Work Text:
Tony is tall and tanned and he fills the gaps between them with words because Ziva is here and Ziva doesn't know about them. He finally comes down from the euphoric high of seeing Gibbs again; his bright smile more brittle as the hours pass.
He sounds so young. "I missed you, boss."
"I know ... DiNozzo." He meets Tony's eyes briefly as he answers his cell; shoulders his way past Tony's warm and solid mass, and doesn't stop.
Later, while Ziva works her magic with the coroner, Tony murmurs, "I gotta be Leia again?" and they share a secret smile.
