"Alright, that should be everything for this lot. Now just three more to go," Deeks said, placing the last gun in its appropriate slot in the armory. He pulled the fencing down, and locked it.

"Yep," Kensi agreed. She reviewed the inventory list, signed off at the bottom, and then handed it off to Deeks for his signature. She glanced around the room. "I can't believe that Sam and Callen passed armory duty off on us again."

"Mm, the perks of being senior agents." He was a little annoyed by the mild misuse of rank, but at least he got to spend the time with Kensi. Unlike at LAPD during his early days, where he'd spent entire weekends slogging through old files in the basement or other menial tasks.

"I could be soaking in my bathtub with a book and ice cream right now," Kensi grumbled.

"Sorry my company isn't enough entertainment," Deeks teased. Giving him a perturbed look, Kensi rolled her eyes.

"You know that's not what I meant." She sidled up to him, and drew her finger across his chin. "There's room for two in the tub."

"Ooh, I like the way you think. Of course, you're forgetting one benefit to our current situation, Kensalicious," Deeks drew the name out as he tugged her towards him, settling his hands low on her back.

"Oh, and what's that?" Kensi asked. A little thrill ran through her. This, being able to touch each other without needing an excuse, was still so new and exciting.

Deeks dipped his head to whisper in her ear. His breath was warm, making a shiver slide up her spine. "It's very private. Just the two of us." He brushed his lips over her cheek, drawing closer to her mouth.

"Ahem," someone interjected loudly. They both jerked apart, Deeks turning smoothing his hands thorough his hair while Kensi needlessly straightened her shirt. Nell lurked in the doorway, a clipboard in her hands, and one eyebrow raised.

"Nell," Deeks said smoothly. "Didn't realize you were still around."

"I had to finish running a program. Hope I didn't interrupt anything," she said in a knowing voice.

"Nope, we were just finishing up the inventory," Kensi explained quickly.

"Uh-huh. So…I was just stopping by to see if you guys want to grab some dinner, but it sounds like you already have plans."

"No, we don't have any plans," Deeks insisted. "At least I don't." Kensi turned just enough to glare at him, and he shrugged.

"Great," Nell said brightly, her lips twitching. "I'll be waiting for you in the bullpen." She started to leave, then popped her head back in at the door. "By the way, there's a great blind spot over there in the corner."
