WOW. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU LOVE IT. AHAHA:D

I do believe that this is one of the best I've written. And I write a lot.

I'm so glad that you guys thought it was in character. I don't like it when a bunch of outlandish crap happens to Tony and Ziva to get them together. Anyway, I'll try to write them getting a little closer to their feelings here, I've always had theories about how they get together so I've played with them and this is what I've come up with!

ENJOY MY PRETTIES!

PS: Considerable jump in time. Consider the first chapter in the middle of the new season and this being the finally.


The case was over and done. It was pretty predictable actually, this job. Naval officers and Marines died and they put whoever murdered them in prison. But that was life, eventually things stopped being exciting and started being routine. Even murder, unfortunately. But that hadn't bothered him, what bothered him was the fact that he found the Secretary of the Navy dying, Vance being mortally injured (again), and Gibbs actually considering being the Director boring…well, not boring just…predictable in a way. Which was why Tony was actually considering this offer that Vance was giving him. I mean, Tony thought, what more do I have here? Ziva had been avoiding him for the past couple of months, Vance was stepping down…or stepping up to be the Secretary of the Navy, and he could tell by the look in Gibbs' eye that he was going to be Director and as much as he'd like to see how that was going to turn out, he was actually considering going to Chicago. And, just so you know, Tony hated Chicago. Hated it.

Ugh…he seriously needed to talk to Gibbs. The rest of the day went rather slowly. Ziva still refused to talk to him other than absolutely necessary, McGee looked at them like he was watching a soap opera, and Gibbs watched it all like a god who knew exactly how it was going turn out. Tony scurried out of the area behind his desk to catch up with the elevator, he didn't know who was in it but he wanted to get home. Just because he wanted to talk to Gibbs, didn't mean he was actually going to do it.

Just his luck, Ziva was in there. Just his luck, he didn't realize this until the doors closed. Just his luck, the elevator was turned off…Just his luck, Ziva wanted to talk. "Zee-vah. Wonderful evening, isn't it?" He said coolly.

"Cut the crap, Tony. We must talk this through." Ziva said determinedly.

"Talk about the last time we were in this elevator, alone, where we almost kissed?"

"Yes."

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Agent David."

"Tony, you need to lose this act. We must talk this through, I do not want to lose our friendship…even if you are going to Chicago." Ziva said. "Which, is a mistake."

"Oh, so it's a mistake to want to leave all this pain behind? Well, here's a newsflash for you Ziva, not everyone is as much of a robot as you! Not everyone can go through all we did and-"

"And what? What feelings do you have, for anyone, that don't eventually fade away?"

"…My personal business is none of your business, David." He said coldly. He didn't need this, he didn't need her standing so close to him, he didn't need to feel her, he didn't need to want to kiss her, he didn't need ANY OF IT. Damn, what would happen if he just reached behind her and switched the elevator on?

"Tony, stop being a child!" Scolded Ziva. Why wasn't he listening to her? "Will you just let me say what I need to?"

"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear you say that there are rules, that I'm like a big brother to you, I don't want to hear you say that you don't love me like I love you!" He yelled at her.

Ziva's eyes widened and she stepped back a little bit. Oh god…wait, what did he just say? Did he say that he…loved her? What? "What did you just say?"

"I…I love you." Tony was preparing for rejection. He could feel it now. Chicago was looking oh so good at this moment. And Ziva could see it, the life in his eyes were fading and she couldn't for the life of her figure out why.

"…Tony, you can't love me." She said quietly.

Anger returned to Tony for a second. "Why not? You're all I want, I don't need anyone else, Ziva."

"You can't love me. You can't." She said, tears brimming. "You're…I…we don't fit. We're not supposed to fit."

"But we do, dammit, and you know it!"

"It's not how life is supposed to be!" She yelled at him, once again stepping close. The tears were still there but her anger at the world needed a target, and he just happened to be closest. "My whole life was planned and I knew what to expect but then I met you and suddenly life is not anything like it should be! Suddenly you are there with your stupid green eyes and your stupid smile! And suddenly I am in love with some Catholic, American playboy! You-" He stopped her with his lips right there. She said it. She admitted it. He never thought he'd hear that. He'd never really let himself hope he'd hear that until a few moments ago. She pushed him away after a minute. "Tony…you just kissed me."

Tony nodded happily, his cheerful demeanor restored to its former glory. "You bet, Zee-vah." Ziva just laughed breathlessly. "I love you."

"I love you too, Tony." Ziva said and then she kissed him.
