Prompt: 5 from the OTP Drabble Challenge: "Don't yell at me like I'm a child!" - "DON'T THROW SCISSORS!"


"Hey, do you have any scissors?" Kensi asked as she waded through her absolute disaster of a desk, pushing a pile of stuff to the side and back again in search for her absentee scissors.

"Maybe if you cleaned your desk once in a while, you would know where your scissors are," Deeks suggested. Kensi took a moment to glare at him.

"Do you have a pair or not?"

"Sure." She held out her hand, expecting Deeks to walk them over. A few seconds later there was a clatter and she followed the noise to behind her desk where Deeks' black handled scissors where spinning in a slow circle.

"Did you just throw those at me?" she asked with a shocked expression. Deeks scratched idly at his beard.

"Huh, I was sure you'd catch them."

"Deeks! What were you thinking?"

"Don't yell at me like I'm a child!" Deeks protested.

"DON'T THROW SCISSORS!" Kensi returned, shaking her head in disbelief. "We have a rule about this."

"No," Deeks corrected her. "That's for not running with scissors."

"It amazes me that you two need rules for scissors at all," Sam said from beside Deeks. Up until now, their partners had remained silent and Deeks had honestly forgotten they were there for the most part.

"Excuse me, this is a discussion between me and my partner."

"Which everyone can hear," Callen said with a sigh.

"Just stop throwing scissors," Kensi said, bending down to retrieve them. Deeks narrowed his eyes at her and then declared,

"You're just bugged because you didn't catch them." Kensi gasped as stood back up.

"I am not!" He just grinned at her, which only increased her obvious annoyance. Marching over to him, she slapped the scissors into his hand, handles first. "Throw them again."

"Kensi, you're being ridiculous," Callen said and she jabbed her finger at him.

"Butt out of this." He sighed as Deeks prepared to throw, flexing his arms dramatically.

"You sure about this?" he asked, seeming a little less enthusiastic now.

"Just throw them, Deeks."

"I'll have Eric get an ambulance on standby," Callen said resignedly.
