Another Friday night...and as a bit of a christmas bonus a snapshot of a Saturday morning as well :P Hope you enjoy! (Disclaimer is still in place)
The morning following Deeks success in the annual LAPD basketball game had subtly led to changes in Kensi and Deeks relationship. While Deeks had arisen at the usual hour that morning, Kensi had slept well into the day. As it approached midday, Deeks decided he would wake her. Putting his cunning plan into play, Deeks had catapulted himself onto the bed, practically landing on top of her. Kensi's eyes were wide open within a second and she'd taken in her partner's smug look with a glare.
'What time is it?' She'd asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
'It's 11 bloody am, Kens.' He'd laughed at her drowsiness.
'This is best sleep in I've had in years. Go away.' She'd growled, pulling the covers back up and closing her eyes.
Deeks had responded by leaping off the bed pulling back the doona and sheets with him. This had left Kensi, lying bare in front of him. During the night Deeks extra baggy shirt had moved up exposing her taught stomach. His large pants had made their way down to her ankles, leaving Kensi in her plain black hipster undies. While it was nothing super exposing (in fact he'd probably seen more when Kensi was in a bikini) Deeks was one hundred percent sure he'd never seen such a perfect combination of beauty and sexiness before. He'd opened his mouth to speak but no words had come out. Deeks was sure Kensi was going to beat him to a pulp. He therefore had received the shock of his life when Kensi finally moved. Instead of killing him, she'd slowly risen from the bed, pulling down the shirt to cover herself before speaking.
'Well I guess you have pancakes waiting for me.'
With that said she'd walked out of the bedroom, plenty of leg still exposed and eaten the pancakes Deeks had prepared for her. She'd spent the rest of that morning roaming around his house in only his t-shirt and some underwear. That morning both Kensi and Deeks had realised just how comfortable they'd become with each other. Since then they'd spent increasingly more time together, their sleepovers no longer confined to just Friday night but occasionally happening throughout the week as well.
...
A few weeks after that morning had passed. No plans had been made for Friday night but it was essentially a given that the two partners would spend it together. About an hour after arriving home from work Friday afternoon Deeks phone piped up with an all too familiar ring tone.
'What's up?' Deeks greeted, answering his phone.
'Hey, you up to anything?' His partner had asked in return.
'Nope, just hanging out with my boy.'
'Your boy?'
'Yeah, Monty. Jeez Kens, way to hurt his feelings.' The Detective chuckled as he pictured Kensi rolling her eyes.
'Oh well in that case. I'm going for a run down by the beach, you and your boy want to join me?' She'd asked, emphasising the words 'your boy'.
'Not when talk about Monty like that.'
'Shut up Deeks. I'll be round in ten.' And with that she hung up.
...
True to her word Kensi barged through his door ten minutes later, making her way straight to Deeks bedroom, throwing down her go bag by the right side of the bed. Deeks hearing her enter quickly made his way towards her. Coming to stand in the doorway he frowned, watching with interest as Kensi dug through her bag, chucking her pyjamas on the bed before finding her watch.
'Planning on staying the night?' Deeks smirked at how straight forward Kensi was.
Kensi simply sent him a glare before walking towards him, stepping into his personal space and offering him her wrist.
'Do this up for me please and then we can go.' She replied pointing to her watch.
Deeks did as he was told and the two partners promptly made their way to beachfront with Monty. After jogging for a few of km's the pair had decided to walk briskly instead, making their way back towards Deeks' place.
'You know, you do a good job at keeping up with me these days Deeks, I'm actually impressed.' Kensi offered a cheeky smile to the detective.
'Are you implying that I used to be slow?' He asked frowning slightly as he came to stand in front of her, arms crossed.
'You, slow, never.' Kensi replied, sarcasm lacing her voice.
A grin slowly spread across her partners face. 'Do you want to go for a swim?' Deeks asked grabbing onto her shoulders, nudging her into the shallows of the water.
'Do you want a slow and painful death?' Kensi shot back, letting Deeks lead her further into the water.
'Your threats are empty Kensi Blye, you'd never do such a thing to me, I mean whose bed would you sleep in then?'
With the water now lapping above her knees Kensi decided it was time to put Deeks in his place. Quickly she grabbed his hands from her shoulder, as she gently tripped him up with her feet, allowing him to land fairly gracefully into the water as she made a run to the shore. Deeks resurfaced to find her back on dry land laughing at him.
'You're right Deeks.' She let out between snorts of laughter. 'I'd never actually kill you. Doesn't mean I'm going to let you dump me in the surf however.'
Deeks couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he made his way towards her. 'Well played Fern, well played.'
'Oh and Deeks,' she continued, recovering from the laughter as he reached her. 'I shot gun first shower.'
'Really? You're really going to shot gun my shower.' Deeks laughed, emphasising the word 'my'. 'Well that's just not fair.' Saying that Deeks pulled off his now drenched training singlet, dumping it on Kensi's head before shaking his shaggy hair in her direction, droplets of water going everywhere.
'I'm going to kill you Deeks!' With that said the two partner resumed running, Kensi sprinting after Deeks, Monty following behind them.
...
It was well into the evening when there was an unexpected knock at Deeks' door. The two partners had finished the takeout they'd collected on their run and Kensi was now in the shower. Deeks was still shirtless when he answered the door.
'Nell?'
'Hey Deeks.' The analysts paused giving the detective a once over. 'I'm sorry, am I interrupting something.'
'No not at all come in.' Deeks opened the door wider, gesturing for the small red head to enter his home. While Deeks loved Nell, he felt slightly awkward knowing Kensi was taking a shower in the room next door.
