Rule One
One word can change everything. Tiva and Jibbs.

A Very Special Anthony DiNozzo was admiring himself in front of the mirror when a hand painfully collided with the backside of his skull.
"Ow!" He cried but he received a glare from his boss. "I didn't do anything wrong, Boss."
The older man sat on his chair and glared again from the distance. "For breaking rule one." He clearly stated without looking up from the younger man. He continued doing his paperwork.
Tony grew pale and failed to speak at first. His lips parted then closed then parted again. Gibbs could feel his senior agent's eyes piercing through him. "Speak."
"I… um… whatever you heard that wasn't true boss." He gulped and tightened his gripped on the mirror that he was holding. He was already getting ready to face the wrath of Gibbs. He knew his boss knows that he was lying.
"I saw what you did, DiNozzo!" he flashed his anger towards the younger man.
Tony felt like his blood was drained. His boss just saw him and Ziva doing it but they were very careful in the supply closet few hours ago. He didn't know how Gibbs will kill him. Is he going to shoot him with the sniper rifle, suffocate him to death, strangle him, beat him or torture him? There are so many options. He wasn't sure exactly how will Gibbs punish him after what he saw.
"Did you really…" his voice faltered and grew hoarse. His throat felt dry all of a sudden.
"Everyone knows."
His eyes grew wider and his heart was jumping in and out of his body. He was now chasing his breath. He felt he needed to explain to his boss about their actions.
"It was one time only boss." He received a glare. "Ok, maybe more than once and I will not say how many times but we will not do it again. We.."
"The hell you wouldn't!"
"We didn't know you were there!"
"Everybody's there!" he bellowed.
"You're bluffing! Wait, are you angry that we used your and Jenny's – erm – hideout? " by the look on his boss' face he knew he was talking about something far from what he was thinking. He was kind of relieved that his boss didn't know about the supply closet but he was also terrified that he just mentioned that he knew what his boss and boss' boss was doing in there yesterday.
"Rule number one." He gritted his teeth and smacked the head of his agent.
"Never screw your partner." He answered quickly but he received another head slap. It was more excruciating this time.
"Never screw over your partner DiNozzo!" He shouted from the stairs. He knew who altered his rules. DiNozzo might've heard her mistakenly stated that rule yesterday. "Don't do a background check on Ziva again!" He warned him from the catwalk then quickly disappeared from her door to tell her what had happened and that their actions yesterday was discovered.
He groaned because of the headache and his frustration. He was only doing a background check to find out if it's a good idea to take Ziva in a zoo.
