NCIS Tony and Ziva Fan Fiction – Set after "Reunion" after Ziva gets her job back
Ziva's POV
I got my job back at NCIS, I am on good terms with Abby and McGee, Gibbs maybe I am not quite sure and Tony, when I went into the men's room we seemed to be back on track. I now know that I was wrong to blame him for Michael's death, it was self-defence and Michael was a bad man anyway. Just another guy who has betrayed me. My father has betrayed me sending me to die. If it wasn't for Tony I would not be here, he saved me and Gibbs and McGee of course. I sat down on my couch in my hotel room; I need to go looking for a new apartment. When there was a knock on my door. I walked over and looked through the peep hole. I saw Tony standing there looking around. I opened the door for him.
"Hello Tony" I said to him, as I opened the door more to let him step inside.
"Hey Zi" I have missed him so much and I have missed my little nicknames.
"What is it you want, my little hairy butt" I said smiling, remembering our time undercover, a time we had so much fun with each other. He smiled back at me to, a smile that kind of said, 'I thought you had forgotten your little nicknames.'
"Well Sweet cheeks," he said putting emphasis on the sweet cheeks before he suddenly pulled me into him and gave me the biggest hug I have ever been in my life. I hugged him back, I felt safe in his embrace, what I would have given to have him in this time I was in Somalia with no one feeling totally alone. He pulled away and just stared at me, not in the creepy way he normally does when he is staring at my butt or my cleavage, "I have missed you so much. Vance made Gibbs start looking for replacements but none of them were you, then I was thinking that you should have called someone by now, so McGee, Abby and I started looking and then Gibbs told us the ship went down and there were no survivors," he started cracking like he was going to cry, "We thought you were gone Zi and I was a wreck I couldn't concentrate on work and I felt like Jenny all over again, If I hadn't killed Michael you never would have stayed behind in Tel Aviv and your father never would have sent you to Saleem…" I cut him off there.
"Tony, it was not your fault I stayed in Tel Aviv. I make my own choices and it was definitely not your fault my father sent me to Saleem. Though it is your fault that I am here. If it wasn't for you I really would be dead." I said and lifted his chin up, because he had started looking down, I could tell he was upset. I pulled him into another hug. I felt him wrap his arms back around me and put his head down into my hair. I had my head on his shoulder. Then I whispered to him, "Oh and Tony"
He pulled away keeping his hands around me, "Yeah Zi."
"I missed you too, very much. It was memories of the team and mainly you that kept me going. I kept hoping I would one day see you again. I had almost given up all hope of that and even living, until Saleem put me in that chair in front of you." I said smiling at him.
He smiled back at me and then he got really excited, "Hey I have the perfect idea, movie and dinner on me, we can spend some time together and you know catch up again." He always does come up with the best ideas. I do love spending time with him.
"Yes, I would love to hang in with you" I said grabbing my coat of the couch.
"Hanging out Ninja, not hanging in" He said laughing at me. He always did correct me, that is one thing I have not missed.
"Whatever, now let's go" he held out his arm for me and I of coarse took it. I walked out the door and shut it behind me before Tony led me to his car and we went to 'Hang out' for the night.