'I won't stay long,' Nell offered him a sweet smile. 'I was going to come by earlier but had to have dinner with the old folks. I just wanted to drop around your...'
Nell was cut off as another females voice bellowed from the bathroom.
'Hey Deeks, can you grab me a towel from the cupboard please? I forgot to get one myself.'
Nell frowned recognising the voice. 'Is that...'
'Have a seat Nell.' Deeks cut in directing her to the couch, I'll be back in a tick.
'Deeks.' Kensi shouted out again worried she hadn't be heard the first time.
'Coming.' Deeks shouted in reply, quickly making his way through the bedroom towards the bathroom.
'Um Kens,' Deeks began as he handed the towel to Kensi between the small crack in the door. 'We kinda have a guest so you may not want to come out in your pyjamas.'
'What? I didn't bring any other clothes except for my now wet running gear.' Kensi hissed through the door.
'Look I gotta go back out there, I'm sure you'll think of something.' Deeks replied hurriedly wanting to get back to Nell before she began to think something was going on.
'Sorry Nell you were saying?' Deeks offered a bright smile coming to sit next to his friend.
'Oh yeah, I just wanted to drop by this.' Nell replied holding out a small black USB with Marty Deeks written across it. 'I found it on the floor in Ops, wasn't sure if you needed it over the weekend or not.'
Deeks took the USB from Nell, his head dropping back on the couch in relief. 'Thank god you found it. That has all my reports from the last month on it, can you imagine what Hetty would do to me if she found out. I'm pretty sure I owe you my life Nell.'
'Haha I'm not sure about that.' Nell grinned at the detective's look of relief. 'Maybe you can buy me a drink next team dinner instead.'
'It would be my pleasure.' Deeks offered her a mock bow causing the pair to break into laughter.
At that moment Kensi entered the lounge room.
'Nell?' Her voice carried the shock she was feeling seeing the intelligence analysis sitting on Deeks' couch.
'Hey Kensi.' Nell replied as Deeks watched his partner nervously trying to gauge her reaction.
'Hey. What cha doing here?' Kensi asked casually, coming to sit in an armchair by the couch.
'Deeks left his USB in ops thought he might need it over the weekend.'
'You thought you'd lost it didn't you?' Kensi accused Deeks.
'So what have you guys been up to?' Nell asked innocently looking between the two.
Kensi looked at Deeks, silently begging him to come up with some practical excuse for their current situation.
'Training.' Deeks replied
'Oh training for what?' Nell asked curious.
'Um just fitness stuff - went for a run. And Kensi's showers not working so I uh offered her a shower here, you know because she was all sweaty and disgusting after the run.' Deeks began rambling.
Kensi rolled her eyes.
'Oh, fair enough.' Nell replied taking in Kensi's appearance – A large LAPD shirt and some very baggy basketball shorts, clearly not her own. Silence fell upon the trio.
'Uh, did you want a drink or something?' Deeks asked Nell, playing the perfect house guest.
'Um sure thanks.' Nell replied.
With the drinks provided, Deeks headed for the shower, leaving the two women to chat. When he returned Nell excused herself, explaining she had a weekend full of 'family fun'.
'Thank god she's gone.' Kensi let out as soon as Nell was gone.
'Um.' Deeks turned to look at her, eyebrows raised in shock.
'No, that's not what I meant, I love Nell!' Kensi replied hurriedly, realising how bad her words sounded.
'Okay then what did you mean?' Deeks asked.
'I'm just really keen for bed, that's all. Can't exactly go to sleep when a guest is here can I?' Kensi explained.
'Keen for bed because you're tired or keen for bed because you get to snuggle?' Deeks asked cheekily.
'Shut up Deeks.' Kensi replied making her way to the bedroom.
'By the way.' Deeks called after her. 'Nice outfit you choose there.'
'Yeah, well nice cover story Deeks. My shower broke? Really?'
'Hmm, there's no way she believes us. Do you reckon she thinks we're...' Deeks voice died out as he dropped into his bed.
'Hmm.' Kensi replied, a distant look on her face. Nell had probably got the wrong idea, or maybe the right one actually. Kensi just hoped she'd keep it to herself.
'You getting into bed?' Deeks asked breaking her from her thoughts.
'I think I may change into my own pyjamas first.' Kensi offered him a cheeky grin as they both recalled the last time she'd fallen into bed dressed in his clothes.
'I really don't mind if you don't.' Deeks replied giving her a wink.
'I know.' Kensi laughed making her way to the bathroom pj's in hand.
Returning in her own flannelette pj pants and singlet top Kensi joined Deeks under the covers. Resting her head on her pillow she turned to face Deeks who was looking directly at her.
Neither could bring themselves to look away from the other. A soft smile spread across Deeks' face as he watched Kensi, laying there next to him looking so at peace. Kensi couldn't help but return the smile, Deeks goofy grin was contagious.
Without a word, Deeks hand ventured under the sheets, two fingers slipping under the waistband on Kensi's pyjama pants, tugging her closer. Kensi obliged, shifting herself so that her forehead met with Deeks' where the two pillows met.
'Much better.' Deeks whispered, still refusing to look away from her.
'I can do one better.' Kensi replied, voice husky. With that said, she grabbed Deeks wrist pulling it across her body so his hand sat gently in the small of her back. Deeks took the hint, pulling her in closely.
'We should probably get some sleep.' Deeks began, letting out a yawn. 'I'm planning on a surf tomorrow morning and you're coming.'
'I clearly don't get a say in this.' Kensi replied, snuggling in closer to Deeks, closing her eyes.
'Nope. Night Kens.'
'Night Deeks.'
