Who: Mike and Robert
Where: Their place
When: December 27
Summary: Mike and Robert talk
Mike wasn't a talker. He hadn't talked when his brother died, just got on with the job and followed through the motions, working harder to prevent the same happening to others. Now it wasn'Hhis brother who was missing, but the brother of the man he loved and he could see in Robert's behavior much of himself. Robert weren't talking, he was going through routine as if nothing had happened, but Mike knew what this kind of pain meant. Robert and Callen might not have had the relationship he'd had with his brother growing up together, but you'd have to be a fool not to see how much the family bond meant to the both of them.
And Mike wasn't a fool.
Things between him and Robert might have been strange for month. They both knew what the problem was, both were very good at ignoring it and pretending everything was fine. None of that mattered now though. Not when Callen and Sam were missing. So he stepped up and made sure to be there, take care of things while not asking. At least not at first.
Taking two beers out of the fridge, he walked over to the sofa where Robert was sitting. Handing him a beer he sat down next to him.
"You want to talk about it?" he asked.
