TITLE- MORE THAN PATNERS

SUMMARY- Post 5x09 AU version.

Rated- K

She was his girlfriend and he was her boyfriend. That was confirmed last night. Lat night, things changed between them and so the morning after changed as well. They become more than partners.

For the two people who suck at communication they sure did talk. It's not as if they don't talk, it's just they hadn't talked about their thing. But last night they talked about their thing-the dance they had been doing since they first meet. They confessed that they were attracted to each other the first time they met. Well it was an understatement, wasn't it? They both even chuckled about it after they said this. Last night was the first time Kensi actually told Deeks that they were more than partners. He had wanted to hear that for years and now after all the waiting, he realized it was well worth the wait.

Truth to be told, it felt amazing how a single thing can mean so much. Deeks is known for his talking and that he doesn't shut up but last night he swears he hardly said more than a few sentences because last night it was Kensi's turn to open up. To talk about how she feels. To pour out her heart to him.

Deeks had already conveyed what he felt for her. The importance she held in his life. He said that it was the presence of her in his life that gave him the strength to endure the torture. Her smile, laughter, jackass jokes, her everything helped him. He would never forget that it was her voice that made him feel safe and allowed him a proper night's sleep after he hadn't sleep well for months.

It was her presence, the faith and trust he has in her and the acknowledgement that she was laying next to him that kept his nightmares at bay. It was for her, for being with her that gave him the strength to fight his demons and to come back to work and to her. He knows that she knows that she was the sole reason of his returning to work. He even said it in front of whole team that he will go wherever Kensi goes. Because that is how they roll. He accepted the fact long ago that there is no meaning to his life if Kensi is not in it. She is his everything.

It was Kensi's turn to speak, and she did! But was it possible that they have a serious talk about their thing and not crack a joke or say something witty? Nope, not possible. So instead of saying that there is a thing between them, the first thing she said was that this is the first and last time she would be talking about their thing because she has terrible communication skills and she hates talking about their thing. God only knows how hard it was to control his laughter but he did chuckled, how couldn't he? They always joked about their thing and when they were going to talk about their thing, they joked first. They will never change and to be honest he want either of them to change. They are perfect just the way they are. So she finally said it; she wanted him. She wanted their thing to work out. Yes there was a thing. There always had been and always will be. She wanted their thing to work in a right way. She wanted them; she wanted Deeks and Kensi together, as one.

That was the reason she got up from her chair and went outside the restaurant when Deeks said that he wanted to be with her at his place. Yeah she thought about it for a second. She thought that maybe this was too early or maybe it's now or never. After losing Deeks once because of the Sidorov's incident she couldn't lose him again. After thinking for a second, which actually felt like years to him, she got up and started walking out thinking that he will get the clue and follow her and he did. Thank goodness.

It wasn't as if they talked last night; no last night everything changed, they changed. From Deeks and Kensi they became Densi. Yeah he loved this name. The name Callen gave them and it was perfect. Deeks and Kensi equals to Densi. It sounded so cheesy.

They kissed. Yeah finally after one cover kiss and one terrible communication skills kiss, they finally kissed each other and this time it was done properly. It was amazing. Actually it was more than amazing. It was different from their last two kisses. It wasn't short; it was one hell of a long, deep kiss. And it had all. Love, passion, heat, desire, lust, hunger and the cravings they had for each other since the first time their eyes met. At first it was soft, gentle kissing each other, taking in the feel of each other's lips. But then the heat, passion, desire and lust took over their love and then the kissing started getting heated and they poured out their hearts in the kiss, conveying their feelings towards each other without saying a word. It was perfect and mind blowing. They were blown away by that kiss. They themselves didn't know from where all those feeling and emotions came, it was even new to them.

He knows that he will remember that kiss till the last breath of his life and so does she. And when they broke apart, they just stood there; foreheads touching, each other and he swore that the only thing he saw in her brown orbs was pure love which is also reflected in his baby blues. They still couldn't believe that this was happening to them. They asked themselves when did they get so lucky.

