Ok, I just came back from watching Catching Fire (finally, yay) and I've been on tour all day and it's midnight & god am I tired, but here's the new drabble anyway - you better appreciate it!
Enjoy reading & leave a review!


Reunion

It was freezing cold outside as Ziva stood there, waiting for him. She didn't mind though because the last time she had seen him was weeks ago before her undercover mission had started.

Since then she hadn't been allowed to have contact with anyone but Gibbs and the longer she was away, the more she had started to miss him.

"I'm going to miss you Ziva." He murmured as he held her as close as possible.
"I will miss you too." She choked out and couldn't say more because she didn't trust her voice enough and didn't want to break down in front of him.

Sensing her desperation he gently cupped her cheeks before speaking up again.
"Stay safe, ok?" His eyes locked on hers as he waited for her reply.

"I will do my best." A single tear made it's way down her cheek as she buried her head into the crook of his neck.

It was the first time since they've become a couple that they would be apart for a longer period and the thought of her being in danger unsettled him.

After some minutes she slightly lifted her head again and when she did so he once more cupped her face before kissing her ever so gently, his lips lingering on hers longer than strictly necessary.

"I love you." He whispered and shortly after returning those words she had to go, knowing she would only see him weeks later.

Shifting her weight from one foot to the other she didn't notice him coming up behind her.
He quietly approached her and after swiftly spinning her around he managed to sweep her off her feet and hold her tightly in his arms.

In this moment her absentminded expression turned into one of joy and happiness as she wrapped her arms around him as well and pressed her lips onto his fervently.

When they pulled apart again he breathlessly brought out "Oh god Ziva, I missed you so much." and rested his forehead against hers to convince himself that this was real, this was happening.
"I missed you too." She sighed against his lips, her breath tickling his skin.

Softly caressing his face she looked up at him again and smiled like nothing else mattered and he couldn't help but return her smile as he saw how happy she was.

"You look radiant." He said, examining her closely.
"I guess I am just glad to be home again." She replied and snuggled against his chest, letting him wrap his arms around her back.

"Oh Ziva I'm glad as well." He murmured into her hair, not willing to let go of her again. Because really, he couldn't live without her.
