Prompt from anon - "Really, Deeks? Really?!"


"Really, Deeks? Really?!"

"It's not for you. You do know that, right?"

"I know that! I'm not an idiot."

"I'm just making sure."

"In what universe would I think you were actually going to propose to me?"

"I don't know. You just got really excited when you saw the ring."

"Because it's exciting! You're going to propose and Kensi has no idea and it's going to be awesome!"

"Shhhhh! Take it down a notch. I don't want everyone in LA to hear you."

Deeks had dragged Nell into the burn room the first chance he got. She started squealing as soon as she saw the black velvet box he pulled out of his pocket. She had to cover her mouth when he opened it to show her the ring inside (although that didn't stop her from expressing her enthusiasm).

"Seriously, Deeks, you did a great job picking this out. Kensi's going to love it."

Deeks looked down at the ring, his brow furrowed.

"Deeks? You alright?"

"Yeah… Of course… I'm fine. I mean, this is really happening. I really bought this ring and I'm going to ask her to marry me. She'll be happy… right?"

The reality of this situation was settling on him and his excitement was turning into nervousness. Nell smiled and touched his arm.

"She'll be happy because you make her happy and because she loves you and because you two are perfect for each other."

"You think so?"

"I know so. Trust me, I have the highest IQ in this place."

"Don't let Eric hear you say that."

"Eric knows I'm smarter even if he'll never admit it."

Deeks laughed. "Well, thanks, Velma. If she says yes, I might even ask you to be my best man."

"She will say yes, and it's best woman, Shaggy. And don't you even joke about that because I won't let you can't take it back!"
