A/N: It's been so long! It's nice to be writing this story again. I just got back from holiday and I'm ready. Oh and by the way, I have a new YouTube channel, it's "NCISashyy" and I have one Tiva fan video up so far, with another one close to being finished. My old channel (superashy8) has a few Tiva vids too but they're my first ones so they're not that good. Anyway, here is a new chapter!

Oh, and this chapter is DEFINITELY more from Tony's POV, and it's pretty short.

Tony DiNozzo looked depressingly at the clock as the little hand fell on the number 2.

"2:00am on a Friday night," he grunted as he shut the drawer closed angrily. "In a parallel universe," he called out to his co-workers as he re-entered the bullpen. "The Tony DiNozzo that didn't become a cop is walking out of a bar with a beautiful lady that he doesn't know the name of...yet."

"How romantic," Ziva said sarcastically, but obviously somewhat tired from the lack of sleep the team had had over the past few nights.

"As romantic as your Cuban Casanova?"

Tony couldn't help it. Whenever he had the opportunity, whenever someone mentioned romance, he slipped a question to Ziva about Mr Miami. OK, she wasn't open about her love life like Tony was but she had no need to be this private. After assurance from her that they were just friends, Tony was fine for a while. Then he heard from McGee who heard from Abby who heard from Gibbs who heard from Ziva that the two were spending Christmas together after they'd known each other three months...that's not what friends do. Rarely did he see any of the others out of the office at all. The occasional getting drunk in Gibbs' basement was an exception, of course, and he had been known to go out for a beer with McGee but they'd known each other years.

Tony didn't know much, but what he did know was that whatever Ziva had with this guy, it was more than friendship.

"Must be tough," he said, prying further and further, very well knowing that if he did so too much it could result in trouble. "Making time for each other. You're stuck here, finishing case reports and he's frolicking in the Miami sun."

"He travels," Ziva told him, determined for him not to know too much. "A lot. Which is why I'm using comp time to take three days off next week to go see him."

Oh no, this is not good. OK, DiNozzo, calm yourself. Unless she says anything about a hotel it's all fine. But what if she stays at his place? "Who's gonna take the couch?" "Well, I can't because of my back problems." "Let's flip a coin." Or better yet we could just have sex! Can't say it hasn't happened before, David.

Oh boy, he was starting to lose it.

"You can't do that," Tony replied, not sure whether he was talking about Miami Man or the comp time.

"Why not? We're adults."

Tony decided it was better not to talk about that part of the relationship.

...

A/N: I know it was short and there was a few other Tiva scenes in the episode but I think that one was the only one with any potential insight. The 'batnap' scene, for example, I would have just been repeating what was on the show. Anyway, I hope you liked this and I will hopefully get enough Tiva from 'Recruited' to write a new chapter.

Reviews would be greatly appreciated!
