AN: Inspired by the rainy weather in last night's episode, Double Identity. This is just a prologue, and I'm not sure if I would continue this or not. If I get struck with plot bunnies again, maybe? And if listening to Lady Antebellum's 'Need You Now' and Beyonce's 'Halo' would help, I would most likely post another chapter.
Disclaimers: I own nothing, sorry. Just the idea for the fanfic. But the characters, NCIS, the rainy weather, NO.
Spoilers: Nine Lives and Truth or Consequences. A little of Double Identity.
When Ziva was seven, a boy told her he liked her. She punched him and he never showed up again ever since.
20 years later, another boy named Tony not really told her that he liked her, although it was something along those lines that sort of went beyond “liking”.
Tony didn’t get punched though. Instead, he ended up on the floor with a gun pressed onto his chest. It wasn’t because of “liking” her, but he did kill another man that liked her, and it so happened that she liked him back.
Tony didn’t kill the man Ziva liked because he was jealous. But she didn’t know that back then.
Since that day, Tony flew back to his own country and Ziva thought that she would never see him again.
But she did. And she never expected it.
The boy she met when she was younger learned his lesson: To never tell an assassin-in-training that you like her. If you’re lucky, you just get punched. If not, you die of course.
But Tony. Tony, who, months ago sat tied on a chair never learned his lesson, because he told her what seemed closer to something she did not want to accept.
If circumstances had been different, he would be, without any doubt, dead, even before he could explain himself.
------
A year’s about to go by and now, as they sit across each other in the squad room, with the rain pouring down as hard as it could down the city, she couldn’t help wondering if what he said to her that day is the ‘almost-truth’ that she wants it to be. Needs it to be.
