So here is another tag for 5x03. I just had this idea stuck in my head and I had to write it.

There's gonna be some skin in this one, but it's not what you think...

Anyway I hope you guys are gonna enjoy it.

PS: Thanks again for all the lovely reviews. They make me happy :D


The Partners made their way out of OPS-Center.

Kensi stopped dancing, as her bag slid of her shoulder and fell to the ground.

Deeks tried to duck and grab it for her, but froze in the middle of the motion and let out a yelp.

His back was worse than he originally thought.

He was a bit startled as he felt Kensis warm hands on his back, stroking soothingly up and down. „Hey you alright there partner?" She asked softly.

With a lot of effort he managed to stand upright again and smiled as he felt Kensis hands still planted on his back.

„Yeah... yeah I'm good, it's just my back hurts a lot more than I would've thought."

Kensi lead him towards her car.

„What do you say, we skip the Bulgogi, just go to your apartment and order in, so you can relax on your couch?" She said while unlocking the car.

„Wow you would ignore your craving for Bulgogi just for my well being? I'm touched."

He grinned as he sat down in the passenger seat.

Kensi got in the car as-well and rolled her eyes at Deeks. „I was just trying to be thoughtful"

"I'm not complaining" He smiled " ...and I would like that very much!"

She nodded and started the engine.

"Just one more thing Kens..." Deeks said.

She turned to him "Yeah?"

"How am I gonna get to work, if we're driving in your car?"

Kensi thought about that for a second, than she answered. "I still got some things at your place right?" As he nodded she continued hesitantly "... If it's okay with you, I'm just gonna sleep on your couch and then we can drive to work together."

She looked at him a bit shyly, expecting a witty remark or something, but Deeks just smiled genuinely "Okay"


After they had eaten their take out and watched at least 2 top-model episodes, Deeks let out another hiss of pain. "Oh god I feel like I've been hit by a truck."

"Do you have any back creme or something to stop the pain." Kensi asked with a worried look on her face.

"I do have some 'Icy Hot-Creme' In the medicine cabinet, but..." Before Deeks could finish his sentence Kensi had already jumped up and made her way to his bathroom.

A few minutes later she came back with the creme tube in one hand.

She told him to scoot over and sat behind him.

"Uhm, Kensi what are you doing? I mean not that I'm complaining but..."

"Shut up and take off your shirt." She interrupted him.

"WHAT?" Deeks tried to turn around but stopped as he felt a stabbing pain shooting down his back.

"God Deeks, I'm going to apply this creme on your back and than I'm going to give you a massage. Don't make a big deal out of it. You're in pain, you're my partner, I'm gonna help you! Okay?" She didn't know how she could sound so confident when she was inwardly screaming at herself for doing something so stupid. She couldn't imagine how she would be able to control herself, when she had her hands on his naked skin.

"Yeah okay, thanks I guess..." Deeks answered after a moment of silence.

Slowly to avoid as much pain as he could, he lifted his shirt and pulled it over his head.

"Ready" He said, presenting his naked and well build back to her.

Kensi took a deep breath. " Okay here we go."

She unscrewed the tube and gave some creme into her palm.

"This is gonna be cold." She warned him before she gently began to apply the gel to his skin.

A shudder ran through Deeks, but Kensi told herself, that he was just reacting to the cold creme.

After she had spread it all over his back she began to rub it in, her fingers digging in his muscles and releasing the tension there.

She felt a blush on her face, as he moaned loudly.

She hadn't even really begun and was already becoming flustered. That was just great.


Half an hour later, she had massaged in the cream and his back was dry again.

Kensi honestly didn't know, how she'd done it. After a while the moaning had become to groaning and she had felt every sound like an electric shock, jolting through her body.

Even though she was done, Kensi couldn't really bring herself to put distance between them.

This was probably the closest they'd been in their whole partnership and she would be lying if she said she didn't like it, so she just continued stroking his back, drawing patterns on the now very warm skin.

"Better" She asked quietly, afraid to break the moment.

Deeks answered with a content sigh and leaned into her touch. "As long as you keep doing that, I'm perfect." He murmured.

Kensi felt her heart beat faster and another blush on her cheeks, which grew darker as he reached for her arms and brought them around him. So she was hugging him from behind.

Deeks intertwined their fingers and stroked her knuckles.

Without thinking about it, Kensi dropped her head on his back and pressed a kiss between his shoulder blades.

After a while she whispered "What are we doing?"

She felt him chuckle before he answered "cuddling."

Kensi had to fight with herself to ask the next question, but she really wanted an answer to it. "And that's all we're doing?"

Deeks didn't answer her for a long time and she almost thought he was asleep, as he kissed her hand and whispered. "For now..."

Kensi held her breath, as he continued

"...but I promise princess you won't have to wait long..."
