Friends with Benefits – Part One
Summary: After a night of drinking with friends, two colleagues cross the line and decide to add another element to their relationship. Keeping a secret is easy. But there's one thing they didn't think through... The BAU has no secrets.
Authors Note: I thought of this after seeing the movie 'Friends with Benefits'. So I decided to be oh so clever and name it the same thing.
Although this is a JJ/Morgan pairing, the other characters are in this story a lot. I wrote this story to see the things JJ and Morgan will go through once they add this to their relationship. It's rated 'M' for the sex that will take place in it and language.
I understand a JJ/Morgan pairing doesn't appeal to everyone, so if you don't like the pairing please either put up with it or don't read it. Whichever you choose, although, I wouldn't mind you sticking around to read this! If you don't like the idea of them 'hooking up', then skip over those parts.
I posted this a really long time ago, if you already read that, this part's plot is the same, I just revised it A LOT. So please read it regardless of if you read it before. The next chapter changes a LOT more though.
Here's the banner, check it out! (It's a different one from the other one.)

"I've come to terms with the fact that all guys are assholes." JJ said with a nod as she took a sip of her beer, she was a little intoxicated, but not nearly as much as Emily and Spencer, who were both in another room passed out. Spencer being in Derek's room and Emily being in the guest room. There was no question they were both drunk. Emily decided to play a little practical joke on Spencer and added a couple extra shots of alcohol in his drink. In the 6 years they've worked together, they have never actually seen Dr. Spencer Reid drunk. Maybe a little tipsy, but never drunk. On the other hand, Spencer has seen all of them drunk. So, it was the perfect plan. Luckily for them, the little genius didn't even notice. Derek raised an eyebrow at JJ as she looked over at him. "Let me rephrase that," she said as she opened her mouth. "All the guys I've dated." she corrected, with the emphasis on I've, because Derek Morgan was certainly not an asshole. Derek nodded in agreement to that statement.
"I like the sound of that better." he said as he leaned forward to set his beer on the table. The reason JJ brought it up was because they were watching a show where a guy was just caught cheating on his girlfriend. JJ had no tolerance for guys that cheat on girls, or cheaters in general. Derek agreed, too. He didn't like the idea of a cheater. "And it depends on why they're assholes," Derek then mentioned, he didn't know a lot about JJ's ex's, or JJ's past relationships for that matter.
"Either they don't understand my job consumes most of my life or they just wanna get in my pants." JJ explained. "I mean, I usually don't complain with that part," she said, honestly. Partly because of the alcohol in her system, well, mostly because of the alcohol in her system. "But I don't have enough time to get to know the dude because of work." Derek nodded in agreement, that's usually why he doesn't have a girlfriend, regardless of what everyone else thinks. "Then there are the ones that get too clingy. Like Harold, oh my god," JJ said with a groan. "He wouldn't stop calling me! I swear to god he was a virgin when I met him." The conversation wasn't awkward for either of them, they've known each other for long enough and have been friends long enough to talk about sex. The funny thing was, there was no way they'd talk about this if JJ was sober. She gets up-tight about the conversation. Derek, on the other hand, could care less.
"Harold?" Derek asked with his eyebrows raised. "First of all, you don't date a Harold." Derek explained to her as he put his hands out. "Regardless of how hot he is. That name has virgin tattooed all over it." JJ raised her eyebrows.
"And you know this because of his name...?" she asked slowly.
"No, I know this because if he had sex before, he would use his middle name or ask to be called somethin' different." he told her, JJ gave him a blank stare.
"Bullshit." JJ said bluntly, a smile crossed Derek's face, mostly because JJ's blunt tone was funny. The only other time he's really heard her curse so bluntly was another time she was drunk, and she yelled at Emily. Every other word was the 'f' word. No one even remembers why she was yelling or what she was yelling about. All they knew was she was bombed at the time.
"It's true." he answered with a laugh. JJ gave him a 'yeah right' look and he chuckled again as he looked down. "Well, my real name is Tim, Tim isn't much of a ladies man name, is it? That's why I changed my name to Derek." he told her, JJ shook her head.
"You're just saying that 'cuz you're drunk." JJ said as she took a sip of beer, then added. "Besides, I dated a Tim and he cheated on me with a gorgeous model."
"Then he's an idiot." Derek told her straight up. "And I'm not drunk." he slipped in, JJ rolled her eyes. Completely disregarding his comment about him not being drunk.
"It was 2 years ago. Half of it's probably my fault because I was never around. But who really gives a fuck? I've gotta a great job, I've got great friends and right now I've got booze. I'm livin' the life." she said, as she held her hands up, Derek chuckled.
"Well said." he said as he tipped his bottle towards her and took a sip. JJ smiled and looked at the TV, then groaned.
