The team was sitting at the table, contemplating where to go with this case. G was watching Kensi closely, she seemed to be paying attention, but every now and then it looked like she was in pain. He saw her reach out for the water but once her hand was extended he saw her freeze and she held her breath. Slowly pulling her arm back she sat there and he could tell she was trying not to move.
'Kensi, are you ok?'
He said, interrupting Sam. Everyone looked at her and he saw the blush creeping up her neck. Glaring at him she said sourly
'Yes G, I'm fine'
Standing up she walked away briskly. Everyone stared at G for a second, and then Sam said
'What was that?'
He sighed and nodded towards the door
'I'll go fix it'
Kensi was sick of being the only girl. The guys just didn't understand, she was sure she was going to have to crawl in a hole and die because of the cramps. They usually weren't this bad, but it was embarrassing to ask for a sick day. Leaning against the wall in the long dark hallway she accidently let a tear slip. It had been a long week, she had little sleep and the cases were frustrating her. Sighing she realized that the only reason she was crying was because of the lack of sleep. Hearing footsteps she tensed up and looked to where the sound was coming from. Seeing G peek around the corner she quickly looked away to wipe her eyes. Before she knew it he was sitting beside her, pulling her closer.
'G, I'm sorry-'
He cut her off
'Hey, no need to be sorry, I was just coming to see if you are ok'
She felt another tear fall and looked up to him. He was the only person in the building who she trusted enough to cry in fount of, she trusted him with her life. Leaning her head on his chest she sighed and said
'Life sucks'
She felt him smile and say
'I know Kenz, I know'
It was silent, except for the rain constantly pounding the roof.
G could feel her tears soaking through his shirt. He wished he could help her, but things needed to run their course, like Hetty said, time heals all wounds. He wished ways were different, but they were not.
'Do you think I'm weak for crying?'
He was surprised by her question but answered honestly
'Kensi, sometimes crying makes you feel better. I would never think of you as weak and no one is around, so as long as you feel better after you can do whatever you want'
He pulled her closer and she curled into his chest. It was silent for a while again until she sneezed and immediately put her hand to her stomach.
'Is it bad if I overdose on Advil? Because I'm sure that would be better than this'
He smiled. He wanted to take this all away, to make her better, so he said
'I have an idea, follow me'
He led her to an old office that had a couch, a big TV, a big bed and a mini fridge. She had never been to this end of the building before because it kind of creeped her out. Sitting her down on the couch he said
'This is where I come when I have no where else to go. Hetty set it up for me'
Opening the fridge he tossed her a spoon and proceeded to take out a tub of ice cream. Sitting next to her he said
'I watch a lot of movies'
She smiled and leaned against the back of the couch. He knew she needed to forget about everything for a while, to clear her mind, and this is what he did when he needed a break. She took a spoonful and sighed when she put it in her mouth.
'Thanks G'
She said with ice cream in her mouth. He sat closer to her and pulled the blanket over her legs. He saw her close her eyes and lean her head on the back of the couch. He knew she had a long week and was probably sleep deprived.
'How about a movie?'
Nodding he put a DVD in the player and flicked the TV on.
'Wont the guys wonder?'
He shrugged. The only thing he cared about now was Kensi.
'Does it matter?'
He laid an arm over her shoulder and pulled her closer. She did not resist, and when she was close enough he could feel her body heat melting into him. He knew he shouldn't do this, should refrain from getting so close, but he knew he cared more for Kensi than he should have. Realizing he had thought of this for quite a while he looked over to see Kensi's sleeping figure next to him. Smiling he snuggled down and pulled the blanket up over her shoulder.
'Night Kenz'
He whispered.
Feeling a tap on his shoulder G slowly opened his eyes to see Hetty standing next to him. He tried to sit up but realized that there was weight on his chest. Looking down Kensi was on top of him, sleeping deeply.
'Mr Callen'
She said softly but sternly
'Mhm?'
He said laying his head back on the pillow
'Ms Blye's landlord called to say she never came home. But I now see that you have… occupied her time'
He smiled and said
'Well, we were watching a movie-'
She cut him off
'I do not care as long as you do not hurt her. Anything against her feelings and you will no longer have a job. Is that understood?'
He nodded and heard the click of Hetty's heels as she walked out. he had no intention of that happening, he would keep her close as long as he could, forever would be nice though.
