NCIS: LA DENSI fanfic

Touché

"What are you doing here?" came Kensi's voice as she opened her front door to find Deeks calmly standing in front of her.

A moment of silence emerged between the two after Deeks did not immediately reply.

It was slightly tense... Almost electrifying.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay," he said finally.

Kensi tried to read his face, but it remained expressionless. "I don't need your help. I'm fine," she told him as she tried to shut her front door again.

But Deeks shot up his hand to prevent the door from closing, his muscles bulging under his shirt. He took a step closer to Kensi, so that his chest was touching hers. Kensi's head snapped up, and he stared deep into her warm, brown eyes.

He could feel the warmth radiating off her body as he placed his hands on her lower back protectively.

"Kensi," was all he said.

Kensi bit her lip and lowered her eyes. "Deeks I don't want to talk about it. Stop pestering me."

Deeks sighed. Why was she so cold, almost unreceptive today? What had happened?

"Why did you storm out of work today?" he asked finally, carefully keeping his voice at whisper level.

Kensi tried to get out of his strong embrace. "I don't want to talk about it," she said. "Just drop it."

"Kensi!" Deeks whispered, running his hand up her back. Kensi shivered, trying to take a step back, but Deeks held her firmly against him.

She stopped fighting Deeks' embrace and let his warm, comforting hands hold her. 

They rocked back and forth for a few moments, just enjoying the comforting feeling.

Finally Deeks looked down at their bodies pressed together and let out a small smile.

"Why are you in Micky Mouse pajamas?" he asked, slightly amused.

"Shut up," she said with a small smirk. "You're no fashionista yourself."

"Touché, touché," Deeks laughed. Kensi smiled, opening the door to let him in. Deeks took a deep breath, taking in the sweet aroma of citrus tinged with a hint of blossoming flowers. Sunshine. She smelled like sunshine and gunpowder.

His two favorite things.
