Prequel:How to Deal with Unruly Subordinates Who Happen to Be Your Lover
***
The four subordinates looked over at the table where their lovers/bosses were chatting. Speed looked over at his three companions. “Oh, really?”
Tony snorted into his coffee. “I hate to burst Jethro’s bubble, but I fucked him into the mattress last night.”
Danny snickered. “They complain about us getting into trouble?”
“I do not attract psychos from a ten mile radius,” Nick growled slightly.
“Actually Nick, you do,” Speed smirked at him. “Come on, you’re the only CSI I know that has been tossed out of a window, stalked and buried.”
Nick narrowed his eyes at the Miami CSI. “Yeah well….”
Tony laughed. “Though I’ll admit Gil is worse.”
“Thank you!” Nick shook his head. “Mister ‘I just wanted to talk to the serial killer’.”
“Hey, can’t be as bad as, ‘I’ll just give myself up as a hostage’ and the second B is for bastard.” Tony sipped his coffee.
“Hello!” Danny looked at the two of them. “Pissed off the mob.”
“Guys,” Speed smirked. “I win this one. Horatio has not only pissed off the mob, he’s pissed off IAB, a few drug cartels, hell he has two hits on his head and on the lab! He ran his Hummer through an exploding building and did I mention the ‘use me as a target’ to catch a sniper?”
“Well, Gibbs has pissed off every agency there is,” Tony added.
“The sheriff hates Gil.” Nick looked at the two of them.
“Mac’s taken on the whole police force, mainly to protect me, but still…” Danny shrugged.
“Face it, our bosses are trouble magnets,” Tony sighed. “And they think we are.”
“Well Nick is,” Speed smirked. “And so is Danny.”
“HEY!” both yelled.
Speed and Tony laughed at the two indignant responses.
“I know he loves me,” Danny sighed. “But the overprotectiveness is a bit much.”
Nick rolled his eyes. “I wasn’t allowed out of the lab for six weeks and still even now can’t go to a scene alone.”
“Gibbs trusts me out alone at a scene; but he doesn’t trust others to back me up.” Tony shook his head. “He feels only he can fully protect me.”
“How do Tim and Ziva take that?” Danny asked.
“Ziva gets all irritated.” Tony rolled his eyes. “McGee knows I trust him to back me up and that’s all he cares about.”
“Mac only sends me out with Stella or Hawkes, and if I’m with Hawks I get Don as a detective,” Danny grinned. “The irony is they think we don’t notice.”
“How about you, Speed?” Nick asked.
“It’s not the field work that Horatio hovers over,” Speed sighed. “It’s past issues.”
“Does he check it often?” Tony wondered.
“He set a cleaning schedule.” Speed smiled. “He watches me clean it and it helps me knowing he’s watching.”
“Honestly, if it wasn’t for Mac,” Danny sighed. “He helps when the ‘Messer’ history becomes too much.”
“Has he ever talked to papa Messer?” Nick asked. “I’m lucky my parents knew I was bi and didn’t mind Gil. Though there was a fight after the buried alive situation. They wanted to take me home to Texas and Gil fought them.”
“They do take care of us.” Tony grinned. “I’m not supposed to know about it, but Jethro confronted my father.”
“Horatio intercepted a call from my mother one day,” Speed grinned. “And no I don’t know anything about it.”
Danny laughed. “I love how they think we don’t know what they are doing.”
“But that’s half the fun.” Mac leaned over and kissed Danny on the top of the head. “So, are you four done conspiring?”
“No,” they all responded.
“You four can go back and chat about keeping us controlled while we plot.” Tony smirked.
“Ow.” He glared at Gibbs, who had just smacked him.
“Let’s go, Tony we’ve got a plane to catch.” Jethro grabbed his lover pulling him out of the chair.
“Ohhh, mile high club boss,” Tony leered at him.
Jethro smirked. “The trip out here wasn’t enough?”
Tony grinned as he got up. “Can we practice in the cab?”
“Didn’t I wear you out last night?” Jethro pushed him towards the door.
The other three snickered.
“Come on, Danny…” Mac pulled the young man out of the chair.
“But we don’t have a plane to catch, we live here,” Danny pointed out.
“Well, I was thinking we could take a walk in central…..” Mac was pulled out of the restaurant.
Speed looked at Nick. “Danny did always have that kink of public sex.”
Nick blushed. “So does Gil.”
“Oh really…” Speed grinned.
“Nick.” Gil covered Nick’s mouth before he could divulge any more secrets. “Horatio it was good talking with you again.”
Horatio grinned, his hand on Speed’s shoulder. “We’ll have to get together soon.”
“Yes,” Gil smiled. “It was very helpful to talk with y’all.”
Nick looked up at Gil snickering. “Y’all?”
“Goodbye.” Gil grabbed his laughing lover and, with a dignity only Gil Grissom could pull off, walked out the door.
Speed stood up, tossing his napkin onto the table. “Shall we?”
”I’ve got a surprise for you.” Horatio led him out of the restaurant.
“What?” Speed asked smiling.
“We’re staying for a few more days.” Horatio smiled at him. “Just you and me.”
Next Week
Nick grinned as he held the phone up to his ear. “Sounds like a great vacation.”
“It was.” Speed still couldn’t keep the smile off his face. “Have you let Gil off the hook yet?”
“Hell no,” Nick laughed. “I rarely get something that good.”
“Did we mess something?” Tony asked over the conference call.
“Gil said and I quote ‘y’all’,” Speed informed them.
Danny’s laughter could be heard echoing in the room he was in. “I’m sorry I missed it!”
“It was priceless,” Nick smirked.
“You know we forgot something important,” Tony said between laughter.
“What?” Speed asked.
“How to Handle Stubborn Supervisors Who Happen to Be Your Lover?” Tony asked.
“Easy,” Danny said. “You make them think they are handling you by fucking you into the mattress.”
Speed laughed. “I see and in reality?”
“We’ve got them wrapped around our ….” Tony’s phone went dead.
“Gotta go.” Speed hung up fast.
“Danny?” Nick looked at his phone then turned around. “Gil.”
