A/N - This was done for BlueEyes444 Drabble challenge in the Rabid Plot Bunny forums. Thought I'd throw it out here and see what you thought. For those looking for just a little writing challenge, head on over and join in. It's just started but was a lot of fun.
Challenge was to write a short drabble with the following prompt and pairing.
Pairing: Nate/Kensi
Prompt: Hate
Disclaimer - Don't own anything you recognise, just doing it for fun.

Kensi glowered at Nate. After less than a minute Nate looked up, lifted an eyebrow and asked, "What did I do?"
"I hate you."
Nate put down the graphic novel he'd been reading during some down time between cases and then focused on Kensi.
"Why? The psych evals?"
"I hate it when you get inside my head."
"It's my job."
Kensi's glare got darker, if that was at all possible. "Then stop being so damn good at it."
Nate grinned at that, though with a lift of Kensi's eyebrows, it dropped quickly. "What can I say, the mind is an interesting place."
"Stop it!" Kensi said.
"What?" Nate asked innocently.
"You're doing it again, trying to get into my head."
"Would you prefer I try and get into your heart?"
Kensi opened her mouth but nothing came out. Nate raised an eyebrow and continued. It wasn't often that Kensi was speechless.
"The heart is much less complicated than the mind. Less chaotic. With the heart you either feel something or you don't. It's only when the brain interferes that things get complicated and chaos reigns."
Kensi shook herself to help bring herself back to the conversation. "Are you calling me chaotic?" Kensi avoided mentioning anything heart related.
"No," Nate shook his head. "I'm just saying the mind can be rather chaotic, where as in the heart it is simple."
Kensi shook hers. "I could really hate you."
"But you don't, do you?"
"Keep trying to get into my head and things might change."
Nate grinned and Kensi couldn't help smiling back at him.
