Chapter 1

Getting Sam and Callen into the building was unsurprisingly difficult in their current intoxicated states. Deeks pulled Sam out of the car first and with Kensi's help they managed to get him inside without drawing too much attention to themselves.

Once he was settled in the Bullpen, Kensi and Deeks went back to get his still dozing partner. By the time both senior agents were inside and laying comfortably side by side on the couch it was approaching seven o'clock.

Kensi was exhausted to say the least. She desperately needed a coffee and by the zombified look of her yawning ex-partner, he could use some caffeine too so she made her way to the kitchen and grabbed two mugs out of the overhead cupboard.

Deeks followed her to the door but decided to sit at the table instead so she wouldn't feel crowded. From here he could watch her and not be in her way as she made their coffee and put on two slices of toast.

Kensi didn't even have to ask how Deeks liked his coffee, she made it the way she remembered and it was exactly how he loved it! She even put the milk in before the boiling water which gave the coffee a creamier taste. After the milk had blended with the coffee powder, she slowly added the water and stirred it until the mug was steaming at the top and the liquid within the mug was a beautiful rich brown.

The smell immediately filled the tiny room and both Kensi and Deeks took a second to appreciate the aroma of freshly made coffee!

"Kens, you really are amazing!" Deeks smiled at her when she brought him his mug and placed it down in front of him.

"That's what people keep telling me," Kensi replied lightly with a gentle laugh.

Deeks grinned but said nothing. Kensi quickly disappeared back into the kitchen to finish making breakfast. When the toast popped she pulled each slice from the toaster and spread a decent amount of butter over them, letting the butter melt into the bread before adding a layer of jam.

"It's weird being back," Deeks mused when Kensi joined him a few seconds later. He took the toast she offered him and smiled his thanks. "In one way it feels like I never left and in another…"

"It's like you were gone for years?" Kensi raised her eyebrows at him across the bench.

"Yeah," he answered thoughtfully. "I didn't think I'd see this place again and certainly not be sitting here with you again!"

"Kind of feels like old times?" Kensi smiled at him, "I miss those times."

"Me too," Deeks placed the last piece of his toast into his mouth and watched as Kensi pushed her plate away after just a few small bites. "You still not hungry?"

"No," she answered simply with a shake of her head. "I will eat later."

"I'm going to hold you to that!" Deeks promised and met her eyes so she could see he meant it. "I caused this mess and I'll help clean it up… so to speak."

Kensi was too tired to argue so she nodded instead, "ok."

The sound of a door opening outside the kitchen alerted the pair that someone had arrived for work and was now walking towards the stairs.

"Probably Nell or Eric," Kensi stated and began gathering their things. "We should get moving. I have to come up with a good reason why Callen and Sam are unconscious on the couch together before Hetty comes in and gives them what for! Though they really deserve a good talking to after last night!"

"That was one hell of a night," Deeks laughed as he emptied his mug. "Man, I forgot how good your coffees are!"

Kensi grinned and stood up, "worth coming back for?"

"Definitely!" Deeks couldn't help but chuckle as he followed Kensi to the sink. Together they washed up and made two more cups of coffee before leaving the room.

"Here we go again," Kensi took one mug in her hand and walked towards the Bullpen with Deeks close behind. "You wake Sam and I'll wake Callen."

"Why do I have to wake Sam?" Deeks whined. "Last time he saw me here he wanted to kill me! Granted I deserved it but still…"

"Stop being such a baby!" Kensi shook her head in mock annoyance. "Since you are so scared of Sam, we'll switch. You wake Callen & I will wake Sam… Happy?"

"Very!" Deeks threw Kensi his signature grin which, of course, she tried to pretend didn't affect her but he could see her cheeks flush and knew it had nothing to do with her exhaustion.

It felt so strange to him to be back in the place he had spent so much of his time before he had run away and convinced himself he would never return to, yet here he was standing in the very room that just seven months ago he had lost control of himself and hurt the one person he cared about more than anyone on this planet! It was almost like a dream that was too good to be true!

Kensi reached the couch that currently held her two sleeping teammates and carefully knelt down in front of Sam. Deeks took a moment to watch her as she lightly touched the older man's face and gently said his name in order to wake him up.

It took a few tries before Sam began to stir…

"Wh…What h…happened?" He wondered aloud and his left hand reached up to touch his no doubt throbbing head. His eyes then found Kensi's and he frowned, "why are you in my room?"

Kensi muttered something that Deeks would not repeat and handed Sam his coffee, "Sam you are at work."

"I'm at work?" Sam was so confused, Deeks could literally see his mind working as he tried to piece together what was going on but he kept coming up empty. "What am I doing at work? It's the weekend. I shouldn't be at work!"

"Sam do you not remember last night?" Kensi was doing her best to remain calm and be patient but her tolerance level was running thin at this point and when Sam shook his head, Kensi nearly lost it. "Well you and your idiot partner got stuck out in the middle of nowhere, decided to drink yourselves stupid and I had to come out and pick you up. I brought you both back here so you could sober up and get sorted but obviously that's not going to happen! I suggest you drink your coffee and get your sorry butt up from that couch before Hetty comes in and…"

"Um … Kensi,"

"Not now Deeks," Kensi huffed over her shoulder at Deeks who had crept forward a step and was now standing right behind her trying to get her attention. It was no use however because Kensi was in the middle of a rant that was far from over. The only person who could stop her now was the one person who inevitably did and it only took one sound from the fifth person now standing in the room to get all of them to pause and look up…

"Ha-hmmm," Hetty cleared her throat and folded her arms over her chest. It always amazed Deeks how this seemingly small, petite women could have such a terrifying effect on a highly skilled team of federal agents and yet here was the proof. Even Callen had awoken and was now peering at his boss through half closed eyelids, his expression a mix of guilt and fear. "Thank you for informing me of last nights events Miss Blye, I will take it from here."

