PROLOGUE
He saved her while they were undercover. She saved him when she shot a metal box. He saved her when she was being held hostage. She saved him from getting beaten up by members of another agency. Ever since Tony and Ziva met on that fateful day over five years ago, they have quite literally risked life and limb for each other. But why? For What reasons?
If you ask them they will most likely shrug and say that they are just doing their job, because they are partners after all. Whether that is really the case, nobody knows. Sure, they were just partners in the beginning, but think about it. Their chemistry is undeniable, their loyalty to each other is unshakable. Nearly everybody who meets them, knows them or even just sees them together seems to think that they are couple. Even Gibbs has the sneaking suspicion that they have broken rule twelve, on more than one occasion.
All of this suggests that Tony and Ziva are more than just partners, more than just friends. There is that saying however, that makes a valid point; looks can be deceiving. As far as Tony and Ziva are concerned, this phrase is very relevant. Tony and Ziva are not a couple and they are not dating…yet.
But they will be. A series of motions have been put into place that will bring the two partners together, once and for all. We all know that it isn't a question about if Tony and Ziva will ever cross that line, it is a question about when. It's about whether you're going to stick around to see it happen.
The block has receded for now…hope you like the ideas it has allowed me to formulate. Love you dearly, sorry about the dry spell.
