It all happened so fast. One minute we were securing the building, the next McGee and I were outrunning a bomb.
"Y/L/N!" McGee yelled. "Get down!"
I gasped when he grabbed me and pulled me to the ground, instantly covering me. We held our breaths as shrapnel and building parts showered around us.
"Thanks, McGee," I whispered.
"Anytime," he said gently. We stared at each other, none of us moving as things slowly calmed down around us.
"Y/L/N! McGee!" We heard the others call out to us. McGee looked down, his eyes widening when he realized he was still on top of me.
"Sorry," he stuttered.
"It's okay," I laughed awkwardly. He got off and pulled me to my feet. I took a step but gasped when pain shot up my leg. I would've collapsed if McGee hadn't caught me.
McGee wrapped his arms around me and walked me toward the others.
"There they are!" DiNozzo yelled. He and Gibbs ran toward us.
"Are you two hurt?" Gibbs asked.
"Y/N's hurt," McGee said. "I'm fine, but she can barely walk."
"There's an ambulance over there," Gibbs said as he took me from McGee. As he led me away, I looked over my shoulder to see McGee watching me.
I wasn't sure where McGee was as the EMTs checked my ankle. After they looked it over, they carefully helped me out of the back of the ambulance. I rounded the corner and stopped when McGee was walking over.
"Hey," McGee said.
"Hi," I smiled.
"How are you feeling?"
"Not bad," I shrugged. "It's just a sprain so I feel a little. . ."
I gasped when he was suddenly right in front of me. "Are you okay?" I whispered.
"I just. . . I was really scared. I thought. . . When that bomb went off, I didn't know if you were going to make it."
"Me?" I asked, my voice soft. "What about you? Weren't you worried something was going to happen to you?"
"I didn't care what happened to me," McGee shrugged. "I was more focused on making sure you were safe."
I grabbed his face and pressed my lips to his. McGee instantly wrapped his arms around my waist as he kissed me back. We let out small laughs as our kiss made us back up and hit the side of the ambulance.
"I'm sorry," I whispered.
"What for?" McGee smiled at me.
"I just. . . You. . . Kissing you."
My face burned as McGee tightened his arms around me and pulled me closer. "I didn't mind," he whispered.
"Well," I said slowly, "if you want to continue, we should probably go somewhere our coworkers aren't."

With his hand holding mine, McGee led me into his apartment. He closed the door and locked it behind us. When he turned toward me, the tension in the room thickened. We stared at each other and let out small laughs.
"Sorry," he chuckled. "This is. . ."
"Awkward," I finished for him. "Considering the fact that it's planned."
"It fits us," McGee joked. I stepped closer to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"It oddly does," I whispered. Suddenly, my smile fell.
