"It's so unfair!" Deeks moaned. He had been at his desk all day, working on a pile of paperwork and it seemed to have not shrunk at all.

Kensi glanced over her magazine that she was reading. She had been done with her paperwork since early that morning and only stayed at the Mission to rub this fact in Deeks' face. "Well, if you haven't put it off for so long, then you would have been done this morning, like me." She said, giving a sweet smile.

"Sure, rub it in my face." Deeks grumbled.

"Truth hurts."

"But paperwork is so boring!" Deeks whined.

"A necessary evil." Kensi pointed out.

Deeks mumbled something under his breath and then an idea popped into his head. He walked over to Kensi's desk and sat on it.

Kensi tried to ignore him, but he made that very difficult by messing around with the pencils on her desk. She looked up at her partner. "Can I help you?"

"Actually, you could." He gave her a charming grin. "You could help me with my paper work."

"Deeks, no. You need to need to do your own work." Kensi said firmly.

"But Kensi!"

"But Deeks!" Kensi mimicked her partner.

Deeks pouted a little. "If you truly care for me then you would help me do my paperwork."

"Guess I don't really care for you then." Kensi replied flippantly.

Deeks stood up from his desk. "Fine. If you gonna be that way." And he plopped down in his chair, attention back on his paper work.

For the next few minutes, Deeks focused mainly on his work, ignoring everyone around him. It wasn't until someone put a cup of coffee down in front of him that he finally took some notice. Kensi was standing in front of his desk. "Give me half of your paperwork."

"Huh?"

"I'll help you with your paperwork, as long as you promise not to tell anyone."

Deeks handed her half of his files. "Deal."

Kensi took the files and settled down at her desk. Because this was actually the real reason why she stayed. Kensi Marie Blye had her partner's back, from firefights to paperwork.


Thought this word was fitting for avoiding paperwork. And now I have to go get ready for karate.
