Hei guys!

So, this story is a bit late... I actually began to write it on February 24., 2011 (Personal aired on the 22.) but never had the guts to publish it... It starts 2 days after and continues through the season, it ends sometime after The Job, because there are some references to it in the storyline. It will probably have two chapters, the first one is friendship/a bit of romance and the second one will be hurt & comfort and a friendship and romance mix... I apologize if there are any mistakes in the text, English is not my first language.

Okay, enough of me talking, here you go & hope you will enjoy reading it! :)

Chapter 1

It's 07:30 in the morning in the OPS center in LA. Kensi, Callen and Sam are training, doing their usual routine. Then Hetty comes in and behind her, there's Deeks. The teams stops what they are doing and stare at Hetty and the recently shot team member. Callen is the first one to speak and Kensi barely recognizably smiles towards her partner, she thinks nobody saw it but Deeks stares at her and smiles back. Callen is the first one who breaks the silence "You already back Deeks?" Deeks nods and responses; "Yeah, Nurse Debbie says I'm a quick healer." Kensi is rolling her eyes now "I still don't get it." Callen and Sam look at each other puzzled, because they don't know what's going on, but Deeks knows exactly what's on her mind "And I think you never will." she rolls her eyes again.

Hetty interrupts them "So, with Mr. Deeks back we will need to teach him how to change day to day routines, which make you less vulnerable by becoming a target. You can all see that Miss Blye is doing that so successfully that the Chechens had to use a bait to keep her in one place." That's when Deeks interrupts her "But the bait did save her life…", after that, everybody looks at Kensi's direction, expecting her to resist and insist that she could easily save herself from the situation and that she's a big girl and that she can take care of herself but, instead of that, Kensi nods in agreement. Callen and Sam stare at her for a while but are once again interrupted by Hetty, who continues "So Miss Blye, you will teach your partner what we teach our agents!" "But how, he can't run from his place to mine every day, that's way too dangerous, risky and long!" Hetty continues "You will figure that one out on your own; I think that is the purpose of the training." Kensi and Deeks just look at each other, they will discuss this later…

After a few months, when Kensi and Deeks had a coffee stop on the way to OPS center from interviewing a suspect, Deeks suddenly started the conversation about his training "So what are we going to do about me sleeping and staying at my place while we start training?" "I honestly don't know but you can come to my place after work, and we will consider the possibilities."

Later that evening, it was more of a nigh thought, Deeks knocked on Kensi's door. She screamed "I'm coming, I'm coming!" she looked under the thin curtains covering her front window, just like the last time, saw Deeks and turned the key to let him in. He noticed that she was already in her pajamas, or a pair of old sweats, and he couldn't help but smile at how adorable she was, she smiled back and looked at the bag he was carrying. They went over to the couch to sit down, as he put 2 beers on the table, just like the last time he was here, when Kensi was injured and hurt and he came by with a smoothie, beers and a burger just to see her, to make sure she was okay, because he cared so much about her. He didn't know if she knew that or not (she probably did), but he was almost sure that she had to have some feelings for him too.

He handed her a beer and she opened it with her bare hands, and wanted to do the same with his, just like the last time. But during the process of reaching for it she remembered that at the time he was injured and that now he was not and perfectly capable at opening his beer by himself. She smiled at her mistake, and then glanced at her partner; he looked up just in time to see her smile and smiled back. For a few moments, they just looked at each other, appreciating the other's company as a million of thoughts ran through their minds, just like some time ago, when she was kidnapped by the Russians and he saved her life, falling on the ground hard and first, so she landed on top of him and they just stared at each other's eyes… they almost kissed then, a big almost… or maybe not.

Kensi was the first one to stop staring as she broke the silence. "So, we are here to figure something out, aren't we?" That pulled Deeks out of his thoughts of how it would feel to kiss her and to hold her close… he answered her. "Yes, of course, the training" and he thought she could see right through him and read his mind, he wondered if she sometimes had the same ideas as he was having now? Probably not… Kensi continued; "I do run a lot but from my place to yours, and a few miles after that… I don't think I could keep that up." Deeks "Yes, indeed, I would not be able to do that both… so what if you come to my place by car and we can go running from there?" Kensi's look slightly changed as she started; "No. What part of changing the routine don't you get?" "Ok, but what then? O. I have an idea, it's kind of stupid but if we don't figure something else out, it will be the only way… You've said that you have a spare bedroom and I…" that's when Kensi interrupted him; "No, don't even think! We can't do that, no way!" Deeks continues; "Oh, okay, do you have a better idea?" After a few silent minutes of not-looking-at-each other Kensi broke the silence; "Ok. But no funny stuff. This is just for the job and it's strictly business and profession."

Okay, so... what did you think? It's my first fanfic so some feedback would really be appreciated! :)

And, for those of you thinking they will go making out and stuff, I have to disappoint you because I said the second chapter will be more of a hurt & comfort style... You'll see, but any ideas and guesses are welcome! (I'll give you a hint; something that's related to Jack & Kensi's relationship will happen but Jack won't appear, just a reference! Now, guess away!) ;)

So, the next chapter will be up as soon as possible (can take 2 weeks thought) and depends if you will like it or not...
