A/N: Decided to try a new format where the fic is set up like a script instead of like a story. Each 'scene' is set apart from each other (not immediately back to back, unknown stretches of time are between them)

~~~~~~~~~~~

Scene 1: NCIS Headquarters

Camilla Rossi is meticulously reviewing case files when Gibbs enters the legal department with his usual commanding presence. His demeanor is a mix of frustration and determination.

Gibbs: "Camilla, we've got a situation. The team's recent operation might have crossed some lines. I need your expertise to manage this."

Camilla looks up from her desk, her heart skipping a beat as she meets Gibbs's intense gaze.

Camilla: "Let's go over the details. I'll see what I can do to mitigate any potential backlash."

As she works with Gibbs to sort out the legal mess, she can't help but admire his dedication and the weight of responsibility he carries.

Scene 2: Working Late

One evening, after a particularly grueling day, Camilla and Gibbs are alone in the office. Camilla is reviewing documents while Gibbs paces, clearly agitated.

Gibbs: "I know this isn't the easiest job, dealing with all the fallout. I appreciate your help, Camilla."

Camilla: "It's part of my job, Gibbs. And honestly, it's impressive how much you care about your team, even if it sometimes goes awry."

Gibbs glances at her, noticing the warmth in her voice and the kindness in her eyes. He feels a pang of something he's been trying to ignore—something that's been growing stronger with every interaction.

Scene 3: Team Dinner

The NCIS team, including Camilla, is out for a celebratory dinner. Camilla sits across from Gibbs, who seems more relaxed in this setting, yet there's still an unspoken tension between them.

Camilla: "You know, Gibbs, I've always admired how you lead your team. It's not just about enforcing rules, but about protecting your people."

Gibbs: "Thanks, Camilla. I guess it's a part of who I am. I just try to do what's right, even if it's not always straightforward."

Camilla smiles, her feelings deepening. Gibbs notices the way her eyes light up when she speaks, and it stirs something within him.

Scene 4: A Heartfelt Conversation

After a particularly taxing case, Gibbs and Camilla find themselves alone in her office. The air is thick with unspoken words.

Camilla: "Gibbs, there's something I need to tell you. I've developed feelings for you. It's been building up over time, and I can't ignore it any longer."

Gibbs is taken aback. He's been struggling with his own emotions, wrestling with the age gap and the professional boundaries.

Gibbs: "Camilla, I... I have feelings for you too. But there's a lot to consider. The age difference, the implications for both of us..."

Camilla: "I understand, Gibbs. But I had to be honest about how I feel. I'm willing to navigate the complexities if you are."

Gibbs is moved by her courage and honesty. He's torn between his feelings and his fears but knows he needs to confront his emotions.

Scene 5: Finding Common Ground

Gibbs and Camilla decide to take things slowly, understanding the need to balance their professional lives with their personal feelings. They begin to spend more time together outside of work, gradually building their relationship.

Gibbs: "Let's take it one step at a time. We'll figure this out together, and we'll do it right."

Camilla: "I'm on board with that. We'll face the challenges as they come."

Their relationship evolves, marked by mutual respect and deepening affection. Gibbs continues to value Camilla's support in managing the legal fallout from his team's actions, while their personal connection strengthens.

Epilogue:

As time passes, Gibbs and Camilla's relationship becomes a well-respected aspect of their lives. Gibbs's team notices a positive change in him, and Camilla's role as his confidante and partner becomes integral to their professional and personal worlds.

Their love story is a testament to the idea that meaningful connections can develop in unexpected places and that overcoming internal and external obstacles can lead to something truly special. Through their journey, Gibbs and Camilla prove that sometimes, the best partnerships are those that navigate the complexities of life together.
