Title: Old
A/N: I need to take a break from French reunion as I am experiencing writers block on that one, so here is a one shot...
His first mistake was watching the new bond films with Ziva. The second was calling him old. Daniel Craig.
"Daniel Craig, born 1968, same age as you" his ninja quoted, much to his surprise. She raised an eyebrow, before turning to him smugly. "Are you finally admitting to yourself that you are old?"
Shit. I'm never gonna live this down. "No Zee-vah, I am not. He is grey, I am not. He is old, I am experienced" He emphasised the last word, breathing it into her ear, which would normally have pissed her off.
But not today. Instead it brought dirty thoughts to her mind and she couldn't shake them. No matter what she did. So she played along.
"Experienced?, I am experienced, and younger than you," She husked.
Is she implying what i think, no hope she is? Tony thought. He turned his head away from the movie an saw a smug look across her face. Oh game on Ziva.
" Experience comes with age, Zee-vah. So I am more experienced than you."
Ziva grinned. "So you admit you are aged?" she questioned with a look that was daring him to answer.
"No, experienced." He shot back, with a hint of anger.
"Ohhh, touché" she smirked. "Someone's a bit sensitive. Having a midlife accident?"
"Crisis Ziva, and no .Please just drop it"
"And why should I?" she asked, waiting for the reply she new was coming.
"Because you win."
She grinned victoriously. Then saw the hurt on his face.
"I am sorry, i didn't know it was such a touchy subject. You are not old, just experienced"
His face lit up at the words."That I am Ziva, let me prove it."
The next morning she laid wrapped in his arms, exhausted but content.
"Tony..." she muffled into his chest.
He groaned as a response and pulled her closer.
"I was wrong. You win."
