A/N This is my first Criminal Minds story I took my other story down because I didn't know where to take the plot. So be patient with me. This is a Reid story but I want to try to incorporate all the characters. The time line is after Jones. Please read and review.
Chapter 1
Tap,Tap,Tap Spencer Reid's long finger steadily tapped on his desk. His morning cup of sugar with coffee long forgotten on his desk and even though he looked down he was not focused on the file in front of him. Someone slowly walked up to his desk.
"Morning Reid" said Derek Morgan as he slapped a hand on his desk
Reid almost fell out of his chair which caused him to knock the file on the floor and Morgan to laugh harder than he already was. Reid just glare at him and bent down to pick the file.
"Alright what's got you so preoccupied that you didn't hear me walk up?" asked Morgan his voice slightly amused
Reid just continued to pick up the papers.
"Reid … man what's wrong" Morgan asked voice full of concern
Morgan had been worried about Reid since Tobias abducted him. Then he missed the plane in Louisiana. What scared Morgan the most was when Reid ran. Sure Hotch told them that he just took some vacation time to clear his head. But Morgan knew that Reid was hiding something the whole team knew by his behavior that something was wrong. Reid came back three weeks later acting like same old Reid only happier. Morgan final got Reid to tell him where he went. Reid told that he went to visit Lila Archer, the young actress he saved last year, and that she helped him work out some issues. That was all he could get out of him and Reid had been extremely focused and just seemed happier since he started dating Lila, six months ago. Now the past couple days he has been unfocused and twitchy.
"Did something happen with Lila?" Morgan asked
Reid looked up at the sound of his girl friends name, and then stood up with the file with a small smile on his face.
"No" Reid answered simply but slowly reached for his pocket
For some reason that simple action made something click in Morgan head.
"Your going to ask Lila to marry you?" asked Morgan with a grin
This time Reid did miss the chair. Emily Prentiss who was walking back to her desk rushed over to him. She wasn't sure what was going on she had seen Morgan startle Reid when she went to go get a cup of coffee but now Reid was sitting on floor with a shocked look on his face and Morgan was holding himself up on Reid's desk laughing hard.
"Reid are you alright?" Prentiss asked as she held her hand out to help him up
"Fine, I'm fine Emily, thanks" he said as he turned bright red while he took her hand and pushed himself off the floor. He then turned and glared at Morgan
"What's going on?" asked Prentiss with her arms crossed over her chest as she looked at Morgan
Reid begged Morgan with his eyes not to say anything. Reid was relieved when he heard Morgan sigh.
"Nothing I was just playing and I guess it got out of hand" said Morgan his face looked liked a child whose favorite toy had just been crushed
"Oh well be careful" Prentiss said with a frown as she walked back to her desk
"Ok why couldn't I tell Emily?" Morgan asked as soon as she was out of ear range
"I'm already nervous enough about how Lilas going to answer I don't need everyone else to know at least not till I ask her" Reid said softly looking at the floor.
"You think she's going to say no? Reid if she says no then she not the girl you thought she was and definitely not the girl for you" Morgan said sternly as he looked right into Reid's eyes
"How would you ask her?" asked Reid with a small smile
"Who?" asked JJ as she walked up behind Reid
"NOBODY" squeaked Reid as turned to face her
"Breathe Reid" said JJ laughing and then jumped when her phone vibrated in her pocket
JJ took out the phone to read the text message and a small content smile appeared on her face she then shut the phone and turned back towards the men
"New boyfriend?" Morgan smirked
"New case" JJ said as she handed Reid the file and smacked Morgan in the chest with his file as she headed towards the conference room.
In the Conference Room
Gideon paused at the door of the room to watch his team. JJ sat on the edge of table reading a text message smiling like there wasn't a care in the world. Reid sat at the other end of the table looking annoyed and stressed he was tapping a pencil on the table. Morgan was sitting to the side of the table whispering to Garcia who was giggling but gasped when the pencil Reid was tapping flew at Morgan's head. Morgan was unfazed and just tucked the pencil behind his ear continued his whispering. Emily sat on the other side smirking at the scene and reading the file in front of her
"What's wrong?" asked Hotch from behind Gideon
"Nothing" said Gideon as he went and sat down at the front and noticed that everyone quickly snapped back into work mode
A/N One more thing I will probable skip years to make the story smoother but I will make sure to tell you. Thanks for Reading
