Authors Note: Sorry guys. I know I haven't written in a while but I had been busy studying for may half yearly exam which I am proud to say I have done extremely well. So hopefully now I will be able to write more often.

This is a new set of stories basically one shots set either before or after each episode of season 7. I hope that you'll enjoy.

Post 7x1 Active Measures

The car ride home had been quiet save for the odd joke from Deeks about Kensi's driving skills and the odd muttered frustration from Kensi when a driver would nearly side swipe her out. When they pulled into Kensi's driveway and went inside their world suddenly seemed brighter. Much brighter compared to the day they had just had. Chasing Callen across Los Angeles was like chasing after a stranger in the middle of a crowded city square. Almost impossible… if it hadn't been for the wonder twins up in Ops searching for him frantically.

Deeks and Kensi now sat facing each other on her couch eating take out Chinese for dinner. Deeks had already showered and changed into a pair of his Clippers shorts and white short- sleeve shirt. Monty lay at their feet snoring peacefully on the floor when Deeks stated, "Well it is official. Today was a day in the life of G. Callen. Ladies and Gentlemen thanks for watching."

"Wow Deeks. Congratulation for surviving the day. And it's official. You Marty Deeks are weird," laughed Kensi in reply.

Deeks just sat there and laughed as did Kensi at their terrible ways to start a conversation. Monty growled angrily at the couple for disturbing his peaceful sleep but it appeared that they didn't really care, "Sorry buddy, didn't mean to wake you." But even they knew they didn't really mean it as did Monty so he just returned to his original position at their feet ready to return back to his sleep.

When they finished their take out containers they threw them onto the coffee table before switching on the TV. When they finally decided on a program to watch they were both practically asleep. So instead they decided to go straight to bed. Kensi had here shower and changed into a pair of tight fitting shorts and one of Deeks's LAPD shirts and climbed into bed. Deeks was sitting up in bed clearly thinking over the day's work as looks of approval, disappointment, confusion and anger flashed across his gorgeous face.

"Hey Deeks. What's up?" asked Kensi as she propped herself up onto her right side elbow.

As if suddenly pulled out of a trance Deeks stuttered with, "What? Oh are nothing's wrong I was just thinking."

"Thinking about what?" asked Kensi slightly curiously at Deeks's replied.

He seemed to stop and have to think about his answer before he continued on, "I don't really know. One minute I'm amazed as to how Callen can just suddenly disappear like magic, the next I'm lost as to how he tried to run from us. I feel slightly disappointed at his attitude towards us, his makeshift family but I think today I was more angry than anything else because he refused help, hell he even tried to take it at Sam. I just don't understand why he just didn't want help."

Kensi sat in silence to his answer for a minute before she replied with the best answer she could give hime came to mind, "Callen has always been that type of person who dosen't want help and likes to go it alone, but like everyone else, he still cares about us and that will always be the way he is."

Although still slightly confused, Deeks seemed okay with her answer ad deep down he knew that was the Callen hiding underneath the normal Callen. A memory of the day suddenly flashed before his eyes causing his face to beam into a smile.

"What?" asked Kensi who seemed confused and annoyed at his sudden change in manner.

"I was just thinking. There was one thing that made my day. Hetty with a Taser. Now that was hilarious. Did you see the look on Eric and Nell's faces when she tasered Callen. I mean come on what can get better them that?" replied Deeks who, by the end of his conversation was nearly laughing in tears as was Kensi.

Kensi yarned signiling the end of the conversation and time for bed. Deeks took his shirt off before lying down and pulling the covers over both of them. Kensi waited for Deeks to lie down before she too layed down and rolled over to rest her head on his bare chest. She wrapped one arm around his mid centre and placed the other one I his hair while Deeks wrapped one of his around her body and the other the stroke her hair. Slowly they both began to doze off until Deeks spoke, "Hey Kens? Would you still love me if I turned out to be a monster?"

Kensi was taken aback by his sudden question, "of course I would Deeks. Because you are not the monster your dad was ok? You are the softest most annoying person I know but I wouldn't change any of "this" for the world. I Love you Deeks."

A small smile crept onto his face lighting up the ocean blues of his eyes. Love clearly written all over his face. Instead of answering her, he tilted her head up and kissed her softly, letting her know he felt the same way. When they broke apart he placed a lingering kiss on her forehead and lay there as she drifted off to sleep. But just before she dozed right off into oblivion he whispered in her ear something special and just for her ears only.

"I love you too Kens. I love you too."

So there you have it episode one complete. If it sounds a little bit cheesy I'm sorry it was the best way I could end it. I hope you enjoyed it and I will update soon. Please give your reviews and ideas so I can keep writing. Till next time.
