Hey! So this was requested by Beaf and the request was "write a one-shot about kensi and deeks meeting when they are children, then loose contact, but reunite later as adults" I love this idea. Thank you for the review
"Hey! Watch it kid!" The squeaky voice of 6 year old Kensi Blye rang out.
The little blond boy stood back up and brushed off his knees.
"Kid?" He questioned. "I'm probably older than you." There was no tone in his voice but question.
"Well you sure don't act like it." She says as she crossed her arms over her chest, her pig tails bouncing with every shake of her head.
Little boy Marty flashed her a toothless smile. "I like your pig tails." He says.
"I don't." Kensi huffed.
His brow furrowed. "Why? They look pretty." His voice laced with confusion.
Kensi rolled her eyes and stomped her foot. Her pink rain boots crunching the gravel.
"I look like a doll. My mom makes me wear them when my dad isn't here."
"But dolls are pretty. Why don't you want to look like one?" He turned his head and Kensi thought he looked like a puppy.
She smiled at him for the first time, "You look like a puppy."
"Is that a good thing?" Marty questioned.
"Yeah, puppies are cute." She said simply.
"So you think I'm cute." He says with giddiness in his voice.
"Ugh." She says. Then she looked at him again.
"What's your name?" She asks.
"Marty, Marty Deeks." He says with a grin while extending his hand, releveling his bruise covered arm.
Kensi frowned upon seeing the bruises, but shook his hand anyway. She knew better than to ask, her mom taught her not to ask about those kinda things.
"I'm Kensi Blye." She says like she had rehearsed it 1000 times. Maybe she had.
"Wanna play with me Kensi?" He asks, hopefulness in his voice.
"Okay." She says with a smile. And took his hand and ran to the swing.
Half an hour later Kensi's mom called out to her.
"Kensi? Sweeting it's time to go!"
"Please just a couple more minutes? It's my favorite park!"
"Now Kensi!"
"Okay mom!" She yelled back.
She turned and looked at Marty.
"It's my favorite park too." He says.
"Well it was nice to play with you Marty, but I have to leave."
"Can I have a hug before you go, I may never see you again ya know." He says with a smile.
Kensi rolls her eyes but steps forwards and gives him a hug.
"You'll see me again Marty Deeks. I promise."
Years later
She heard that the park was being torn down. Of course, she hadn't been since she was a child, and all the friends they had made there are long gone, but she had many memories there.
But there was one boy she wish she still kept in contact with. Marty Deeks. The little boy with the toothless smile and all the bug bites. The one with floppy blond hair and bruises covering his arms. She frowns thinking of it. It hadn't crossed her child mind when she saw them, that he was being abused. She hadn't even known what that meant, all she knew was, that he was hurt.
She wanted to see the park one last time before it was gone forever. Relive all the memories. Swing on the old swings.
She drove the 4 miles there from her apartment and pulled into the cracked parking lot, only to see 1 other car there.
She frowned slightly, she kind of wanted to say goodbye alone.
She opened the car door and hops out, putting her phone, wallet, and keys in her pockets.
Slowly she walks to the entrance, her eyes roaming over the old playset.
There were old oak trees with a 38 year old tree house in them, slowly falling apart.
She sighed. She loved playing in that thing.
Her eyes darted to the old slide. It was wooden. She always hated that thing because it always gave her slivers.
She looked all over the park and spotted one man, sitting lonely on the swing set. He was looking at her, with confusion in his eyes.
She took that as an invitation to sit with him.
So slowly she made her way over to the swings and sat on the swing next to him.
She stared at the ground, not making eye contact. Maybe this was a bad idea, she thought.
"I know what I'm doing here, what are you doing here?" The masks her, with a smile in his voice.
"Just visiting." She says simply. She wanted to observe him, but that would look creepy. All she knew was that he has long blond hair. She smiled, it kinda reminded her of little Marty.
"One last time?" His words hit her deep. He was also seeing it one last time before its gone forever.
"It was my favorite park as a kid. Wanted to see it before it goes."
"Me too." He says, while turning to look at her.
She was beautiful from what he saw of her, but she's looking down at the ground, her face covered by her hair.
He wanted to ask her name, to see if she was one of the many friends he had made at the park, but he doubted it.
"What was your favorite? I hated the slide. It gave me slivers."
He heard her chuckle.
"Me too. My favorite was the tree house, or the climbing rope." She says while pointing to both of them.
He nodded. Him too.
He sucked in a breath and turned to her, extending a hand.
"I'm Marty. Marty Deeks."
He watched as her eyes widened, reveling her birthmark in her eye.
His heart stopped.
Little Kensi Blye had the same birthmark.
"Marty Deeks?!" She asked with disbelief in her voice.
"Kensi Blye?..." He asks hopefully.
She nodded slowly and snapped her mouth shut. Not trusting her words.
"Huh. Where's the pigtails?"
He watched as her eyes narrow in confusion, but then she understands.
"I didn't want to look like a doll anymore." She says with a smile.
"Dolls are pretty." He says simply.
"You still have the same hair and blue eyes." She says with amazement in her voice.
"Do I still look like a puppy?" He winks.
Kensi rolled her eyes. "You look like shaggy from Scooby doo."
Marty put his hand over his heart. "That hurt me. That hit my right in the heart." He says jokingly.
Kensi smiled. "Shaggy was always my favorite."
Deeks slowly gets up from the swing, and extends a hand for her.
Kensi takes it slowly and he pulls her up.
"So.." He asks slowly, "got a favorite restaurant?"
Kensi flashes him a smile. "I do."
"Wanna show me?" He asks hopefully.
"You like sushi?"
"I love sushi."
