"This sucks and I hate this." Kensi spat out.

"Yeah, well, you need it." Deeks answered as he shifted in the chair. They were sitting in the ER, waiting for Kensi to get her wrist X-rayed.

"Why do I have to get the X-ray and you don't?"

"Because I'm not the one cradling my wrist against my body." Deeks replied, still shifting in the hard plastic chair. It seemed like no matter how he sat, his ribs was in pain. He knew he probably should be checked out, but he was more worried about Kensi than himself.

It was the same old story- Deeks and Kensi went to talk to the suspect, suspect decided to flee, Deeks and Kensi put up a chase. When the two finally caught up with the guy and tackled him to the ground, it became obvious that the suspect was on PCP or something, because he suddenly turned into a madman and charged at them. He tackled Kensi at her waist and took her down to the ground. They grappled for about 30 seconds before Deeks jumped in to try and pull them apart. What he earned in his effort was a swift kick to the ribs. By the time Callen and Sam finally caught up, Deeks had the suspect pinned to the ground and Kensi was off to the side, cradling her wrist. So in the end, Callen and Sam took the suspect off to the Boathouse, while Deeks drove Kensi to the ER.

That was about two hours ago and they are still waiting to be seen.

"I still don't wanna be here." Kensi whined.

Deeks raised an eyebrow. "Did you just whine?"

"No." Kensi said shortly and then pouted.

Deeks smiled. "I can tell the drugs are working. You only pout when you are on drugs."

"Well, you try and have a broken bone and see how you like it."

"I'll pass. I've never broken a bone and I would like to keep it that way."

Kensi gave him a disbelieving look. "You've never broken a bone?"

"Not even my nose."

"I don't believe you. After all the times you've gone surfing, you are telling me that you never broke a bone in a wipe out."

Deeks grinned. "Not even once."

Kensi was about to reply when a nurse walked into the little examination room. "Kensi Blye?"

"Yes?"

"We need to see how bad your wrist is broken, so we need to go get it x-rayed. If you would just please take a seat in the wheel chair, we can be on our way."

"I can walk there." Kensi stated firmly. Deeks heard the stubbornness tone in her voice and decided to stop her before she went on a rampage.

"Kensi Marie Blye, you are going to use the wheel chair and you are not going to complain about it. Do you understand?" Deeks said, using the most authoritative voice he could mustered.

"Will you come with me?" Kensi asked. If anyone accused her of being needy at that point, she planned on blaming everything on the drugs.

"I'm sorry, but your friend has to stay here. It will only be a couple of minutes." The nurse said, throwing an apologetic look.

"That's fine. I'll just wait here." Deeks said. He saw Kensi was about to argue, but he cut her off. "Don't worry, Fern. I'll be here."

By this time, Kensi was sitting in the wheel chair. She gave Deeks a glare, but didn't say anything. As the nurse rolled her off, Deeks heard the nurse ask, "If your name is Kensi, why did he called you Fern?" Deeks couldn't help but smile. He then picked up a random magazine, tried to get comfortable in the stupid plastic chair and began the wait for the return of his partner.

"So as you can see, it's only a fracture, which means you will probably only be in a cast for a couple of weeks." The doctor said, pointing at the X-ray.

"And is there anything specific that you don't want her to do?" Deeks asked.

"Keep the cast dry and try not to aggregate it in any sort of way. Sex shouldn't be a problem, unless you are into more…unique styles."

"Wait, what?" Kensi asked, snapping out of her drug daze slightly.

The doctor looked between Kensi and Deeks. "I assumed you two were together."

"No, we are only work partners!" Kensi said, slightly frantic.

"With benefits." Deeks added with a grin.

Kensi smacked him with her good hand. "No, there are absolutely no benefits. Not unless you like pain."

"You know how I like it, Baby girl." Deeks said, aggravating Kensi even more.

"Ok, you know what, that's it. I want you to check him out." Kensi said towards the doctor.

"Oh, so now you are trying to pimp me out to other females? I am hurt that you are willing to use me in such a manner." Deeks teased.

Kensi ignored him and continued to talk to the doctor. "He has been favoring his left side all evening. Earlier today he got kicked in the ribs pretty hard and I am worried that he broke a few."

By then Deeks realized that Kensi was serious. "I'm fine." He said, looking at the doctor.

"If you were kicked there, we probably should look at them, just to be on the safe side." The doctor said. "How about we just go and take a few X-rays, just to make sure." Secretly, the doctor didn't mind. She was attracted to Deeks and this gave her a reason to see him without a shirt on. "If you would please take a seat in the wheel chair…"

"I am perfectly capable to walk down the hall." Deeks argued.

