A/N: Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I have been absent from the site for so long due to personal issues, no internet for like a month, work and exams at school I needed to study for, which did no good becuase I failed them all. Badly. Dad will kill me (not literally) when he finds out how bad. So hence why I have been absent for so long.

I finally have a little freedom from work (Woot!) and now have some time to write. Sexual Harrasment is doen, just needs some fine tweaking so should be up early next week. Please don't hate me. I hope this is okay...

Prompt was Hope!

Drowning the shot, Kensi raised an eyebrow at what Callen was saying. Had, been saying for the past half hour. The two were at the bar after work. Sam and Deeks were supposed to join them soon. Nate had not yet returned from his undisclosed location, but had he been here he might have joined them. Eric had a date, and Hetty had a meeting with Vance.

"I'm just saying that -" Callen was interrupted by the arrival of Sam and Deeks.

"Saying what G?" Sam interrupted, a small smile gracing his features.

"That Kensi will find someone for her. That the perfect someone is -"

"Don't say right around the corner. That is so clichéd," Deeks interrupted Callen again. Wrapping an arm around Kensi, Deeks held her close. "Kensi, someone somewhere out there is right for you… you only have to look hard enough. And actually give them more then one date to prove it." Winking at her, her mouth felt open in shock as she looked towards Callen, who was laughing.

Sam held his hands up in mock surrender. "Don't look at me!"

"Kensi, it is a well known fact about you," Deeks continued on, ignoring her death glares. "But seriously…" he changed tactics seeing that her glare was now aimed directly at him. "Have a little hope, is all," he finished of lamely.

"I'm getting more drinks," she stormed off to the bar, not bothering to ask if the others wanted one.

"What brought that on?" Sam asked his partner.

"Oh that guy there," Callen pointed to the guy, at the bar, drowning a shot, "asked her out - second guy tonight. She got all irritated and defensive about it, kicked up a fuss."

"And let me guess," Sam laughed, "you said the wrong thing trying to cheer her up? Mentioned her one date only rule?"

"Yeah," he sipped his beer, "sounds about right." Then he looked at Deeks. "Why are you so late?"

"Me?" he defended himself. "What about Sam?"

"Oh nuh-uh newbie. You're not dumping this on me. I was waiting for you remember. The one who's car conveniently broke down."

"I was talking to Hetty," Deeks admitted.

"About?" Callen inquired, but it was at that second Kensi arrived, dropping shot glasses on the table for the group, plus a bottle of very expensive liquor. "Kensi?"

"Shut up," she hissed as she poured them all shots, "just shut up and let me get drunk tonight okay?"

"Sure," Sam picked up his shot, "but you'll have one hell of a hang over tomorrow."

She mock toasted Sam, drowning the shot before pouring herself another one, all eyes on her. "Well," Deeks held up his shot as Kensi raised hers to her lips. "Here is to hope. May we all find that someone special."

Everyone drowned their shots, before Sam shook his head gently. "Not a chance Deeks. Not a chance."
