A/N: Written for densimber day 3.
For anyone wondering what the heck densimber is, mashmaiden (also known as Phnxgirl on ) created an event several years ago over on Tumblr. Every December, we celebrate all things Kensi, Deeks, and Densi. For the past few years, I've done my best to write a story for each day. So, that's where this eclectic collection originated.
"Just as a warning, Nell is extremely excited to see you again," Deeks informed Rosa as they walked towards their airport terminal.
"Yes, I remember last time," Rosa said with a wry grin. During Nell and Eric's last, and very brief, visit to the states, Nell had nearly knocked Rosa down with her overly enthusiastic hug. "I'm prepared."
They found Eric and Nell at the very front of the line, holding up a handmade sign that read "Welcome to Tokyo Deeks-Blye Family" in sparkly letters.
Nell caught sight of them when they were a few yards away and ran to meet them, making a beeline for Rosa. She enveloped her in a tight, albeit less aggressive, hug.
"Rosa, I'm so happy to see you again!" she said, pulling back with a smile.
"I see how we rank these days," Deeks joked, accepting a hug from Eric.
"Oh you know that I miss you guys like crazy," Nell told him, finally releasing Rosa. She moved to Kensi next, rocking back and forth slightly. Deeks heard her say "Love you, Lady," the rest was unintelligible.
When she got to Deeks, she wore a slightly wistful expression.
"Deeks." She held out her arms, waiting for him to enfold her first. She tucked herself into his chest with a sigh. "I really missed these big brother hugs," she murmured, her smaller arms wrapping tight around his torso. "And these muscles," she added, giving his bicep a playful squeeze.
Deeks laughed breathily, not having realized just how much he'd needed this.
"Good to see you too, Nellosaurus," Deeks told her, earning a grin from both her and Eric.
"I think I missed that most of all, Shaggy."
"Now there's something I haven't heard in forever," Eric commented. "There's a severe lack of nicknames in our company. And novelty pajama pants."
"Well, I can help you with the first one, but sadly we did not pack any pants with pandas or cacti on them."
"But we did bring presents," Kensi assured them.
"Oh, you shouldn't have," Nell said, linking arms with Deeks and Kensi, leading them towards the exit. "What do you get us?"
Rosa snorted at Nell's childlike excitement.
"Nope, you'll have to wait," Deeks teased.
"It's tradition," Kensi objected reasonably. "If you open them at any other time, they're no longer Christmas presents.
"You can have mine whenever you want, but Marty and Kensi will probably insist on waiting until it's closer to Christmas," she informed Nell in a stage whisper.
"And now I like you even more," Nell decided, switching over to walk next to Rosa instead.
"So where do you want to go first?" Eric asked once they had piled into a blue SUV.
"Well, I'm kind of hungry," Kensi said, and Deeks grinned, squeezing her knee. If there was one thing that was always consistent, it was Kensi Blye's appetite.
"So we should stop at a cafe as soon as we drop your luggage off," Nell finished. "Ooh, there's a place just down the street from us that has the most amazing Japanese pastries. You guys will love it."
"And then maybe we can visit some place like Inokashira Onshi Park," Rosa suggested. Eric raised an eyebrow, looking impressed.
"Wow, your pronunciation is really good."
"I've been practicing."
"And researching ever since she found out we were coming to Japan," Kensi added with a proud smile.
"It was interesting," Rosa said with a shrug.
"Alright, food for Kensi so she doesn't turn into a wildebeest, and the garden for Rosa," Deeks summed up.
"Sounds good. Then later this evening, we can do something a little more adventurous."
"Nell, we totally need to take them cosplay go-karting," Eric said, sharing a look with Nell that Deeks found fairly terrifying.
"Uh, I'm not sure that's really our thing," he said uncertainly.
"Oh, you guys will love it. Then we'll do something really crazy."
"This is going to be amazing," Rosa decided happily while Kensi and Deeks shared dubious looks.
A/N: I always imagine that Nell and Eric are up to crazy hijinks in between running their company.
