A/N: Originally I was just going to leave the story off at the last chapter but I got many requests for more. Plus, I have a snow day and have nothing at all to do, so here you go! I'm pretty sure this will be the last chapter. Be sure to review!

Disclaimer: I wish I owned NCIS but I don't.


Tony hopped off the bus, Ziva following behind him. They waved goodbye to the team, there were two new special agents waiting to take up the protection detail. Tony wrapped his arm around Ziva's waist, ignoring the chorus of hooting coming from the boys after his action.

"Feel up for a movie night, Miss Dah-Veed?" he asked, giving her a signature DiNozzo grin.

"Yes, but I am picking the movie," Ziva told him.

Tony laughed, "Yeah, we'll see."

They both headed for the driver's door at the same time. Ziva got her hand on the handle first but Tony kept his hand on the door so that she couldn't open it.

"Not a chance, my ninja, not even after that bus ride."

Ziva scowled at him, but decided against threatening him. She walked around to the passenger side. Tony grinned and got in.

Heading back to NCIS, the duo settled into a companionable silence.

Tony glanced over at Ziva, who had her eyes on the road ahead of them. He took in her wavy hair and his favorite dark brown eyes. He was not going to mess this up, enough damage had already been done when he went undercover and dated Jeanne. He realized that his partner had left his thoughts even on that mission.

He smiled to himself, This is different. It's special, I'm not screwing up.

Next to him, Ziva stole similar looks at her partner, loving his perfectly styled hair and green eyes that she never got out of her head. It surprised her, she had many partners with Mossad, and had never cared about one of them like she did with Tony. The only thing that surprised her more was that she didn't care, she liked the feeling.

She smiled, He's not just another partner...He never was.

Unknown to the other, the partners thought about each other the whole ride back to headquarters.


He watched them from the top of the stairs as they entered the squad room. Gibbs narrowed his eyes at the arm around Ziva's waist. He wanted to run down and slap them both for breaking Rule 12. Had he taught them nothing?

Yet something was holding him back. He had made the rule because of what happened with Jenny. That didn't mean it would happen with his agents. He sighed and put his head in his hands.


McGee walked into the squad room just as Tony and Ziva had finished gathering their things. Tony had his arm around Ziva's shoulders and she was leaning into him.

McGee looked at them oddly, then eyed the arm around Ziva's shoulders.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

Tony countered, "Well see Tim, I have a job, and this is where I work. So it's not uncommon to see employees at their offices."

McGee rolled his eyes and started getting his things from his own desk.

"What were you still doing here, McGoogle?"

McGee blushed a little. "I well uh, Abby asked for help on something down in the lab, and so you know, can't say no to Abby.."

Ziva gave him a knowing look at and Tony grinned slyly.

McGee quickly changed the subject, "You know, Gibbs is going to kill you guys."

Tony and Ziva looked at each other in panic. They had totally forgotten about Gibbs! Yet neither made a move to break away from each other. McGee grinned, he had the upper hand in the conversation now. He opened his mouth to speak as Gibbs appeared out of seemingly nowhere and made all three agents jump.

Tony and Ziva couldn't step apart fast enough, but Gibbs just walked over to his desk and started closing up. Tony and Ziva shared a look of relief.

"Don't worry, I saw you two," Gibbs said, not looking up from his desk. Tony shifted uncomfortably and Ziva did the same. McGee couldn't stop smiling.

Gibbs straightened up and beckoned to his more experienced agents. They stepped forward nervously, and winced at the same time as their boss's hand made contact with the back of their heads. McGee couldn't help a chuckle.

"Quiet, McGiggle," DiNozzo snapped.

Gibbs turned to face McGee. "I should probably slap you for harassing your partners."

"Allow me boss," Tony said stepping forward and slapping McGee's head, earning himself another slap from Gibbs.

A ghost of a smile appeared on Jethro's face as he turned to leave.

"Gibbs? Is that it?" Ziva questioned, fearing more consequences.

Gibbs didn't break stride and walked into the elevator as he called back, "Keep it out of my office or you both might just end up on Ducky's tables."

Tony smiled again and put his arm back around Ziva.

"Bye McGee!" they both waved in farewell, and headed for the stairs.

Tim gulped, he was sure Gibbs wouldn't cut him that sort of slack if he found out McGee was involved with his favorite forensic scientist.

But then again, he thought to himself, those two are special.
