Pairing: DiNozzo/McGee
Prompt: I love some great Tony and Tim fluff. A story where they are just starting their relationship or realizing that they are in love always transforms me in to a puddle of goo. Maybe some bonding over movie night? I love it when Tim takes charge of the situation.
Rating: Mature
Summary: Tony is a ladies’ man but when McGee sees him being receptive toward a man he has to wonder if his tastes are more varied than he thought. That line of thought opens some doors and McGee decides that if Tony also likes men he’s got just as good a shot as anyone.

Notes: This story is dedicated to Miss Barbara. I wrote this story based off her prompt for the White Elephant Exchange. I hope you like what I’ve done with your prompt and enjoy the story. This is written from McGee’s POV and takes place anytime after season three. The only thing that indicates that is the presence of Ziva. I mention one thing from another season but it’s vague enough that I wouldn’t consider it a spoiler. So long story short (too late) even if you’ve only seen the first episode this should be safe to read.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
McGee looked down at his drink grumbling. He looked toward the bar again not able to help himself. Tony was waiting on the group’s next round of drinks and was currently being chatted up by some guy. McGee could tell even at this distance, with no idea what they were saying, that the guy was flirting with Tony. McGee looked back down at his drink as Tony flashed the smile he normally used to try to get into a woman’s pants.
The main cause behind McGee’s annoyance was confusion. Tony liked women; all races, all colors, all creeds, but all women. Why was Tony suddenly so receptive to the attentions of this man? Why hadn’t Tony automatically blown the guy off or punched him in the face when he’d made a pass? McGee fidgeted with his drink failing to notice that his teeth were grinding together. Despite his annoyance McGee looked up again, tormenting himself once more by watching them flirt.
McGee looked Tony’s admirer up and down with distaste. ‘Look at that guy with his perfect hair and perfect smile. His fancy clothes are probably made by some gay French designer. He’s so perfect it’s sickening. Mr. Tall dark and handsome with a slim body worthy of envy.’ All of a sudden McGee’s annoyance deflated. He looked back down at the table feeling defeated. ‘Tony was classically handsome. In truth beautiful if a man could be called such. Mr. Tall dark and handsome was the type of guy Tony should be with if he was going to be with a man.’
McGee just refrained from jumping in his seat when their next round of drinks hit the table with a thud. He looked to his left at the annoying sound of a chair scrapping against the floor. Tony shot him a wide grin when their eyes connected. McGee just frowned slightly before looking back down at the table. He was already depressed enough and he didn’t need Tony bothering him with endless teasing. ‘Even though you kind of like it.’ He firmly told his internal voice to take a hike.
Tony started to get into a heated battle with Ziva over something concerning their last case so McGee let himself zone out. After forcing down two more drinks he made his escape. The rest of the group seemed shocked at his early departure but he insisted that he was just fatigued from the busy workday. It was only a twenty minute drive before he found himself at his apartment. He went in the kitchen and threw together a bowl of cereal. The hour was still too early for bed so he logged into one of his games. Tony’s acceptance of another man’s attentions was still on his mind but the game helped him to not dwell on his still non-existent chances with his friend.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
McGee marched into his apartment throwing his things on the armchair in his living room. He flopped down on the couch still trying to get over his shock at what he’d just witnessed at work. Tony was using his charm to get information as was his common technique when things took a strange turn. It was just the two of them at the run down hotel. The other two members of their team were questioning another suspect across town.
They had just left the hotel lobby after questioning their suspect when Tony’s eye caught sight of a woman. That wasn’t the unusual part. What was unusual was that the woman would be considered a plus size. McGee was used to Tony salivating over women who were in the single dress size range so he stood dumbfounded for a few minutes as he watched Tony work his magic. It wasn’t long before Tony walked back to McGee triumphantly flashing a card with the woman’s number on the back. McGee had questioned him about his approach.
Tony had given him an odd look asking if he thought the woman wasn’t attractive. McGee had shaken his head automatically. There was no denying the woman had been beautiful but he was still confused by Tony’s interest. When he caught onto McGee’s point Tony had flashed him a smile and told him that sometimes a man liked having something to hold onto. With a pat to McGee’s shoulder, a wink, and a leer back toward the woman in question Tony had walked back to the car.
After that McGee had been in his own world. The thought that Tony felt that way kept circling in his mind and he had to wonder if he would feel the same way if it was a man. He started to have the dangerous thought that maybe Tony would be interested in someone like him. Blinking rapidly suddenly he forced his mind away from the subject and moved to his computer. The cure to eliminating his swirling thoughts was some senseless gaming violence.
He turned his computer on and went to turn on his game only to have a loading symbol pop up. He blew out an annoyed breath before opening a new window to check his email. He was just getting ready to click on the link to sign in to his mail when he saw the main article featured on the page. There was a picture of a couple laughing together and underneath the photo was a link to an article titled ‘How to tell if a man is interested in you.’ McGee looked around self consciously as he contemplated clicking on the link.
