So here is the next chapter, again its set in season 2, episode 4 'Special Delivery'. I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS: LA, nor any of the lines I have taken from the show.

Deeks sat at his desk, which conveniently was diagonally across from Kensi's. Which meant she didn't even notice if he spend half his time on his phone texting, while also trying to get information on their case. The only one he had to keep an eye out for was Hetty sneaking up behind him. He didn't think she would be too happy with how he and G were texting when they should be working.

He got a little scared, he could admit it, when G said Sam was asking questions. He really didn't want him knowing about them, purely for self-preservation. Sam could be pretty terrifying when he wanted to be, and if he ever found out how he and G spent there evenings, then Deeks could just imagine how Sam would look going all protective over his partner. Yeah that wasn't something he ever wanted to see thank you very much. Luckily it seemed G had the situation under control and they could return to the lighter and naughtier tone of their previous texts. But finally they had to stop, what with G and Sam getting to Pendleton and actually having to go and do some work, so Deeks went back to doing what he should be, and trying to find out what he could on the murder of the marine.

When Sam and Callen returned, Deeks couldn't help himself from being a little wary around Sam for the first minute or two, wanting to make sure he really didn't have any idea who G had been communicating with, but he soon relaxed when Sam didn't treat him any differently than he had earlier that morning.

Callen on the other hand couldn't help but shake his head at the slight fear he saw in Marty's eyes when he talked to Sam. Surely the other guy knew he wouldn't let his partner hurt him, not that Sam would. He was more likely to rip him a new one for involving himself with a co-worker in general, and Deeks in particular. He knew the detective still wasn't Sam favourite person, and he knew his friend would never understand how he felt about the guy. But that didn't matter, because he was never going to find out. Pushing these thoughts to the back of his mind, Callen and the team started to exchange intel, and discuss the new development of the victim having a briefcase chained to his wrist. A briefcase that was now missing.

Sam had put G's texting out of his mind, or at least he had while he was working the case, and he didn't notice anything different in the way Deeks behaved. Mainly because it was Deeks and he was always a bit odd. Though he did roll his eyes when G finished Deeks' sentence. It seemed his partner had been right all that time ago. Those two really were alike.

After that the four split up again, and it wasn't long before Callen and Deeks started up there texting again while there partners both drove. And this time Kensi couldn't miss it.

"What are you doing Deeks?" She asked with exasperation at the small smile that was playing over his lips. No doubt he was sexting with one of the brain dead bimbos she imagined he spent his time with out of work.

"Just getting intel on the case." Deeks replied putting his phone away. He didn't trust his partner not to take it from him, and that wouldn't be good.

"Yeah right, what's this one's name, or do you even know it?" Kensi responded with a snort. Man her partner was such a womanizer it drove her crazy.

"That is a question isn't it." Deeks murmured to himself, he still had no idea what the G stood for after all. Not that he thought about it much, but still… now was not the time.

With that he resolutely turned the conversation to the case, and to annoying Kensi so much she forgot all about him texting. It worked pretty well. And when later Kensi got him to distract their victim's girlfriend's supervisor he found the time to pop out and grab a genic birthday card for Hetty. She knew about him and G, and he got the impression she had was pretty supportive. It was also obvious to anyone that she was close to the man he loved. So it only made sense in his mind to get her something. It wasn't a great card, but it was the best he could do with the time he had, and he was sure she wouldn't be too offended by it. Or at least he hoped not. Hmm, maybe he would slip it onto her desk later and then run away, before she had a chance to open it. Oh yeah, that actually sounded like a great plan in his mind.

When they all returned, it was to find Eric and Nell had a new suspect for them. An Iraqi jeweller. But they knew they couldn't just ask him questions. They had to find a way to get close to him and see if there theory on this case was right. Which led to the decision that Deeks and Kensi would do their first undercover op together, going in as a couple who had just got engaged. Callen wasn't sure how he felt about that, but he knew it was part of the job. And if he had to sit in the car with Sam and watch as Marty pretended affection for Kensi, then he would. He knew it was pretend after all, and it wasn't like he and Marty could play the happy couple was it?

