I love you

She woke up this morning, same as any other day. These days when she woke up though it was from the dreams.

They had started off normal but every night they took on a more nightmarish quality. She was always a second too late to save him. every time he died the method with which he was killed was worse than the last.

So after every morning when she awoke from the nighmares she would get ready and got to work, even if it was 2 a.m. She would go because she knew there was no way she could go back to sleep after having dreams like those.

At the Office

It was now 5 a.m. and she had finished all of her paperwork from the last case and she was waiting for people to start arriving for work. She glanced at her watch and saw that it would be a a while still so she walked around her desk to start pouring herself some coffee.

Lately people started noticing she wasnt sleeping, especially the guys. They worried about her, but she would she would never tell them the truth, especially Deeks.

She was so zoned out and tired that she was just staring at the coffee pot.

"Are you going to drink that or just stare at it?" the voice sounded from right beside her.

Kensi jumped and turned around "Why the hell did you do that" She yelled.

"I knocked on the wood a few times to let you know that I was here.

Oh God Kensi thought how much was I really zoned out?

"Yeah well." Kensi replies.

"You okay Kens?"

Kensi poured her cup of coffee and turned back around to face him "Psssh of course I am, why?"

"Really?" Deeks says with his eyebrows raised.

"Okay fine I haven't slept too well, but we all have times like that right?"

Deeks face quickly changes to one of worry as he says "Are you having nightmares?"\

"None of your business." Kensi says and starts to walk away.

Deeks hand on her arm stops him, Kensi looks at him and think he really doenst need to know since they are all about him.

Deeks face turns into one of confusion "It's about me?"

She fake laughs and sets down her coffee cup " Why do you assume that its about you?"

"You just said it was."

Oh shit Kensi thought did I just say that out loud? All or nothing she thought.

"Do you love me Deeks?" Kensi asked. "Becasue every night its the same thing, I run into a building, see you laying on the ground dying. And you last words are always 'I love you Kensi'."

Tears start running down her face " I love you Deeks and that is why everytime I lose you in my dreams I freak out."

Deeks takes a step closer to her and gently cups her face runniung his thumb along her cheek. He leans in and kisses each place her tears have been. Deeks pulls back and looks at her.

"Kensi open your eyes please." Deeks says.

Kensi opens her eyes slowlly and when they are all the way open Deeks whispers to her " I love you more than you could possibly know." he trails his lips from her ear to her mouth and kisses her lightly.

He pulls back smiles and takes her hand " Come on we are going home."

"What no we can't we have to work." Kensi says defiantely.

"Its Saturday I just figured that you would be here." Deeks says and smirks.

"Oh boy I really do need sleep."

Kensi's house

Deeks takes Kensi's hand and leads her to her bedroom where he crawls into bed and pulls her down with him. "Sleep and we will talk later, I love you." Deeks whispers in her ear.

"I love you too." Kensi mumbles.

"Now that I'm here I'm staying forever, I hope you know that."

"I do and for once I'm not afraid." Kensi twists her head to kiss him.

"If you aren't here when I wake up though, I'll kick your ass." Kensi smiles as she says this.

"I would expect nothing less."

Deeks smiles and wraps his arms tighter around Kensi content with his new forever.
