Imagen this as a scene similar to the one in "Housekeeping". I couldn't get the "scene" out of my head. This would happen a few episodes after the one where they kiss (because it will happen and there is no denying it anymore).
Tony sat at his desk alone that night. All around him people were getting ready to go home. But Tony wasn't ready. There was something about their recent case he couldn't get out of his head.
What was supposed to be scuicide had turned to murder. A Navy captain about to retire had wished to end his life. Because there was nothing in his life but his career. The team had spend days interviewing his former girlfriends. They had all stated he wasn't the type og guy who would commit in a relationship.
This man's life was what Tony had pictured his own future would be. Succesful with the ladies and at work, but always retuning home to an empty apartment. That was something he had almost accepted. Until about 1 month ago.
Ziva walked into the squard room carrying a file. She smiled at him when she saw him. She placed the file on Gibbs' desk for him to read in the morning. She then walked to her own desk to get her bag and jacket. Tony watched her movements the entire time. How did he ever become so lucky to finally have her in his life?
It still didn't feel real. He felt that at any moment he could loose her. He was almost afraid to picture a future with Ziva because it would be so easy for it to end. To become nothing more than a memory. It had reminded him of his parents. How his father's life had turned out after his mother's death.
Ziva had felt his stare and she then looked at him, gesturing towards the elevator.
"Are you coming?"
Tony then looked up.
"Yeah. Just a sec."
Ziva felt his hesitation. She had known all day that something was bothering him, but they had made an agreement not to show that kind of affection during work. It wasn't something Gibbs or Director Vance had decided, they had simply wanted to keep it low key.
But now they were alone in the office and she knew exactly what bothered him. She walked towards him and sat down at his desk. He looked up at her. She smiled gently at him.
"You won't end up like the captain. Or your father."
Tony looked into her eyes. He then got up and stood right in front of her. Looking down, their noses were almost touching.
"how can you be so sure?"
Ziva then smiled.
"I'm not. That's the thing. You can never be sure. But there is one thing that I know."
"What is that?"
She looked straight into his eyes.
"Ani ohevet otcha."
Tony smiled and leaned down to gently kiss her. Their foreheads were touching and they both smiled.
*POOF*
And then just like the way I want it to happen in the episode, I will leave you guys to translate what Ziva said (you can probably guess) ;)