"But…"

"You should go home and get some sleep," Hetty suggested as she turned away from her senior agents to study her junior agent. "And a nice cup of hot tea, not coffee, would do you the world of good my dear!"

Kensi narrowed her eyes and stood her ground, "I have work to do."

"You can catch up tomorrow," Hetty replied leaving no room for argument this time. Her suggestion of going home was clearly not a suggestion but an order. "Now get going. I don't want to see you back here until tomorrow morning."

Kensi sighed in defeat, "I guess I will see you tomorrow then."

"Indeed," Hetty smiled triumphantly and turned to Deeks who visibly shivered upon feeling her eyes on him. "Mr Deeks I should think it best for you to also go home and get a good night's sleep because tomorrow I want to see you in my office bright and early. I have a lot of things to discuss with you and just in case you are thinking about running again…"

Hetty pulled a small silver can out of her pocket and swiftly sprayed something on the back of Deeks's arm, "overwatch spray. As you know it does not wash off so you cannot hide from me Mr Deeks!"

Deeks gulped and nodded, "got it."

"Good," Hetty took the mug of coffee that Deeks was still holding in his now shaking hands and pointed towards the doors. "Now both of you go home!"

Kensi didn't need to be told twice, she grabbed hold of Deeks sleeve and gave it a tug. He immediately fell into step with her and they headed out to the car park.

"Do you want me to drop you at your place or did you want to crash at mine?" Kensi asked as Deeks climbed into the passenger seat and put his belt on. Kensi started the engine and waited patiently for Deeks to answer.

"I know it sounds pathetic but …" Deeks glanced at Kensi with a lost look in his blue eyes. The way he was looking at her reminded Kensi of a lost puppy. "I'm not ready to face going home after so long being away. That being said, I know we've obviously mended a few bridges together since last night but if you don't feel comfortable with me coming to yours then please tell me Kens because the last thing I want to do is make you feel uncomfortable."

"I trust you Deeks," Kensi reached over the centre console and placed her hand on his knee, giving it a gentle squeeze as she smiled warmly at him. "You're more than welcome at my place and I think you'll like my new roommate too!"

Deeks's eyebrows shot up in surprise, "you have a roommate? Is she a maid?... She must be a maid if she's living in your apartment! I mean, no offense Kens but unless you've completely changed your hoarding habits since the last time I was over, she would have to be either a maid or another hoarder to be ok with all your 'stuff'."

"Firstly, I'm not a hoarder! I just have a lot of 'stuff' and secondly he doesn't mind because he is a gentleman," Kensi replied defensively as she turned the car onto the main road.

Deeks gasped loudly and shook his head to try and clear his suddenly clouded mind. Kensi had let another guy move into her house! His Kensi! What the hell?

"So, you and this…this guy, you're living together?"

"Yes," Kensi smiled knowing she was throwing Deeks through a loop. She knew he would be upset and confused by this news but she knew Deeks would be ok once he saw who her roommate actually was. He had no reason to worry, not that Kensi was going to stop teasing him anytime soon. "You can stop freaking out, we aren't sleeping together… well we are but not like that…"

Deeks was completely dumbfounded, "what does that mean? Either you are sleeping with him or you're not sleeping with him! Wait…. Does Sam and Callen know about this?"

"They do,"

"And they're ok with it?"

"Yes, they are... It took a bit of convincing that I would be ok with the extra being in the house but eventually he won them over too. He is very charming!"

"Well I guess I'm about to meet him," Deeks let out a heavy sigh as they drove onto Kensi's driveway and Kensi put the car into park before turning it off.

"You're going to love him!" Kensi promised.

Deeks followed her in silence to the front door and stood awkwardly behind her while she unlocked it. So many things were racing through his head. Kensi had always been 'his' Kensi. It was always Kensi and Deeks not Kensi and whoever this new guy was!

Deeks was no idiot, he knew he had lost his chances with Kensi a long time ago and he'd never expect or hope to have her love him the same after what he had done to her but the thought of another guy with the love of his life/best friend was sickening and Deeks found it increasingly hard to breathe…

As soon as the door flew open Deeks saw who the roommate was and his fear and anxiety were instantly replaced by an overwhelming feeling of foolishness. He really should've known better!

Not knowing whether he should laugh or cry at this point, Deeks turned to Kensi with the widest grin spread across his face. "I can't believe you tricked me like that!"

The sound of Deeks's voice immediately caught the intruder's attention and suddenly there was a flurry of excitement. Deeks found himself at the centre of all the commotion and knelt down to kiss his long-lost buddy on the nose before he grinned up at Kensi happily, "you kept him?"

"He's a part of the family, I couldn't throw him out just because you left!" Kensi smiled, watching the pair reunite on her living room floor. Monty's tail was wagging so hard and fast that it was just a flash of movement behind him, he was so overjoyed to have his two favourite people back in his life! "Besides, I was kind of hoping you would come home one day and come back to us."

"I'm so grateful Kens, I really am!" Deeks stood up again and quickly embraced Kensi in a gentle hug. "I love you Kensi!"

"I love you to Deeks!" Kensi held him in her arms tightly, not wanting to ever let him go. She let her head rest against his broad shoulder and closed her eyes feeling warm and safe for the first time in months. He was back! He was really back!
