Hero
An hour after Kate had fallen asleep Ari slipped out from behind Kate, making sure not to wake her or hurt her shoulder further.
He walked out of the hospital room and saw John standing a few feet away in the deserted hallway. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down slightly before walking towards John. Before John could react, Ari had his forearm against his throat and slammed him against the wall.
"If I hear you have harmed her again, I will cause you a great deal of pain. And I am not joking" Ari said quietly as John stared at him fearfully as he tried to breath, Ari pressed down on his throat harder harder "Do you understand?"
John nodded desperately. Ari stepped back from him and took another deep breath and turned around, walking back into Kate's hospital room.
When he sat down next to the bed, he took her hand and rubbed him thumb over her knuckles and put his head on her good arm and closing his eyes. She opened hers after a moment and frowned at him.
She wished he hadn't had said anything to her father.
Ziva wrapped her arms around Tony's waist from behind and kissed between his shoulders as he cooked the pasta sauce on the oven.
He turned around in her arms with the spoon in his hand and put it up to her lips to taste. She blew on it with a smirk before she leaned forward and tasted the sauce. He put the spoon on the table behind him and turned his head back to her quickly and pressed his lips to hers. She smiled into the kiss and pushed him away after a moment and turning him around.
"The food is burning" She whispered in his ear.
He laughed and turned back to cook the sauce and pasta, Ziva jumping up and sitting on the counter next to him and cocking her head to the side with a small smile.
"So are you sure you are fine with Michael?" She asked him.
He nodded without looking away from the food he nodded "Yeah" He said, looking at her and standing between her legs, putting his hands on her hips "As long as he doesn't try to kiss you again"
Ziva chuckled "Do not worry Tony. He will not"
Tony nodded and leaned forward and kissed her again and pulled her against his body, her legs going around his waist and her hands tangling in his hair.
A few minutes later the timer on the oven went off and Tony and Ziva reluctantly pulled apart, their hair mussed from each other's hands and their lips slightly swollen. She smirked at him and shifted her hips against his slightly and he groaned. She chuckled and hopped off the counter top, going over and putting the dinner into bowls as Tony regained himself and turned to her.
"You're mean" He mumbled taking a bowl off the counter. Ziva grinned and put some spaghetti in her mouth, still smirking at him. She walked away from him and into the living room and sitting on the couch, he following her in a few seconds later and sitting next to her. She put her legs over his so her back was against the arm of the couch and her knees bent, Tony resting his bowl on her knees and smiling at her.
"I could do this with you for the rest of my life" Tony said quietly, not looking at her "Probably too young to be thinking about that"
Ziva put a hand on his cheek and made him look at her "I love you Tony" She said softly.
He smiled slyly at her before they both went back to eating their dinner.
On the Monday Ari had driven Kate to school, knowing with her sling it would be stupid to take the motorcycle. Kate was thankful that it was almost winter, so she wore her white beanie over her head so people couldn't see the still dark purple bruise.
Ari had an arm around Kate so his hand was resting lightly on her ribs so he wouldn't disturb her arm.
"Is your arm alright?" He asked her as she itched under her sling. She stopped in the middle of the road and stood in front of him, giving him a glare.
"Stop asking. It's fine" She said with a reassuring smile before walking again. Ari put his arm back around her and chuckled, glaring at three girls who were staring at them and whispering.
Kate put her right hand over Ari's, the one that was resting on her side and squeezed lightly, leading them over to where Tony, Ziva, Pacci and Paula were standing.
"How's your arm Katie?" Tony asked. She huffed and rolled her eyes at him.
"What's everyone talking about?" Kate asked looking around at all the people looking at them.
"Someone said that Ari hurt you" Pacci said.
Kate's face turned angry and she stepped forward "Who said it?"
"Peter" Paula said pointing over to where Peter was talking to the cheerleader that Kate still didn't know the name of. She walked over to him and punched him in the face with her good hand, knocking him to the ground before taking a breath and walking back to where Ari was standing by himself.
"Feel better?" He asked with a smirk as he watched Peter get up cradling his eye.
Kate nodded and smiled slightly up at him "I've been wanting to do that for a while" She said. Ari chuckled and brushed some hair back behind her ear under beanie, leaning down and kissing her gently.
Peter walked angrily over to Tony, his hand covering his eye and said "Why the hell aren't you stoping them? After what he did to her?"
Tony didn't look at Peter "I may hate him and not want him near her, but he didn't do that to her" He said as the bell for their first class rang.
Peter shook his head and walked towards where the school nurse's office was to get ice, not looking back at them as he did.
Ari put his arm back around Kate and began walking with her into the building.
"What class do you have?" He asked her.
"P.E" She said "But I guess I won't be doing it for a while" She said. She stopped for a moment and turned to look up at him "I need to talk to you at lunch, okay?" She said quietly.
Ari nodded slowly and walked with her until they reached the door to the gym, he kissed her temple softly before walking to his own class.
As soon as Kate knew Ari was gone, she put her hand on her ribs, pressing against it gently against them, squeezing her eyes tightly shut in pain.
She really wished Ari hadn't said anything to her father.
Ok, there have been no hints this chapter, maybe in the last, but the main storyline has still not come into show.
