A/N: Tumblr prompt, Anonymous: Anything Densi!

So this is what happens when you tell me to write anything for my favorite pairing. FYI, I'm a huge angst and hurt/comfort fan.

The sound of the car door opening and closing jolted Deeks from his thought. Those thoughts being mostly about a certain brunette who had been in the house he was sitting in front of. They were working on a case that involved a 15 year old girl who had been abducted and sold into slavery ring. They had rescued her, but not before damage was done. She had been beaten and raped. Kensi and Deeks had been put on the mission of talking to her. On the way they had decided it would be best if Deeks stayed back while Kensi went in and talked to her.

"Let's go." She commanded, the hard tone of her voice making Deeks look at her closely. He took in her glazed eyes, rigid posture.

"You okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine." She answered quickly, not even glancing at him. At that answer he knew something had happened.

"Are you sure?" He asked, knowing he was pushing her, but couldn't help it.

"Deeks, just drive." She ordered, her tone deadly.

"Alright." He said, giving in with a sigh. He knew that she would shut down fully if he kept pushing.

His worry grew after he had driven them to the boat shed. After he had parked she had handed him the tape of the girl's report and made no sign of getting out.

"You coming in?" He asked, watching her closely.

"Um, yeah….just give me a moment." She said hesitantly as she continued to stare out the window at nothing. The watery look in her eyes making his heart drop.

"Alright." He said, not sure he should leave her alone at the moment. He got out and headed into the building, glancing back at the car before closing the door behind him. He walked into the main room where Callen and Sam were sitting. He threw the tape towards Sam who caught it.

"Here." He stated before turning around to head back outside.

"Where's Kensi?" Callen asked.

"In the car. Be back in a bit." Deeks called back. His tone making the other two men start to worry. Sam shrugged when Callen looked at him and handed the tape over so Callen could start playing it.

When Deeks got outside he saw Kensi still in the car, still staring into space. He huffed and started towards the SRX, bracing himself for a talk that neither was going to like. He opened the driver's side door and slowly got in, knowing that she knew what was coming and was being careful not to scare her away.

"You aren't going to listen to it?" She asked, her voice soft and controlled. He knew she was on the verge of breaking, but was trying to hold it back. The shaky undertone not lost on him.

"No." He stated, not looking at her but in the same direction she was staring in.

"Why not?" She asked, but he knew she knew why. She was just stalling.

"Because, something is going on with my partner and I want…...need to know what it is." He said, finally looking over at her. He saw her walls slowly crumbling as a lone tear snaked its way down her cheek.

"Kens, what happened? You were fine when you went in." He asked. She blew out a puff of air that she had been holding and more tears started to fall. He didn't know what was more heart breaking, having her cry in his arms or watching her silently suffer.

"I couldn't get her to talk. I had to make her feel comfortable, make her feel like I understood her." Kensi started to explain.

"I told her about what happened to me…...in Afghanistan." She continued, hesitating on the name of the country. The country that held so many bad memories for her.

"It didn't work though." She said.

"What do you mean?" He asked with a confused look on his face.

"She didn't think that it was the same as what she went through. She said that those men were terrorists and were known to do that, the person who hurt her wasn't known to do that." Kensi said, her voice breathless as she held her emotions back, only letting the tears flow. Even though the girl was hurt, traumatized and much more, Deeks' anger sparked towards the kid. How could she say that to someone who had been through the same hell?

"So, I told her about what happened to me when I was her age." She said, her voice cracking. The revelation made Deeks sick to his stomach, but he schooled his features so he didn't show much reaction. He reached over and took her hand, she grabbed onto his with a vise grip. It was like she was trying to use his strength to hold herself together.

"Do you want to tell me?" He asked carefully, knowing it was thin ice for Kensi, one wrong step and she would fall apart. She shook her head. He nodded, knowing that it was too close at the moment.

"That's okay. You can tell me when you to." He assured her, running his thumb over the top of her hand.

"It was really bad, Deeks." She said before her voice cracked again, but this time she fell completely. The words brought Deeks back to the camp where he had held her all those months ago, promising that they were going home. Her sobs prompted him to drop her hand and get out of the car.

He scurried around to her side, opened the door and pulled her out. Leaning against the car he pulled her into his arms, wrapping them tightly around her as her sobs increased. The sounds of her sobs made him feel sicker, knowing that he couldn't do anything to make her feel better. It was all memories and you can't do anything about that, can't do anything to resolve it. After a few minutes she quieted down, but stayed in his hold.

He looked up when he heard the door open and saw Sam and Callen exiting the building, they had deep frowns and the hardness in their eyes told him how bad it was. Their faces fell into looks of worry as they looked over to the two young agents. Callen gave him a "is she okay?" nod. He looked back at them and shook his head. Both of the older agents sighed and walked over slowly.

Callen came up first and cautiously laid a hand on her shoulder. Deeks felt Kensi jump and tense at the touch and gently soothed her, knowing that she was possibly going through flashbacks. Sam put a strong hand on his shoulder, the feel helping Deeks to stay grounded.

"Hey, it's just me. Callen." Callen said softly and Kensi relaxed and pulled back from Deeks, wiping at her eyes as she did.

Callen….."She started, but was cut off by him taking hold of her shoulders, making her look at him.

"Nothing that was said will dictate how we see you. Okay?" He said, asking for confirmation while looking straight into her eyes. She just nodded.

"We mean it Kensi." Sam added. She smiled lightly before looking at Deeks. Her eyes held a questioning look in them which he understood and quickly answered.

"I meant it, I will wait til you are ready to tell me. No pressure."

She went up to him and kissed him on the lips and hugged him.

"I love you." She whispered in his ear. A smile lite up his face.

"I love you too, Kens." He said softly. He looked over at Callen who gave him a wink before he and Sam headed off to the challenger. He pushed her away so he could walk around to the driver's side again.

"Come on Kensalina. Let's get out of here so we can go home." He said before backing out and heading towards the mission.
