A/N: Well this is certainly longer then all my others... I put some of my thoughts on Valentines Day into this fic, so sorry if it's really out of character. I guess a Happy Valentines Day to all that celebrate and enjoy the day - sorry it's so late. Or Happy Anti Valentines Day to those like me...

Don't know where this idea came from. I hope this one's okay... I really was not sure how to end it... The ending's crap, but I fixed it up as best as I could.

Prompt was Diamonds

Diamonds were a girl's best friend, or at least, that's how it was supposed to go.

Kensi was a one date type girl. She made her best effort to make the date as fun and as fresh as possible, knowing that it would be the last date with who ever she went out with.

So when she went out on a date with someone, for the second time, she knew there was something different about him and that this could possibly become serious. Not that she minded; she really liked Kevin. She just didn't want it to become to serious to fast.

After their third date, it was Valentines Day, and, like every other valentines day, Kensi was working. She hated this holiday, and tired hard to ignore it every year. This year however, she couldn't.

There were flowers sitting on her desk when she arrived at work. Not just any flowers, but a dozen red roses. And to accompany them, Sam sat on her desk and Callen in her seat.

"I hate flowers," Kensi said, walking straight to the roses, dumping them into the bin, not bothering to smell them or anything.

"Good morning," Callen greeted her cheerfully. Kensi glared at him.

"I hate flowers."

"And it's a good thing that I removed this," Sam said, handing her a small package with an attached card.

Happy Valentines Day,

Love Kevin.

Attached was a small box, and Kensi opened it to find a necklace, with a small diamond attached. She looked at it and sighed loudly.

"So who's it from?" Callen asked, craning his neck to see.

"Whoa," Sam muttered, "Kens, it's beautiful."

"Yeah," she muttered sadly, "it's too bad."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend… or at least, that's how it's supposed to go."

"Kensi?" Callen asked confused.

"I had more then one date with someone…" she trailed of at the looks Callen and Sam got on their faces. "Oh great, you bet on that to?"

"You bet!" Sam spoke grinning, "But," he waved his hand, "continue on."

"And diamonds usually signify a serious relationship."

"Ah… I see the problem," Callen spoke nodding. Sam frowned at him.

"She doesn't want a serious relationship, and if she accepts the necklace she is saying she wants a serious relationship."

"Kensi," Sam looked away from his partner to face the female agent. "Keep it, you chucked the flowers, which probably cost more then the necklace."

"Yeah, because he bought them on Valentines Day, a day to exploit money from all the males in this town and a day designed to make people who don't tell their partners how much they love them to tell them how much they love them, then, when it's over they go back to how they were before."

"I sense a little negativity," Callen joked. He saw Kensi's look and apologised. "Look, do you like him? Her?"

Kensi glared at him and he held his hands up in mock surrender. "Slip of the tongue. I swear. Well, if you like him, what is there to fear?"

"Whoa… roses? In the Bin? On Valentines Day?" Dom asked walking towards the trio, followed by Nate, "someone obviously has a problem with roses."

"Not roses," Callen told the younger agent. "Diamonds."
