- Oh, shut up! - Kensi busted out laughing while looking down, blushed too.
- I'm your husband Melissa, keep calm. Anyway is the pizza here already? - Deeks asked, trying to change the subject.
- Yeah, let's eat! - Exclaimed Kensi, hungry already.
The pizza was delicious, it had extra cheese and tomatoes. They ate it all and the dessert, made by Kensi, was also delicious. They decided to sit in the living room watching TV and they started watching a movie about a woman and a man who were in love with each other but wouldn't admit their feelings for each other and they immediately related to their situation.
They were both feeling uncomfortable about that movie, Deeks tried to break the ice:
- I thought you didn't like this type of movies.
- They're not my favorite, but that's all we got. - Kensi answered.
- A horror movie at 3 a.m. would be kinda scary, not that I am scared, are you scared? - Deeks quickly said.
- Are you kidding? Is it 3 a.m. already? We should go upstairs. - Kensi said.
- Got you Fern, let's go upstairs, wanna make a baby? Let's make a baby, what about a ninja mutant assassin? - Deeks joked.
- That was not what I meant, let's go upstairs and take some sleep. - Kensi answered.
- At least you didn't get mad at me when I... - Deeks said without a change of finishing his sentence.
- And don't you dare to call me Fern. - Kensi interrupted him.
- Ouch, you just did.
Deeks had to wait for Kensi to dress her pajama so he could get in the room and sleep. They got to bed but they couldn't sleep, because it was getting harder and harder to hide their feelings for each other, especially when they were sleeping in the same bed. They had been undercover as a couple one year ago and they also slept in the same bed but their feelings for each other weren't as strong and visible as they were now.
They were sleeping back to back, Deeks turned and softly touched Kensi's hair, she moved slowly. They couldn't sleep, they were pretending to be sleeping so no one would talk about the fact that they were sleeping together.
- Are you awake Kens - Deeks muttered.
- I just can't - She answered while she turned to his face.
- I know thinks look kinda awkward here, do you want me to move to the floor? Or maybe the sofa downstairs? If you want me to go, I will. - He said.
- No! - Kensi said with certainty - Stay here, it's not you, it's us, you can't go away, it would probably blow our cover.
- Yeah, it would. Let's just try to sleep, ok? - Deeks proposed.
He sweetly hugged her while she whispered '' Ok '' and they both slumbered together, feeling each other's breaths and heartbeats.
When they woke up they realized they were snuggled so Kensi immediately got up and went to the bathroom. She looked at the mirror, trying to metalize herself that she had slept in the same bed as her partner, the guy she was in love with, and they even snuggled! She just couldn't do this anymore, she needed to know if Deeks felt what she felt for him. She realized he was in love for her when he kissed, but after the torture she didn't knew what to think anymore. She got out of the bathroom and Deeks was already up, worried and looking for her.
- There are you Melissa! I was getting worried. - Deeks said.
- I was just in the bathroom. - Kensi informed.
- That's what i thought... So, did you sleep well? - He asked.
- Hm, yes, perfectly to be honest. - She answered.
- I am the best sleeping partner you could ever ask for. - Deeks said all at once - Admit it fern!
- Fern? Again? Really? - Kensi annoyingly said.
- I have to use nicknames to talk to you, I mean, if I dont, we get blown up, and I cant just call you Melissa all time, it sounds pretty weird to me. Kensi is just a beautiful name, if I had to replace it, let me replace it with something sweet - He quickly said.
- Shh - Somebody could be watching their room, she couldn't let him say her real name - I have something to say, and i really have to say it now.
- I'm all ears! - He spoke.
- Thank you for everything, I would not be able to be this happy without you as my partner, and without our thing, our ''thing'' is what makes our partnership what it is. I just thought you should know it. - She blurted.
- Just admit that you are in love with me, that you can't resist all of this hotness. - Deeks tried to change the subject.
- Nobody can talk serious with you, that's so annoying! - Kensi threw the towel for him and got out of the room. - I am going to do some jogging to get some WI-FI, I'll be back at 10.
- See you Sugar Bear, I'll make something for breakfast. - He said.
