A/N: So I think this is the end, maybe? All T-Rated here...

Kensi was giving Deeks ideas for dinner when Sam and Callen walked in, thus silencing their conversation for the time being.
"How was your weekend?" Callen inquired, as he sat down at his desk.
Deeks flicked his glance over to his partner and said, "Really good, you know surfing, hot chicks in barely there bikinis; dog walks alongside the beach, did I mention sexy babes? Plus getting done with the undercover thing a little earlier than planned was a bonus to the makings to a perfect weekend."
Kensi gave a death glare to her partner before threatening to sack him in the non-des-plumes. Deeks' face became ghost white, "You promised you wouldn't go there ever again Fern; pistol whips only."
"What is it with men and their infatuation with women in skimpy bikinis? Men are pigs, especially you Deeks." She said this to make a show, she knew Deeks was talking about her, but she didn't like how he was glorifying women, just for their bodies. However, she had to admit; she liked being the only woman in his sites the previous day; no one else caught his attention his eyes were solely on her and well, his board, but still just her. It made her feel special, wanted, really.
Deeks was about to tell her she wore a skimpy bikini which left nothing to the imagination, merely yesterday. He had to bite his cheek to stop himself and instead said, "I say if you've got it, flaunt it and my god, there was this one-woman the other day with mile-long legs, they never ended..." Deeks got lost daydreaming about the hot woman he'd met by the beach, and Kensi cuffed him in the shoulder with incredible force.
"Ow, what was that for? You should appreciate that I like women with fine assets."
"Don't make me injure you again because I will."
"Those are just open threats, Princess."
"Ugh, you're insufferable, you know that?"
"It's all a part of my charm."
"Yeah if you considered, shaggy and untamed charming." Callen stated as he jumped in on their little bickering session. The first of many for the day, he was sure, and it wasn't even lunch yet.
Sam wanting the banter to end asked, "What about you Kens? How was your weekend?"
"It was good. I went shopping on Friday and got a few clothes, and I got a puppy."
"Woah, you got a puppy, are you sure that's a good idea? You do realize that you can't just feed it sugar and actually have to care for it, right? It's not a stuffed animal it's a living creature, you know with a heartbeat."
"Yes, I know. I've had Angel since Friday, and she's still very much alive." Kensi replied snappily.
Callen wanted to push her buttons a bit more, "See, and here I thought the puppy would get lost in your house."
"I'll have you know; I cleaned my house."
Deeks spoke up, defending his partner, "She did; I saw it on Saturday. I thought I walked into the wrong house." It was the truth; her house was almost unrecognizable, but it looked good cleaned. He preferred it that way.
Lunchtime came, and Kensi offered to pick some food up for everyone. She had to take Angel out and there was a sandwich shop on her way back to the Mission. Everyone agreed and placed their orders. Deeks offered to go with her but Nell already offered. So the boys stayed, while the two women went off to get food and play with a puppy.
"So you bought a dog?"
"Actually it was Deeks. I was looking at her on Friday at the mall, and Deeks was undercover there, and he bought her. She would've been killed, and Deeks couldn't stand the thought of it. He saw me staring at her for over an hour, and he stopped by and surprised me with her as a sort of birthday gift."
Nell was dumbfounded. She wasn't expecting Kensi to be so honest with her. She thought she'd have to get a few beers in her to admit that her partner bought her a dog. This was more serious than she initially thought.
"You named her Angel then, sweet name. It comes derives from the Greek name ángelos, which is said to mean 'messenger of God'."
"Actually, I wanted to call her one of my nicknames that Deeks has provided me with over the years, but he insisted on Angel because she was saved, and I didn't want to argue. It fit, and I liked it. So we kept. Well, we're home, do you want to meet Angel?"
Nell looked up and noticed that Kensi had called this dwelling home and said, "Isn't this Deeks' house? And of course, I want to meet Angel."
"Well yeah, but he was very adamant about not leaving her alone and said that Monty would keep her company and out of trouble and with us both at work all day, it just seemed right. You know?"
"Maybe they'll be partners in crime like you and Deeks? You know causing trouble and mayhem everywhere they go?"