"Just take the wheel chair and quit whining. If I had to do it, so do you." Kensi said, fighting back a grin. She had planned on talking to the doctor about Deeks before he irritated her, but this works out just fine.

"I can't believe you actually got them to take an X-ray of me." Deeks grumbled. It was the next morning and the two were just getting to their desks.

"Well, apparently it was a good thing that I did, since you had four broken ribs. Four!" Kensi exclaimed.

"I honestly didn't know they were broken. I just thought they were bruised." Deeks defended.

Kensi rolled her eyes. "Oh, because that is so much better."

"You know, I think I liked you better when you were all drugged up." Deeks said thoughtfully. Kensi didn't have a comeback for that statement, so she just stuck her tongue out at her partner. "Well, isn't that mature." He stated.

At this point, Callen and Sam, who were sitting behind their desks, gave each other a knowing look before returning to their paperwork. "Children, behave. I don't want to be forced to separate you two." Sam said without even looking up from the paperwork.

"He started it." Kensi said.

"I did not! You made them take an X-ray of me!"

"You needed it! Besides, you liked the fact you had to take your shirt off in front of that doctor and nurse. I saw the doctor slip you her number, don't even try to deny it!"

Deeks grinned. "Wasn't planning on it."

"You got a doctor's number?" Callen asked, slightly impressed. He honestly didn't think Deeks had it in him to attract someone with that amount of intelligence.

"No need to sound surprise. I happen to be quite a catch." Deeks said, somewhat defensively.

"Someday I am going to shot you myself." Kensi snapped. "You are a pig!" and with that, she marched out of the Bullpen.

"Don't act that way, Princess." Deeks called out after her, but she didn't react, just continued on her way.

Callen and Sam shared another look. "Wow, she's really pissed off." Callen stated.

Deeks sighed. "Yeah….I better go talk to her." And with that, he followed her.

Once Deeks was out of earshot, Sam looked at Callen and said, "I believe you owe me 50 bucks."

"What? No way, that is not proof that they are together." Callen protested.

"Of course it is, she's pissed off that he's flirting with other women." Sam argued.

"That is not proof. I want either physical proof or the announcement from them that they are together. Other than that, it's all hearsay or speculation." Callen firmly stated.

"Fine," Sam said, giving in. "But I still think they are together." And with that, the two partners stopped talking and went back to the paperwork.

"Kensi, wait!" Deeks called out to his partner. He would have caught up to her sooner, but the broken ribs hindered his movement.

"What?" Kensi snapped, whirling around to face him.

"What are you so upset about?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"Something, because you look really pissed right now." Deeks said. By this time he had maneuvered his body so that Kensi was trapped between him and the wall. "So why don't you tell me what's wrong."

Kensi remained quiet.

Deeks decided his best option was to continue to talk and hope that she'll finally give up the reason. "Well, I know it had to do with last night. And probably had to do with the doctor flirting with me…" a thought came to him and Deeks smiled. "You were jealous!"

"NO!" Kensi denied, a little too loudly and a little too fast.

Deeks smirked at her. " The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Kensi raised an eyebrow. "Shakespeare? Really?"

"Yes really and don't change the topic." Deeks said.

"I'm not and I was not jealous." Kensi said. After a beat and receiving a disbelieving look she added "…much. I wasn't jealous much."

"I knew it!"

Kensi's eyes narrowed. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Deeks shrugged. "A little. I didn't think it would have that much of an effect on you, though."

Kensi was quiet for a moment and then said "Well, it did." She then did something surprising; she moved closer to Deeks, pressing her body against Deeks.

Deeks felt his breath catch, but he didn't say anything. Just when he thought she was going to kiss him, she lightly smacked his ribs, causing him to wince and back away from her.

"If you ever try to make me jealous again, I will cause you more pain than you can ever imagine." And she walked off, back towards the Bullpen.

Deeks waited for a moment, before he smiled. He definitely planned on trying to make her jealous again. It might be a death wish, but hell, a pissed off Kensi was a very hot sight to see.

Another chapter done and I believe it's my longest yet. YAY. And another yay I would like to add is that I did in fact make it to 100. Past even! So thank you for the lovely reviews, I greatly appreciate it. Now I only have two letters left *sad face* I am going to try my best to make them longer.

Anyway, as usual, feel free to leave a review and happy reading!