Then she moved her hand and rubbed her palm against his scurfy jaw. He had always loved her touch but recently he had craved it. Her warm, smooth skin making contact with his skin is all he wanted. Knowingly unknowingly they were constantly touching each other. Little brushes of their hands, bumping shoulders with, slapping each other on their hips, her punching him on small things. These were all their means of touching each other. The fact was they both couldn't keep their hands off each other.

They kissed each other last night, not once or twice but endless times, making up for their desires for past four years. The only thing they didn't do last night was make love. Well the sole reason behind that was because they wanted to take things one step at a time. They didn't want to be rushed into something. He was aware of her fears and his PTSD. He had known about it for years and it was also one of the reasons that stopped him from confessing his love for her.

Now that they have confessed that they love each other (though they didn't say it directly) that doesn't mean that her fears are all gone. No they are still there but Kensi had put them aside and gave their thing a chance. Just thinking about it made him feel so proud that she did all this for him and their thing. And let's just not talk about his PTSD. He is still in recovery. Yeah, the nightmares are almost gone and now he can take a shot but the sound of the drill still echos in his mind and even the thought of it, scares the hell out of him. Though he was getting therapy but that doesn't means that he was fine and everything was back to normal. He was fighting his own battle of fears.

So they decided they will take things one step at time. So they talked, ate and kissed each other. Yeah well they kissed each other more than they talked. What could they do, they are helpless and not to forget they are hopelessly in love with each other. How they are not making love and how they are keeping control of themselves is a big surprise to them, especially him.

The long passionate kiss that she gave him was making things very hard for him. Damn it this one step at a time rule. But then he thought he has his whole lifetime for that because now she is his. Yes she is officially his. There is no turning back, only taking their thing to next level. What he didn't know was that he wouldn't get the time.

What he knew was that what he felt this morning was different and magnificent. He woke up at six in morning by the rays of sun falling on him. It took him in a minute or two to recall the events of last night. He couldn't believe them. He thinks that it was just a dream but then the scene in front of him begs to differ. He can't believe that his partner, his badass Blye; the love of his life is sleeping next to him wearing his shirt and boxers in a star fish manner, hovering all over the bed and snoring loudly in his ears. Over a period of time, he has got used to this type of sleeping arrangement, lying in the same bed as his partner, limbs tangled with her and her snores. Truth be told, he loves that sound. They didn't make love last night? So what? That doesn't mean they can't share the same bed.

He knows that they have shared the bed before. But it's not the same anymore. It's different this time. Because this time he kissed her good night and made her sleep as close as possible and now he would have given her good morning kiss. Just the thought made him smiled. But it looked like she wasn't in a mood or any such thing, instead her plan was different. She wanted to sleep and when she felt him stir next to her, she just tightened her grip on him. He smiled when he saw this. Well what can he say; Kensi Blye is definitely not a morning person. When he tried to wake her up, she just looked at him with her sleepy, beautiful brown orbs and then closed them and snuggled more into him. She now had both of her hands around him in a tight grip and her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat.

This had happened before; she had done this before not exactly the same, but something similar. Before last night whenever they shared the bed after the Sidorov incident, she would keep her one hand on his heart. Well this has become normal for them, to share the bed and for her to keep one hand on his heart. He wanted to ask her the reason for doing this but he was too afraid of the answers. Too afraid that if he asked this then it might break their routine. The routine they loved soo much. How couldn't they? They haven't seen each other for months. They have missed each other like hell. They missed their banter, breakfasts, lunches and dinners together. Their hangouts, movie nights, sleepovers, walk on beach, walks with Monty and cuddling sessions. They actually missed them together. So they were making up for their lost four months by spending each and every possible second together.

He loves this side of Kensi. The soft inner side of Kensi which is hidden by her tough exterior. He made himself proud that he is able to see this side of Kensi, so relaxed and yet still vulnerable, cuddling with him. He knew Kensi loved to cuddle but this was something new –something different. This is the girly side of Kensi; his girl. It felt amazing. So instead of waking her up, he snuggled more into her (as if that was even possible) and fell asleep.
