So after seeing some more comments about the state of Deeks/ECO’s hair, this scenario popped into my head. It’s also inspired a longer, angstier version which I may or may not post at some point.

***

Callen: So Deeks, when are you going to cut your hair?

Deeks, frowning: Excuse me? What’s wrong with my hair.

Sam: It’s getting out of control. At least before you used to keep it neat and trimmed, but not it’s starting to actually resemble a mop.

Deeks: Well, that was brutally honest, not to mention, rude.

Callen, looking slightly amused but completely unabashed: You might also want to consider grooming your beard a little. It’s looking a little scruffy.

Deeks: Wow, I feel so loved right now. *He glances at Kensi who is watching the whole thing with a small frown. She raises her hands defensively*

Kensi: Hey, don’t look at me. I had nothing to do with this.

Sam: You’re just saying that because you have to go home with him.

Kensi: Oh, I may joke about it, but I do not make legitimate suggestions about what Deeks does with his hair. The last time someone did, he nearly gave himself a crew cut.

Sam, rolling his eyes: You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Callen, grinning at Kensi mischievously: Sam, remember how Kensi couldn’t stop talking about Deeks when she met him undercover? She just loved those blue eyes and shaggy blonde hair. It’d kill her if he cut off all those fluffy locks.

Kensi: Wait, how did this conversation become about me?

Deeks, quietly to himself: I knew it!

Kensi, glaring at Callen: I hate you.

Hetty, appearing beside Kensi’s desk with a white, ribbon topped box: Ahem, I hate to interrupt, but I just wanted to give Mr. Deeks a little present.

Deeks, accepting the slim box suspiciously: Why are you giving me a gift?

Hetty: It seemed appropriate given the current topic. Open it, please.

Deeks cautiously removes the lid to reveal a shiny black case. Sam, Kensi, and Callen eagerly come over to peer at the contents.

Kensi, sounding a little shocked: You gave him a barber kit.

Hetty, obviously pleased with herself: The very best you can buy.

Callen, in between laughs: Oh my god, that is...awesome.

Hetty: Now, I suggest you put this kit to good use. Nothing too drastic, but I expect to see you looking well-groomed and like the detective we all know and love.

Kensi, as Hetty walks away: Wow, that was...

Deeks, closing the box with a look of distaste and tossing it on the opposite side of his desk: Yeah. But at least I can open my own barber shop now if I want to.

Sam, looking a little sheepish: Sorry for starting this. I didn’t expect Hetty to do anything like that.

Deeks: Don’t worry about it, man.

Later that day

Kensi: So, you’re not planning to actually cut your hair, are you?

Deeks: Nope.

Kensi: For how long?

Deeks, considering: Haven’t decided that yet.

Kensi with a sigh: That’s what I figured.

Deeks: How do you feel about me with a ponytail.

Kensi: Deeks, I will support you through...whatever this is, but there is no way in hell you are wearing a ponytail to our wedding.

Deeks: I can work with that.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind Deeks’ hair to be a little more groomed, but I still don’t think he looks bad.

It’s not uncommon for one of the Avengers to be awoken from a nightmare. Everyone of them has a bad past, and sometimes it follows them into their dreams. When this happens, they usually go find that one thing that makes them calm again. Most of the time, it’s another Avenger.

Steve has to check on everyone, to make sure that they are okay. He does several rounds checking on everybody, seeing if they need anything. He needs to be reminded that he is awake, that he still has people that he cares about.

Clint usually drags himself into someone’s arms to sleep there. Nat, and Bruce are the usually targets for this but they don’t mind too much. He sleeps peacefully with them.

Bruce can’t get nightmares. If he does and his heart rate goes over the limit, he could hulk out. So he takes either a sleeping pill, or some sedative to prevent this from happening.

Natasha is very much like Steve and Clint. When she awakens, she heads straight for the gym to work off some of the stress. Then, she goes around to the team to check on them and if she finds someone that is having a hard time (usually Tony), she stays with them.

Thor likes to call Jane when he has nightmares. He knows that she will listen to him talk about anything he needs to. Sometimes he might even fly out to New Mexico to see her. 

Tony is the worst mainly because he doesn’t sleep much. When he does, it is always filled with nightmares. From being kidnapped, and tortured, to falling through the black hole, it’s always something that wakes him every time he sleeps. So he pushes himself not to sleep for as long as he can. The entire team knows of this and has to pull him away. They stay with him from when he falls asleep, to the time he wakes up. He is always embarrassed by this so the others don’t say how he likes to cuddle in his sleep.

McGee takes the weekend off, Tony and Ziva take something else.

Not many people know about the car that sits in Timothy McGee's garage. A black, beautiful 1984 Camaro Z28. His parents bought it for him the day he turned sixteen. It was one of the happiest moments in his life. He drove that car anywhere and everywhere, carting around all of his friends after school and on the weekends. They would hit up every drive in and movie theater in town. The car had had its glory days. Now in the present, it sits idle in Tim's garage, unused for many years. He still cracks the motor every once in a while, but other than than it got little attention compared to Tim's Porsche Boxter parked beside it. While it took up a large amount of room in the space, he didn't ever sell it or give it away. It was his first car. It was full of memories and adventures that a younger Tim had seen. Too much sedimental value to just give away.
