Mentions of 3+1: Sassy

It’s your sister Sassy that fucks everything up.

That and the hashtags #SabatinoWedding, #MrsVostanikSabatino #Mysisterswedding

Both you and Nik make a point of not being on social media. It’s too dangerous with your line of work, especially with Nik’s history in the CIA. Working with Nell and Eric has given you insight into how easy it can be to infiltrate people’s lives through those platforms and the both of you have fucked up a lot of shit for a lot of bad people.

Throughout the duration of your relationship, you have expressed the importance of this upon your sister. You’ve never told Sassy that Nik used to be CIA, as far as she’s concerned, he’s worked private security abroad for the few couple of years before he took a job with the US Mashall’s office.

Pictures of yourself are fine, you tell her, but none of us.

The issue is she’s a self-absorbed Valley Girl.

You don’t realise she’s completely ignored you until it becomes a problem.

The problem being you come home to find your house trashed and your husband beating the shit of out of a man whose broken in with the intention of murdering you both. Your gun is already in your hand when you see the second man coming for Nik with a combat knife in his hand. You don’t hesitate to pull the trigger. Three shots centre mass and the son of bitch collapses before he even lays a hand on your man.

Nik flinches at the sound, his head wheeling towards you as blood streams down the left side of his face from a cut in his hair line. There’s a bruise already blossoming along his jaw. You shove down the rage that courses through your body as you help him to subdue the one that’s still living.

“They were waiting for me when I got home.” He tells you as he sits on the floor with his back against the wall, his elbows resting on his knees. He uses the back of his hand to wipe the blood from his forehead before it can drip into his eyes. “They moved like they were military."

You kneel down in front of him, a warm, damp cloth in your hand. You tip his chin up so that you can study his features and he closes his eyes as you gently clean away the crimson streaks that cover his skin.

“I don’t understand how this happened.” He murmurs, his voice a little raspy. You can see black bruising already forming across his throat, evidence of a chokehold. “We’re both so careful.”

“We’ll figure it out.” You say softly, your fingertips ghosting across his cheek. “I promise you we will.”

***

There’s silence in the Ops Centre as the two of you stand before the huge wall length screen, reviewing your sister��s Instagram account: SuddenlySassy. You’ve never laid eyes on it before; you’ve never needed to. What you’re seeing right now fills you with a sense of fury because Sassy did not listen to a word you said.

Despite your request there’s pictures of both you and Nik from the wedding all over her feed, the venue tagged. There’s even a video of your first dance to Vance Joy’s ‘Fire and the Flood’ posted up in her Reels for the entire world to see.

This is how they found you, you realise, through your sister’s social media.

When Deeks calls, he finds the venue was broken into earlier in the week, the only thing taken were the records pertaining to wedding billings, your address would have been in that documentation.

Beside you Nik clears his throat as he crosses his arms over his chest. You don’t even have to look at him to know that his jaw is clenched and his lips pursed together. He has a fraught relationship with Sassy at the best of times, he’s lost track of how much he’s had to bite his tongue because despite the fact he hates her, he respects you.

“My sister almost killed you.” You find yourself whispering as you lean back against the desk.

It horrifies you how close you’d come to losing the man you love because of your sister’s inability to actually do as she’s told.

Nik says nothing. He’s always known how selfish Sassy is, but she’s the only family you have left, and he knows how important she is to you. You ask Nell to delete the Instagram account, not just the posts about the two of you but the whole thing. It’s then he realises you’re finally at the end of your tether.

He loses track of you for a while after that, he’s chasing down the guys who hired the hit with Deeks while you handle things back in Ops. When you get to the safe house that night, he busies himself unpacking his things while you sit down on the bed, your hands pressed between your knees. This whole thing has taken a toll on you.

Nik’s already planning the next steps because he knows you’re not in the right mindset to even consider anything beyond this moment. The two of you are going to have to move, change up your routines because there’s no telling if your information was sold on the open market. Nik’s already started looking at listings.

When he turns to face you, he can see you’re exhausted and overwrought. It’s in the quiet moments at the end of the mission that it all comes crashing down on you, the emotions you’ve been supressing they rush to the surface because the adrenaline fades and you’re forced to confront the reality of what happened.

“We won’t be seeing Sassy for a while.” You say quietly as he sits down alongside of you.

“I would never ask you to do that.” He says he takes your hand in his. His thumb chases over your wedding ring and he remembers that moment he looked into your eyes as he placed it on your finger. For better or for worse he had promised you, and that included Sassy. “I know how much she means to you.”

“Nik.” You say softly, tilting your head towards him. “When I told her what happened today, she was more concerned about her social media accounts than the fact she’s blown up our entire life. She refused to acknowledge she did anything wrong and I know she’d do it again in a heartbeat if she thought it would get her more attention. I can’t take that risk, you’re too important to me.”

He hears your voice break just a little and he knows that it’s hard. Your sister is the only biological family you had felt, he can’t imagine how tough it must be to make a decision this, but the thing is he agrees with it because the life you’re building it’s going to require more stability in the future. You can’t take the risk of something like this happening again, especially not with a kid in the mix. The two of you have been talking about it a lot recently. He thinks it’ll happen in the next couple of years.

“The thing that terrified me today was thinking about what would have happened if you got home before I did.” He finds himself telling you, his voice raw with emotion.

