Title: Season Six Snippets

Chapter: Anniversary

Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS LA or the characters.

Summary: This snippet is in honor of Kensi and Deeks' five year anniversary as partners. I still have a small hope that this special occasion will be mentioned at the beginning of season 7. The setting for this story is going to be between 6x21, Beacon and 6x22, Field of Fire. It's pure fluff.

Anniversary

"What are you doing?" Callen asks as his attention is capturd by Deeks whizzing by with a second file box.

"Yeah, why are you looking through cases from…," Sam leans over to read the side of one of the boxes, "2010?"

"Why isn't it here?" he asks flipping through files and ignoring Sam and Callen's inquiries. He doesn't have time for this. He only has 20 minutes tops before Kensi is back with lunch.

"Why isn't what there?" Sam asks.

"The file for the Aubrey Darva case," Deeks answers. "I need to know the dates of the first case Kensi and I worked together."

"Why do you need…?" Callen trails off as the reason why occurs to him. "Ah, there's an anniversary coming up."

"A big one," Sam adds putting everything together. "What month did you start with us?"

"March, April, I don't know. That's why I'm looking for the case file. Kensi remembers dates. She knows the date she and her father finished fixing up their first car. She knows the date she cut her mom out of her life. She knows the date she reconnected with her mom. She knows the date she joined NCIS. She remembers the date she met one of her best friends when she was seven years old. This is going to be important to her," Deeks explains, starting to panic.

"What if she cares more about the day you met?" Callen asks, playing on Deeks' anxiety.

"No, she'll want to celebrate the first case we worked from start to finish together." Deeks doesn't let Callen rattle him. "Plus, she didn't like me very much when we met."

"That's right, she didn't like you much. Are you sure she even counts that first case? Maybe she really didn't consider you her partner until you came back from that trafficking case. In that case you have a few months before there's anything to celebrate. Or maybe she didn't consider you her partner until she actually started to like you," Sam takes a try at rattling Deeks.

"When was that? Last week?" Callen jabs.

"You two are no help at all," Deeks accuses, briefly glancing up from the files to give them a pointed look. "Ah ha! Found it!" he exclaims. "My first official day with NCIS was April 23rd. We caught the Darva case that day. We wrapped it up on April 27th. You'll see how much she likes me after I plan the best anniversary ever."

"Lunch is here!" Kensi announces. Startled, Deeks throws the file he's holding in the box.

"What's all that?" she asks, nodding to the two boxes on his desk as she sets the food on her own.

"Ah, just helping Sam. Helping Sam with some files. Helping Sam look for an old case file, you know, for a case. I mean an old case that might have something to do with a new case," Deeks rambles thinking he's caught.

Luckily Kensi's desire for food overrides her desire to know why Deeks is acting weird.

"Okay," she says in a tone that lets him know she knows something is going on, but then she sits down and unwraps her taco unconcerned since it is normal for her boyfriend to act weird.

Deeks waits to see if Kensi brings up their 5 year anniversary, and when she doesn't he nonchalantly inquires about her plans for the Saturday that falls during the span that they worked the Darva case 5 years ago. It's also close to their 4 month anniversary as a couple. He asks her to save the day for them, but leaves the rest a surprise.

A few weeks later on a Saturday morning Kensi is lying on her couch half watching a nature show and wishing she hadn't had that last drink last night. It's definitely going to keep her from working out this morning and might even keep her on the couch for another few hours. Her phone alerts her to a new text message.

There's a surprise outside your door.

The test makes her smile and gets her up off the couch. When she peeks behind the blinds she expects to see Deeks and is disappointed he's not there. She opens the door to find a latte and a bakery bag on her step. Attached to the bag is a note.

Good morning beautiful,

I hope you had fun with the ladies. Enjoy your breakfast. I'll pick you up at 11:30. Wear a swimsuit for the first part of our day. Text if that's not enough time.

Deeks

They had taken a night off last night and Kensi is missing her man so she gives him a call.

"Hey there, how are you feeling?" he asks, answering her call.

"ettr ow," is her answer through a mouth full of homemade donut from her favorite little coffee shop.

"I figured it was a rough night when you were too out of it to catch me dropping off breakfast."

"Thank you for breakfast. This is amazing," she tells him, gratefully sipping her Hazelnut latte. "Didn't you want to join me?"

"I always want to join you, but there are plans to be made darlin'," he replies mysteriously.

"Okay then, I'll see you later."

Kensi knows he has something planned for their fifth anniversary as partners, so she showers and does her full makeup and hair routine while enjoying her latte. She also has a few surprises of her own up her sleeve. Deeks knocks at promptly 11:30. He's in Khaki's and a blue and brown checked button up.

"Hey babe, you look nice," Kensi compliments stepping into his arms before he even gets in the door. They share a lingering multitude of connected kisses hello. They are still in the lovey-dovey stage, where they can't get enough of each other, especially after they have been apart.