Deeks was happy to be doing what he did best, though he could feel the slight tension in G about it. But hey, none of it would be real. The only one he care about was the other man, surely he knew that. And if not, well he was just going to have make sure he did. Therefore just before he and Kensi approached the jewellery store he sent off one more quick text.

'Wish you were with me'.

Which made Callen smile when he read it, though Sam rolled his eyes at seeing G's phone out once more.

"Please tell me you're going to spend this op texting your mystery date." He said with a smirk when G glared at him before putting his phone away.

Of course Callen wasn't going to be texting Marty, the guy was kind of busy after all. Not that he was going to say that to Sam. Instead he turned his eyes to the two undercover operatives who were walking past the front of their car. Hmm, Marty did look good in that black shirt and jeans, no not what he was supposed to be thinking about. So instead he changed his view to take in both of the supposed couple in front of them.

"There's the happy couple now." He said keeping any bitterness from his voice as he watched Marty try to take Kensi's hand only to have her bat his away.

"More like beauty and the beast." Sam replied with a chuckle as he watched the same thing.

At that Callen smirked as he thought that he wouldn't call Kensi a beast, but Sam was right that Marty was definitely beautiful. Bringing his mind back to the case he spoke again.

"Do you buy them as a couple?" He asked, curious to what Sam would say. Because to him there just didn't seem to be any chemistry between the younger partners. In fact there didn't seem to be much of anything, but maybe he had a slightly biased view, considering he knew exactly who would be spend the night with Marty, namely himself.

"It's LA. Even a troll can score a supermodel if he's rolling large." Sam replied understanding what G wasn't saying. Kensi and Deeks had nothing between them, he just hoped they could act the parts they were supposed to be playing when they got inside the jewellery store.

Once the couple had gone inside Sam decided to turn the conversation to trying to pry some more information from his partner about the new person in his life. Because while sure, he had decided he wouldn't push it, he knew G didn't expect him to leave it alone either.

"So is that how you got your new beau G? You have a secret stash of money I don't know about?" He asked with a smirk for his partner.

"Thanks for that Sam. And any money I had Hetty spent it all on my house." Callen replied with a fake offended look on his face at Sam's words.

"Oh yeah."

That was when Sam remembered something he had been wondering about, before the whole texting thing started. He had thought that G had been spending his time at the mission, but now he had a re-think.

"I came round a couple times, and you never seem to be there. Where were you?" Sam asked eyeing his partner to try and see if he would give anything away with his body language.

"Out." Callen smirked not turning to look at Sam, instead watching the front of the store waiting for Marty and Kensi to come back out with the intel they needed. Or at least he hoped they could get it.

"With…?" Sam asked leaning towards G as if to help him finish the sentence.

"None of your business." Callen responded remembering Hetty's words to them when Sam was trying to find out about where Nate had been sent.

"Okay, so what does 'none of your business' do for a living?" Sam asked as if that was a perfectly normal name for someone to have.

"Not telling." Callen answered with a smirk. He couldn't exactly say he was the NCIS LAPD liaison now could he? That would be a bit of a giveaway.

"Interesting. Never heard of that career, it pay well?" Sam asked determined to get something from G about whoever it was who had come into his life.

Luckily Callen was saved from answering by Deeks and Kensi coming back out, the latter not looking very pleased with her partner as she called her team leader. In fact if he had to guess, he would say they were arguing. And Callen couldn't stop himself from feeling just a little bit glad about that. Nor could he stop the smile that appeared on his face at it.

"What?" Sam asked seeing the smile and wondering what G was thinking now.

"Don't worry about it." Callen replied as he settled in to watch for their suspect, but not before he saw Kensi walk off, leaving Deeks to call after her before he followed. Callen found it entertaining to watch, but he didn't miss how Marty's eyes met his as he turned towards a Kensi and called her princess, a look of apology in them as he tried to keep up the fake relationship with his partner.
