Spencer Reid didn't have any sexual experience what so ever. In fact he hadn't even gotten around to kissing someone yet. A few days ago he had turned twenty-four, and he thought it just a little bit pathetic that he was still so innocent. Perhaps one day soon he would be able to get up the courage to ask out the one person he had been eyeing for over three years.

Spencer walked into the office like he did every other day, only somehow today seemed different. Everyone seemed to be looking at him different. Casually Spencer looked down at himself. Nothing was out of place, there wasn't food on his shirt, and his fly wasn't undone. Honestly he had no clue why everyone stopped to look at him. Spencer shook his head. They must be going crazy he thought. As usual he grabbed himself coffee, with a lot of sugar and started to go over to his desk when he was stopped.

"Yo! Reid!" Morgan called to him, jogging up to the coffee pot.

Spencer turned and waited.

"Have you seen yourself this morning?" Morgan asked him.

"What do you mean? I look the same as always."

"No you don't. You look determined and sexy as hell. What has you so motivated?" Morgan asked casually.

"I just decided I was tired of being the innocent one. Everyone else here has so much more experience with people then I do."

"Wait are you saying you're going to ask someone on a date?" Morgan asked shock evident in his voice.

Spencer blushed. "Maybe." He answered quietly.

"Oh ho! Pretty boy, that's great!" Morgan said excitedly.

"Don't be too excited yet. You don't know who I've decided to ask out."

"Penny? Cause I know she adores you. But then again she kind of acts like our second mom. Oh I know. JJ? She's rather fond of you. But she acts like your older sister. So that leaves Emily. And I know that you and she haven't been getting along. So through my powers of deduction I have decided I have no idea who you are asking out." Morgan deduced.

"Derek, I, that is. I..." Spencer sat his coffee down and ran to Penelope's office.

Morgan stood there staring after the young genius.

Spencer slammed the door of Penelope's office behind him. He had panicked and almost told Derek how he felt, in the middle of the coffee room. Not exactly what he had planned.

"Hun? You alright?" Penelope asked from her computer complex.

"Penny, I almost told him."

"Reid, how is that a bad thing?"

"Well it isn't. Not really. I just didn't want to blurt it out in the middle of the coffee room, like I almost did."

"Spence you just have to ask to talk to him alone. Take him to Gideon's office, then shag him wild." Penelope told him with a slight giggle.

Spencer turned an incredible shade of red. "You know I haven't even kissed someone, let alone something as graphic as that."

Morgan chose this moment to walk in. "Penny you haven't seen Reid have you?" Morgan asked looking around her office. "Oh. I seem to have found him." Morgan said turning his attention to Spencer.

Penelope motioned for Spencer to go with their plan. "I, uh, can we talk?" Spencer muttered.

Morgan nodded and they left Penelope's office, to go somewhere more private to talk. Morgan started to lead them to the bull pen, but noticed how reluctant Reid was. "Um, so where do you want to go to talk?"

"Um, since Gideon isn't here I thought we could go talk in his office." Spencer blushed.

Morgan raised a brow but nodded his agreement. They walked silently into Gideon's office.

"You okay?" Morgan asked quietly.

Spencer nodded but kept looking at his shoes. The last time he had told someone he liked them, he wound up tied naked to a goal post.

"We need to talk." Spencer said in a small voice.

"Of course baby boy, that's why we are here." Morgan told him.

"It's just the last time I did this, I was tied to a goal post."

"Reid you can talk to me about anything. I'm not those high school jocks. I actually care about you."

"I know. That's what makes this so hard." Spencer said fight back the tears.

"Hey. You can say anything to me. I could never stay mad at you." Morgan told him sincerely.

"Promise you won't hate me?"

It broke Morgan's heart to hear Spencer so broken up. "Of course I promise not to hate you."

"The person I wanted to ask out is you." Spencer said curling in on himself. His arms wrapped protectively around his torso.

Derek sighed in relief. "Was that so hard?"

Spencer continued to stare at his feet. He hadn't realized how dirty they were until now.

"Spence? You thought I would hate you because you want to go out with me?"

Spencer gave one short nod.

Derek laughed. "Spencer we can go out whenever you'd like."

Finally Spencer looked up from his shoes, a faint blush present on his pale cheeks.

"Now would you relax? It's more fun to kiss someone who is relaxed." Derek told him.

Spencer blushed even deeper.

Derek pushed him against Gideon's desk and placed a hand on either side of his face. Spencer fumbled with his hands for a moment trying to decide where to put his hands, before deciding to put them around Derek's neck. Derek smiled gently before leaning in and placing his lips tenderly against Spencer's.

This was how Spencer would always remember his first kiss. A kiss that left him breathless and wanting more, a kiss that he would always remember as the one that lead to the rest of his life, the kiss that brought him and Derek together. The kiss that Spencer Reid would cherish until the day he died.
