So, I know! Loong time! Long story short, I changed schools and my brain was a complete mess! But it came back to working properly on Valentine's Day! How cute is that? Anyway, on with the story.

Title: Valentine's Special

Rated: K

Summary: Boring day. Normal day? Roses? Oh wow! -not in a relationship, not really, anyway.-

Disclaimer: If after all this time you still think I own NCIS, we'll have to sit down and have a serious conversation, okay?


Rare were the days Ziva David wasn't the first one to get to the office. Today was one of those days. The brunette walked in to the sight of her partner already at his desk and working. She blinked twice; it just had to be a hallucination.

Getting closer, she realized it was actually real, so she greeted him with a sigh and walked to her desk as he greeted back. The female agent found, as usual, a Valentine's card from Abby on her desk. Those cards always brightened her day, she let out a chuckle. And she was still waiting for Tony to be his usual self and ask her if she had a date and, of course, brag about his.

Five minutes passed, then ten, fifteen; and the only sound heard was of fingers quickly hitting the keyboard over and over. Fine! If he wasn't asking, she'd have to do it.

"Have a date tonight, Tony?" That sounded a little jealous, not really how she planned it.

"Nothing programmed…You?" Her partner asked back, his green eyes lifting to meet her chocolate ones.

"No date." She stated simply, lowering her gaze to the monitor.

McGee chose that precise moment to walk in, greeting his coworkers in a rather chipper way. Ziva wondered if he had a date, but kept quiet. It was Tony who voiced her thoughts, receiving a 'maybe' from the Junior Agent.

It looked like nothing special was going to take place. Gibbs walked into the bullpen telling them to work and then walked out letting them know that in case of any emergency, he'd be talking to the Director.

One hour had one by and Ziva's fingers were starting to go numb, when a delivery boy came by and dropped a rose on her desk. She just stared at it, not touching yet, too surprised to actually say anything. It was red and fully open, the petals looked soft and velvety and the rose still had some of the thorns.

There was a tiny card tied on it with a bow. The woman finally picked the flower up, inhaling its sweet perfume. A closer look showed that the card was simple; a plain white with a red heart on the cover card. Interested, she opened it to find a handwriting she knew way too well.

It's just like you… Priceless.

It didn't need a signature; she knew exactly who it was from. A smile blossomed on her face as she stole a glance at the man sitting in front of her, just in time to catch his discreet smile.

Maybe she'd have a date tonight, after all.


Can't promise regular updates, new school is a bitch, but I'll try, alright?

Reviews? Pleeease?
