AN: The solution to chapter one.

"...Wow." Deeks gapes from his desk in the bullpen as Kensi he sees Kensi in her undercover- attire on the screen in OPS.

"Deeks, close your mouth you look like a fool." Sam says as he watches Deeks openly ogle his partner.

"Not possible Sam. I think he's got the hot's for his partner."

"Well Callen, if your partner was as hot as mine, you would be gaping like a fool too." Deeks replies before he could stop himself.

"What?" Callen and Sam ask at the same time.

"...Did you just say?" Sam asks.

"Look at Kensi. This dress-shirt is not low cut or overly tight and she looks just...umm...hot." Deeks fumbles and blushes when he realizes what he just said.

"So you admit it?" Sam asks as he smirks at the younger man for that little confession.

"Admit what?" Deeks asks genuinely confused.

"That you're into her." Callen says looking at his partner who is shaking his head smiling.

"Just because I say she looks good-" Deeks replies trying to get in control of the conversations direction.

"You said hot." Callen interrupts with his own smug smirk.

"Okay, hot. You're just jealous of the hotness of my partner." Deeks admits with one of his signature cocky smirks.

"So you mean I'm not hot?" Sam asks.

"I can't be the judge of that. You're a guy and I'm straight-" Deeks looks between Callen and Sam.

"-As your comment about Kensi proved?" Callen replies cutting Deeks sentence short.

"I know it's a caveman like possessive style. But yeah, I'll take this as my defense and you're also married." Deeks defends himself.

"Which proves that he is hot too." Callen replies.

"What?" Sam's head whips around to look at his partner with a puzzled and slightly shocked expression.

"Yeah, what?" Deeks asks also grinning at what was just implied.

"I mean you have to know that Sam's wife wouldn't have married him for his humor or wits. Also he's not that bad looking either. I'll have you know, I have seen him in...what?" Callen asks as he notices the strange looks that Deeks and Sam are giving him.

"You've got the hot's for your partner!" Deeks exclaimed excitedly, as he starts laughing hysterically.

"No, I mean, Michelle...come on, help me out a little here, Sam." Callen says looking completely embarrassed about how this conversation turned on him.

"I'm not going to say anything. This hole you're digging yourself gets deeper with every word you speak." Sam replies as turns around to leave.

"Sam? Deeks stop laughing and get off the floor. Sam, wait up, I didn't mean...come on, and you know I'm straight... Sam?" Callen calls after the retreating form of his partner.