He’s gone over the scenario a thousand times in his head and the images, they haunt him. You’re both highly trained but the guys who came after him today were too. He knows when he gets in the shower later, his body is going to be riddled with bruises, he can already feel the stiffness setting in as he sits beside you.

“I keep thinking of the next time, what if I’m pregnant, what if we have kids…” You trail off squeezing his hand tightly. “That’s why I have to do this. I have to protect our family, the one we have now and the one we’ll have in the future.”

A/N: A little dialogue drabble that takes place during the final scene in 11x01.

***

Deeks: Well, we better get to our hotel. It’s getting late.

Fatima: It’s only like ten.

Sabatino: Yeah, I thought we were having a great time. And you had that little cat nap, you should be good for a couple more hours, Deeks.

Deeks: It’s be a long day, lots of action and stress.

Kensi: And we’ll be a mess in the morning if we stay out too late. *gestures with her thumb and cackles* You should see this one when he doesn’t get his beauty sleep. It’s not a pretty sight.

Deeks, side eyeing her: Thanks, babe.

Sam, waving his hand: Aw, leave them along, I’m sure they have things to do.

Callen, coughing into his hand: Very special things.

Fatima: What? Oh. *her eyes widen* Oh. Right. Um, then you guys have a good night.

Sabatino, chuckling: Oh man, I’m glad my room isn’t next to yours.

Watching NCIS LA rn. Am I the only one who thinks this guy is really hot??

"If you were my partner, I'd end up falling for you. Hard. Then what would I do? Good partners are hard to find. I need someone I can trust to have my back. I wouldn't want to lose that. On the other hand, you'd also be the person I cared about more than anyone else in the world. And I'd never want to see you in jeopardy. So you couldn't possibly be my partner. It's a dilemma." Vostanik Sabatino to Kensi Blye (NCIS Los Angeles)

After that scene I ended up falling for him. I should never start watching NCIS Los Angeles: S04E17 'Wanted'.

[glenncoco4]

Surprisingly I really like Fatima and Sabatino pairing.

[bullet-prooflove]

This gives me such Sabatino vibes. He comes home from a mission with the CIA, can't stand not to be touching you for one more minute. He has you pinned, hands above your head as he fucks you slowly, making sure you know exactly how he feels.

New Sabatino pics? If not, Noise annoying Sabatino maybe 👉👈

Sabatino it is.

This Italian's personal enemy is a certain chipper piece of Pizza named Coriander. Again, this is a very old story, so pardon my vagueness-

Companion piece to A Sight For Sore Eyes - You and Nik reunite on a dusty road in Iraq.

You’ve forgotten what it’s like to be around Sabatino. In L.A when you work cases together he’s still Nik, Sabatino takes a backseat but here in Iraq, there’s no space for the man you love, there’s just the diligent soldier. This is how he copes, you realise as you watch him hold court. He locks away all the things that make him Nik, he becomes another person. You understand now what he means when he says that he lost himself for a couple of years, he lost touch with Nik and became Sabatino.

You’ve forgotten how capable he is, how controlled he is. Sabatino’s contingency plans have continency plans which comes in extremely handy when the mobile command unit is attacked by ISIS insurgents. You’ve been in a lot of fire fights over the years but none with him, none like this. It’s in this instance you get a true sense of his Sabatino’s nature and it occurs to you that this is the reason The Agency can’t let him go, Sabatino is far too valuable to them because he adapts to every situation with a calmness that borders on pathological.

The odds aren’t in your favour, you know that, he knows that. It doesn’t matter how many contingencies he has, you’re at a precipice, every single one of you staring down the barrel of  a gun. You’re crouched beside him, taking cover and trying to reload your weapon when he reaches out and squeezes your hand. You tilt your head up to meet his gaze and you see a flash of Nik right there in front of you.

“I love you,” he says fiercely, his mouth covering yours and in that moment you feel the force of it. His love, his adoration, it intermingles with the violence in the air.

This could be the last time, the last kiss and Nik he’s making a promise, he’s going to fight for the two of you, he’s going to hold on as long as he can.

You feel the moment he slips back into Sabatino. He pulls away and his expression hardens. He checks the remaining bullets in the assault rifle before he takes up position, covering the door.

“When I give the signal.” He tells you as he looks down the scope of the weapon. “I want you to run.”

Sabatino: So…how’s it going, Deeks?

Deeks: Oh, are we on good terms again? Alrighty. Well, I’m not going to lie, it’s been hard since Kensi left.

Sabatino: Oh man, I didn’t know. That’s rough, but I had a feeling it wouldn’t last between you two.

Deeks, pursing his lips: Kensi left, for a week-long conference.

Sabatino, clearly embarrassed: Oh.

Deeks: What did you think I meant?

Sabatino: Nothing! You and Kensi are fantastic together. It’s just that working in this field, the long hours and stress, you know, it’s hard on lots of couples. You two are actually a great example of managing a relationship while working for NCIS.

Deeks, arms crossed: Uh-huh.

Sabatino: This is really awkward, isn’t it?

Deeks: Yep.

Sabatino: I’m just going to go…over there and pretend this never happened.

Deeks: That works for me. *after he’s out of earshot* I knew there was a reason I still didn’t like him.

A/N: Post mustachioed and ponytailed Sabatino.

Seeing this makes me realize how much he looks like Manny Perez (Kevin Alejandro) in Fire Country!

I wish there was a bigger Fire Country fandom here 🫣🥺
