Prompt: Can you write something about the other teams finding out Densi are married? This was in reference to the crossover event.
A/N: I'm not super familiar with the current cast of NCIS, aside from Jimmy, Tim, and Vance, and have only seen Hawaii during the crossover.
Sam and Callen lead the trek back into the mission, closely followed by Parker and Jane, with Kensi and Deeks trailing a few feet behind. Deeks felt the first waves of stress induced exhaustion creeping in, making him drag a little as they walked into the bullpen.
"You guys did good work today," Parker told them, glancing around at the agents gathered throughout the room. Sam shared a vaguely annoyed look with Callen, who gave the briefest roll of his eyes.
"Thanks, Parker," Sam said, the words underlaid with sarcasm. "
"You're all a little eccentric," Jane added. "It works surprisingly well for your team."
"And you guys didn't totally suck either," Deeks joked.
Jane had the good grace to look apologetic. "I just meant we didn't know a whole lot about you guys. You have to admit you're pretty secretive."
"Well, it comes in handy for our undercover work," Kensi explained, tapping Deeks' chest with the back of her hand. "You should see some of Deeks' aliases. He's one of the best."
"You mean like Artie?" Callen asked with a smirk.
"Yeah, I don't think they need to hear about Artie just now." Deeks shot Callen a brief glare. Artie was the not the kind of guy you rolled out for a first impression.
"We've heard a lot about your covert operations and aliases," Parker said. "I'm impressed your dedication in particular. It takes a lot of effort and skill to maintain a detailed cover for so long." He gestured to Kensi and Deeks.
"What cover are your talking about? We haven't had any long-term operations for a while," Kensi said slowly, brows knitted in confusion.
"Your marriage, of course. I've seen some of the wedding photos. It's very believable."
Deeks' eyes widened as he suddenly realized what was going on. "You think we've been faking our relationship for the job."
"Oh, if only it was fake," Sam muttered, sharing a commiserating look with Callen.
"Wait, you two are really together?" Jane checked in apparent disbelief.
"Yep." Deeks put an arm around Kensi's waist, as she leaned up to kiss his cheek. Parker gaped at them.
"We'll celebrate our fourth anniversary this March," Kensi added with a slightly defiant smile.
"Unbelievable." Parker shook his head. "Don't you think that causes a conflict of interest and puts your team at risk?"
"Eh, they'd be more distracted apart," Sam said. "Believe me."
"Plus you don't know what a relief it was when they stopped moping over each other."
"Ok, we did not mope," Deeks objected.
"Or the flirting disguised as banter," Callen continued gleefully. "They spent a lot of time talking about raccoons, knives, and water."
"It was a frozen lake," Kensi corrected testily. "And you are totally misrepresenting things. They were metaphors." She turned to address a bemused Jane and Parker. "We're a lot calmer now."
"Tell that to someone who attended your wedding. One word: Russians."
"Hey, that one's all one Deeks." Holding up here hands, Kensi absolved herself of any responsibility.
"Wait, what happened with Russians?" Jane asked with mild apprehension.
Deeks spoke up before Callen could interceded. "It was a beautiful day that I will remember for the rest of my life."
"And almost didn't happen when a Russian tried to kidnap you."
"It was a case of misplaced affection. And definitely not creepy at all."
"You know what, I don't think I need to know any more," Jane decided.
"Probably for the best," Deeks agreed. "So, you want to stop over for a drink and meet our daughter?"
A/N: I acknowledge that the comment about the team being secretive is fairly inaccurate at this point since everybody and their cat has visited the boat shed. I'm also not sure if other teams would already know about Kensi and Deeks.
