A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first time writing a Criminal Minds story so I'm sorry if some things seem weird or out of character! I just started watching Criminal Minds about a month ago so I'm a newbie in this fandom. I fell in love with this show and Penelope/Garcia when I watched an episode of season 6 and from then on I'm obsessed with this show and especially this perfect couple! :) I'm planning on catching up with all the past seasons, I've already watch Season 1, 2 & 3 and while I was watching Season 2 Episode 12 Profiler, Profiled this idea came to my mind and it didn't go away until I wrote it. So this is what I think happened after the episode, I think this is going to be a two-shot but I'm still thinking about it! Okay I'm going to stop babbling now and let you read! I hope you like it! :)

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own anything. Criminal Minds, the gorgeous Penelope Garcia and the chocolate god Derek Morgan belong to Jeff Davis and CBS!

Chapter 1:

Penelope was sitting in Derek's desk waiting for the team to arrive from Chicago. JJ called her a few hours ago to tell her they were in their way to the airport and they would arrive at the BAU in a couple of hours so she waited for them. She needed to see her Hot Stuff, she haven't talk to him since the day before he left to Chicago for his mom's birthday and all she knew about him were the things JJ or Prentiss told her but they weren't enough, she needed to see him, to know how he was, she wanted to be there for him for whatever he needed because she knew that with the team he would act like everything was fine when it was really not. She also knew that she would be the only one he would talk to and that was if he wanted or was ready to talk because he was used to hide his feelings deep inside him and never talk about them.

She knew Derek Morgan just like she knew herself, and she knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if she didn't saw him at least for a few minutes. She needed to know he was okay or at least okay as he could be after everything that happened to him.

Penelope was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of various footsteps coming her way, she looked up and saw the team, she saw everyone, there was Reid, Prentiss, Gideon, JJ and Hotch but no Derek and she started to get worried.

"Hey Garcia, what are you still doing here?" Prentiss asked as she and JJ stopped in front of Derek's desk.

"Yes Pen, I told you to go home and get some rest"

"I couldn't leave without seeing Morgan" she said "Where is he? Where's my hot stuff?"

"Your hot stuff is on his way home" Prentiss answered "He said he would head straight home and get some rest, you should do the same"

"How is he?" she asked concerned

"He says he's fine" Prentiss said "But you know him better than us so…"

"So he's lying and I think he could use some company" JJ said "You should go see him before you head home"

Penelope nodded "I will, see you tomorrow girls" she took her purse, kissed them on the cheek and rushed out of the BAU towards her car.

The drive to Derek's apartment was short; he lived just twenty minutes away from the office. She parked in front of Derek's apartment, got out of the car and walked to the door; she took the key he have gave her a few months ago and entered to the six floor building then she took the elevator to go to Derek's apartment in the sixth floor. When the elevator doors opened she took a deep breath before walking to his door, she needed to calm down and keep her emotions in check, she would be no help if she broke down crying in his arms like she wanted since she heard the Chicago police have arrested and accused her hot stuff for murder and they thought he was a serial killer. She wanted to cry because she was frustrated that she couldn't be there for him, that she couldn't do anything to help him. She was not the type of girl who sat in a corner to cry but in that moment she couldn't help but feel that way. She took another deep breath and knocked at the door.

Seconds later she heard footsteps coming and the door opened revealing an almost half naked Derek. He seemed surprised to see her but recovered quickly "Baby girl" he smiled "What are you doing here?"

"Hot stuff" she whispered "I waited for you at the BAU but the team told me you came home and I wanted to see you, to know how you were so I came here and…"

"Shh… you're babbling, doll face" he chuckled and opened his arms "Come here" she closed the space between them and hugged him tightly; he closed his arms around her and hugged her back just as tightly. "I missed you so much baby girl" he whispered in her hair.

"I missed you too" she mumbled against his chest and then looked up "Are you okay?"

He chuckled "I'm fine" he said "Why don't you come inside and we can talk?" she nodded and pulled back from his embrace. He stepped aside and let her come inside then shut the door behind her.

