17. I love how you can always make me feels better
Cooking has never been his thing. He never tried to deny it, either. There's something about all the pots and different spices that confuse him. The only thing he can cook is awesome vegetable lasagna.
So he should have stick with that. Kensi loves it, anyway. But he wanted to try something new.
Kensi went to see her mother and he wanted to surprise her with a nice home-made dinner when she got home, probably tired from the drive. He searched for a good recipe, printed it, bought all the ingredients necessary and started following the instructions.
However, things hadn't gone exactly as he had originally planned. And now, the whole house smelled like burned food.
He hears Kensi's car entering the garage and she is opening the door that leads to the kitchen less than a minute later. She looks worn out and he pecks her lips as soon as she enters the house. She smiles at him but that smile turns into a frown.
"What did you do?"
Deeks gives her his best innocent smile. "What are you talking about, sweetie?"
Kensi gives him that look that tells him she's not falling for his bullshit and tries again. "Marty, the house smells like burned food."
Deeks sighs and gives in. "I tried to cook, okay? You can mock me all you want now."
Kensi lets out a laugh and Deeks shakes his head, walking to the sink and starting to wash the pot. Kensi realizes that she hurt him without wanting to and stops laughing, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his back.
"Deeks, I wasn't going to mock you. Besides, if you really want to cook we can make a deal. Today we order some Chinese food and tomorrow you can cook that lasagna I love so much. Do we have a deal?"
Deeks turns in her arms to face her and smiles at her. "Sure, we have a deal."
Kensi smiles and he connects their lips in a soft gentle kiss. When he pulls back, the burned dinner is the last thing on his mind. "Go and have a nice relaxing shower. I'll order us both dinner."
Kensi kisses his cheek and walks to the bathroom.
She always knows what to do or say to make him feel better.
