Sunshine & Gunpowder - A Densi fanfiction

Chapter 1

Deeks´ POV

Back at OSP we were sitting at the bullpen doing some paperwork and finally summarizing the case. It was completely clear once we´ve gotten all the pieces of the puzzle. Since there were no answered questions left, we closed the case. I heard Sam saying “But at the end a nutrition bar wrapping blew her cover…” As if he would have noticed. It hadn´t been written on the wrapping or something like that. Kensi had noticed and drawn the connection. It had been her deduction skills that solved the case. I had to make them giving her the credits she deserved. “No, no. Kensalina blew her cover!” I stated, pointing towards her. “Thank you” she added and packed up her last things almost ready to leave. I was already thinking about how I could explain to her, that I made a reservation at ´Maison Richard´s´. I finally planned on asking her out to a very beautiful French Restaurant in Downtown. I´ve been there once and it was delicious. Fabulous ‘nouveau western cuisine’ with a French flair atmosphere. Very cozy but still romantic… I just haven´t had the guts to ask her yet. The case got us really busy and I haven´t had the possibility to talk to her alone… I couldn´t risk Callen or Sam get to know about it. They would rip my head off without even blinking just for thinking about Kensi ´Badass´ Blye as a beautiful and attractive woman. While getting lost in my thoughts I heard Sam teasing Callen with going out to talk about tattoos, referring to Callen mentioning he´s thinking about getting one earlier.

We never talked about the kiss right before Siderov took Sam and me and tortured us. Kensi had been complaining about my bad communication skills. She looked freaking hot on that motorcycle and it had been driving me insane not being able to tell her what I felt… what I dreamed of and what I´ve been wishing for since the first time we got close enough to trust each other… For those reasons I just lost it. I stepped up to her and grabbed her mid-sentence to kiss her. It felt like heaven. Her soft lips touched by mine… Her smell… I knew I caught her off guard and she didn´t expect any of this. But it still hurt when she froze. I guess I completely freaked her out. Her face went blank when I let her go and she didn´t even say a word. She kind of didn´t react at all. At least I expected her to yell at me or to hit me… something like that. She was just staring at me with her beautiful mismatched eyes. I felt the urge to say something. So I managed to ask 'How´s that  for communication'. But still she didn´t react and kept staring at me. Finally she looked away, still seeming somehow bewildered but apparently remembering there was a case going on. Puzzled she got out she had to follow Michelle and left me, knowing I messed up.

I didn’t notice Sam and G. were already gone and almost missed Kensi leaving because I zoned out. I caught her almost leaving the bullpen. That´s it. I had to tell her, ask her. And I still had no idea how to do so. “Hey… you´re…. are you hungry?” I managed as if I just asked her about getting some takeaway before I drop her off at her place. ‘Damn… you screwed up again, Marty…’ “Oh, yeah. What do you feel like?” she wanted to know for it was kind of my turn to choose where to stop by. Considering my options I decided not to risk her saying ‘no’ and just take her to the restaurant without telling her that it has been planned as a date. I was counting on her addiction to fast food. “Hmmm… I don’t know. I was thinking about… you know… something like Tacos maybe…” ”Perfect!” she smiled in relieve since I didn’t say ‘sushi’ which I know she doesn’t like. It has been too easy. I won´t tell her it’s a date. Just look how it´s going and enjoy the dinner with my partner who I´m secretly in love with. I couldn’t help smiling. “Perfect” I repeated her. On our way out I touched her shoulder with mine playfully. Yet I had the feeling of being watched…
