Prompt: Could you do an alternate ending of the season 7 episode, Citadel where Kensi has a different reaction after witnessing Talia kissing Deeks Right in Front of Her?

A/N: Ok, this was a tricky one because I try not to write a certain type of jealous Kensi. Especially once she and Deeks are together. Plus, I didn't want to pit Kensi and Talia against each other. Hopefully, it's still ok.

"What are you doing?" Deeks asked, as Talia wrapped her arms around him and then kissed him. Kensi's mouth dropped open in astonishment and Deeks made a surprised sound. He didn't seem to be enjoying himself. "Ok, alright, that, yeah." He grimaced as Talia smacked his butt. "That just happened."

"Hey," Kensi objected, putting a protective hand over Deeks' arm as Talia took a step back, apparently to better observe her handiwork. "What the hell was that?" Talia shrugged, looking amused by her reaction.

"Don't worry, Kensi, I'm not trying to steal your boyfriend," she assured her with a roll of her eyes. Deeks appeared fairly relieved and just shook her his head at Talia's antics.

"I wasn't worried that you were." Kensi took a step closer to Talia and she heard Deeks make a sound that she interpreted as a hastily stifled objection. When she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, he was scratching at the back of his head, lips pressed tightly together. She turned her attention back to Talia. "That doesn't mean it's ok for you to kiss him."

"Please, I've done so much worse in name of the job."

"But this wasn't on the job," Kensi said, keeping her voice even and not too emotional."

"Ok, so I've been wondering what it would be like since I met Deeks a couple years ago," Talia admitted, smirking. She turned to Deeks and added, "It wasn't bad by the way, but maybe a little stiff. I'd give it a seven. Maybe put in a bit more effort next time."

"Ok, then," Deeks said, raising an eyebrow. He appeared vaguely bemused by the whole situation.

"Hey, there is not going to be another time," Kensi said firmly and Talia laughed again.

"And there's the main reason I kissed him. I was dying to see your reaction. You've always been so possessive. I'm honestly a little surprised by the lack of cat claws."

Kensi chuckled now and took another step toward Talia.

"I could definitely pull out the cat claws and kick your ass, but I actually like you when you're not being a jerk. And, I actually have an ounce of self-control, so no, I'm not going to fight you."

"Um, do I get to have a say here?" Deeks asked mildly, looking between the two women.

"No," they both said together and he nodded, apparently not having expected much different.

"Ok, um, well then I'm going to go over there." He jerked his thumb behind him and when neither of them responded, wandered off to talk to a cop he recognized.

"You definitely have him wrapped around your finger," Talia observed.

"Listen, I meant what I said," Kensi started. "I don't want to fight with you anymore and I'm not jealous of you." It was true, she had complete faith in Deeks and she was no longer the same woman, competing for his affection. "But that doesn't mean I'm going stand and watch while you paw Deeks."

"Noted." Talia crossed her arms and smirked. "I have to admit, I'm a little sad. I liked sparring with you. And now apparently I can't have either of you." She shook her head in mock disappointment.

Talia brushed Kensi's arm as she walked away, a definite sway to her hips.

"Unbelievable," Kensi muttered. As she drew even with Deeks, she paused to say something and then smacked his butt again before she started walking once more.

"Somebody call Human Resources!" she shouted. Deeks wandered back over, still looking a little bemused.

"Classy," Kensi observed, then took a deep breath before turning to Deeks. "Dinner?"

After they made plans, Kensi linked her arm through Deeks and said in a completely cheerful tone,

"By the way, if she ever kisses you again, outside of a case, I will rip her face off." Deeks grinned and squeezed her hand.

"There's my girl."

A/N: I kind of used and rearranged some things from the actual scene to suit my purpose.
