*sigh* that’s adorable.

I love these two and I love how you portray them.

German? Why Danke schoen? or Schön, like it's written here

Very nice!

Delightfully written. And I never heard the Fight Club theory for Ferris Bueller. I'll have to keep it in mind the next time I come across it.

This was great! I love the banter, the ease of the conversation, and the way you filled in some blanks about Kensi and Deeks' high school experiences. There's a vivid sort of reality to what you're laid out here and I also liked that you developed more on Kensi's aversion to high school. It felt odd in the episode without some much needed explanation, which you provided here. I could see them having these debates about movies, and that was a nice little ending for them ;)

Good luck with NaNoWriMo!

It's good to read something from your pen again! I hope you've been doing well these past weeks. I'm enjoying the current season - it's difficult to see right now who's getting the spotlight this season but that way I'm tagging along and just watching episode by episode. Wow, for forty minutes I really thought Deeks would leave the team. I think they patched up that story part - trauma and everything - quite well, and I like how the writers reminded the audience that there still was that one unresolved issue between Kensi and Deeks. After I got over my initial shock I think it feels a bit like your Invincible Summer - the doubts, the waiting, and the sense that it will be alright some day... Still, I liked your way of dealing with the cliffhangar of season 4's last episode more. :)

Six sentences into this one shot I went and googled Ferris Mueller. Then I restarted. Suddenly many things made sense.

I think it was a very nice starting point for that kind of conversation. High-school experiences, good and bad, loose conversations - and a way of getting to know each other's pasts without getting too painful or personal. Nice background stories you came up with here, and I liked the hints to the episode and the story before. Once again, you wrote a wonderful dialogue, humorous and warm. It feels like listening to an old couple - which, in a way, they are by now.

It's very... comforting... to hear Kensi's high school time wasn't perfect and queen bee like. Somehow I picture her as the person to grow into her adult self slowly and painfully. Does that make sense? Of course losing her parents made her grow up quickly but I daresay pain, hurt and anger only left her slowly. She probably was far more impatient and easier to anger then until she calmed a bit, learned to control herself and became the Kensi we know.

Listening to their stories I think I missed a lot in high school :) Or maybe not. Who knows.

I'd classify your story under one shot, not drabble, because someone told me drabbles really had to be super-short On the other hand, my "drabbles" come up to 1000 words, as well. And while I agree with your opinion of the number of words now and then I love to challenge myself by setting a length limit for my stories. It makes it interesting, having to convey a story in so few words (so little time). Sorry, I didn't want to go off track here. What I meant to say is that I really like your story here. A beautiful little glimpse into Kensi's and Deek's partnership, a small shot of a scene away from work, a bit past and some more future and a perfect treat for a rainy afternoon.

Thanks for sharing this!

Loved it...you did a wonderful job

That was really funny! And the end caught me completely by surprise. You gave their voices and syntax perfectly. Enjoyed this piece a lot.

I enjoyed this. A lot. Their conversation is so natural and I love your attention to details.

The dialogue is amazing and that ending...wow!

I love love love this. So funny, so them!

this was great! Thanks!

Great dialogue as always :)

Cute story. I'm glad you're writing a NaNo. I'm sure it will be good.
