It was a month before Callen was able to return to work, and during that time he settled back into his home with Marty. He worked hard at getting his fitness levels back, and also actually opened up to Nate, talking about all that had happened, and about his relationship with Marty. They were together and he wasn't going to keep it from the people he worked from. Not anymore. Of course that didn't mean he told anyone else, but still, talking to Nate about anything was a massive step for him.

Deeks for his part was happy to have G back where he belonged. Happy to go back to how they had been, though there were subtle differences. G no longer changed the conversation whenever anything personal or work related came up, and instead replied to Deeks questions with a rare honesty that had the detective's heart soring. There was only one instant of worry in that month for him, and that was when Deeks returned home to find G in the livingroom with another man. He had no idea who he was and instantly his hackles raised causing him to glare at him. Of course once G introduced him as Nate, he relaxed and welcomed the man into his home with a happy smile, glad to finally meet someone else G worked with. Though as he walked the guy out he couldn't help but think he saw a look of amusement on his face. No doubt he had seen how he had responded to a stranger in his home with the man he loved when he had first walked in. He hated to think what the phycologist had made of that. Not that that really mattered to him, it wasn't like he was going to be seeing the guy regularly after all. He knew G still liked to keep his work separate from his private life, and he accepted that, because he also knew he was willing to share. It wasn't an active form of secret keeping anymore, more a habit than anything else. A habit he was sure G would break eventually. He could give him time to do that. He trusted him enough to give him the time, after all G had given him the time to trust him again, turnabout was fair play and all that.

Then came the time Deeks had been dreading, Callen returned to work. He waited with batted breath to see if he reverted to how he used to be, but he was happy to see that his apprehension was unfounded when G came back after his first day he didn't hesitate to tell him all about the new kid Dom and the rest of the team. It seemed everything wasn't going back to how it had been and Deeks couldn't be more glad.

And so the months past, Dom got taken and Deeks made sure he was there for the man he loved. Giving him the support and comfort he needed at the loss of his team member. Ready to help in any way he could, he even did searches on the LAPD database to see if he could find anything that would help the team at NCIS find their missing member.

But soon Deeks had to go back to deep cover. Bates had kept him out of it for as long as he could, but he couldn't stay out of it indefinitely, and the truth was he didn't want to. But he still felt a little unsure when he said goodbye to G for his first proper op in a long time. Though that feeling wasn't due to any trust issues, but more a worry that something would happen to the man he loved while he was gone. He couldn't have been more pleased to discover G ready and waiting for him when he came back.

Therefore everything went back to how it was, but better. There were no secrets, no dark clouds surrounding them, just Callen and Deeks together, loving each other as they always had, yet with an openness that was new, and most definitely improved.

It was while Deeks was on an assignment that G was standing in the bullpen listening to Eric give the team a run down on their latest case. And it was then that Kensi mentioned her hinky feeling about a Jason Wilder. Eric pulled up the photo of said man and Callen couldn't help but smirk when he saw it, nor could he stop the way he cut his eyes to the two other men there that would recognise the man in front of them. Sam just rolled his eyes, while Nate raised his eyebrow. This could be interesting. They both waited for Callen to say something, but the team leader didn't. He was too busy feeling the peace inside himself at this turn of events. Because for the last four years this had been his worst nightmare, when one of their ops would cross with one of Marty's. He had dreaded it so much it had felt like a weight on his shoulders. But now, seeing the man he loved picture come up in its undercover disguise he could feel nothing but euphoria. He was finally going to find out just how good his man really was at the job they did, and he could show him just what his team could do. Yes, it was time for his two world to collide, and he for one, couldn't wait for it to happen. Let the fireworks begin.

Oh yes, all was good in the world of Callen and Deeks.

THE END

So that's it. Once again thank you to those who have supported me thought-out this story. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

See you laters, my dears.
