Prompt: I would love it if you could do a story on everyone's reactions when they find out Deeks and Kensi are finally dating back in season 6. I remember Callen naming in order everyone who found one by one. It was so funny.

A/N: So this takes a couple months after "Humbug".


"So how was everyone's weekend?" Kensi asked as she sat down behind her desk. She seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood that couldn't be completely explained by the sunny day and the large cup of coffee she carried.

"Good," Callen said vaguely. Rolling his eyes at him, Sam offered

"Michelle and I took the kids hiking." He glanced across the room at his partner, suggesting that that was the proper way to spend a weekend. "What about you, Kensi?"

"Very nice. I spent a lot of time with a friend," she replied, unable to hide a slight blush.

"Ooh, a friend," Sam teased, his dimples showing. "Did this friend happen to be of the male variety?"

"Definitely male," Callen decided. "I haven't seen Kensi blush that much…ever." Fortunately, Deeks walked in, whistling a cheery tune. He swung his bag onto his desk and greeted everyone cheerfully.

"You seem to be in an exceptionally good mood," Callen commented.

"Maybe that's because I had an exceptionally good weekend," Deeks said, flashing a bright smile.

"Doing what?"

"Exercising." He winked at Kensi, his grin playful.

"You're this happy from exercising?" Sam asked, eyeing him dubiously.

"Yeah, it was very…invigorating," he said, glancing at Kensi again who narrowed her eyes at him. She stood up abruptly.

"That reminds me, you owe me a sparring match." Deeks followed her with surprisingly little complaint. As they left the bullpen, Callen watched them with narrowed eyes and then shook his head, chuckling.

"I can't believe it, they actually did it," he murmured to himself.

"Did what?" Sam asked distractedly as he looked down at his computer.

"They're together." He nodded towards the empty hallway.

"Kensi and Deeks? No." Sam chuckled. "No way. We'd know for sure if they were."

"You don't think all that talk about friends and exercising wasn't obvious enough?" Callen asked. When Sam continued to look dubious, he held up a hand and started ticking off points. "Ok, to start with, ever since Christmas they've been coming in at staggered times. They used to come in together all the time and never said a thing. They keep making pointed comments about their 'extracurricular activities', but neither of them seems jealous. Don't you think that's a little strange? I mean, Kensi usually gets jealous if a woman even thinks about touching Deeks."

"Maybe…" Sam said, still sounding a little unsure.

"And, I heard them making plans on Friday to spend the weekend together. They clearly didn't realize I could hear them. Some of the comments were…let's just say, suggestive."

"Damn." Sam said, sounding a little stunned. "That means I lost the pool. I can't believe I didn't see it." Callen shrugged, but seemed pleased that been the first to catch on. "How long has this been going on for?"

"Mm, I'd say around Christmas. Oh, did I forget to mention I saw them kissing out on the ice rink?" Callen added.

"You could have led with that, you know," Sam said irritably. He shook his head again, then glanced down the hall. "I just hope it doesn't distract them."


"Ok, I have some things to take to the burn room," Nell told Eric, holding a stack of files. "I'll be back in a few." A few minutes later, she balanced the files on her hip as she reached out for the doorknob.

"Deeks!" Nell jerked back in shock at the sound of Kensi's voice, half sigh, half admonishment. She stared at the door, barely breathing as Deeks responded.

"Sorry, I told you before I'm very sensitive there." There was a noise that Nell very much hoped was just a kiss. After what seemed like a ridiculously long amount of time, he whispered, panting in between words,

"I thought, we agree-oh, you are so evil-not to do this at work."

"It's your fault for wearing those jeans," Kensi said. There was a faint crashing sound-Nell hoped it wasn't anything breakable. "Oh my god, you're so ha–"

"Ok, and it's time for me to go," she muttered, giving herself a shake. Filled with a mixture of morbid curiosity and horror, she turned around and quickly started back down the hallway. Nell sincerely hoped she would be able to get the sound of their moans out of her head.

"Hey, I thought you were going to the burn room," Eric said, passing her on the stairs. He was holding his tablet and seems headed for the bullpen.

"Um, yeah, but…something else came up." She looped a hand around Eric's elbow and pulled him in the opposite direction. He didn't protest or ask what she was doing, which was good, because she had no idea what to say.