"You look stunning," he returns as his lips move to her jaw and then her neck. His hands roam down the sides of her sundress and then up her back. She smells like some type of flower, maybe honeysuckle he thinks as he pulls her closer.

She sighs, content to have him close, and excited about their day.

Deeks takes her to a park overlooking the city. He unpacks a blanket and cooler. They enjoy cheese, sausage, crackers, fruit, veggies, and a beer each.

"Happy Anniversary," Deeks says taking a box from his pocket and handing it to Kensi.

Inside she discovers a charm bracelet. The bracelet itself is black, white and silver. There are five charms, one for each year of their partnership. Kensi knows what each charm represents immediately. The boxing gloves are for when they met. The leaf, she's not sure if it's an actual Fern leaf, but that's what it represents. There's a beer stein for the shared moments as partners and friends. The sword symbolizes their banter and touché. Finally, there are playing cards that embody their commitment to being 'all in.'

"It's perfect! I love it!" she declares after taking the time to study each charm. As she leans in, her hand slides over his shoulder and around to the back of his neck. They share a few loving kisses. "I got you an accessory as well," she says pulling a box out of her bag.

"Yes, an Apple Watch!" he exclaims after opening it. "How did you know I wanted one?"

"You've only been talking about how cool it would be to talk into your wrist for like ever," she teases him.

"Thank you," he says genuinely, leaning over for a little kiss.

After lunch she finds out that she is wearing a swimsuit because they are going for a couples massage at a spa that's located right on the ocean. They have outdoor cabanas where you can receive your treatments.

"You awake over there?" Deeks asks an hour later, reaching over to nudge her hand that's dangling off the table with his.

She turns her head toward him and gives him a sleepy smile as she responds, "barely."

"I know, awesome right? I needed this."

"Pretty awesome. We deserve it," she agrees closing her eyes again.

"I made dinner reservations for seven, but don't have anything planned until then. What would you like to do? Beach? Hike?" Deeks asks once the masseuses have left them to have a few minutes of quiet and relaxation in the beautiful setting after the massage.

Kensi sits up slowly feeling like jell-o. She carefully slides off the table and walks over to Deeks. She rubs his shoulder. "Now that we are all relaxed I could really use a nap." She hopes he won't be too disappointed. To ensure he isn't, she demonstrates her complimentary idea to a nap by rubbing her hands over his back and adding, "it might be fun to do some other stuff all oiled up like this." She nips his ear and he wraps an arm around her waist pulling her close as he rolls onto his side.

"I love the way you think." he commends between kisses on the bare stomach his lips just couldn't resist.

"That's because it sounds a lot like the way you think," she says laughing as his scruff tickles her stomach.

"This is compliments of a Mr. Callen and Mr. Hanna," the waiter says, holding up a very expensive bottle of wine for Kensi and Deeks.

"That was very thoughtful of them," Deeks observes as the waiter pours.

"It was," Kensi agrees. "To us," she toasts holding up her glass once the waiter has gone.

"To us," Deeks repeats clinking his glass to hers.

Later that night Kensi comes out of the kitchen with a cake with five candles. It's a store bought cake, but Deeks can tell she added 'Happy Anniversary' and '5 years' in her own decorative frosting. She also drew a gun, handcuffs, and badge with frosting.

"That's fantastic!" Deeks comments.

"Thanks! Make a wish," she instructs.

"Together," he insists. "On three." He counts down and they both blow out the candles. "What did you wish for?" he asks as she cuts them each a piece of cake.

"More moments like this," she replies.

"That's sweet," he observes. His hand lingers on hers as she passes him a plate.

"What did you wish for?"

"It's a secret," he replies in order to get a rise out of her.

"Uh, I told you," she huffs, knowing that he's teasing, but still taking the bait.

"Everyone knows you're not supposed to tell what you wish for," he goads.

She sets her cake on the table and straddles him pinning his arms.

"Don't make me get rough Marty Deeks," she warns playfully.

"I like it when you're rough," he returns huskily as he bucks his hips under her.

She takes a finger full of frosting from his cake and smears it on his cheek. While she's kissing it off, he gets her back starting a sweet, sticky wrestling match. They end up on the floor with her on top of him.

"Tell me!" she demands pinning his arms above his head with one hand, and tickling him under said arms with the other.

"Okay, okay! I give! Let me up and I'll tell you!" Deeks cries out. She lets him up and he sits wrapping his arms around her. On one hand he's a little nervous to say his wish out loud. He doesn't want to freak her out. On the other hand he knows that she never would have gone all in if she didn't think there was potential for something long term between them. He divulges his wish in a roundabout way telling her, "I wished for five more years."

She smiles and states for him to confirm, "because then your ten-year rule will be met."

"Think you'll want to hang around that long and see what happens?" he hedges.

"I just might," she replies then plants a kiss on him.
