In Defense of Ziva
Summary: I haven't seen the episode where it comes out that Ziva slept with someone while she was in Israel. Not sure if it was "Revenge" or "Double Blind" because I have't seen either one. I've read a few summaries and skimmed a few stories and have only seen "Poor Tony" and "Ziva was wrong" and because of that and because I'm not a big DiNozzo fan, I wrote this short, whatever it is, in defense of Ziva.

Disclaimer: I own nothing NCIS and am only borrowing Ziva and Tony for about a minute.
Sure Ziva felt a little guilty, but not that much. Why should she?
Leveling her gaze at Tony, she told him the truth. Her truth.
"When I went to Israel for my father's funeral, we were not exclusive."
Tony glared, but kept his mouth shut. He knew she was right. Didn't mean he had to like it.
"I did not know what we had. I do not know what we have now."
Teeth clenched, Tony looked like his jaw should hurt.
"In Berlin, we... got closer, but Tony, I still do not know what... this is."
This. What this is? A budding romance? A hot fling? Did he know?
"You should have told me," he demanded angrily.
"What?" She couldn't believe he was telling her that. "Are you telling me you have not slept with anyone since I went to Israel?"
Tony's eyes revealed he had. The man had dry spells, but he sought female companionship when he could. The difference was that his exploits didn't usually come out during investigations.
"We shall talk, later, after you have had time to reconsider your opinion of me."
Ziva walked away and Tony didn't go after her.
The End
Thank you for reading.
