It was finally movie night in the Gibbs household. Every Friday night, after the long week of working, you and Jethro would host a "family" movie night. Tony, Ziva, Tim and Abby would always join, even Ducky would come sometimes. As much to Jethro's disgust of having to socialise more with the people he already worked with (This of course did not apply to you, you were the only person he liked to see outside of work, and Ducky sometimes) he sucked it up just for your sake. They were your friends after all. 

This week it was your turn to pick a movie, so of course you chose The Presidio. It was your favourite movie of all time. No one else besides Jethro had seen the movie, so you were super excited for them to watch it. Jethro was not as impressed. You could see the sour mood he was in. 
"Do you not like The Presidio Jethro?" You ask curiously, he had always told you he loved the movie, but you had a feeling he hated it. 
"I don't think words even exist for how much I hate this movie" He answered honestly. Your mouth dropped. He quickly realised what he had said. "I- I didn't mean that-" He added quickly. 
"Yes you did" You reply "We aren't together anymore, I'm filing for a divorce" You add as a joke.
"I- I liked the movie enough to watch it with you every night for a week straight!" He says in defence. 
"No you like me enough to watch it with me" You reply, starting the movie. 
"More like I love you enough to watch it with you" He remarks, pulling you back onto the couch and under his arm. 
"Are you both done? The movie is starting" Tony says, Ziva wrapped under his arm while they lay on the floor. 
"Do you still want a job tomorrow DiNozzo?" Jethro says, his "Gibbs voice" making its first appearance for the night.
"Uh- yes Boss, I'll shut up now" Tony replies, sinking further into the floor. 

Not even half way through the movie you were passed out in Jethro's lap. His hand, under his hoodie that you stole, rubbing your side as you doze soundly. Abby was wide awake, watching the movie with such intensity that Jethro could have sworn she was obsessed. Tony was very quiet throughout the movie, Jethro wondered if he was even awake. Ziva had definitely fallen asleep earlier in the movie. Even Jethro was starting to feel a little tired. Not even 20 minutes later Jethro was also sleep. He had moved to laying down on the couch with you before he had fallen asleep. You were fulled tightly to his chest. 

"Surely I'm not the only one who finds it weird seeing Gibbs so, relaxed and well, happy..." Tony asks quietly, making sure not to wake either you nor Jethro. 
"He's not as high strung as you see him Tony. So while seeing Jethro so relaxed is weird to us, this is the normal for them" Ducky replies, saying probably the first full sentence since he arrived. "As long as Jethro is happy that is all that matters" 

After the movie finishes everyone quietly packs everything up and excuses themselves to go home. Ducky waits till everyone has left before throwing a blanket over you and Jethro, and turning all the lights off. 
"Goodnight you too" He says before leaving. The door closing seemed to wake Jethro up, he pulls you in tighter. Slightly opening his eyes to see that everything had already been packed up and everyone had left. He smiled to himself before cuddling back into you and falling asleep.

If you have not watched The Presidio (1988) yet then 1. I'm disappointed and 2. I order you to go watch it right now. Young Mark Harmon definitely has it out for me 😩 I loved this movie and had to figure out a way to somehow write about it 😎 Also very sorry for the short chapter 🫣 I was tired 😪