He knew it was ridiculous since he was alone but for some reason he still felt the need for the cursory glance. The image of Tony barging into his apartment or Gibbs appearing out of nowhere had him cringing. Once he was absolutely certain the coast was clear he moved his cursor over the link. He sat for a minute just staring at the screen. Finally after telling himself he was being ridiculous he clicked on the link.
He read through the article and felt shocked when he finished it. Most of the indicators they listed fit with Tony. He pushed the thought away after a moment though. These types of articles were designed for a woman and he was sure it didn’t mean anything if it matched up for two men. He was getting ready to go back to the main page so he could check his email when he saw more links at the bottom of the page. Despite himself his interest was piqued as he read over the headlines of the articles.
He moved his cursor over the links as he decided which article to read if any when he finally found one of interest. A page came up featuring a couple who were looking away from each other in anger. The article was titled ’10 Easy Steps to Improve Communication in a Relationship.’ McGee read on and had to agree they had a good handle on how guys felt when having a talk. At least they were accurate concerning most of the men he knew.
The next few hours passed by quickly as he found himself reading article after article. Once he had read almost everything that interested him he contemplated going to another website that did include same sex couples. At the last minute he chickened out and closed the window. He looked at the log in screen for his game but decided to just shut the computer down when he noticed the time. All of this was foolish thinking. Tony would never go for someone like him and he was just setting himself up for a downfall.
He closed the game log in screen but did the opposite of what his brain was telling him by going back online. This time he went to a search engine to look for same sex websites. He found a website similar to the one he’d just been on and started to read their articles. It didn’t take long before McGee saw that a lot of the information was similar. He was a little shocked but it helped to confirm that maybe he did stand a chance. That little hope was even more dangerous than his thoughts though so he went to close the window only to pause when he caught sight of a link.
The article was titled ‘The Joys of Being a Chubby Chaser.’ McGee had clicked on the link almost before he was aware of what he was doing. He started to read the article fearful of what it would say. Surprisingly by the time he was finished he didn’t feel soul crushing self consciousness but hopeful that just maybe he did stand a chance. The writer of the article definitely had an affinity toward heavier men but he had to wonder how many men agreed with him.
Noticing a comments section he scrolled down and started to read the responses to the article. McGee’s eyebrows lifted in surprise as he read the numerous posts where the reader’s voiced their agreement. He felt his face heat slightly at reading the more graphic responses. After reading the last post he looked at the websites sidebar looking over the articles similar to the one he just read. His eyes caught on a certain article and nervously he clicked the link.
The slight redness in his cheeks deepened to tomato red when a picture of two men in the doggy style position came into his view. McGee forced his eyes upward to read the first part of the ‘5 Classic Sexual Positions That Give Maximum Pleasure’ article. He read until he once more reached the first picture then scrolled down slightly. The article went on to explain under the photo how to get into the position, why it was so pleasurable, and how deep the partner on top could penetrate. McGee moved on to the next position which he recognized immediately as the missionary position.
He continued until he’d finished the article. With his face practically burning from his blush he saved the page in his favorites menu. He clicked on another link shifting slightly in his seat. The small movement caused his pants to pinch his groin. He reached down to adjust himself quickly more than a little embarrassed at his arousal. The subject matter probably would have caused a reaction but it didn’t help that the men in the photos seemed to really be enjoying themselves.
He focused once more on the screen when another article entitled, ‘10 Sexual Positions You’ve Never Heard Of Before’ opened in the window. As he read he had to agree that some of them were unique. On the opposite side of the spectrum some of the positions actually made him cringe while other’s caused him to tilt his head wondering how they were physically possible. He saved that page to his curious nature too interested not to at least attempt a few of them. He blushed again as that thought crossed his mind.
The most he’d ever done with another man had been some minor groping and that hadn’t been since MIT. The thought of actually going further was daunting, as much as it was exciting. He wasn’t sure if this was a good idea but he knew that he had to at least try. If Tony’s tastes were so diverse then why couldn’t he like McGee? He might not be classically handsome like Tony but he was attractive.
Not just attractive but adorable. He’d been called adorable by numerous women he’d dated. The goal now was just to make Tony see what they had seen. He looked back to the sidebar and grinned when he saw an article that just might help him to accomplish his goal. Clicking on the link the article ‘How to Make Yourself Irresistible to Men’ opened up in the window. McGee read the article soaking up the information. It had some good points but he felt like it might not be thorough enough.