Half an hour later, when Kensi and Deeks finally showed up, looking remarkably put together but suspiciously chipper, she eyed them knowingly. Now that she wasn't faced with the possibility of hearing something obscene, she found it somewhat amusing, and intriguing.

She also realized that both Kensi and Deeks had been way happier and ease the last couple months. She should have realized what was going on.


Hetty held back a smirk as she watched Kensi and Deeks walk into the bullpen holding hands. They were the first to arrive and clearly didn't realize they were being observed.

Hetty had known something changed in their relationship the moment they returned from their shortened Christmas leave. Despite their best efforts to be discreet, it was obvious; there was a glow about them both.

Not to mention the fact that they kept trying to pretend they weren't spending time together. She saw Kensi squeeze Deeks' hand and then they separated, only then remembering to glance around them.

Hetty lowered her head before they noticed her. Apparently it hadn't occurred to either of them, that the lack of physical contact was completely abnormal for them.

Holding back a sigh, she prayed that it wouldn't interfere with their partnership, or their work. So far it hadn't, but only time would tell. For now though, she intended to enjoy watching them squirm.

She would never understand how her very best undercover agents could be such deplorable liars when it came to their personal lives.


"You know, I think I heard Sam say he was going in there," Eric said, stepping in front of the men's locker room door, effectively blocking Nell. She frowned at him and he smiled back, like it was a perfectly normal thing to do.

"You're acting weird," she said, narrowing her eyes.

"No I'm not," he insisted, swallowing harshly under the force of her glare. "I just don't want you to walk in on Sam changing. Or anything else." As he said the last part, he had to hold back a shudder.

He'd been trying to locate Kensi and Deeks. They weren't responding to his texts and as a last resort, he had checked the locker room camera. It was set to record, but they rarely used it for obvious reasons. He wasn't even sure the team remembered it was there half the time.

Which would explain why when he'd checked the camera feed, he'd found Kensi and Deeks in the middle of a heavy make out session. There were some things you could never unsee. He held back another shudder.

"Is there something going on in there that I should know about?" Nell asked.

"No. No, believe me, you do not want to see what's going on in there," he said firmly. Rolling her eyes, Nell tossed her head back briefly and sighed.

"Please tell me Kensi and Deeks aren't making out in there too?"

"No, of course no…wait, what do you mean in there too?" He stared at Nell, partially relieved that he didn't have to keep this a secret from her and partially offended that she hadn't told him before this. "How long have you known?"

Nell shrugged.

"Mm, maybe a couple weeks," she said, then stared at the door, making an exasperated sound. "Seriously thought they would have more discretion than this."

"This is Kensi and Deeks we're talking about," he reminded her. "So what do we do if someone asks where they are or if tries to use the locker room?" Eric asked as they walked back to OPS.

"Try redirection and if that doesn't work, pretend we don't know anything." Nell decided.

"I'm happy for them," Eric said after a couple minutes. "You know, aside from the part where I had to see Deeks shoving Kensi against a wall and ripping her shirt off."


"Do you think they realize everyone in this building knows they're together?" Callen asked a few weeks later as Kensi and Deeks left at the end of the day. They'd made up some ridiculous and totally unnecessary excuse for why they were leaving together, exuding an almost unbearable amount of sexual tension.

"I doubt it," Nell said, then added, "And it's not quite everybody. What about the motor pool and Granger?" Callen nodded.

"I'll give you Granger, but not the motor pool."

"How did they find out?" Sam asked.

"Apparently Stewart overheard them planning a weekend getaway. It spread from there."

"Unbelievable." Sam shook his head. "They couldn't keep it a secret for even two months."

"Oh, they're young. Let them enjoy themselves," Hetty said, coming up behind them suddenly.

"You're blasé attitude wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you won the office pool, would it?" Callen asked shrewdly.

"Perhaps."

"I was so close," Eric said sadly and Nell patted him on the shoulder.

"Cheer up, we always have babies to bet on next." There was a series of groans as they walked out together.


A/N: I don't know if there's any situation in which a camera would be allowed in a locker room, for obvious reasons. But it worked for this scenario.
