NCIS/Criminal Minds

Gibbs: Going Away: Angst/Fluff

You never intended to leave this job.. but they weren't giving you a choice now. You were being transferred to another country because they needed your help. You had to say goodbye to everyone that had been your family for the last four years and it was tearing your heart out. Tears and complaints had been shared the night before at a get together at Ducky's place. Everyone had tried to prevent the transfer from happening, but it was above everyone's pay grade even the directors.

Everyone else was watching as you approached Gibbs. A sob bubbling in your chest as you did and you struggled to keep it together. Gibbs was not only the heart of the team.. but he had your heart he'd stolen it the moment you'd met and you'd never had the chance to tell him, but he knew.. he always knew.

With little to no hesitation he's pulled you into his strong warm embrace and pressed a kiss to the top of your head. You lock your arms around him and hide against his chest silent tears falling from your eyes as you clung to him tighter then you'd ever clung to anyone before. Your heart was shattering beneath his touch and you weren't sure you'd survive.

"I'll miss you" he mutters softly his words they sting.. it feels like he's given up, but there's an undertone to it and you know he hasn't. But for the moment you also knew you had to let go.. you had to leave no matter how badly you didn't want to. You exhale Shakily and give him a good squeeze.

"I'm walk you out" He mutters softly keeping an arm around your waist as he leads you to the elevator. You stop and wave to the others who are hugging amongst each other with sadness. You load into the elevator once it's opened and Gibbs gets inside too.

Once the doors shut he flicks the switch and the elevator stops in place. He takes your hand and pulls you close again his other hand touches your cheek and lifts your gaze to his. "I won't give up on getting you back y/n you remember that while you're gone ok? I'll get you back as quickly as I can" He assures and tears prick your eyes again "I.. O-Okay" You stutter sadly gaze locked with his in a silent moment.

He leans down and his lips are pressed softly to yours. Your eyes flutter shut and you melt into him. Taking in the comfort the feel determined to remember this moment to make it last.

You return the kiss twisting your fingers into his shirt softly not wanting to let go. He Deepens the kiss for just a moment before he's pulled away and cupped your cheeks with both hands. He wipes away the stray tears and smiles a little "I'll bring you home again y/n right where you belong with me and the rest of the team. I promise" He says softly assuringly.

You smile weakly and he's kissed you one last time before the elevator starts to move again. You're in his arms till the doors open where you're greeted by your ride. He presses a last kiss to your cheek and opens the door for you "Remember" He states with a soft but firm look and you give a little nod "I will" You reply and the door is shut.

You sit back against the seat and during the drive to the air port you cry silently. He promised and Gibbs always keeps his word, but right now..? It just hurt..

You boarded the plane after an hour's drive and you looked out the window of the private jet sadly thinking about Gibbs and the team. You hated that you had to leave. You breath out a weak sigh looking forward to the girl explaining where you were headed and why. You offer her a weak smile and give her your attention to try and occupy your head. You'd worked with her before.. Emily.. Emily Prentiss.