When Kensi came back, there was a big table full of bread, cereals, butter, cheese, orange juice, everything you can possibly want for breakfast, and it was all made by Deeks, and he was waiting for her so they could eat together.
- I'm home. - Kensi shouted.
- What do you want to eat Baby Girl? - Deeks asked.
- I see that you made lots of food... That's exactly the way i like it - Kensi said.
- And I bet you're seeing that I'm a dream husband, 365 days of heaven, babe. - Deeks tried to be funny.
Kensi laughed and blushed.
- Eric called, we have to meet with them today for news. - She informed while she was starting to eat a big donnut.
- At what time? - Deeks asked.
- By 11 - Kensi answered.
- That's okay, we still have around one hour to get there. Are you going to try to make some biscuits for the neighbors like you did the last time? - Deeks joked.
- Maybe, why don't you try to make them yourself? I mean, you look way better in the kitchen than what I do. - She replied.
- You're saying that I am hot? I guess you just said that I am hot. You just said that I am hot! Like I said, 365 days of heaven. - He tried to be amusing again.
- That was definitely... not what I said! - Kensi looked annoyed.
- But that doesn't mean that you haven't thought about that. - Deeks insisted.
- However, I'm going to have a shower now, get ready for work, Deeks. - Kensi said while turning her back on him and moving upstairs.
- Justin! - Deeks corrected her, not waiting for her answer anyway.
Kensi had already taken her bath and they were now driving to ops. Once they got there, Eric and Nell informed them that two of their neighbors were probably professional killers, but they had to get more information about them, so Hetty realized that a dinner would be perfect for that, but it would have to be Kensi and Deeks inviting Josh and Kelly, the couple that lived right next to them, and that was suspect of being a killer.
Deeks and Kensi headed back to their cover house and then went to the "killers" house to invite them to have some dinner that night. It was Kelly, the woman, who opened the door.
- Sorry to interrupt your lunch if that's the case. I'm Melissa and he is my husband Justin. - Kensi started.
- Nice to meet you, you both look like a good couple, just married? - Kelly tryed to look nice.
- Just married. - Deeks quickly replied.
- I see. I'm Kelly, my husband is working now, but I'm sure that we would be enchanted to meet you too guys. What can i do for you? - Kelly kept going.
- Today is my husband's birthday and we are from Michigan, so we dont know much people here, and you are the closest neighbors we have, so, do you want to join us for dinner tonight? - Kensi invited the supposed killer.
- That would be a pleasure! We'll both be there in your house around 8 - Kelly said pointing at their cover house - okay?
- Great. - Deeks said - It's going to be great, let's go Melissa, let's get our house cleaned.
Deeks and Kensi headed to their cover house, and as soon as he closed the door, Kensi started yelling at him.
- Let's get our house cleaned? Really? You're saying that I don't clean the house?
- Here we go again. - Deeks muttered.
- If you want the things better done, you can always do it yourself. - Kensi continued.
- That's okay, sweetie. But you know that you aren't that kind of clean and tidy person. - Deeks said, a little bit scared.
- You meant I'm dirty, Justin?
- No, no, no! - He was abashed - You won, I don't know what to say, you can use it now, go ahead, Fern, you can't say it.
- Touché! - Kensi happily said.
- So you aren't mad at me anymore? - Deeks asked.
- No. - Kensi replied.
- Good. - Deeks muttered, while he sat down in the armchair near him.
- You though I was mad, baby? - Kensi unintentionally said.
- Wait, wait, wait! Kensi Marie Blye just called me ' Baby '? We're moving forward. - Deeks couldn't let the moment go by.
Kensi blushed and tried to talk to him anyway.
- Deeks...
- You love me Kens... - He was talking in a joke tone.
- We can't use our names remember? It was the nicknames thing last night. We already talked about it. - Kensi said.
- And now you accept the nicknames thing? Ouch, like i once said, its a love story. - Deeks was kidding but he blushed anyway.
- And where does that comment let us? - Kensi asked trying to get the conversation to a serious level.
- I don't know, do you know? - He answered her question with a question, and he knew that they both hated it when that happens.
- I...
