Aww, McGee made up with his dad! Also, "Cute, innocent, fluffy little Israeli"? Adorable! We know who Tony thinks about! I don't own the song, it's owned by Kyle Andrews. Good song though!
I Just Know I Can't Stop Thinking of You
Tony and Ziva walk back to the building after grabbing a cup of coffee. Both are silent after seeing McGee practically run to his car. Once in the bullpen, Ziva sets her cup down and asks, "Do you think McGee is okay?" Tony looks up at her smirking a little at how innocent his little Israeli can really be.
"He's fine Zi. He's probably just late for some Big Brother thing or whatever." Tony states as he scribbles on one of his case papers.
"Well, I think it is sweet. McGee seems to enjoy mentoring Adam. His father did not seem to do that for him." Ziva remarks curious about what Tony is doing.
"Yeah, I felt sorry for him. I mean my dad wasn't there either, but he didn't ridicule me." He remarks adding finishing touches to his doodle.
"Yes," Ziva offhandedly states as she quietly walks toward her partner's desk. To his shock, the woman is soon peering over his paper.
"Hey!" He yells slapping his hand over his work. A smile comes to her face as she says, "Is that a picture of a rabbit?"
"No!" He counters unconvincingly. He is now slowly edging the drawing off of his desk when the paper is ripped away from his hands. Prancing back to her desk, Ziva happily looks at the picture her partner drew.
"I did not know you could draw Tony." Ziva says with a smile.
"Just fluffy bunnies Sweetcheeks." He responds causing Ziva to give him a confused look. He smirks at his partner while saying, "Didn't expect me to call you that?" The woman rolls her eyes, not going to tell him she really was not expecting him to call her by the long ago given nickname. She laughs a moment causing Tony to stare at her. Knowing he wants a response, Ziva remarks, "I sometimes wondered what would happen if my father had ever heard you call me that."
Tony nods with a smile.
"Yeah, most dads wouldn't be too thrilled about their daughter's work partner being called Sweetcheeks." The man points out. Ziva shakes her head at the remark. Only her partner would come up with such a remark. They stare at each other another moment before Ziva hands the drawing back to her partner. She grabs her jacket and is about to leave the bullpen when she turns to her partner and asks, "Why does the rabbit have 'cute, innocent, fluffy little I' above it?" Tony smiles his signature grin as he says, "Well my Israeli Ninja, I guess that's for me to know and you to find out."
Ziva rolls her eyes at the man.
"Good night, Tony!" She calls over her shoulder as she walks to the elevator. Once she leaves, Tony finishes his picture and quickly places it underneath his clean shirt drawer. Ziva would never look in there. He hopes. Reconsidering, he takes the paper and puts it with his deodorant. His cute, innocent, fluffy, little Israeli bunny should fare better there.
