Other Notes: This show is seriously one of my favorite things on TV atm! I just had to write Kensi/Nate because they have great chemistry and personally, this is my favorite ship since Tiva got destroyed.

Kensi was that kind of girl. Kickass and romantic, spent her nights staring at the stars just because they looked shiny.

Nate would catch her daydreaming in the lobby, doodling a little world of her own in pages of a legal pad, intricate lines interlocking with each other. She wouldn't notice him then, too lost in the importance of the moment.

Sometimes he'd watch her in interrogation, not because his "expertise was needed", but just because. She didn't notice he was waiting outside the door, usually with an ice pack for either party. He wasn't important then, because she had nothing to prove to him.

Kensi would find Nate outside the lockers on a Friday night, immersed in Sudoku or whatever flavor-of-the week puzzle he was into. Her hair would be wet and limp against her face, she'd washed the make-up off and he'd untucked his shirt. Nate would be perched on the little park bench under the sign pointing to "Men's",chewing on an eraser, lost in whatever solace was in those little boxes.

Their eyes would meet, and he knew she noticed. Sometimes she'd sit beside him and help. The OSP was quiet, and they didn't have to pretend.
