Hello! I am back with another Criminal Minds fanfic. This will be a series of oneshots of the members of the BAU participating in various shenanigans! These oneshots will be set around seasons four and five because those were my favorite seasons from the show. These are meant to be humorous and lighthearted. I hope you all enjoy reading this!
Warning: slight out of characterness...just slight. *winks*
I do not own Criminal Minds.
Chapter 1: Who knew Reid was ticklish?
Garcia yawned as she made her way into the break room. She needed coffee, and she needed it now. Upon entering the break room, she spotted her favorite boy genius also getting the sweet nectar that gave life to the entire team.
"What is that, your fifth cup of coffee?" she teased.
Reid rolled his eyes. After working with the team as long as he had, he was definitely used to them commenting on his coffee intake.
"You're so funny, Garcia," he muttered sarcastically.
He turned back to his coffee and started adding an insane amount of sugar to the already caffeinated beverage. Garcia widened as she saw how much sugar Reid was putting in his coffee.
"You might want to add less sugar, Boy Wonder. We can't have you bouncing all around Quantico on a sugar rush," she commented as she poked him teasingly in the side.
Since he was caught off guard, Reid let out a giggle as Garcia poked him. He immediately tensed as he felt Garcia staring him down. Against his better judgement, he faced the bubbly technical analyst. He regretted that instantly. Her eyes practically bulged out of their sockets and an evil grin was slowly starting to grow on her face.
"It couldn't be possible that a certain genius is ticklish, could it?" she asked in a mischievous tone.
Reid made the mistake of stammering as he tried to come up with an explanation for why he had laughed. Of course, this only confirmed Garcia's suspicions. She poked at him experimentally, and he desperately tried to defend himself from her attacks.
"You so are!" she laughed triumphantly, "Just wait until Morgan finds out about this! He still hasn't gotten you back yet!"
Reid froze at the mention of Morgan. Just last week, he gave Morgan a heart attack by hiding a fake snake in one of the drawers in his desk. Morgan hadn't done anything for revenge yet. Reid realized that he was absolutely screwed. He bolted from the break room. Garcia continued to laugh as she went to go find Morgan. This was most certainly going to be an interesting day.
*later that day*
Hotch sighed as he made his way to the storage closet. He ran out of paperclips for his desk and had to go find more. Luckily, various office supplies could be found in the storage closet. He opened the door and froze when he saw Reid sitting on the closet floor and doing his paperwork on a clipboard. His youngest agent was so engrossed in his paperwork that he didn't notice that the door had been opened. Hotch cleared his throat, successfully gaining the attention of the young genius.
"Oh...uhm...hello, sir," Reid stammered, kind of embarrassed.
"Reid, do I want to know why you're hiding in the storage closet?" Hotch asked.
"Honestly, you probably don't."
Hotch shrugged. Reid was probably right, and as long as he completed his paperwork, he didn't really care. He grabbed the paperclips that he came for and shut the door to the closet. Reid continued doing his paperwork until it was all complete. He had managed to do all of his work for the day without running into Morgan or Garcia. Now all he had to do was submit his paperwork and then he would be safe...at least until tomorrow, but he would worry about that later.
He slowly opened the closet door and poked his head out. No sign of Morgan. Unfortunately, he would have to somehow sneak through the bullpen to get to Hotch's office. As quietly and as quickly as he could, he made it to the bullpen. Looking around, he noticed that the only other agent there was Prentiss. He glanced at Hotch's office. It looked as if he had a clear path. He took a deep breath and started to walk through the bullpen. He had only made it a couple of steps when he was tackled to the ground and his paperwork flew everywhere. After a few seconds of struggle, Morgan was straddling Reid, and Reid was looking absolutely terrified.
"Payback!" Morgan declared with a huge grin on his face and an evil glint in his eyes.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Prentiss asked.
The commotion had interrupted her doing her own paperwork. Although if she was honest with herself, she didn't mind the distraction. She hated doing paperwork with a passion.
"As it turns out, Pretty Boy here is a little ticklish."
"You've got to be kidding!" Prentiss exclaimed.
Morgan just nodded. Reid thought he might be saved as JJ walked out of her office. Prentiss perked up.
"JJ, did you know that Reid is ticklish?" she asked.
"I actually did," she answered as she kept walking, honestly not surprised at the scene in the bullpen, "Morgan, it might interest you to know that he's most ticklish around his ribs."
Reid's eyes widened.
"Why would you tell him that? I thought you were my friend, JJ!" Reid squeaked.
His question went unanswered as JJ walked into Hotch's office and shut the door. Morgan looked to Prentiss.
"Want to help me out?" he asked her.
Without even hesitating, she joined the two on the ground. She held Reid's arms over his head so Morgan would have better access to his ribs.
"Please don't!" Reid begged, but his plea fell on deaf ears as Morgan immediately started tickling him.
Reid tried to keep his mouth shut, but eventually fell into a laughing fit.
"M-Morgan stop! This-haha-is so-haha-childish!" he managed around his involuntary laughter.
"And putting a fake snake in my desk wasn't?" he questioned with an eyebrow raised.
His fingers moved more quickly along Reid's sides, causing him to laugh even harder. Reid tried to beg him to stop, but found that wasn't able to talk. He could barely even breathe for that matter. Morgan and Prentiss eventually started laughing. It wasn't very often that they saw their youngest teammate laugh so much, even if it was involuntary. When Reid's face started turning red from not being able to breathe, Morgan let up on his tickle attack. It took a few seconds for Reid to process that Morgan had stopped.
When the door to Hotch's office opened again, Morgan and Prentiss hurried to their desks. Reid remained on the ground, curled on his side and gasping for air. Hotch walked out into the bullpen and stood over the young agent.
"Reid, is there any particular reason you're on the floor and your paperwork is scattered everywhere?" he asked.
Reid stole a quick glance at Morgan, who in return was giving him a look that said if he told Hotch anything, he would do it again. Before Reid could give him a response, Hotch spoke again.
"Is this something else that I probably don't want to know about?" he asked, remembering Reid hiding in the closet earlier that day.
"Probably," Reid responded.
Hotch looked at Morgan and Prentiss, who looked a little too innocent. He just shook his head and returned to his office. His team could definitely be strange at times.
Well, there's the first oneshot! I hope you guys found humor in it and enjoyed reading it! Let me know what you think!
