Summary: Ducky asks Gibbs about his lapse in vocabulary. Episode tag to Requiem.
“Forgive me for being blunt, Jethro,” Ducky said in a condescending tone, “but has the word thanks escaped your vocabulary?”
“What’d’ya talking about Ducky?” Gibbs asked.
“I am talking about young Anthony. He risked his own health to pull you and Maddie from that car. And while she has shown her thanks in abundance, much to his embarrassment I might add, you have said nothing to him. Not one word.”
Gibbs had the decency to look chastised before he responded. “I don’t know what to say to him, Ducky,” he said so quietly that Ducky almost missed hearing him. “I didn’t ask him to.”
“That’s just it, Jethro… You didn’t have to ask him to do anything for you.; he just did it. He would give his life for you.”
“I know he would Duck. He is okay, isn’t he?” Gibbs changed the topic.
Ducky looked thoughtfully at him for a few moments before answering. “Physically, he will be fine.”
“Did the water do permanent damage to his lungs, Duck?” Gibbs asked around clenched teeth.
“No more than he already has Jethro. But I’m sure he could use some encouragement to take the medicine.”
“He’ll take it, or he’ll answer to me,” Gibbs said as he exited the morgue in search of Tony.
“DiNozzo, with me!” Gibbs snapped out as he breezed past the desks in the bullpen. Tony followed him to the elevator and stayed quiet as Gibbs hit the stop switch between floors.
“I didn’t ask you to do that,” Gibbs said quietly.
“Didn’t have to, Boss,” Tony said just as quietly.
Gibbs tucked a finger under Tony’s chin and tried to convey everything he had never said to Tony into one word, “Thanks.”
He felt a smile tug at his lips as Tony responded, “Got it Boss.”

I've got some rough ideas in my head to do a larger fic from this episode that is kind of in line with my "How do you solve a problem..." fic. Just gotta figure out if I want to go slash or keep it gen, that's the hard choice.
But, seriously, has any episode needed an episode tag more than "Requiem"? There was just SO much that needed to be addressed and explained and mentioned and... auuuggghhh... *deep breath* You tag was excellent.
Thanks for the vote of confidence on my slash vs. gen skills. I never thought I would write slash and usually only read it by select authors and then I found NCIS... and somehow the slash is seeping out everywhere... Don't know what it is about that show, but... ;-)
Gibbs and that lunchbox was precious- did you go online to see what was in it? Very cute.
I still can't believe there was never any mention of Tony's health or plague-damaged lungs or anything on NCIS itself, thank god for fanfic dealing with it!
Donutsweeper is right, that should have been in the show, and they should have included something about Tony and his lungs. *grumbles* I hate when they do that, when they just kind of gloss over things like that.

If only every episode could be a full length movie... *sigh*
Belated thanks! (which considering the story line is appropriate)
You know how much I love Tibbs right? and this was an nice preTibbs moment :D
I am disappointed that the "Don't make me kiss you, Boss" hasn't been brought up on the show- you *know* Gibbs heard him.
:-)
I need to do something with that line... *think think think*
Belated thanks! (which considering the story line is appropriate)

These little bits are fun to write.
