Hey hey. First of all I wanted to thank you for your reviews, favs and follows. That's very sweet of you and I loved to read them. But, I just don't get how to answer to them actually soooo. Anyway, here's the second chapter. It's set the day after the first one. I think it's an exception because the 24 others might not have any links. (idk if this sentence makes any sense). So let me know what you think of this OS with reviews and maybe i'll find how to answer to you. Thank you so much.

Chapter 2 : Blood

The next morning, Deeks woke up first. He realised who was in his arms, his feet interlaced to hers, his arms around her. A large smile appeared on his sleepy face and that's when he realised how much he was delighted at this very moment. Every seconds from last night ran through his mind. He remembered the fight, the kiss, the embrace and the « I Love You ». For a minute, he didn't move, he just watched her sleep. Totally not in a creepy way of course. Kensi seemed so peaceful and really asleep that he didn't want to wake her up. She was truly beautiful. He had never seen a woman so beautiful. Of course they had to talk about their thing and how it will be between them from now on, they had to go to work and save people. But as far as he was concerned, he wanted to stay in bed with her during the whole day. Deeks knew a lot of things about her but all he wanted to do today was learning more stuff about Kensi. Her Kensi. It seemed too good to be true.

"stop looking at me."

He chuckled a little bit before kissing her cheek. "I wasn't."

"Yes, you were. This is way more scary than a stalker." Kensi said, laughing, before she turned to look at him. She stretched and put the blanket over her.

"I was thinking of something." She said, looking everywhere but not at him.

"You had the time to do it between the night we had and you waking up 2 minutes ago ?" He responded, hiding a smile from her. He then received a punch on his arm.

"Touché. No but seriously. Do you think that this, us, our thing, could be a secret for a little bit ? Because, after everything that happened with Siderov and in Afghanistan.. you know.. I just want this to belong.. to us for a moment. You know I missed you when I wasn't there and.. well.. do you mind if we keep this for us ?" Kensi looked at him discretly. You could only see her eyes exceeded from the warm blanket. She was stressed that he will react badly about it.

Deeks stared at her for a minute or two before smiling gently. "Keeping it a secret is fine with me. And you know Monty is gonna be happy to have you for him you know."

He then hugged her more firmly in order to let her know that he agree with this decision.

Their new case was a kidnapped Marine. He was held as a hostage in a warehouse in the North of Los Angeles. The team had small informations on the abductors but finally, after the whole day searching everywhere, they had a lead. That's why they were heading to the building and save the man. Kensi was supposed to be the sniper in this case and take control in case of emergency. The others had to go in, save the guy and arrest the criminals. It was supposed to be as every other cases. It wasn't supposed to turn out like this. Kensi was in position, hid behind trees and her partner Sam and Callen were about to go in.

"All clear." She said through her headset.

At this moment they decided to enter and took the abductors down. And that's what they did.

But Kensi felt a gun on her back. She stopped moving, breathing but not thinking. Her mind was boiling and god, she was not okay with this situation. She couldn't turn away or he would kill her, she couldn't speak or the others would come and the Marine wouldn't be saved and he would kill her, she couldn't try to kill him because he would do it before her. All she could do and all she did was to laid down her gun and lift up her hands in the air, still her back to him. She wanted to let the guys know what was going on or even dissuade him to do anything but before she could say one word, the man shot. He shot her. Her head was resting on the ground among the dust and she let out a slight shout. Everything was spinning around her and her wound hurt her so much. At some point, the pain was so high it was like she felt nothing. Not even her body. Just nothing.

"Kensi ? What happened ?" Deeks asked. Yelling more than something else. They all heard the scream and they were looking at each other, in distress.

Of course she wasn't. The man escaped as fast as he came here and she was all alone. To top it all off she blacked out, bleeding too much from the bullet hole.

A few hours ago, she was in a hospital bed, asleep after her surgery but she wasn't that alone. Deeks stood beside her, her hand in his and he was staring at her. Some thoughts came in his mind. She couldn't die here and now because their thing just became a true relationship, she couldn't die because he didn't know how he would handle it, she couldn't die because she was Kensi. Her Kensi. That was not possible. He wasn't going to accept that. He felt so useless at that very moment, what could he do ? When they found her on the ground he freaked out. He even thought his heart had stop beating for a second. Or maybe for a minute. He had been so terrified because she fainted and the ambulance came after forever. He also felt terribly miserable because she had been on her own when the guy hurt her. He wasn't there to protect her and he blamed himself for it. A lot. Now it was too quiet in the small room. He said to Sam and Callen that he will call if there are any news, but for now they could go home. He was going to stay with her until she wakes up.

"Kensi ? Now is the time to open your eyes. You are not allowed to to die here. I hope you understood me. Ok, come on, open them now." Deeks whispered as he stroked her arm gently.

"She will Mr. Deeks." Hetty appeared behind him and she let her hand on his shoulder. "You know she will. "

He turned his head to gaze at her but that's all he did. He couldn't smile. "When ?"

She shrugged a little bit, looking him in the eyes. "When she wants. You know she's stubborn."

Deeks looked at Kensi once again, small tears in his eyes, tightening her hand.

"I believe you are in a relationship with miss Blye." She said.

Deeks didn't understand how she could know it because they have been careful not to come in together this morning. But of course, it's Hetty and Hetty knows everything. As always. So he just nodded and a slight smile appeared on his face. "Yes we are."

All she responded was "Good." and then she left the room. But before she did, she said that everything will turn out to be ok.

When Kensi opened her eyes, it was as if she hadn't sleep in like forever. She felt a terrible pain in her back and a weight on her legs. It was him. He stayed with her. Of course he did. She wanted to move and go home to her bed but her body felt so heavy. She moved her fingers to Deeks' hair to wake him up. He lift his head quickly with an adorable sleepy face, and he stood up to look at her properly.

"Oh my God, you're awake. Are you alright ? Do you need anything ? How do you feel ? Do you want me to go so you can sleep ?"

Kensi laughed a little bit. It was more like a groan due to her injuries but she still was awake.

"Hey, calm down. Just come here." She made room for him in the very small bed. He lie down with his arms around her body.

"A couple of months ago, you made me promised that I would never get myself killed. I think it's your turn now." He was so gentle it was like he didn't even touch her. He didn't want to aggravate her situation.

"I'll do my best for the next time." Kensi said while resting her head on his chest.

"Did you save the Marine ?" Of course, she would hear about him before seeing the doctors about her condition.

"We did. You should sleep. Really." With his thumb, he was stroking her hip.

"Can you stay ?" She asked with a voice that made him think of a child. He smiled gently and he nodded.

"To make me go, you'll have to beat me up. So yes, Kensalina I'm staying."

Falling asleep she let out a small "Thank you.", leaning more against him. After an hour of watching her sleep, Deeks closed his eyes to fall asleep too. Relieved that everything turned out ok, as Hetty said earlier.
