This is just a series of short conversations between Kensi and Deeks, one for each episode of season 5.

I don't own any part of NCIS:LA or it's characters. It's probably a good thing too, cause they'd be a lot naughtier.


"No no no, I don't know, what are you doing?!"

The sound of her partner moaning in his sleep rouses Kensi from her light snoozing. She takes a second to look around. The TV is still on and they're still lying on his couch. Their half eaten dinner and unopened beers are sitting on his coffee table. Deeks whimpers in her right ear and she sits up, gently rubbing his shoulder. "Hey, hey, it's okay. Wake up, it's just a dream."

Deeks blinks his eyes and stares at her, confused. "Hi. Uh, did I fall asleep? Sorry, I don't know how that happened," he said, yawning. "I haven't slept like that in weeks. Did you put something in my food?" He closes his eyes again, hoping she doesn't notice the look of panic that's starting to show in them.

She smiles sleepily at him and tugs on his arm. "Come on, let's get you to bed."

"Wow, I must be dreaming still."

"Hush," Kensi growls and follows him to his bedroom. Unlike the rest of his apartment, it is spotless, as if he hasn't been in his bed for weeks. Deeks pulls back his covers and climbs in to bed. He stares at Kensi and she knows that he's trying to tell her thank you with his gaze. She feels the need to tuck him in securely and returns a gentle look down at him.

"Kens?"

"Yeah?"

"Stay? Just tonight."

"Okay."
