took a sip of his coffee, leaning against the counter in the kitchen.

Tony glanced at him. “It’s not that I don’t like my job. It’s just that—it’s Monday. And that means it’s a whole lot of days until Friday.”

Gibbs’ eyebrow rose. “What is so good about Fridays?”

“Fridays are Fridays,” Tony said. “Didn’t anyone ever teach you that Fridays are fantastic?”

“Nope,” Gibbs said simply.

“Well, they are,” Tony said. “Friday nights are the best. The whole weekend, spread out in front of you—it’s great. A world of possibilities – you can party, take a drive someplace, or maybe spend all weekend in bed.”

“In bed, hmh?” Gibbs said, interest coloring his voice.

Tony grinned. “Yes, in bed.”

“Doing what, exactly?” Gibbs asked. Despite Gibbs’ attempt to sound indifferent, Tony heard the light teasing and curiosity.

Tony put on his best innocent face. “Oh, I don’t know… Something fun, maybe?”

Gibbs smirked. “Fun?”

“Yeah,” Tony said, coming up close. “So you agree?”

“On the whole Mondays bad, Fridays good?”

“Yeah, that,” Tony said.

“Nah,” Gibbs said. “I think we can have fun on Monday’s too.”

Tony grinned and kissed him.
