Shades

Summary: You can hide a lot under a pair of sunglasses.

Disclaimer: Don't own them.

There is a lot that you can hide under a pair of sunglasses. Not, that he has anything to hide. No sir. He was a good boy. Sometimes…most of the time…okay…50 percent with a chance of moving between 40 and 60 percent. So, overall, he was a good boy on a sliding scale.

Now in his opinion, the most important use of sunglasses was to protect your poor sensitive eyes from the sun especially on those bright summer days. When the light just so intense that it wants to burn your eyes out of your skull, but oh, look…sunglasses are here to save the day! He forgot about the bugs. How could he forget about the bugs? You know the annoying ones that fly right in your eye when you are riding your bike or walking down the street. BANG! Bug attack! Those suck big time. It also protects your eyes from dog's drool because they always want to go for the eyes when they lick your face.

There was another important use of sunglasses is to cover your eyes when you went to that party and stay a little too long. He wasn't not talking those types of hook ups. He was talking about the hangover. You can't let anyone see those bloodshot eyes and killer headache. Nope, you have to be a sun ninja. Avoid the painful sun rays as it hits your eyes while in the car, in the park lot and from your co-workers especially his coworkers. They are just evil like that and would drag him out in the sun for no reason. Just torture him and give them the feeling like he was the wicked witch screaming that I'm melting…I'm melting just from the sun and not from water. You know…that is a pretty good description of a hangover.

Another important use of sunglasses is to hide that you are sick. Nothing said awful morning than running nose and puffy eyes. Oh, god, he hated being sick. You couldn't breathe out of your nose. Sometimes, you can't hear out one of your ears because you are just stuffed up. You do the whole head tilt in hopes of getting it out. Nothing works…that kind of sucks.

Being sick sucked so badly.

Another important use of sunglasses is totally a coolness factor. Look at them. You can go a whole slick and stylish look. You could go with the goofy look or the wacky. They can make you look like a secret agent or that weird guy from CSI: whatever. You can't go wrong with a cool pair of shades.

Supposedly, you can get them all fancy up and use them when you are driving.

Huh…isn't something.

The most important use of sunglasses is well…to keep people out and to block out what he didn't want people to see. Eyes and souls and all that jazz. It is funny. He didn't learn that when he joined the force or even when he joined NCIS. No, he learned years ago at home. He learned that lesson well. He carried that lesson for years. When he joined NCIS…he realized that trick wasn't going to work anymore. They just knew. Maybe, because their demons are bigger and stronger. They knew the importance of sunglasses.

It didn't matter…did it?

They could still see right through him.

A/N: This came from a random prompt…shades. I had no clue what to write that week. So, I decided just started it and slowly become a Deeks sort of story. XD Bunnies are weird. Anyway, read and review if you wish.