They sat in his couch in the living room and Clooney came running towards her, he moved his tail happily and jumped at her. "Hi Clooney" she smiled and petted the dog.

"He loves you and I can't say he loves many people" he smiled as he sat next to her.

"He's such a cutie" she said and looked back at him "So now tell how are you and tell me the truth, you know I can always tell when you're lying"

He sighed "I'm okay baby girl" Penelope just looked at him with an expression that said 'try again' "I'm as okay as I can be, how does that sounds?"

"Want to talk about it?"

"Maybe later" Derek said

"What can I do to help you?"

"There's nothing you can do about this, Baby girl. Why don't we just stay here and watch a movie?" he asked "We haven't done that in a while"

"Sounds good hot stuff"

Penelope rest her head on Derek chest as he started searching for a movie on TV, when he finally did he left the remote control in the side table next to the couch. He put his arms around Penelope and relaxed as they watched the movie. Hours passed and they stayed like that watching movie after movie until Penelope started to feel sleepy, she knew she should go home and get some sleep and let Derek sleep too but she was so comfortable and she felt so safe and peaceful in his arms, she didn't want to move.

The next time Penelope opened her eyes she was moving, she tried to focus and realized she was in Derek's arms, he was carrying her, bridal style. She smiled and relaxed against his arms again, she kissed his cheek lightly and looked at him. "Where are you taking me?"

"To my bed, you need to rest and the couch is not the most comfortable place"

"Are you trying to take advantage of me because I'm groggy?" she asked and heard him chuckle.

"Believe me baby girl, when I finally take advantage of you, you'll be wide awake so you'll be able to remember every single thing I do to you"

She couldn't help but shiver as she heard his words and how low and deep his voice sounded. "Don't make promises you can't keep"

"Who said I was not planning on keeping them?"

For the first time in her life Penelope couldn't tell whether he was just teasing and playing with her or telling the truth, there was something in his voice she couldn't quite place. Soon he got them to his bedroom and placed her in his bed; he took her shoes off and then pulled the covers over her.

He leaned and kissed her forehead before he said "Goodnight baby girl"

"Where are you going?"

"I'm sleeping in the couch"

"No, no way" she said and moved making space for him in the bed. She patted in the space next to her "Come here, I'm not going to take the bed and let you sleep in the couch"

"It's okay sweetness"

"No, come here, there's plenty of place for us"

"Okay" he gave in "Don't you want something more comfortable?"

"Yes please" she smiled as he gave her one of his t-shirts and a pair of sweatpants. She went to the bathroom and changed her clothes; she tied her hair in a messy ponytail and went back to the room. She got into bed and snuggled closer to him, this wasn't the first time they have done this; actually they have done this a couple of times before, when one of them was too tired or drunk to go home.

She looked up and said "Good night hot stuff" she saw him smile and start to lean in and she closed her eyes waiting for him to kiss her forehead like he always did but this time he shocked her pressing her lips against hers. Her eyes fluttered open in shock as he started kissing her; she recovered from her shock as soon as she could and kissed him back. She's wanted to do this for a while now and she was going to enjoy it now that it was finally happening. He brushed his tongue against her bottom lip and she gave him access. His tongue entered her mouth and was greeted with hers, their tongues moved together lazily, exploring each other's mouths.

The kiss was slow and sleepy but sweet and after a few seconds Derek broke the kiss and smiled at her. "Good night baby girl" he mumbled before kissing her forehead.

The last thing Penelope could do right now was sleep; did he really think that she would be able to sleep after he kissed her? After he kissed her like that? She could still feel his lips moving against hers, she still had his taste in her mouth and what does it meant? Did it mean something? Was that just a friendly kiss? No, it couldn't be, friends didn't kiss like that, friends didn't kiss at all. After that she was sure she wouldn't be able to sleep all night, she had too many questions in her mind and she wanted answers.

So what do you think? Was it good/bad/great? what can i improve? Should I continue or leave it like that?
