How Kensi knew "Coyote Ugly" was Deeks favorite movie

(Season 3, Episode 2: Cyber Threat).

"This is the last time I ever let you pick the movie." Kensi complained. She was over at Deeks place, having one of their "partner bonding" times. Since she had picked the movie the last time (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, one of her favorites and a classic in its own right) and so it was only fair that Deeks got to choose this time around. Now, Kensi didn't really know what to expect (you never can tell with Deeks) but she certainly wasn't expecting this movie.

"And what's wrong with my choice?" Deeks asked, eyes never leaving the screen.

"Coyote Ugly? Come on Deeks, it's a chick flick."

"And since you are in fact a chick, you shouldn't have a problem with this movie."

"Yeah, I was a tomboy growing up." Kensi clarified.

Deeks snorted "There's a surprise."

Kensi chose to ignore his comment and continued on talking. "I mean, it's not even that great of a movie."

Deeks gasped a little. "Are you kidding me? It's an awesome movie! It has a great meaning behind it."

"Like what, move to the city and basically become a stripper?"

"Ok, A- she didn't strip, she was singing and B- the meaning is never give up on your dreams." Deeks said.

"A- when you wear clothes like that and stands on top of a bar, you are basically a stripper." Kensi countered.

"You didn't have a B, which means you agree with me." Deeks said with a smirk.

"Alright, I'll admit it does a pretty good job with the 'don't give up' viewpoint, but that doesn't validate the fact, they are basically strippers."

"I think you are just jealous that you can't dress like that at work." Deeks teased.

Kensi only snorted as a reply.

"And there we see the tomboy side of you." Deeks said. Kensi decided to take the high road and not reply.

They remained quiet for the rest of the movie, till about the very end. Kensi had just happened to glance over at Deeks (it's not like she was staring at him or anything). To her surprise, she saw what looked like a tear streak on his check. "Deeks…are you crying?"

He was quiet for a moment before he finally replied "…Maybe."

Kensi let out a laugh. "You are. A chick flick totally made you cry."

"I have always cried when Jersey gets the record deal." Deeks admitted.

"Why?"

"It's kind of a long story."

"It's not like I have any plans after this."

Deeks ran his hand through his hair. "Fine. When I first saw the movie, I was a junior in college. A girl I was friends with wanted to see it, but not by herself, so she bribed me with food to go see it with her. It was around that time period I was having a hard time. Classes were really getting to me and I was doubting my desire to continue on to law school. But after seeing that movie, seeing what Piper Perabo's character had to go through to make her dreams come true made me think. And it made me realize that I could get through my classes and law school and basically do whatever I wanted to with life."

After Deeks finished, they both remained quiet to let what he said sink in. After a moment, Kensi spoke up. "You are serious, aren't you."

Deeks nodded. "Yeah."

"Well… I guess since the movie means so much to you, I won't tease you about it. Can't promise that I won't mention that it's your favorite movie, but I won't tease you about it. I even won't bring up the fact you cried during it."

Deeks gave her a slight smile. "Thanks. I really appreciate it."

"Hey, what are partners for?" Kensi replied with a smile as she leaned against him. Deeks said nothing, but returned the smile and laid his arm around her shoulders. Even though he had just revealed something really personal, he didn't care. If it got him that physically close to Kensi, he would tell her anything she wanted to know.

I know this came from an older episode, but it took me a while to come up with an idea (plus the fact I couldn't remember what episode it was). Anyway, if you have any suggestion, feel free to say them and I will see if I can come up with a decent story for them.

Happy reading and feel free to leave a reviw.
