Thank you so much for all your amazing reviews. This is the first chapter and the first use of a pick-up line. Even though I'm writing a chapter for each line, this story will still follow a timeline. I know this chapter is not very good but it's the way things start between them, sort of like an intro.
Anyway, let me know what you think about it and I'll update as soon as possible…
. Are you lost? Because heaven is a long way from here…
Marty Deeks is usually a calm and relaxed person. He enjoys getting under his partner's skin as much as he possible can. He knows he's messing with fire because everyone knows just how dangerous Kensi Blye can be when she gets mad. He's never been one to play on the safe side, anyway.
He likes to think that their playful banter is the one thing that makes their partnership unique. She has fire in her veins and shows just how tough she is as often as possible. Callen and Sam are used to this by now so they simply roll their eyes at them when they see an argument about to break. They have given up trying to stop those little back-and-forth a long time ago. It's just not worth the hassle.
However, Deeks feels like it's time to step up his game a little bit. The jokes and the constant comments about her junk food addition are getting old. He needs new material to the daily-entertainment that has become his arguments with Kensi.
Today, as he walks inside the office with a new plan formed on his mind, Deeks feels that sense of confidence that only comes when he knows he's about to start an argument that will last for days. Yes, he sore loves the playful banter between him and his lovely partner.
Kensi is already sitting on her chair with her laptop open and is typing something. She's probably filling out some paperwork. It still amuses him to think she's the one who hates paperwork the most. Anyone would probably think Callen would be the one to delay filling out the paperwork for as long as possible but she's usually the last one to deliver her reports.
Kensi looks up when he greets them and mumbles a 'good morning' before going back to the task at hand. Deeks smirks and pulls his chair to sit next to her. Kensi doesn't look at him and he knows she's trying to ignore him. Callen is looking at him, frowning and wondering what he's about to do. Sam is looking at him too but he doesn't seem that much interested.
"Are you lost?" He asks and Kensi sighs before looking at him. She seems annoyed and that's a good start for him. She wants to get back to work and finish the reports as soon a possible but he's not very keen on that idea.
"Deeks, in case you haven't noticed already, I'm trying to do this to deliver the paperwork to Hetty as soon as possible. I know you enjoy this but please don't make me get into trouble with Hetty." Callen laughs and gets up to go to the gym. Sam follows him, thinking that the show is over. Deeks suddenly feels a strange sense of guilt settling over him but shakes it off.
He knows he will never admit it out loud but she enjoyws theyr playful arguments as much as he does. She needs to relax a bit today. She seems nervous for some reason so when she gets back to her laptop he insists.
"Are you lost?" Kensi sighs again and looks at him with a sweet fake smile on her face. He sees it in her eyes. She's playing along so she can get back to work as soon as possible. That's good enough for him.
"Why do you ask?" Deeks smirks and braces himself for the argument that's about to occur as soon as he gives her his answer.
"Because heaven is a long way from here…" He expects her to snap at him, expects her to punch him. He even expects her to take her gun and point it at him, yelling at him and saying that he should never use a pick-up line with his partner or that he's nothing but an insensitive pig.
He doesn't expect her to react like she does. Kensi actually smiles, a real smile, and goes back to work shaking her head. Deeks leans back on his chair and stares at her for a while.
There's one thing he didn't expect. Kensi Blye has a soft spot for cheesy pick-up lines. That is one information that it's going to be very useful to him. Oh yes, because he's going to take full advantage of that knowledge.
Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen. This partnership is about to get very interesting.
