A little drabble in honor of today being the fifth anniversary of Densi going 'all in'.
Kensi leaned back against Deeks' chest, humming softly in contentment. They'd gone for an evening walk on the beach and even though it was a little bit chilly, the sunset was lovely. Plus, it never hurt when her partner was by her side.
"You know what today is?" she asked Deeks. He snuggled her a little closer, swaying gently from side to side.
"Sunday the 15th." Kensi rolled her eyes at him
"And…" she prompted.
"I feel like I'm missing something very obvious right now," he said and she turned around in his arms, smiling gently.
"It's the fifth anniversary of the day we decided to go all in," she reminded him and his eyes widened.
"Oh, I remember now!"
"Sure you do."
"No, I do. We were at the ice rink, you kept falling over-"
"That's a blatant exaggeration," Kensi interrupted, but Deeks didn't seem bothered, grinning at her as he continued.
"Then you pulled me aside and said that you wanted to be bold and stop playing games." He brushed her hair back from her face, his expression tender as he reminisced. "And that was when we decided to go all-in."
"You're feeling pretty pleased with yourself right now, aren't you," Kensi guessed and his smile turned smug for a moment.
"A little bit. But I'm also thinking about how that was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life," he said and Kensi felt her throat tighten unexpectedly.
"Mine too," she whispered, leaning up to kiss him firmly. "I haven't regretted it for a moment."
"Happy Anniversary, baby," Deeks said, wrapping his arms more tightly around her. Kensi laid her head on his chest, completely content.