"Ugh, I miss sex." she said as she hung her head over the back of the couch, Derek nodded in agreement as he stared at the TV where two people where now making out on the bed, which would be completely awkward if they weren't drunk, for JJ. Usually when they're watching a movie Spencer's there and Derek cracks a joke about Spencer's sex life during a scene like that. Which would be an icebreaker for everyone.
"I miss sex too." Derek nodded, JJ raised her eyebrows and looked at him. He felt her looking at her and raised his eyebrows as he turned his head. "What?" he asked with a small chuckle.
"You have sex all the time!" she exclaimed.
"I know..." Derek defended. "But it's nothin' special." he shrugged.
"Do you expect there to be bag pipes playing?" she didn't realize how stupid it sounded, once again, blame the booze. Derek just looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"That's your definition of special?" he asked her.
"No, but you know what I mean." JJ said with a shrug, taking a sip of beer. Derek chuckled and nodded, understanding what she meant. "What I need is someone I know well enough, that wont get too attached, that can be in my bed when I need them to be and that wont stop talking to me afterwords. Just plain and simple." JJ thought aloud.
"I don't know if I'd wanna see them afterwords, it always gets awkward when I see chick I've banged at the mall or somethin'." he said, thinking about how weird it is. JJ gave him a blank stare.
"It depends on the person." she said to him. "I just hate hooking up with random guys. It feels sleazy." JJ said as she took another sip of beer.
"I don't feel sleazy when I do it." Derek said with a shrug.
"It's different for guys." JJ explained, even though Derek did know where she was going with it. "Once a guys heard about how many one night stands a girls had, they're automatically a slut." she said, Derek sighed.
"Well, good thing you don't have a bunch of one night stands then." he said with a shrug, JJ looked at him and laughed because of the way he said it. "That's just the way most guys are. But we come around..." he paused. "... eventually." he told her, JJ smirked and looked at the TV. After the two people on the TV were done having sex, they got dressed and left, JJ took another sip of beer as she watched and let out a sigh.
"Why can't it be that simple?" she said, Derek looked at her, he was kind of curious as to what she meant.. "Sex is a physical act." she said as she looked at him. "You do it, then you're done. You don't have to worry about the complications of a relationship." she shrugged, Derek nodded.
"I know what you mean," he said, then pointed at her. "And before you say something about the chicks I've hooked up with, I haven't actually hooked up with a chick in a while."
"Derek, you were talking about a perfect tenlast week." JJ said, Derek thought.
"Okay, before that." JJ raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "I swear. I didn't have sex for a couple months actually." he told her, JJ nodded.
"Is that why you've been to work on time?" she joked, Derek glared at her.
"Nice joke. I'm hardly late." he said, JJ smiled to herself. "Anymore." he slipped in. JJ nodded with a 'mhm' because she was right. Derek rolled his eyes. "That's besides the point. It gets boring goin' to bars and pickin' up girls." he said, JJ didn't believe him, and he could tell by her facial expression. "It does." he defended.
"Fine, I believe you." JJ said as she looked at the TV. "Can we change this now? I'm sick of watching people have sex and cheating on each other. I mean no life is like a freakin soap opera." she said, Derek chuckled as he changed the channel. "Is there any movie or show on at 1 am that doesn't have two people having sex on it?" JJ asked, every channel Derek changed the TV to, it was either two people making out, having a romantic moment or having sex. Derek chuckled and shrugged.
"Guess not." he said as he turned the TV off, JJ stood up. "We can keep talking about sex though," he joked as he watched her stand up, then asked, "Where are you goin'?"
"To get another beer, is that a crime?" she asked as she walked in the kitchen. JJ put the empty bottle on the counter and opened the fridge to an empty cardboard box with 6 slots for the beer bottles. "Apparently it is when there's none left." she said as she picked up the card board box and thew it in the garbage. "And I'll only keep talking about sex if you tell me why dudes don't think foreplay is important. I mean, you can't just stick it in and hope it works." JJ said as she started looking for something else to drink in the fridge, preferablyalcoholic. Derek chuckled.
"There's a bottle of wine in the cabinet," he told her as he stood up. JJ looked at the cabinets in front of her, thinking there were so many to choose from and that it was impossible to pick one. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly as Derek walked in and opened the right cabinet, knowing she was going to ask. "Most guys are selfish, Jayje. But now me? I'm not. I make sure the girl is ready to go." he said smoothly, JJ laughed as he handed her the bottle of wine and cork screw.
"Good to know," JJ said sarcastically. "Because I'll totally need to know that for the future." she said as the cork popped. Derek laughed and nodded.
