Disclaimer - All NCIS LA characters etc aren't mine and Dave Kalstein is amazing!

I got tired of waiting for a post-fifth man fic so decided to write one, first NCIS LA fic, hope it's okay :)

Hetty: "Go gome, I will take care of the rest dear"

Kensi: "Are you sure?"

Hetty: "Yes, it's been a long day, go, get some rest!"

Reluctantly Kensi left barely able to keep her eyes open after the emotional rollercoaster the day had brought. Astrid was safe and sound, the mission was complete. There was really nothing further she could do at this point.

Kensi had barely sat down on her couch when there was a knock at her door.

Kensi sighed to herself knowing exactly who it would be.

Angrily she opened the door: "Deeks you shouldn't..."

He cut her off: "Remember when you said you owed me a beer everyday for the rest of my life?" He said cheerily smiling at her.

Kensi: "Um actually you said that and remember when I told you that I had plans everyday for the rest of my life?"

Deeks: "Touché..."

There was a standoff at the door as Kensi blocked him from entering folding her arms across her chest unimpressed.

Deeks: "We don't have to talk" he held up the six pack of beers he had carried with him "and besides, I come bearing gifts" he flashed her his trademark smile.

Kensi: "I'm tired"

Deeks: "Tomorrow is Saturday"

Kensi: "So what's your point?"

Deeks: "You can sleep in"

Kensi: "Shouldn't you be spending your time with that fitness model you've been seeing?" She sighed trying to get him to leave her alone.

Deeks: "Yeah...um...well apparently she didn't like me not taking her to Vegas..."

Kensi: "So you got dumped?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

Deeks: "Well... no... I wouldn't call it dumped exactly"

Kensi: "You so got dumped!" She was smiling at this point trying to not laugh as Deeks continued to come up with excuses about how he was not dumped. In the process of the conversation he invited himself into her place planting himself firmly on her couch. He stretched his arms over his head in an exaggerated gesture opening a beer for himself.

Kensi: "Really?"

Deeks: "What?"

Kensi: "Make yourself comfortable why don't you?"

Deeks: "Oh if you insist" He kicks his shoes off and puts his feet up on her coffee table, smiling his trademark goofy grin as Kensi glared at him.

Deeks: "So what are we watching here? Top Model? I don't think I can handle Top Model you know it's just too soon after the break up, I'm still heart broken." Deeks' joked in an overly dramtic fashion - he had clearly taken notes from the opera he had gone to see.

Kensi: "Yeah right you were with her for a week!"

Deeks: "Wounds take time to heal Kens..." The conversation suddenly turned serious in tone as they shared a knowing glance.

Kensi sighed: "Can you please go home." She said knowing where the conversation was heading.

Deeks: "No... I don't want to waste a perfectly good beer" he smiled trying to lighten up the conversation again offering her one.

Kensi: "Fine you can stay but, I have one condition..." She stated taking the beer from him.

Deeks: "Which is?"

Kensi: "We don't talk about today"

Deeks: "Done." He moved his beer toward her "cheers"

Kensi: "Cheers." She clanged her bottle against his as they sat in silence for a minute before Deeks finally said something.

Deeks: "So, are we just going to sit here staring at a blank screen?"

Kensi: "Yep. Wanna go home yet?" She suggested smiling at him.

Deeks: "Ahuh I see what you're trying to do, I'm onto you Fern"

Kensi: "Oh my god! What is it with you and that stupid name?"

Deeks: "You love it, c'mon I know you do!"

Kensi: "No I don't."

Deeks: "Yes you do!"

Kensi: "Don't"

Deeks: "Do."

Kensi: "Don't"

Deeks: "Do. You know this could go on all night right?"

Kensi: "Don't and no it won't because I will win."

Deeks: "Ah yes you do and no you won't."

They were interrupted by a text Kensi received.

Deeks: "Who is it?"

Kensi: "Hetty."

Deeks: "What'd she want?"

Kensi: "She told me to go to bed and get some rest"

Deeks: "Really?"

Kensi: "Yep. And she also said that you should get some rest too"

Deeks: "Hah! Nice try Fern, she didn't say that."

Kensi: "Actually she did." Kensi handed the phone over to him.

Deeks: "What? How does she know I'm here?"

Kensi: "She's Hetty, she knows everything."

Deeks: "Well if that's what the boss ordered then who am I to argue with her?" He said standing up. "C'mon we're going to bed."

Kensi: "We?"

Deeks: "Hetty said we needed rest" he said with that goofy grin back on his face.

Kensi: "Yeah well she didn't mean it like that"

Deeks: "Maybe not but you're exhausted and I'm not leaving you here alone tonight."

Kensi: "Deeks I'm fine just go."

He shook his head sighing, 'that damn word fine again' he thought to himself.

Deeks: "No I'm not leaving you, I'll crash right here on the couch"

They argued back and forth until Deeks had finally reached his limit: "Hetty told me what happened to you after your dad died." He blurted out...

To be continued...
