Because another scenario popped into my head.
"She's stunning, isn't she?"
It's not the first time he gets caught staring, and it certainly won't be the last. "Breathtaking."
Devin turns his attention away from his new teammate and looks at the blonde haired man who he can only assume is the other teammate he has yet to meet. "So how long have you two been working together?"
"Just about 10 years now." A dreamy filled look crosses his face as his mind wanders back to the beautiful day when she walked into that MMA gym.
"So what's stopping you from going for it?"
"I don't know."
"Why don't you go for it? I mean life is too short, right?"
Deeks nods, trying to pump himself up. "Yeah, I think I'm gonna go for it."
"Are you sure, man?" The new agent questions as he watches the blonde man nervously.
Deeks doesn't answer the younger man before he starts walking towards the brunette beauty. He takes one step at a time until his feet touch the first landing.
She steps down from the next set of steps right in front of him, bringing him to a hault. She gives him a soft smile when he stops in front of her. Her brow furrows in confusion though when she sees the determination set in his eyes and he leans in closer, bringing his lips to hers.
He can tell she's caught a bit off guard when his lips land on hers but in a split second she responds with favor.
She pulls back first with a heavy sigh. Damn that man and his wicked tongue. "What are you doing?"
"Messing with the new kid."
They both turn to see a shocked FBI agent staring up at them from the bullpen.
Kensi shakes her head at her goof of a husband and grabs his hand, dragging him down the steps once again.
Devin's stupefied as he watches them walk over to him. Clearly he needs lessons from this shaggy blonde. "Wow, man, does that always work for you?"
"Yeah, pretty much. Especially with Kensi here. She has a weakness for the Deeks." He cringes as her fingers close over the skin of his love handle, pinching him.
"Devin, I'd like to to meet my partner, LAPD Detective Marty Deeks."
"Do you kiss all your partners like that?"
She can't help but smile when she turns to her husband and sees the goofy grin plastered to his face. "Ones that are my husband, yes."
A look crosses over the young agents face when he realizes that he's been had. "So earlier-"
"Yeah, I was just messing with you."
Devin laughs, stretching out his hand to officially introduce himself to the detective. "Devin Roundtree."
"Nice to meet you man. But if you ever talk about my wife's looks again, it's not gonna be pretty."
His face turns pale as he looks back and forth between the partners.
She pinches his side again and shakes her head. But when she turns her attention back to their new teammate, she can't hold back her laughter at the deer caught in headlights look that crosses his features. "He's just messing with you."
Deeks huffs out a laugh right along side her, confirming that what she said is true.
She watches on as her husband throws his arm over the newbie's shoulders and begin their retreat to ops. Oh, this is gonna be fun.
