Eye sex. Hungry eyes. One look at you and I can't disguise, I need you to see this love was meant to be. Tiva. ~Debs
"You say you don't wanna talk about it but...your eyes won't shut up." ~ DiNozzo
Eye sex-no not Zivas first words on the show, which were "Having phone sex?", when she first spoke to DiNozzo. You can tell the way they looked at each other...in the workplace, out in the field, pretty much anywhere they were in close proximity to each other...that is if they weren't butting heads because we all know they have. Tony woke up this morning thinking about one thing, and that was his work partner Ziva. He thought about her all the time, sometimes not so appropriately, but he thought about her nonetheless. They had been dating for a while, Rule 12 thrown out the window with Gibbs' Blessing. Tony Senior was of course thrilled at the news, getting all excited and already coming up with wedding plans. This led to Tony's becoming embarrassed and Ziva just patted his chest, smirking. "Oh come on, Junior." Senior had said. "As long as you two have known each other, you'll be hitched in no time." At that comment Ziva furrowed her brow but waited until her already planning future Father-In-Law was out of earshot. She turned back to look at Tony. "Hitched...Is that a reference to let's not put the wagon before the horse?" "Not exactly. Hitched is another term for marriage, wedding." "Ah." Ziva nodded as Tony explained more. "And it's cart before the horse." Ziva looked to him, staring with a 'Really'/dull expression, unamused. Tony just smirked and moved a lock of straightened hair behind her ear. This brought a small smile back to her lips and as they inched closer, their eyes locked and loaded with such emotion and attachment. This of course was known as eye-sex.
They were staring so longingly at each other, that is until a clearing throat brought them out of their trance. The couple turned to see their boss, Gibbs, and also the Director. Ziva hung her head in embarrassment, blushing and smiling with her lips pressed together before looking back up, Tony ran his tongue over his teeth and straightens his suit even though it doesn't need tending to. "Sorry Gibbs, we know it still has to at least be on the..down low, at work." Said Ziva as she looked to her partner, who gave a nod at her getting the idiom right. Gibbs just waved his hand. "It's fine Ziver." "Congratulations Miss David, DiNozzo." Vance came forward, shaking their hands as he looked to both of them. The lovers exchanged glances though they took the praise in stride. "So, where's the ring?" Came the next question. After a long moment of awkwardness before the director stood more erected. "I spoke too soon." Both Tony and Ziva shook their heads. "No Director don't feel like that." "It's completely fine." They assured him. Tony had opened his mouth to say more but then closed it. Ziva didn't notice but Vance did, and slowly smiled when he followed Tony's gaze as the agent kept glancing down at his pocket then back to the Directors eyes. "Well, I have some paper work to get do. You guys enjoy your evening." Ziva smiled. "Thank you, Director." And with that the director headed for the stairs to head to his office. Gibbs looked to his agents then sighed. "Ahh, go on." Tony and Ziva looked to each other before Gibbs waved his hand. "We don't have a case. Go on." "Thank you Boss." DiNozzo said quickly and both agents left, entering the elevator.
Later that night...Tony and Ziva were having a lovely dinner together. It was at a fancy restaurant and tonight there weren't too many people, a small crowd, which made it better. DiNozzo looked to Ziva as the candlelight on the table danced, making her appear more radiant than she already was as he saw the flames reflect in her bright brown eyes. "You are so beautiful Ziva." He said as he looked at her. This caused a warm smile to appear on his partners lips. "Thank you." She eyed him up and down in her usual signature way. "And you are exceptionally handsome tonight." She took a sip of her drink then eyed him. "But, I have a feeling, that there is more to tonight than just good food and conversation." Tony smiled. "You presume correct as usual my lady." This made Ziva giggle inside and she leaned forward, resting her elbows on he table, her hands up and together as she rested her chin on them. Tony swallowed. It's like, he knew she would say yes but inside he was still terrified. Ziva inclined her head. "Are you sweating?" Tony let go of the breath he was holding and then took a few deeper ones but silently. He nodded, being honest. "Yeah. Yeah I am." Ziva looked to him in concern. "Have I done some thing wrong?" She asked, fear coming to her heart. Tony immediately shook his head, almost standing. "No! No Ziva not at all you're, perfect." DiNozzo locked his lips, taking a deep breath of bravery, then..he rose from his seat and came to her. Zivas breath caught..was this it? Was this really happening?
Tony squared his shoulders and came right before her..then got down on one knee, taking her hand in his. "Ziva I..I honestly don't know exactly where to start, or how to start. But this much I do know, is that I love you. Very much. I love everything about you, even your stubbornness and when you make me mad. Love your personality, your eyes, your smile, your caring nature..and your fighting spirit. My ninja..my warrior...I love the way you become flustered trying to come up with the right idioms to say, your vulnerability, and my heart goes out to you, burns for you, my souls aches with you when you're going through tough times." This brought tears to Zivas eyes and she fought to control her breathing as those tears began going down her cheeks, but they were tears of joy as she took in his every word. "Ziva David..love of my life...would you do the extraordinary honor of marrying me?" Ziva sniffled and licked her lips, then she practically yanked him to her and enveloped her true love into an embrace, her lips latching onto his for a kiss that lasted about 7 seconds. When they pulled apart their eyes locked, and with a smile on her face, Ziva said..."Yes. Yes I will marry you. Tony DiNozzo, love of my life, future father of our children, I will become your wife. I will support you, grow with you, forever...until death do us part...forever." "Forever." DiNozso repeated as he went forward and their lips meet again, the surrounding customers watching and clapping at their happiness.
Hope this chapter was worth the wait. Not sure if that was what you were expecting considering the title but whenever I write my fanfics I play it as a scene in my head, which makes it all the more fun and enjoyable. I can see what they're wearing, the expressions on their faces and in their eyes. The joy pouring from two souls who I truly believe love each other. Tiva.
