A Box to Open

"Mr. Deeks, Ms. Blye, your undercover assignment as Mr. and Mrs. Perimore is in place. You will go under beginning tomorrow," Hetty informs the couple as they are getting ready to leave for the day.

Deeks had been thinking about it for awhile. He and Kensi have even casually discussed it, but this is the moment when Deeks decides that he does not want to only pretend to be Kensi's husband any longer. He wants to be her husband now and forever.

During the undercover op Deeks is able to sneak off to a jewelry store. He has been to enough of them with Kensi to pick out something he thinks she will love.

The Sunday after the op is over dawns bright and beautiful. Deeks decides this is the day he asks Kensi to be his wife. He had a hard time deciding where to ask her. First he thought maybe the gym where they first met, but then decided a shady part of town was not the best he could come up with. He considered having Eric and Nell set up something in OSP, but that didn't feel right either. He finally decided the beach was their place because it is where the sun meets the ocean.

"Is everything okay honey?" Kensi asks Deeks as they walk on the beach. It isn't like taking a walk on the beach holding hands on a Sunday morning is unusual for them. What is unusual is that they didn't bring Monty, Deeks is less chatty than usual, and he is more fidgety than usual.

"Yes, it's just that I have this box that I want you to open," he explains as he keeps hold of her hand, but turns to face her and gets down on one knee.

Her free hand flies to cover her gaping mouth as tears spring to her eyes.

"The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were someone special. The first time we spoke, I knew we were something special. Every day since then our thing has grown and become the amazing thing we have today. We have been through tough days and wonderful ones. I want more of the same for the rest of our lives because even the tough days are better when we are together. I don't want to just be your pretend husband. I want the real thing, which is why I am asking you to be my wife. Kensi Marie Blye, will you marry me?" he asks bringing his hand out from behind his back and holding out a box to her as he lets out a shaky breath.

"Yes," she says nodding her head as she tugs on his hand and helps him stand up. "Yes, yes, yes," she continues laughing and crying into his shoulder as she wraps her arms around his neck. "I love you so much," she says lovingly before kissing him.

"I love you too," he proclaims placing the box in her hands.

She opens it and breaths, "Deeks it's beautiful!"

He takes the ring out of the box and she holds out her hand for him to place it on her finger.

Her gigantic smile as she admires the ring on her finger tells Deeks he did well.

"Did you like what was in the box?" he teases.

"It's perfect. I can't believe you just asked me to marry you. We're engaged!" she exclaims incredulously giddy.

He laughs as she goes all girly girl on him holding her ring up to the sunlight and still admiring it.

"Should we tell anyone else what was in the box?" he asks.

"Maybe tomorrow, today I want my fiancée all to myself," she declares as she leans in to kiss him again.
