The mission ended only two hours ago. They got the bad guys and once again the good won against the bad because after all, that's what they are trained for and what they do best. Kensi and Deeks had to pack their things and leave the cover house. Kensi must admit, she will miss this house, she really enjoyed living here, pretending to be married to the one man who seems to bring out the very best in her and makes her happier than she has ever been. One day she will marry him, at least that's what she hopes but for now getting their own place together seems like a perfect next step.

They are all sitting at their desks, catching up on some paperwork, or in Kensi's case drowning in her thoughts. She gets called back to reality hearing her partner's voice, who seems to be done with all the work, noticing her thoughts are in another place.

"Come on Kens, it's been a long day, we're going home." He says, throwing his bag over his shoulder.

"Yes please, I am exhausted."

"You're going home .. together ?" Callen looks up from his papers.

Deeks turns around facing the team leader. "Really? Come on guys, it's been how long since we told you? Two months?" "Still processing it." Sam smirks.

"Anyway, ready sunshine?" Deeks tries to get out of this conversation.

"I am." Kensi answers while Deeks throws an arm around her.

"Where exactly are you guys going?" Callen asks when they start making their way towards the exit of the building.

Deeks stops, turning around with narrowed eyebrows and confusion written all over his face. Did he hear that right? Was Callen actually asking about their personal life? Trying to find things out about their relationship? He really didn't know what to think about it and had no idea how to answer this question in the right way.

"Excuse me?" Deeks finally gets out.

"I mean, you don't have the cover house anymore so you guys don't really have a – how shall I call it?- a shared home?" Callen continues.

"Deeks' place pretty much is my home." Kensi answers, meeting Deeks gaze.

Deeks smiles at the words, making the sparkle in his ocean blue eyes become bigger in only seconds. No one will ever understand what that means to him coming from her.

"And her apartment pretty much became my home too, although we spend most of the time at my place."

Sam is packing up his things, laughing at the conversation they are having. It makes sense to him they spend most of the time at Deeks his place. He has only been in Kensi's apartment once, when Granger suspected her of the murder of every single member of her father's team, and he had to be honest, her place looked like a mess.

"Okay, point proven." Callen says, getting up from his chair.

"It is going to change though." Kensi adds to the conversation.

"It is?"

"It sure is." Deeks answers full of excitement. "We are going to get our own place."

Sam places a hand on Deeks shoulder which surprises Deeks for a second. Is this supposed to be some kind of 'congratulations'? Maybe a 'good luck'? After all, he is going to live together with Kensi Marie Blye which could get really interesting but he can't wait for it. It will be a challenge some days, he is truly aware of that but what relationship isn't? He has waited really long for her, for them and nothing is going to take that away from him. No challenge is too big to overcome as long as they have each other. After all, she never fails to make him smile, make him feel better or make a bad moment better just because of her presence and her beautiful mismatched eyes.

"Already?" Sam finally starts speaking.

Kensi lifts her head to the side, not the reaction she was expecting.

"Yes." She answers rather harsh.

Deeks tightens his grip around her hearing that answers. Only hearing the tone in her voice he knows that answer doesn't exactly satisfy her.

Sam raises his hands in front of him, like he is asking for mercy. He doesn't want to be attacked by Kensi because everyone knows she is pretty unbeatable, especially when it comes down to something she really cares about. And to say that she cares about Deeks, about their relationship is just an understatement.

Kensi just wants to get out of there, get some take out and a beer and spend the night on the couch. "Good night." She says while she and Deeks start walking to the exit again. "See you guys after the weekend."

The car ride home was rather quiet, not many words where said but looks, looks were definitely shared. Deeks was staring at his left hand were the wedding band used to be only hours ago. One day he was going to marry her, no doubt about that. It would be the greatest honor and one of the proudest moments in his life, being the one man that has the privilege to marry this extraordinary woman.

But he can't help but think about the reaction of Sam 'already?' and then the look on his face, like he really thinks this isn't the right thing to do for them. Why would he even think that? Doesn't he believe their relationship is strong enough? It takes his enthusiasm and excitement down for a moment. Were they really moving too fast? Is Kensi actually down for this or didn't she want to refuse my offer in the middle of a mission? Not wanting to start a fight and losing our focus? His head is full of thoughts and he has no idea if he needs to voice them or just keep them for himself? Terrible communication skills. The words Kensi said to him suddenly popped up in his head. He can't keep doing this, they have to talk about things like this now they finally started to really communicate, in both ways.

Kensi parks in front of Deeks his apartment. Deeks makes his way towards to kitchen while Kensi drops down on the couch. Deeks comes out of the kitchen with two beers in his hands, taking a seat right next to her, handing her one of the beers.

"You know me so well." Kensi says, taking the beer out of his hand leaving a kiss on his scruff.

Deeks just smiles, opening his bottle of beer.

Kensi notices how quiet Deeks has been since they left the bullpen, since they had that conversation with Callen and Sam. Did she say something that upset him? Was he having second thoughts? She sure hopes not because she has been thinking about getting their own place all the time since the moment they agreed on doing it. It gives her some kind of comfort. It already feels like a safe haven, even though they don't even have one yet. The things this man does to her, it's unreal. She never expected someone to be able to do that to her but somehow he made his way through all her walls and she couldn't be more grateful for that.

"What's wrong?" She finally breaks the silence.

Deeks looks up to meet her gaze. "It's nothing, just .."

"It's about that little talk we had with Sam and Callen, isn't it?"

"Sort of, it just made me think about something."

Kensi narrows her eyes, wondering what it could be. "Want to share?"

Deeks turns to his right, taking her hands in his. Looking for the right words before he starts talking again, after all he doesn't want to mess this up.

"You do really want this right? I mean, getting our own place together? You didn't just agree with it because you didn't want to upset me during a mission? Because for the record I never lose my focus so don't worry about that .."

Kensi rolls her eyes at his attempt of putting some humor in this rather serious conversation.

"Yes, I know we have only been officially together for less than three months but we actually have been together for much longer." Deeks stops at these words, his eyes widen. He was rambling and he actually didn't plan to get these words out. Their partnership has always been more than 'just partners' but he wasn't planning on putting that out there just now.

"I know." Kensi smiles. They both knew exactly what he meant with those words. "We have been together for quite some time, huh?"

Deeks looks down at his hands, a smile developing on his face. "We definitely have princess."

"To answer your question though.. Yes, I do really want this and I feel like we are ready for this. We already spend every day together and I don't want it to be any other way. So yes, absolutely! I am hundred percent positive that I want this."

Deeks cups her face, moving his thumb back and forward over her cheek. He leans in, meeting her lips with his. Kensi easily follows, wrapping her arms around his neck. They pull apart, meeting each other's gaze again.

"Let's order some take out, shall we? I am starving. Any suggestions?" Kensi asks while she reaches out for her phone.

"I am actually craving some Yummy Yummy Heart Attack." Deeks answers realizing it has been too long since they had that.

"Yummy Yummy Heart Attack it is." Kensi answers while she dials the number.