"You never know JJ. Things happen." he joked and grabbed two wine glasses. She shook her head and rolled her eyes as she poured the wine in the glasses. "Whoa, that's more than enough." he said as she put the bottle on the counter. "These are pretty big wine glasses." he said, JJ mistakenly poured more than she should have in his. Her's was filled half way, but his was filled two-thirds of the way.
"Big enough for your big mouth." she said with a smirk as she grabbed hers and took a sip then walked to the living room to take her seat back on the couch. If she were sober, she would not say something that stupid. Derek chuckled to himself and shook his head.
"I was thinking the same thing about yours." he broadcasted as he followed close behind her, JJ made him a face as he chuckled and took a sip. With Derek being effected by the beers before, and a wine glass being filled more than he's used to, he poured a bit too much in his mouth, causing some to slip down the side of his mouth and get on his shirt.
"So close." she commented as he looked down at his shirt and groaned.
"Hey, I wouldn't be talking if I where you. Miss pour coffee down your shirt." Derek said as he stood up and put the glass on the table and stood up.
"I was talking to Hotch and I wasn't paying attention at all." JJ defended as she took a sip of the wine. Even though it's happened more than once, Derek didn't have to know that minor detail.. But unfortunately, he saw the worst. She missed her mouth completely and down went the coffee on her white shirt, which meant her light blue bra was the highlight of the day. Derek chuckled as he shook his head and looked down at his shirt. He debated on what he should do, but only for a moment before he pulled his shirt off, JJ looked up at him as she took a long sip of her wine.
"At least it's a black shirt." he said with a shrug as he put threw the shirt on the back of a chair and walked over to grab a fresh shirt from his go-bag that he had put on the floor on their way in his house later that night.
"Convenient." JJ mumbled in a low voice, before taking a sip of wine as he looked through the bag.
"What?" Derek asked, he stood up with a shirt in his hands as he looked at her. He didn't hear what she said, but knew she said something. JJ shook her head as she put the wine glass down and stood up. "What's wrong?" he asked her, JJ shook her head again.
"I have to go home." she told him, Derek raised his eyebrows. He knew she couldn't. She was clearly drunk and she knew that too but she was just thinking of any possible excuse to get out of the house.
"Now? Why?" he asked quickly.
"I just remembered I have to feed my cat." she said as she looked up at him, then made a face to show how stupid that comment was, she didn't even have a cat.
"What? JJ, you don't have a cat." Derek said, JJ let out a sighed. He was starting to get slightly worried with her behavior.
"I know... I just..." JJ said as she looked around, her thoughts were racing and she felt scatter-brained. She looked up at him and just bluntly said, "I wanna have sex." she told him, Derek's eyes slightly widened.
"What?" he asked, he wasn't sure if he was hearing her right, and even if he was, he still didn't fully understand what she meant.
"I wanna have sex with you." she said bluntly again as she looked at him, Derek just looked at her with her eyes slightly widened, he didn't know what to say. The alcohol in his system wasn't allowing him to concentrate on why she would say that and he couldn't use his profiling skills at the moment. JJ shut her eyes and made another face, realizing what she just said. "What? No, I'm sorry! I don't know why I said that..." she said as she turned away and put her head in her hand as she shook her head.
"Why?" Derek asked her, he was more focused on why she said that then her apology at that moment. JJ looked at him with a confused facial expression. "Why did you say that? Alcohol and hormones aside." he asked her, he wanted to know the real reason. JJ just gave him a blank stare for a minute, did she know why? She shook her head, thinking that it didn't, she was just stupid and didn't know what she was doing. Then she looked back up at him.
"Because it makes sense." she said, it just slowly started making sense in her head as she turned to her right and took a step. "I mean, I don't want to hook up with a random person that I don't know and you're tired of hooking up with random people. We both work way to much to have a relationship, regardless of if we want one or not. And we've known each other for nearly 6 years. Don't get me wrong, but doesn't that make sense?" she asked as she looked at him, Derek thought, usually it may not take him this long to think about it, but he was at a slight disadvantage. JJ didn't know why she was being so hopeful as she looked at him, but it kind of did make sense...
"What if we were to... have sex... would it be a one time thing or will it keep going?" he asked, it did feel weird to say that for him and he couldn't believe this conversation was going on. He knew that if they were sober it most likely wouldn't be.
"We'll stick to tonight for now..." JJ told him, Derek nodded slowly as he stared off, thinking about it. "Derek, we can handle just about anything. Who says we can't handle one night?" she convinced him, Derek looked at her and nodded. She was pretty convincing, and it did make sense. It was just one night; he could handle it.
"Alright."
(I got the fact that Derek's real name is 'Tim' from 'Criminal Minds Wikia'. I am not 100% sure that's actually his real name, but it fit in with their conversation. Oh, and don't forget to review :])
