A different take on box in,
Disclaimer, I do not own NCIS
Tim walks into NCIS, and is surprise to see Tony at his desk and already working, so Tim set down, and got to work. Ten min later, Ziva walk in and say hi to both Tim and Tony. "Hi Ziva, and thank again for dinner last night," Tim said with a smile. Tony did not say a word.
At about noon, Tim was starting to get hungry, and ask if he could go to lunch, "Ziva do you want to come, I will even pay."
"No thanks maybe next time McGee"
"Tony" Ziva said in a voice that was a little more quit then how she normally talk. "Yes Ziva" Tony answer without even a hint of a smile, I just realize that I did not invite you to dinner yesterday, would you like to come over tonight,
"No!" and Tony walks away.
After a short case, Tim ask Tony does he want to go out for drinks,
"No, McGee!"
"Look Tony you been acting kind of funny what wrong?" Tim asks getting worried about Tony.
"Sorry Tim, it not you it Ziva,"
"What going on? Tony" Tim asks hopeing for once tony would drop the clown act and just tell him.
"Well you know I was not at the Ziva dinner party yesterday,"
"Yes I assumed that you had plans,"
"No Ziva did not invite me," you could hear the anger and hurt in Tony voice as he said this.
"I am sorry Tony I had no idea" and patted Tony on the back.
"Did she say why, she did not invite you?" Tim had to ask because it was team dinner for her to get to know everybody better.
"Ok, well a few house ago, she said she is sorry but she forgot to invite me, So she ask me to come over tonight for a home cook dinner."
"Lucky you,"
"What do you mean? Tim"
"Tony when I was at Norfolk I throw a dinner party for my team, but I did not invite the girl I had a crush on, just so I could invite her the next day,"
Congrates Tony she likes you.
Author Note: Just a different reason for Ziva not to invite Tony.
