A/N Although I'm glad we don't have to sit through a long drawn out Kensi and Deeks fight, Seeing how long it took them to get together in the first place, and the antipation of their wedding. I do believe their fight needs to be addressed. I thought I'd write a little story on the resolution. In ECO's interview on how he's playing it, he brought up a good point, which I'll add in. Takes place between arriving home from Mexico and episodes 2, with the exception of having Callen back, but on desk duty.
Review are always appreciated and I do not own NCIS LA or any of the characters.
Thank you for reading.
"How could he go on a date with her!" She slumped back in her chair at work.
"What's got you all in a tizzy? Deeks eat your last Twinkie?" Callen asked a visibly distraught Kensi as he entered the bullpen.
"Deeks," she rolled her eyes.
"Ya, you know your shaggy haired partner." Sam threw in for good measure. "Where is he anyway?"
Kensi huffed. "Who knows, probably rolling out of bed with the bimbo he was with last night."
"I'm sure glad you keep your boundaries drawn between work life and personal life," Callen teased.
"What? I absolutely do."
"Right," Sam stated. "These past two months back at work have been work and only work."
"Since the two of you broke up, it has not been a picnic around here." Callen reminded her. "The bickering is worse than when you two are together."
"What do you expect, he just jumped up to the next girl in line. I mean, Talia! And technically we didn't break up, we just postponed the wedding and decided to take some time apart outside of work." Kensi informed the two men.
Sam and Callen looked at each other. Kensi was not one to express her feelings often. Kensi returned to work as soon as they arrived home from Mexico, which put Deeks more on edge, especially since he wasn't cleared to come back to work. Deeks and Sam resumed duties about a month later and Callen had since been on desk duty leading his team, as he performed his physical therapy routine.
"How do you even know they went on a date?" Callen questioned Kensi.
"I'll show him, I'm gonna text Sabatino right now. He hit on me when we first met. He'd probably love to take me out. Get back at Deeks for beating him to a pulp when Ferris kidnapped me."
"Avoiding the question are we?" Callen interrupted her rant.
"I might have seen her going to our, his house." Kensi stammered. She had been staying with her mom for the last month. The fight before Mexico wasn't easily solved. There were many questions that needed to be addressed. Sure they seemed to patch things up at Balboa Naval Hospital, but once they returned home the problems crept up. Kensi couldn't let go that Deeks was ready to throw away their whole lives together. He couldn't convince her that he wasn't asking her to quit her job, or giving her an ultimatum, and that he was just frustrated with the events unfolding at the time. Deeks considering calling off their wedding scared Kensi beyond belief. He hurt her but he was right they needed to come to an agreement before moving forward. She felt their marriage would be unsuccessful if these questions weren't resolved prior. Both being amazing communicators, fights kept ensuing instead of resolutions. He knew her fear of what Jack did to her, and in her eyes he was doing the same thing, especially with their lack of successful conversations. To top it off, she believed he had a date with Talia. That boiled her blood.
"Let me get this straight, you were staking out your own house." Sam queried.
"Or stalking Deeks?" Callen shrugged.
"You guys are impossible. I happened to be in the neighborhood and needed something I left there. I wasn't sure I wanted to go in, so I sat there."
"We're impossible?" Sam questioned in shock. "You two need to figure this out quick before one of us gets killed in the process of your fight."
"We're not fighting! We're just," she paused not knowing any more, "done, I guess! Since he wants to see other people it seems" Kensi groaned.
"Done? Like a frozen ham is done ten minutes after it's been in the oven?" Callen chuckled.
"Touché" Deeks said as he strolled in the bullpen.
"You're late!" Kensi snarled.
"What's the matter Kensilina, no breakfast this morning? You're already Hangry."
"You don't get to call me that right now!"
"You realize you're being crazy, you realize that, right?"
"Oh no you didn't," Sam laughed.
"Crazy! Do you think this is funny!" She shouted.
"A little?" Deeks smiled his little grin.
"Well it's not! It's not anything close to funny."
"What is then? The fact that you sat outside our house for three hours last night."
"Three hours, Kens?" Callen cut in.
"Wha What are you talking about," Kensi stuttered.
"Kensi, I'm a detective and even as good of an agent as you are, I'm still gonna notice you outside our house."
"It's not our house anymore."
