Chapter Two
Kensi and Deeks leant companionably against the railings of the walkway, overlooking the bullpen below. As partners in crime, they were both quietly scanning the people in the area below them, trying to decide who to target first with their paper missiles.
Deeks glanced over at Kensi. He couldn't believe that she was actually about to launch paper aeroplanes with him. Kensi had only been his partner for roughly three years, and although that sounded like a long time, it had taken a while before they had found their groove as partners. Looking at Kensi now, with her brown wavy hair loosely framing her face and with a sparkle in her eyes, Deeks was mesmerized.
Although Kensi was still the same hard-core tomboy that he had always known, she had come to allow Deeks to see a side of her that know one else saw. Deeks frequently found himself amazed by how far their relationship had evolved. I mean sure he still got punched by Kensi quite often, but these days the punches were more from affection than anything else. It was just one of the many strange ways that Kensi Marie Blye showed she cared.
Deeks smiled to himself.
Meanwhile Kensi seemed to have found herself a target, and was flexing her arm getting ready to let her aeroplane fly, when all of a sudden she realized how quiet her partner had become. This was obviously not a good sign considering Deeks normally had difficulty keeping his mouth shut. Kensi turned around to find Deeks staring at her with an odd look on his face.
"What?" She asked defensively.
"Nothing." Deeks answered, shaking his head, "I was just thinking that this is fun that's all."
Deeks knew from past experience that it generally wasn't a good idea to bring up what was actually on his mind, as Kensi wasn't all that big on talking about her feelings. Deeks would pretty much just ensure himself a punch to his chest, if he were to voice what was actually on his mind.
Instead, Deeks grabbed Kensi's paper plane and threw it at random. Unfortunately the paper aeroplane seemed to have a mind of it's own. It spun in a wild loop before zeroing in on the still sleeping Callen below. Deeks cringed as the plane hit Callen directly on the head. Kensi and Deeks watched in shock as Callen jerked awake, but they both quickly regained their senses and backed against the wall and out of Callen's view, before he could spot them. Knowing that it was only a matter of time before Sam caved and ratted them out, Deeks turned to Kensi.
"You know I was thinking, we should probably check in on Eric and Nell. Make sure their not lonely in Ops without us," he suggested semi-innocently.
"Good idea" replied Kensi as she quickly headed for Ops, with Deeks following closely behind her. After all a sleepy Callen was not to be messed with. Especially when he had been woken up so suddenly. They may as well have poked a bear with a stick.
Kensi and Deeks figured it would be best to lay low for a while before heading back to their desks. Just to be on the safe side.
Just as Kensi and Deeks were about to round the corner into Ops, they glanced at each other and grinned. They could hear the unmistakable sound of a videogame being played, coming from within. They entered the room to find Eric sat holding a Wii controller with his mouth hanging wide open in shock. Nell on the other hand, was standing with her arms waving around in mid-air, a controller in one hand and a half eaten Oreo in the other.
"Oh yeah. Beat that!" She said, as she spun around to face Eric.
"Okay… that just happened!" Deeks muttered to Kensi in a stage whisper, with a huge grin on his face.
With her face turning bright red, Nell slowly turned towards Kensi and Deeks, quickly stuffing the Oreo in her back pocket and dropping her controller on her chair.
"Oh hey guys. What's up?" Nell asked, while Eric chuckled quietly behind her.
A/N: Ha-ha, I loved the adorably awkward ending. Poor Nell! It was so fun to write and I just couldn't help myself. Nell does always seem to be stuck in awkward moments on the show too doesn't she? But she's just so darn adorable in them! Ha-ha. Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter and feel free to leave some feedback if you like. :)
