Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
Spencer Reid stumbled from the passenger's side of the car, having begged Garcia to drive him here, despite the fact that he was drunk. He couldn't take it anymore- he was in love and he had to say it. He had lost the man once already – the reason for his drunken stupor – and he knew it was a likely possibility again, but he had to try.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
"Woah there, g-man," Penelope said with a slight chuckle as she shut the driver's door and grabbed hold of Spencer's elbow before he fell. She helped him up the driveway, but he knocked on the door himself.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
The door began to open and – true to her word – Garcia smiled at the house's owner and walked back to the car to wait. Spencer's heart began to race; he couldn't believe he was about to do this. He had known the man for years and had always loved him, but never felt brave enough to tell him, even during their relationship. His inability to say it had caused their break-up and he hated himself for it.
Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
"Reid? What are you doin' here, pretty boy?" Spencer looked up into Derek Morgan's beautiful chocolate eyes and immediately lost his ability to speak. He had forgotten how beautiful Derek's eyes were. "Spencer? Are you drunk?"
"I needed to see your face," he mumbled, looking down at his Converse-covered feet. "I think about you all the time- I can't get you out of my head actually- and I wish I hadn't said those things to you and I'm so sorry and I guess I just wanted to know if you thought about me, too. I hear your voice everywhere I go – not like that – and I think about what you would do in situations and I just- I just missed you. This was stupid, I should go."
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
Derek grabbed Spencer's arm before he could move beyong turning around. Spencer turned back immediately and Derek could tell by his furrowed brow that he was confused.
"Don't go runnin' away from me just when I got you back," Derek said, his voice lower than normal. Struck with a moment of courageousness, Spencer lunged forward and sealed his mouth against Derek's. Contrary to what he believed would happen, Derek didn't push him away. Instead, the darker man wrapped his arms around the genius's waist and pulled him flush against his own body.
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
"You have no idea how long I've waited to hear you say what you just said," Derek mumbled against Spencer's lips before pressing his own against them again. "God, I missed you, pretty boy." Spencer whimpered when Derek pulled away completely. He gripped Derek's T-shirt in his hands as Derek waved to Penelope, signaling that she could leave. Her car rumbled away and he pulled his lover inside the house.
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
"Derek?" Morgan turned to Spencer to find him curled up on the couch.
"What, baby?"
"Thank you for not rejecting me," he whispered, looking down at the couch. Derek was kneeling in front of the younger man in three strides, taking his face in his hands and forcing his love to look at him.
"I will never reject you, Spencer. Not ever. Do you hear me?" Spencer nodded, leaning forward to kiss Derek again. "I'm sorry I never said it. So very sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" Derek's eyes twinkled as he smiled.
"I think I can come up with a few ways for you to make it up to me," he said seductively. Spencer's face lit up and he hugged the older man as tightly as he could.
"Good," he said triumphantly, "because I absolutely adore you. I love everything about you, but most importantly, I love you."
