I own nothing.
How Deeks finally got to see Kensi dressed up as Wonder Woman.
"Please, you have to come help me. You're my partner and this is what partners do." Deeks begged. They were in the gym, working out. Well, Kensi was working out. Deeks was too busy playing Plants vs. Zombies. He stopped long enough to ask Kensi for a favor.
Kensi gave him a look. "Where in my job description does it says I have to help you hand out candy to trick-or treaters on Halloween?"
"No place, but-" Deeks started to say.
"Then I do not have to help you. Besides, I'm not a fan of Halloween." Kensi said as she went back to hitting the punching bag.
Deeks stared at her, his mouth agape. Kensi tried to ignore him, but it proved to be difficult. Finally she sighed and looked at him. "What?"
"How can you not like Halloween? It's practically made for you. You get to dress up and be someone you aren't and you get all kinds of sweets. This holiday just screams Kensi Blye."
"A holiday that encourages little kids to pretend to be something they are not and to accept candy from strangers." Kensi retorted.
"Wow, that's a pessimistic point of view." Deeks said, leaning against the tower punching bag.
"It's a realistic point of view." Kensi firmly stated, and then did a roundhouse kick to the punching bag, which also managed to nick Deeks in the head.
"Hey!" He protested. "Don't kick me in the head."
"Oh, I barely nicked you. If I really wanted to do harm, I could."
Deeks snorted. "Trust me, I know. But I could stop you if I wanted."
Kensi raised an eyebrow at him. "You really think that?"
"I know that. Don't forget, I was undercover as a MMA fighter for a while."
Kensi let out a small laugh "And got your ass handed to you by Sam." She pointed out.
"I pulled a few punches."
"And just because you pulled a few punches, you think you can take me." Kensi stated. Deeks just nodded. Kensi gave a small, evil smile. "That sounds like a challenge to me."
Deeks opened his mouth to protest, but a thought came to him. "Ok, then. We'll spar. But how about raising the stakes."
Kensi looked at him suspiciously. "What did you have in mind?"
"If I win, you have to help me hand out candy. And you have to wear a costume of my choice."
"And if I win?"
"I'll buy you donuts for a week and I will not mention your sugar addiction that whole time."
"Ok, deal." She said. This was going to be an easy way to get free donuts for a week.
Kensi sat in her car, dreading going up to Deeks' apartment. She had lost the sparring match to him. To Deeks. She hardly ever loses and to lose to Deeks was humiliating. Granted, it was her own fault. She underestimated him and he knew a few more grappling moves than she thought.
With a sigh, she got out of her car and made her way up to Deeks' apartment. She knocked on the door, waiting for him to let her in.
When the door opened, Kensi didn't see the normal Deeks, wearing jeans and a plaid shirt. Instead, he was wearing a Green Arrow costume.
"Hey, come in." He said, motioning for her to enter. Kensi walked in and couldn't help but smile. He was just so excited, it was almost enduring. Almost.
"You're a Green Arrow fan?"
Deeks smiled. "Yeah, he was always my favorite." He held up a brown bag. "And here is your costume. I think it's very fitting. You can change in the bathroom." He said, nodding down the hall.
Kensi took the bag and made her way to the bath room.
While she was changing, Deeks worked on getting everything ready for the kids. He had the bowl of candy ready, as well as a backup. Plus there was a bowl just for Kensi, full of her favorite candies. He figured this would be the best way to prevent her from eating candy out of the bowl for the trick-or treaters.
He had just popped in a movie to watch while they waited for the kids to come (Young Frankenstein, one of his favorites) when he heard the bathroom door open. Deeks turned towards the hall and was awarded with the site of Kensi, wearing a Wonder Woman costume.
"You know, somehow I am not surprised that you picked this out for me." She said, not even hiding the smile.
Deeks returned the smile. "What can I say, it fits you." He stated. He sat on the couch patted the cushion next to him. "I figured we could watch a movie while we wait for trick-or-treaters."
Kensi took a sit next to him and Deeks started the movie.
As the night went on, they took turns giving candy out to little kids. And as much as Kensi hated to admit it, she had fun. Deeks excitement for the holiday was contagious and she grew happier and happier as the night went on.
The kids stopped showing up about 10 o'clock. Kensi and Deeks were sitting on the couch, watching the end of Young Frankenstein. Monty, who had been hiding in the bedroom for most of the night, had his head on Deeks lap and Deeks was gently scratching the dog's ears.
It hit Kensi how comfortable she was at that very moment. She realized that she and Deeks had cross the line of just being partners to being friends also.
"Hey, Deeks."
"Hmm?"
"Thanks for forcing me to come tonight. I actually had fun."
Deeks smiled at her. "You're welcome." They were both quiet for a moment, then Deeks said, "You do realize I am gonna tell everyone that I beat you while sparring, right?"
"Like they will believe you."
Deeks just smiled. They both knew he was going to tell and they both knew no one would believe him. But that was just fine with him. Because he got his Wonder Woman here tonight and that was all he really wanted.
Yay, another chapter done. Originally I was going to use a Halloween story as a one shot, but this came to me and it seemed to fit.
Anyway, once again, thanks for the reviews and the positive feedback I've been getting. It's great to receive all of this support for my writing. But I am sorry to tell you it'll be about a week before my next update. I move back to school on Friday and I really need to pack. But once I am moved in, I will update again.
Once again, feel free to point out any spelling mistakes (spelling is not my strong suite).
Happy Reading and feel free to review! See you in a week!
