I wrote this before I saw the finale. I hope you like it. This is after the hospital after Renko died.
Kensi stood in the shooting rang. She emptied her clip then reloaded then emptied the clip again. She did this three times before she heard the door open. She expected to see Deeks in the doorway. She was only mildly surprised when Nate was looking back at her.
She took off the earphones and glasses and set them on the table. He leaned against the wall.
"What happened today?" Nate asked.
"I got an agent shot. That's what happened." Kensi said quite but angry.
"Kensi you didn't GET him shot, he was just shot. Why do you think it's your fault? Because you hesitated?"
"That's the thing. I didn't hesitate." Kensi said turning around to look at Nate. "I pulled the trigger but nothing happened."
"Your gun jammed. It happens." Nate said.
"You don't understand." Kensi said angrily.
"Then explain it to me." Nate said calmly.
"I was cleaning my gun this morning like I always do." Kensi paused. Nate could tell she was leaving something out. "I got…distracted. I didn't clean it properly and it jammed."
"What do you mean you got distracted?" Nate asked, waiting for Kensi to say it out loud.
"Something happened, on our last case." Kensi said.
"Between you and Deeks."
"How did you know?"
"Please. I'm the best profiler in the entire country. Plus anyone with eyes can tell you two are meant to be together. We were all just waiting for you two to figure it out. What exactly happened?"
Kensi retold the story of the bathroom. "Then he bandaged my foot and we, well, we kind of had sex."
There was silence for a moment.
"Finally." Nate said.
"No. Not finally this messes everything up. We can't be together."
"Why not?"
"Because…" Kensi said trying to find an answer.
"Try again."
"Because he is my partner. It's against the rules."
"The rules state that no NCIS agents can work together is they are together. It doesn't say anything about LAPD."
"That's a technicality and you know it."
"Why are you pushing so hard Kensi? You love him don't you?" Nate asked.
"Lets say we do get together. We tell Hetty and she assigns new partners because we can't be together personally and professionally. So now Deeks is out there with Sam who gets on his nerves, or Callon who, lets face it, only really works well with Sam, or worse someone we don't even know. Now every time I'm on the job all I can think about is Deeks and worrying if he is safe or not because the man I love is out there shooting at people and I'm not there to have his BACK!" Kensi was getting louder. "Now let say that something happens to him and I lose him just like I lost every other man in my life. How am I supposed to deal with that? I can't do it Nate. I'm not strong enough. I can't open my self up to be hurt like that again."
Kensi was on the verge of tears and Nate steps up to give her a hug. Kensi hugs Nate back.
"You're stronger then you know Kens. You can do this." Nate said.
"What if I lose him?"
"You wont."
Kensi Pulled away to look at Nate. "You can't make those kind of guarantees in this job. Look at Dom, Renko."
"Your right but isn't one day with the man you love worth it. You and Deeks have an amazing story ahead of you. You just have to let it unfold. Your story doesn't have a tragic ending. It's not possible."
I always loved Nate. I hope you guys liked it. What did you think of the finale? Amazing right? Not as much Densi as I would have hoped but still good. Please Review.
