Chapter 7 : Gun

I'm sorry I didn't post this chapter last sunday as I always do, but with all that happened this week, I just couldn't find the time to finish it. Same for inspiration. Anyway here it is if you're still reading this fanfiction. Remember, I'm not talking english everyday so if there are any mistakes, tell me.

Do you know the word in H for the next chapter ? Let me know if you have any idea and you'll see if it's the same as I had.

Reviews make happy :)

with all my love from France.


Kensi woke up with the sunlight through the window of their apartment. It was a little more than 6am when she opened her eyes, curled up to Deeks. Them waking up together had been their routine for a year and time had flies so fast. They had moved together a few months ago, tired of living in two places at the time. They were also tired of keeping it a secret and they decided to tell everyone in the office. Obviously, Hetty knew about it long before Kensi and Deeks even knew they had a thing for each other. That was kind of scary but they got used to it. Like everyone actually. It was weird at the beginning because they had to leave their relationship and love life at home and just be partners during days. It was so odd ; but they did put up boundaries with their partnership. After work, they often visited apartments and houses until they found their cute little place that they could finally call home. Their home. It was just in front of the beach so Deeks could go and surf whenever he wanted and Kensi would be there with Monty, watching him. Even though there were some fights between the both of them for futilities they loved living together. It felt just right to be with him like that. For the first time since Jack, Kensi felt like she was happy. Truly happy with the way her life was. And all of this was because of one person. Her person.

She watched him sleep and noticed how peaceful he was at that very moment. It happened rarely with their jobs but when it did, his face was truly beautiful. All she wanted to do was stay beside him. He was usually the first to wake up so watching him asleep for once was so great. Everyone knew how much Kensi loved her bed and her sleep, that is why it was hard to make her go out of the bed in the morning. And the fact that she was already awake at that time was strange, even for her, and it didn't predicted anything good for the rest of the day.

She snuggled in his arms and kissed his jaw hoping he would wake up fast.

"Hmm. Just one more minute." He said, mumbling, in his sleep. His eyes were still closed when he felt something on him. Or more someone.

She got closer and whispered in his ear : "I'm gonna take a shower. Hope you'll come." She started to get out of their bed when he woke up, faster than The Flash and he heard her laugh.

"Oh my God, I so knew it would work !"

He took her in his arms in order to put her on his shoulder and went to the bathroom. They both laughed and she slapped his ass.

Their day couldn't have started better but it sure as hell could have ended better too.


The team was supposed to arrest a man who tried to kill them by playing a sort of perverse game. He called them on a disposable cell and made them run everywhere in the city during the whole day. The trick was that if they didn't do what he wanted them to do, he threatened them by saying that he was about to kill dozens of people in the streets. Or even kill a member of their families. Thanks to Eric and Nell they found him. Callen and Sam were in one car and Kensi and Deeks were in the other ; they were all heading to the center of Los Angeles to stop this masquerade as fast as possible. They hoped the day would end so they could finally all go home and have the right to rest. Kensi and Deeks were making plans for the night which contain take-out, movies and their new cozy coutch.

Unfortunately it didn't turn out like this at all !


Kensi was the sniper in this case. She was the best they could have, like always. She was posted on the roof to be able to have an eye on everyone. Especially on the bad guys. Everything was under control, the three men of her team found the guy, and they were talking to him. Hoping he would let his gun on the ground and surrender. But at some point it all turned out bad.

She was all alone with her ear-flap on when she saw the man pointing his gun at Deeks. He had to drop his gun right away to avoid being killed. For a brief moment she couldn't breathe, move or think. And she was pretty sure her heart couldn't beat either. She obviously wanted to shoot the man but this smartass was in front of the guy she loved. There. She said it. She loved him so much and she never told him during the months, even the years, they had spent together. Few hours ago, everything was fine and they were happily in love. How could it be so wrong ? Kensi didn't want to watch the scene but in the meantime she couldn't take her eyes off of them. And because the man was in front of Deeks, she couldn't shoot him or the bullet could reach Deeks. For an unknown reason, Sam and Callen weren't moving. She desperately wanted to find the solution but if it was risking his life ; she would need to think about it for more than one second. She managed to say a « don't move.» hoping he would hear her through his ear-flap.

"Please don't make anything stupid. Don't play the hero here."

Unfortunately, she couldn't see the face of the man she was in love with, so she wouldn't be able to see a sign or something to tell her everything would turn out ok. She needed to feel safe but so do him that's why she tried to put her fear aside.

"I do not allow you to die right now." Kensi wanted to scream and never stop. She wanted to break everything around her but there was just dust and it was unnecessary.

"Guys ! Help him ! Don't just stay here and do nothing !"

No sound was coming through her ear-flap and she understood something was off with all of them. She wanted to be with them and help him as much as she could. Although their only advantage over him was the fact that the man didn't know she was here, ready to pull the trigger. She needed to find a solution but her feet were not working. She still couldn't move. That felt so weird to her because she wasn't the kind of girl who loses her temper. On the contrary, generally, she always was so calm and quiet on situations like this one. What was happening to her ? It couldn't just be because she was in love with him. Love isn't supposed to do that to you, right ?

She shook her head for a second to try to think back. She had to think and help him. They didn't move and the man was still talking to them, telling how funny it was for him to be in this position.

"Stay still." she said, with her mouth still opened as if she wanted to say something else. For a minute she thought if it was the right time to tell it but then, she understood that there might not be another moment for them.

"I love you. I think you need to know that I do love you and you'll be okay. We'll be okay. I promise I'm going to take care of it. Just don't move."

She heard Deeks whispered a slight "ok." while she closed her eyes. He had his bullet proof vest and was trained to act in this sort of event. She was telling this on repeat to herself to give her courage. She had no other solutions but shoot.

She could do it.

She had to do it.

She pulled the trigger and saw them both fell on the floor. The world was spinning around her. She was aware of the blood too but she couldn't think of it or she would probably collapse.

"Sam is he okay ? Sam !"

Because she didn't hear an answer from him, she decided to run downstairs and watch for herself. During the running, her mind was off, like asleep. Thinking wasn't possible and well, she didn't want to. Kensi knew that she would automatically think of him as a dead corpse. Then she would think of the funeral, how to tell his mom, how to go back on her life and do the same. But without him. Life without him seemed less awesome that was for sure.

When she pushed the door, she saw a lot of police cars and ambulances. It was like chaos. In her mind and in reality.

She looked everywhere but didn't see her colleagues and started to freak out. She needed to find him, to know that he wasn't hurt. That she didn't kill him because she wouldn't be able to forgive herslef even though she had to try and do something. She felt like she was about to puke and collapse in the middle of this big mess. She saw the man, being moved elsewhere but there was no sign of Deeks. She stared at everywhere and finally, after all this time, she saw him in an ambulance. He was sitting at the back, being examined by the doctor. In one second, the air was less heavy, her brain less dizy and her legs started to work again. She moved fast and he was in her arms before she could even understand it. She was suddenly shivering and it was unstoppable.

"It's fine. I'm fine. Kens, you did the right thing. I'm not even hurt."

All she could do at that moment was nodding at him. She also hold him in her arms intensely just to be sure that he was there with her, that he wouldn't disappear right away.

"I love you too, you know. I couldn't talk earlier but I also want you to know that I love you." He kissed her forehead while tightening her.

Indeed, everything will turn out okay because they were together.
