She bolts up in bed, clutching her blanket to her chest, screaming. She's shaking and sweat covers her. She looks towards her nightstand where her alarm clock is and bright red numbers flash at her 2:00am. Its to early to get up and go work or gym so she lies back down but she knows its very rare for her to go back to sleep right now. It happens all the time, the stupid nightmares that haunt her.

She turns and picks up her phone checking her emails and looks through her photos. She sees a picture of her, Deeks and Monty at the beach and smiles at the memory of trying to take that photo. Kensi had went with Deeks to the beach one early morning and when Deeks had suggested the photo just as they were about to take it Monty decided to sniff the camera.

She clicked on Deeks name and hovered over the call button unsure wether she should or not. After 5 minutes of deciding she finally presses the call button. He answers the phone on the second ring.

"Hello" He speaks with a raspy voice.

"Deeks"

"Kensi, Are you ok? Where are you?" He's soon awake and on alert. He looks to the clock and sees it very early in the morning.

"Umm I'm at home and I had a um ..." She doesn't get to finish her sentence as he interrupts.

"I'm on my way" Deeks understands whats happened by her unspoken words. He already understands how hard it must have been for her to stop questioning and contemplating for her to call him.

"OK" She doesn't know what to say. She ends the call and decides to wait for him in living room.

He must have broke every speed rule in book because she hears knocking on her door 10 minutes later. She opened the door for him and then locked it behind him.

He followed Kensi to the sofa and sat beside her. He turned and looked towards her and could tell she had been crying at some point and he could see she was fighting her tired eyes.

"Come on" He stood and pulled her towards the bedroom gently. They got into her bed and Kensi curled up to Deeks. Her head lay on his chest, her fingers clutched his shirt tightly and her wrapped his arm around her shoulders holding her tightly against him. Her body starts to shake and he feels a wetness through his shirt. His Kensi, Badass Blye, Kickass Kensi is crying and he hates it. He rocks them lightly and rubs a soothing hand up and down her back.

Soon her crying stops and he thinks she cried her self to sleep.

"I had a nightmare." She states simply.

"How often do you have them"

"Sometimes I have one every night sometimes I only have a few aw week but once I have one I cant go back to sleep" She admits. She feels so weak right now and she hates it.

"What are the nightmares about"

"I have two different ones. In the first one I'm tied up in a cave and they beat me but your there as well and they make me watch you get the worse of the beating. Until they beat you to death and thats when I wake up. The second one is where the whole team is tied up. We are in a circle all tied up to a chair and the captors make me watch as they beat you all and then they shoot you all, the I wake up. I can't even do anything in the nightmares and I don't now how to get rid off the dreams." She cries.

"Hey, these things take time to get over. Let me help you please. All you have to do is let me in Kens" He kisses the top of her head and rubs soothing patterns on her back. They both fall asleep and no nightmares appear for the rest on the night.


He wakes up to the sun rising through the blinds illuminating the room. He looked down to his chest and saw a pair of mismatched eyes staring up at him. She was still cuddled against him and her hand still clutched his shirt.

"You know thats kind of creepy watching me sleep" Deeks mumbled smiling at her. She smiled and buried her face in his shoulder.

"Thank you for coming round last night. Thats the first time I haven't had another nightmare after the first one" She admitted.

"Kens I will always come around for you not matter what time of day it is. Just let me help you through your nightmares"

"OK"

"Pinky promise you will let me help you" Deeks asked like a little kid. He stuck his pinkie out towards her. She hooked her pinkie around his while laughing at his antics. She leaned up and connected their lips. Deeks froze in surprise but before Kensi could pull back he kissed her back. She pulled back, smiled at him and got off the bed "Come on we have work"

He shook his head. She always like to keep him on his toes.
