I had moved to DC and joined an old friend of mine at NCIS, we had talked for awhile and she said I could move in with her. Truth be told, I've had feelings for her since the day we met, but we work together, we can't, and I hate my heart.

As the clock on my computer hit 9pm I gathered my things and headed for the door saying goodbyes and goodnights to the team as I headed out for the weekend, I shoveled myself into my car and headed home. As I pulled into my parking spot outside my apartment building I took the key out of the ignition and rested my head on the steering wheel for a second, I took a few deep breathes trying to clear my head but it wasn't working, so I decided to finally get out of my car.

I hopped on the glass elevator and watched as the ground grew further, and further away, my mind wondered.

I was brought back to reality by the ding of the elevator letting me know I reached my floor, I fumbled with my keys as I walked to my door and thoughts like the ones from the elevator didn't stop.

I unlocked the door and found Ziva on the couch in the living room watching something on Netflix,
"Hey, what took you so long?" She teased, I rolled my eyes and smiled closing the door behind me,
"I took the scenic route,"I responded dropping my bag near the door, Ziva let out a loud chuckle and I could practically hear her smirk.
"So, you got lost," she laughed, if it wasn't for her beautiful laugh I think that might've hurt,
"Wha- No, I just- I'm not explaining myself." I said walking to the kitchen, I heard her get up and walk towards me, I reached into the fridge and grabbed two beers, one for me and one for her.

"Wanna watch a movie tonight," Ziva asked opening her bottle, I turned around and opened mine before answering,
"Sure, but I'm gonna change first, and no rom-coms." I insisted, after I said no rom-coms Ziva looked at me like I had just killed her dog in front of her, I simply chuckled and walked away.

I got to my room and went through my closet looking for something comfy when I found one of Zivas hoodies, should I tell her she accidentally gave me one of her hoodies last time she did laundry, yes, am I, this feels self explanatory of course not. In my defense it's soft and smells like her, I threw it on and grabbed a pair of shorts then headed back to the living room.

"Is that my sweatshirt," Ziva asked, I tried to play it off like I had no idea hoping she wouldn't catch on,
"Oh my god, sorry I didn't realize do you want it back I could go-" she cut me off and smiled at me, "It's fine, it looks good on you." My brain just about short circuited at the compliment as we sat down on the couch,
"So what movie are we watching," I asked, she smirked which made me nervous,
"The conjuring." She replied.

I sighed regretting letting her choose the movie. With every jump scare, ominous noise, or creepy camera angle I moved closer to her, until after a jump scare scared me so much I jumped noticing I had originally had my arms wrapped around Ziva. My face flushed and I backed up a bit giving her some room,
"You catch murderers for a living but a movie is where you draw the line." Ziva teased, I playfully punched her arm.

After about another half hour I found myself back in Ziva's arms trying to hide my from the movie,  Ziva chuckled and held me tighter every once in awhile teasing me saying she'll protect me or fight the monsters. After about another ten minutes I had forgotten about the movie and was just enjoying her holding me and fell asleep in her arms.

I woke up a few hours later in my room with the blanket that was on the couch thrown over me, I rolled over and picked my phone up off my nightstand nearly getting blinded when it turned on, the clock read 3am.

"Well shit." I sighed, I sat up in my bed running my hands over my face, I let out a heavy sigh then walked around my bed and open my window. The air was chilly but not quite cold, I took a deep breathe and smiled to myself as I exhaled, I could see my breathe. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and checked the time,

Holy shit, it's a quarter to four.

I chuckled lightly deciding out of impulse I was now pulling an all nighter, I started playing All Eyes On Me on my phone trying to keep the volume low. I closed my window and went back and sat on my bed turning on my lamp, I put my phone face down on my nightstand and laid back folding my hands behind my head and closing my eyes.

I stayed like this until the song was over, when I open my eyes again I saw Ziva standing my doorway.
"Sorry did my music wake you up, I'll turn it down I-" she cut me off by raising her hand and slowly shaking her head.
"It's fine, I just," she paused," wanted to talk, about something." Ziva rasped, god her sleepy voice was making me melt.
"Sure, I'm all ears." I smiled patting a spot on my bed beside me,
"Actually, can I just have a hug?" She asked rubbing the back of her neck, I got up without hesitation and pulled her into me.

I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and she wrapped hers around my waist, she leaned down and rested her chin on my shoulder. As I got more and more used to her touch I melted into her embrace, after another minute or two she pulled away and we sat down on my bed and just talked for what felt like hours.

"Why do you listen to sad music when you're sad?" Ziva asked laying down next to me,
"I don't know, I guess it just helps me clear me mind, it's for me what cleaning your guns is for you." I tried to explain, she nodded and we sat in comfortable silence, I hummed along to the song and started tapping my foot on the baseboard of my bed, then I felt her soft hand on my cheek. Ziva turned my head so I was looking at her, I could feel my face go a bit red.

"Y/n, have you ever been in love?" She asked with a smile, I was taken aback by her question, it wasn't like Ziva to open up about this kind of thing.
"I-I think so," I replied trying to keep my voice steady, she raised an eyebrow at me telling me to elaborate.
"Awhile ago I met this girl, she was smart, and funny, and sarcastic, and just fun to be around, I knew when I met her I felt something for her." I gushed, "We had worked together for awhile and I thought my feelings would go away, but I guess being around her all the time would make it worse. I'd never felt feelings like that before, it felt so raw and powerful that when she'd talk to me all I could focus on was her, like we were the only two people alive." I rambled.

"What happened to you and her," Ziva asked kind of invested in the story at this point.
"Nothing. Nothing happened because I'm too much of a wimp to ask her out." I replied laughing at myself still looking at her, I turned completely on my side to face Ziva.
"But I think this is the part where I ask that girl to kiss me," I admitted my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest, Ziva stared at me for a moment before grabbing my face and pulling me into a passionate kiss.

Neither of us broke the kiss for awhile, but eventually I pulled away for air, we were softly panting and I rested my forehead against hers.
"I knew it." Ziva giggled pulling me into another kiss.