Going back to the previous website he was on he got the female perspective on seducing a man and between the two he was able to develop a game plan. Once more seeing the time his eyes widened as he realized how late it was. He shut down his computer before hurriedly getting ready for bed. In two days time he would be off for the weekend and if all went well he would be able to start implementing his seduction on Tony. The first step, clothes shopping.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
McGee waded through the numerous people crowding the hallways of the mall. He looked around briefly spotting a bench and made his way over. Once he was seated he opened the plastic bag he’d brought with him to pull out several men’s magazines. He opened one of them then pulled out his notebook and a pen. As he flipped through the magazines he wrote down the clothing on the models that he liked. It took a half an hour to go through all the magazines but McGee thought the time was useful since he now had an idea what to add to his wardrobe.
Even though he no longer needed them McGee collected the magazines before heading to the nearest clothing store. It was another three hours before McGee once more sat down on a bench in the hallway of the mall. He was assaulted by the bags he carried as he drew his arms closer to himself. Looking down at the various bags that covered his lower half he groaned thinking about how massive his credit card bill was going to be. He didn’t know how Tony wore designer clothes all the time. This one excursion was going to put a significant dent in his next paycheck.
After taking a few minutes to catch his breath he once more abandoned the mall’s bench. The clothes shopping had been a pain but he still had one more stop to make. A stop that he feared would be a very painful experience. He found the place he was looking for and before entering took a steeling breath. Walking up to the neatly decorated counter a dark haired woman greeted him with a warm smile. “What can I do for you today sir?”
McGee looked around the room slightly nervous but brought his gaze back to the woman after a few seconds. “I came to have the tips of my hair frosted.” The woman looked down in her appointment book before looking back to McGee. “Okay wonderful. I don’t have anything scheduled for two hours. Follow me.” McGee followed nervously setting down his bags in a pile under her station before sitting down in the chair the woman indicated. He looked at himself in the mirror trying to ignore how uncomfortable he looked. As the woman neared him he focused on her nametag. He looked toward the mirror again when Doreen started to run her hands through his short hair.
“Did you want a shampoo as well?” McGee connected their eyes in the mirror relaxing slightly as she maintained her kind expression. “No thank you. I took a shower this morning.” Doreen nodded before she reached over and wrapped a smock around McGee’s front. Then she reached forward to grab a bottle. McGee jumped slightly when the first spray of cool water hit his head. Doreen gave his shoulder a comforting pat. “It’s alright hon. Try to relax. I’m not going to hurt you.”
McGee laughed slightly feeling more than a little silly. “I’m sorry I’m so jumpy. I’ve gone to a barber all my life so being in a salon is somewhat nerve wracking. My father would disown me if he knew I was here. He’s a real meat and potatoes sort of guy.” McGee was sure his father would do a lot worse if he knew that McGee wanted to sleep with another man, but he didn’t know Doreen well enough to divulge that information. As a matter of fact he wasn’t sure he knew anyone well enough to reveal that tidbit.
Doreen gave a slight chuckle making her face crease with years of laugh lines. “I can understand that hon. I grew up in the Midwest and it took years before my father would let me anywhere near him with scissors.” McGee smiled finding himself really relaxing for the first time since he’d stepped into the salon. The process was a little lengthier then he would have imagined but he knew it would be worth it if he could catch Tony’s attention. When Doreen was finally done McGee had to admit that she did a great job.
He touched his head gently and thought about coming back the next time he needed a trim. As it stood he still hadn’t found a barber that cut his hair the way he liked it cut. “This looks great Doreen. Thank you.” Doreen smiled as she pulled off the smock. “Thank you hon. It’s a good look on you.” McGee mumbled a, ‘Thanks’ past his embarrassment as they headed back toward the counter. McGee paid the bill giving Doreen a generous tip before finally leaving the mall.
The sun was setting as he made his way to the bus stop. He thought about what he wanted for dinner and quickly abandoned cooking anything in his fridge. The trip to the mall had been exhausting. He flipped open his phone and went to his phone book. After a brief search he found the number to his favorite Chinese food place. He hit a button and the phone automatically dialed the saved number. He placed an order making sure it would be done by the time he reached his apartment.
McGee’s timing ended up being perfect. The food he’d ordered arriving only five minutes after he’d cleared the door. He paid the delivery man before heading into the living room with his food. In a move that probably wasn’t good for the couch McGee flopped down onto the cushions. He leaned back with a sigh putting his feet on the coffee table in the next instant. Once he had his food open with a fork sticking out of the noodles he turned on his TV.
He flipped through a few channels before stopping on ‘Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man.’ The movie was towards the end but he still watched it loving their films. After the credits ended McGee discovered that the channel he was on was having a marathon of their films. He smiled slightly settling in for the near future. As the opening credits started to play for ‘The Time of Their Lives’ McGee glanced toward the numerous bags pilled on his armchair.
‘I wonder if Tony is watching this marathon at his house.’ It wouldn’t surprise him. Moving his gaze back toward the screen, he wondered if there would ever come a time, when it would be common for them to settle on the couch together after a long day to watch movies. He hoped so.
