Disclaimer: I do not own anything "Criminal Minds" related…*sighs*

This is my first "Criminal Minds" fic, so it might not be that great. R&R though, thanks!

FIGHT

Spencer Reid didn't understand why this was happening. It seemed like lately all they did was fight about every little thing. Staying up or out to late, the station on the radio, the coffee sat too long…it didn't matter, but it caused a fight. These fights got worse every time it seemed, often ending with Spencer in tears and apologizing as if every time it was his fault. He was beginning to think it was. He wouldn't give up though he loved Derek Morgan with all his heart, and he couldn't stand the thought of losing him. He only wished Derek could see things the same way he did.

Spencer shut the cab door and began to walk through the rain to get to the apartment. The fight he and Derek had at work was about the case they were currently working. Spencer didn't see how the sentence Derek wanted for the unsub was fair. Derek was pissed, it didn't matter that the whole rest of the team backed up Spencer. Derek had gotten so mad he kicked Spencer out of the car and drove home alone, telling Spencer to get a cab.

"Dereck, what are you doing? I'm going home too, you know," Spencer said, confused when Derek locked the car door before he could open it. "Derek?"

"Get a cab, Reid," Derek spat back. "I don't feel like sitting next to you."

Spencer stood in silent shock as Derek backed up and sped off, leaving him standing in the rain. "I'm sorry," he whispered, tears forming in his eyes.

Spencer swallowed and quickly unlocked the door. He was soaking wet and shivering. He had left his coat in Derek's car and hadn't had a chance to get it earlier. He finally got into the apartment and shut the door against the wind. Sighing, he took off his wet shoes and brushed some hair out of his face. He turned and faced the seemingly empty apartment, his glance going to the picture of him and Derek on the coffee table. He smiled slightly, remembering how happy they used to be. He looked up when he heard Derek enter the room. He frowned slightly and looked at the floor. "Hey," he said quietly.

"Spence…" Derek said, hesitating for a second. He looked across the room at Spencer, frowning when he noticed that he was soaked and shaking. He sighed and walked towards him, grabbing a blanket off the couch on the way past. "You're soaked," he said, putting the blanket around Spencer.

"I left my coat in the car," Spencer replied, wrapping the blanket tighter around himself but not looking up.

Derek slumped his shoulders. "I'm sorry I drove off without you earlier, Spence. I was just…I wasn't…it doesn't matter now, I was an ass and I shouldn't have been." He reached up and stroked Spencer's cheek, which he noticed was faintly tear-streaked. He mentally kicked himself for making Reid cry again, he hated seeing him in tears. "Please forgive me, I'm sorry."

Spencer swallowed, still staring at the floor. He looked up slowly, searching Derek's eyes. They seemed truly sorry and sad. "Ok," he said quietly.

Derek nodded and pulled Spencer into a tight hug, not caring that the man was soaking wet. "My god, you're freezing, let's get you changed, ok?" He led Spencer to the bedroom and helped him change into dry clothes. Once Spencer had pulled on a dry shirt, Derek pulled him into another hug, holding him tighter than before, smiling a little when he felt Spencer wrap his arms around him as well. "Are you ok?"

Spencer nodded and pulled back from Derek. "Yeah…I think I just need some sleep." He rubbed his tired eyes and looked back at Derek.

Derek nodded sadly. He had been hoping he could spend some time with Spencer watching tv or something, but he understood that he needed his sleep. It had been a long day at work, and him getting mad at Spencer hadn't helped. "Ok."

Spencer climbed under the covers and snuggled deep into his pillow. He sighed when Derek shut off the lights and crawled in next to him. He gave a small smiled when Derek wrapped his arm around him and pulled him close. Maybe things will be better tomorrow. He closed his eyes and quickly fell into a restless sleep.

Ok, so the first chapter wasn't very long, but I'm working on it. The chapters should get longer as the story continues. Reviews are cool!