"It's still our house."
"Whatever! I wouldn't let Talia in our house!"
"Ok that's enough!" Sam stood up. "You two need to figure this out and soon!" He stormed off to the range.
"Sam's not wrong, Kens, why don't take the day off. We got it." Callen still leading his team gave the order.
"Me?" Kensi questioned.
"Kensi," Callen started.
"It's fine!" She stomped off.
"Was it necessary to send her home, Callen?"
"Her emotions are a mess right now. And you're not far behind. Sam's right you two need to get this figured out."
"It's not easy with her. She's not the best communicator."
"Really, Deeks?"
"Ok, I'm not the best either. But I can't communicate by myself. She doesn't want to talk."
"That's why she at outside your house for three hours? BecAuse she doesn't want to talk?"
"Every time I bring it up, she shuts it down. I never wanted to leave her. I would never leave her. I don't understand why she doesn't realize that."
"She's scared. She's been scared."
"Nothing scares her. How many times has she almost died? That scared me, not her. She's still fearless."
"She's scared of losing you."
For once Deeks was speechless. He knew Callen was right. Nothing scared Kensi Blye then losing another man she loved. "Fine. I'll go by her moms after work." He informed Callen.
"I think that would be an excellent idea. Finish up your reports and then your free to go. And Deeks, I probably wouldn't mention last night with Talia."

The night before at Kensi and Deeks house...
"Hey, sorry to bother you so late, but are you busy?" He texted.
"For you handsome, I'll make time."
"This was a bad idea."
"Ok ok, what do you need Deeks?" She texted back.
"A big favor, can you come over?"
"I'm not sure the princess would like that? Does she even know your texting me?"
"Yes or no Talia?"
"I'll see you soon."
He sat on the couch and nervously ran his fingers through his hair. He peered out the window. "How could she think I wouldn't know she's out there. Maybe I should just go talk to her." He sighed, "every time I try it ends up worse then before. Why are you so stubborn, Kensi Marie Blye."
The doorbell rang twenty minutes later. "Hey loverboy"
"Not funny, Talia."
"Well, I heard some ramblings that you and the princess were fighting, so you finally came to your senses and want to see what I have to offer."
"No, no, I just," he stopped.
"How long she been out there?"
"About an hour and a half now. I don't know how she could think I wouldn't know."
"So you called me to make her jealous."
"I know, it was a bad idea."
"Well like she always says, you are an idiot."
"I don't know how to get her to talk to me, instead of just argue. To listen. I thought we were on the right track when we got home from Mexico, but she kept bringing up the stupid fight in the garage. Nothing I said mattered."
"Have you told her this? Your here telling me, when you should be telling her."
"I know, I'm hoping that little green eyed monster she has inside her will be triggered enough for her to finally listen."
"You really love her?"
"More than anything."
"As much as I'd love to see it not work out so you might give us a chance, you two have something special. Don't let it get away."
"Thank you for understanding"
"Are you sure? Last chance Deeks?"
"I'm sure. Kensi is the only one I ever want. I realized in Mexico, even more so this last month, I'd rather spend two moments with her than 100 with anyone else. I'm sorry."
"I'll sneak out the back, she'll really be pissed if she thinks I spent the night." Talia smirked.
"Night Talia."
"Good night, Deeks."

Back at the mission current day...
Callen waited until Sam was done with his rounds. "I can't do it with those two G. They are gonna let go of something. I can't watch that. I lost something I can never get back. I get this job put strains on us all, but I told Kensi she had to figure out what she wanted before things got too deep with them."
"They get through it big guy. They have to, they've been through a lot."
"We all have G. They're driving me crazy in the process"
"Deeks said he'd go by Kensi's mom's when he's finished with his reports. Hopefully by tomorrow things will be back to normal. Or as normal as they can be without Hetty or Mosley."
"You still haven't heard from either of them?"
"No, but Hetty's the one that called Killbride. She must think he can help. I know she trusts him."
"She always has a master plan, doesn't she G?"
"That she does. I just wonder what it is this time. I can't help but think if she was here, everything would be normal again. Kensi and Deeks wouldn't be fighting. She's have some crazy words of wisdom they couldn't ignore."
"She'll turn up. It's Hetty, she shows her face when we need her most."
Callen nodded hoping his partner was correct.
