"God," Spencer Reid groaned. "Why did I do agree to that!"

Remembering the evening before, Spencer blushed a deep red. His mind recalling the entire conversation.

-FLASHBACK-

Agent Derek Morgan and Spencer Reid were enjoying a movie at Derek's house after a particularly rough case for the whole team. During the case, the killer, Bryan Carter, had been kidnapping and killing high school kids, eventually the team found the connection between the victims.

The victims were the children of the people who teased and tormented Bryan through out his high school years. That case struck a nerve with Reid knowing that he could relate to Bryan's feelings. After the case had been solved and the killer had been caught, Derek could tell Reid was stressing about relating to the unsub.

Debating on what to do Derek decided to invite him over to try and take his mind off work for a little while. After some dinner and beers, they decided to settle down on the couch and watch some TV.

"Well I don't know what kind of shows you like to watch but we can channel surf and…" Derek started to chuckle at Reid's "Staring off into space" look he often got.

"Reid! Reid! Spencer!" Derek finally shouted, snapping his fingers in front of Reid's face. He watched with an amused look when he saw the way the younger man's face blushed.

"What?" Spencer answered, his face flushing red.

Derek laughed at the embarrassed man. "I've been trying to get your attention for the last five minutes, is everything alright, Pretty boy?"

Spencer looked up and when he saw Morgan's face, and remembered what he had been thinking about before. His feelings for Derek, they were feelings he had been trying to deny for several months and every time he looked at his face and his gorgeous smile they would rush to the surface.

He wanted to tell him everything he was feeling, he wanted Morgan to know how much he thought about him, how much he worried about him when they were in the field, and most importantly how much he loved him. He knew he couldn't tell him his true feelings, it would ruin the walls Spencer had carefully built around himself over years of denial and hurt.

Thinking about all these feelings made him uncomfortable and he started to fidget, suddenly realizing how close Derek was sitting to him. He could feel his arm touching his and he started to imagine what it would feel like if Derek's hand was caressing his face or holding his hand. Blushing a deep shade of red, Spencer jumped up off the couch and started to grab his things.

"Whoa there! You okay, Pretty boy? You look flushed." Derek commented while standing in front of him. The darker man's eyes were narrowed at Spencer, daring him to try and lie.

Spencer wondered if Derek realized that one step forward could close the gap between their lips and-

Blushing even harder at his thoughts he shrugged his shoulder's and looked up at Derek. "Y-yeah, I'm fine Der-Morgan I don't feel that good, so I was going to head out.."

Spencer stopped talking at the concerned look Derek was giving him.

"You sure Pretty Boy..? I mean, you to know you can tell me anything, right?"

Spencer could tell Derek's concern for him was sincere and he couldn't help the warm feeling that he got in his stomach. Suddenly realizing he was staring, Spencer awkwardly cleared his throat and said the first thing that came to mind.

"I, uhh, well, it's kind of hard to explain there's just this person that occupies my mind a lot lately.."

Derek gave him a look of total understanding and then got a wicked gleam in his eye's.

"Um, Morgan? What's that look for?"

"Pretty boy! Why didn't you tell me?" Derek asked laughing, his face lighting up at the idea of Spencer Reid having a crush.

Spencer started blushing again. "Well I didn't think it was a big dea-…"

"What! Of course it is, my Pretty boy has got his eye on a Pretty lady, eh?" Derek questioned, his lip's quirking up into a smile.

Spencer tried not to dwell on the fact that he said "My Pretty boy", but he couldn't help feel the little slice of hope blooming inside him.

"Are you going to ask her on a date?" Derek asked, his face a mask of seriousness.

"Oh, no! I've never even been on a date myself I wouldn't know the rules of dating.."

Derek got a mischievous look in his eye's and smiled down at Reid.

"Well, you just need a practice date with the ladies man, which would be myself," Derek said confidently.

"W-what? You mean like a fake d-date with you?"

Spencer could feel his heart start to speed up at the mere thought of going on a date with Derek Morgan. Everyone knew Derek was an expert at "woo-ing" people.

"That is exactly what I mean, Pretty boy. How about tomorrow at seven o'clock at the new Italian restaurant down the street from me?"

"Umm, O-Okay. I guess I'll see you tomorrow night then," Spencer answered, his hand's clenching at his sides.

Walking Reid to the door, Derek whispered in his ear, "Wear something fancy." With a wink and wave Spencer was left standing outside, his mind racing at what tomorrow evening would bring.

0o0o

On the drive home, he started to think about what he was going to do..should he call and cancel? No, he works with profilers, Derek would see right through his lie. In the end he decided he would just go through with the "date", but he would keep reminding himself that it wasn't real and Derek couldn't possibly return his feelings. After his routine shower he got in bed, put his phone on his nightstand, and started to think about Derek Morgan the person, who stole his heart.