"We don't cause trouble. We actually have a genuinely strong partnership and work extremely well as a team."
Once Nell and Kensi were done walking and playing with both Monty and Angel, they returned to work with foot long sandwiches. Kensi and Nell decided to eat theirs while they drove back.
Arriving back at the Mission, Kensi saw Deeks standing outside. Nell said she'd go ahead and give everyone their food while the two partners spoke.
"What's up?" Kensi questioned. She didn't understand why Deeks was standing outside the building looking distraught.
"I have to go back to LAPD, to finish my paperwork and give a statement." Deeks was crestfallen.
"A statement for what, what happened?"
"Apparently Ray was shot late Saturday night and is in a coma. I was the last one to see him Friday after our undercover operation."
Kensi gasped, "He's really in a coma? However, Jason saw him just yesterday."
"Jason? You don't mean from the surf shop, do you?" at Kensi's nod he continued, "Why would Jason have seen him?"
"Because he followed me there on Saturday when I was bringing your board in. He's the one that had Jason put my silhouette on your board."
Nell couldn't believe what she was hearing, she took Deeks' sandwich in instead of Sam's. So she came back out hoping to catch them before they left. And she heard the tail end of their conversation, 'A silhouette of Kensi's body on Deeks' board.' "Well it looks like the stakes of risen. "Maybe I should start a betting pool with the boys." Nell thought strategically. She knew she'd win. She already knew they were a couple she just had to pick when they would let it slip out in the office.
She cleared her throat and duo turned towards the sound, "I accidentally took Deeks' sandwich, and Sam is complaining about onions and the ratio of meat to veggies, onions not counting." Nell said while showing the sandwich. Kensi went to her vehicle and grabbed the other sandwich, Deeks not moving from where he stood, "He was trying to wrap his head around what he'd just heard. Ray was at the shop with Jason, and he had Jason put Kensi's silhouette on his board. He should have known Ray would do such a thing."
The dynamic duo got in Kensi's car after the sandwiches were switched and headed to Deeks other job. Once they were there, Deeks told them about the facts he'd received from Kensi. It only took 30 minutes to do the paperwork and answer his colleague's questions. They were locating Jason to bring him in, and they told Deeks that it was better if he was not here when his friend showed up for questioning.
At 2 o'clock, Hetty sent her entire team home because there was no new case, and all the paperwork was finished. Kensi and Deeks were still at the LAPD, and Hetty reported to Nell informing her to send them both a text telling them to go home when they were through.
Kensi checked her phone as it buzzed and saw a message from Nell, it said they didn't need to go back to the Mission today. She informed Deeks and he reluctantly agreed to leave, and they walked out of the police station to go pay a visit to Ray, who was under the alias Jimmie Johnson. The NASCAR reference not lost on either of them. Deeks was 'Jimmie's' brother Jeff and when he tried to bring Kensi in the nurse on duty said, "Sorry one at a time unless she's family?" Knowing that Kensi wouldn't pass as his sister, he said that she was "Lori Johnson" Jimmie's wife. The nurse nodded her head and let them in.
Kensi gave Deeks a look and said, "Lori, really? And Ray's wife. I thought you were the sucker for brunettes?"
"I am. I mean I already told them that his wife would be stopping by to visit and yeah." Deeks was shaken up. It never got easy seeing a friend laying down in a hospital bed, and Ray was no different. They were really like brothers.
When they arrived back at Deeks' place, Monty and Angel were very happy to see them, but Monty quickly picked up on his owner's mood and started nudging him. Kensi asked if he wanted to come for a walk. He agreed and took Monty while Kensi wrangled over her overly active lab. They headed down to the beach, away from the surf shop and let the dogs Kensi keeping a close eye on Angel, and she still didn't know any commands. Monty was also looking out for Angel as she hesitantly tested out the ocean.
That evening after taking the dogs for their walk together they cuddled up into bed. "I didn't peg you as the snuggling type." Deeks whispered as he snuggled into Kensi, kissing her on the neck, as she held him close.
"Yeah, well I didn't envision you as a lover. And you looked like you could use it after the day you've had. Plus I told a certain someone I'd take care of you. I keep my promises."
"Touché. Thank you Sunshine."
