Not my favorite piece I've ever written, but here goes. This was requested by moresassythanclassy as the team finds out about Kensi and Deeks by mistake. I have several other ideas for this so I may come back to this eventually using different scenarios.
It had been an action packed Friday filled with a tough case for everyone involved. One that had found Deeks on his knees with a gun pointed to his head. Deeks had never been so certain that he was about to die, because Sam and Callen were on the other side of the boat yard involved in their own gun fight and Kensi had been inside with the leader of the drug cartel. In that instant he knew that not only had he failed to keep himself safe, but he had probably gotten his girlfriend killed in the process. It was a feeling he would never forget. In the end however it turned out that the good guys had won as usual and the bad guys were all either dead, or on their way to prison for a very long time. The one holding his gun to Deeks' head had ended up meeting the business end of Kensi Blye's gun, so needless to say he wouldn't have to worry about prison.
The team was packing up to leave the OSP that Friday night, Sam and Callen were having a conversation about their weekend plans. Plans that included courtside tickets to some basketball game that neither Kensi nor Deeks were particularly interested in at that point in time, so they tuned them out and focused on their weekend plans.
Deeks and Kensi had been involved in some of their normal playful banter, when Deeks got really quiet and looked deep in thought. Truth be told Deeks was revisiting not only the case from today, but also several other cases where he had messed up and Kensi had to come to his rescue. He was beating himself up over the fact that today could have ended much worse and it would have been all his fault. Nobody noticed anything out of the ordinary when Kensi went to his desk and sat down in front of her partner. She was going on about being hungry and needing to be fed when she noticed that something was wrong because there was no characteristic snide remark about how she was always hungry.
"Deeks….Earth to Deeks….Look at me please."
Deeks looked up from fidgeting with his hands, straight into her beautiful eyes, and all else was forgotten. "Yes princess…something I can do for you?"
"You ok? You seemed a million miles away there for a few minutes. Nothing that happened today was even remotely your fault, and it all turned out good anyway."
"Yeah…I'm fine….er good…I mean I'm good. Who wouldn't be good after today. There I was about to get my head blown off knowing for sure that I had not only managed to get myself killed but that I had also probably also caused your death when much to my surprise my badass girlfriend comes out of nowhere like Wonder Woman with her guns blazing and saves my sorry self yet again. I could have gotten you killed Kens, it's something I'm never going to be ok with, ever."
At the mention of the word girlfriend Sam and Callen ceased their conversation and turned to watch the two younger agents with interest.
"Deeks….it's what I do…you're my partner…It's my job to keep you safe."
"Partner huh?" Deeks asked as he pulled her down into his lap and leaned his forehead in to rest on hers. Deeks closed the distance and placed a sweet loving kiss on her lips. "Partner or not…did I ever tell you how hot you are when you're…"
Kensi leaned in and kissed him again.
"AhhHemm" Callen cleared his throat
Kensi and Deeks jumped apart and looked at their amused teammates guiltily.
"Something we should know about?" Chuckled Sam
"Yeah, Sam I distinctly heard him call her his girlfriend….In which case, you owe me twenty bucks."
Kensi recovered quickly and tried to play it off. "Why would he owe you twenty dollars just because my partner is dreaming again and called me his girlfriend?"
"Yeah, she's not really my type."
"And why is that partner?" Kensi asked snarkily "Don't like a girl who can not only take care of herself, but can save your ass too."
"Really Kens..you forget that we were here for the whole conversation and saw him kiss you…besides you're being a tad defensive" replied Sam "G, you still owe me twenty" Sam said holding out his hand waggling his fingers in Callen's direction.
Callen handed over the twenty "Just so you know I wouldn't be paying up if I hadn't seen her kiss him back… with my own eyes. Never thought I'd see the day that Kensi actually had a boyfriend that lasted longer than one date"
Callen and Sam continued to laugh as they walked down the hall on their way out for the weekend.
"It's really not that bad Princess, I'm sure they were going to find out eventually anyway." Deeks said to Kensi as she glared at him. "Now I have all weekend to make you forget all about this..mess" He leaned in and gave her another playful kiss.
"It'll probably take you every bit of it too, but a good start would be getting me some yummy yummy heart attack…I'm starving. I mean even Wonder Woman needs to eat too."
