This is my first Criminal Minds Fanfic and I honestly don't know why, Ive been watching the show since it began. I don't own Criminal Minds nor any of the characters. Anyways, its JJ/Morgan centric but of course the other team members are in it too. Rated T for now, may change to R if I add any smut. Lets just say that Will and Henry never existed because that would be a lot easier on me.
It had been a long weekend for Morgan; the team went out for drinks after a case on Friday, and he went out with his buddies for his one friends bachelor party on Saturday night. So to say the least, the weekend was full of booze and when he woke up Monday morning he could definitely feel a massive headache coming on. Regretfully he unlocked his phone and started to read the texts JJ had just sent him about a case they're all leaving for later that afternoon. After he read the most recent conversation, he read further up, from Friday and Saturday night. Seeing the texts brought a flood of memories rushing back and he suddenly dreaded work today, thinking back to Friday night Morgan began to get ready for work.
"Next rounds on me!" Garcia shouted, leaving the team's booth heading to the bar to get more shots for everyone.
It had been a long case and they were out of town for almost a whole week, so to say that they all needed a break was an understatement.
"I think Garcia is trying to get us all drunk." Emily slurred out.
"Well I think we all deserve a good night out, I mean, after this week, we deserve time off." Morgan laughed along with Emily.
"Ah, don't get too comfortable with that idea, I expect to see you all at work Monday morning." Hotch piped in.
"Well no matter the amount of drinks any of us has tonight, the alcohol should be worn off by Monday morning, so don't worry. We'll be there." Reid said as he grabbed another shot from Garcia who just returned.
Everyone seemed to be enjoying each other's small-talk as the front door of the bar opened revealing a freezing cold JJ rushing over to the table. Morgan couldn't help but stare, theres just always been something about her, he thought to himself as she headed their way.
"Sorry guys, I had to finish my paperwork and I didn't want to wait until Monday." JJ said as she took her seat in between Morgan and Emily.
"You look freezing angle!" Garcia said as she pushed two shot glasses full of tequila towards JJ.
"Well its 20 degrees outside and all I have is my sweater." JJ said as she gladly took the shots from her crazy friend and quickly downed both shots definitely attracting stares from her coworkers. They all knew it had been a tough case on JJ so none of them said anything. "Okay im going to get me some whisky," JJ said, already feeling the affect of the shots on her, as she stood up to go to the bar, "Do any of you need anything?"
"No thank you, I'm actually going to head out and see Jack before he goes to sleep." Hotch said as he put on his jacket.
"And Im his ride so looks like Im going too." Rossi said as he got up as well.
"Wow, I get here and everyone leaves." JJ joked as she made her way to the bar.
"Im going to help JJ, see you guys on Monday." Morgan said as he waved to his bosses and quickly followed the tipsy blonde. Leaving Reid, Garcia, and Prentiss at the table.
"Derek Morgan, are you stalking me?" JJ slurred out, obviously I cant handle my alcohol tonight, she thought to herself.
"Just helping you with the drinks Jayje." Morgan chuckled out.
"Well aren't you just the gentleman of the day." JJ smiled as she turned around
"Hey honey, can I buy you a drink?" Some random guy said as he came up behind JJ.
"Sorry, I already ordered some for me and my friends, maybe next round." She kindly turned the guy down and faced Morgan again.
"Come on, baby." He said as he placed his hand on her arm, causing her to jump and Morgan to step in front of her.
"Its actually Agent, and she said no thank you." Morgan said as he pressed JJs back on his chest and held her protectively against him with his hands on her waist.
"Oh I see, you guys are together?" The guy asked, obviously annoyed that JJ wouldn't take his offer.
"No actually-.." Morgan was cut off by JJ.
"Yeah we are, sorry." She said as she placed her hands on top of Morgans and backed into him harder. JJ blushed as she heard a low moan escape Morgans parted lips.
The guy quickly left after JJ 'admitted' that she and Morgan were a couple. Unlike the guy who quickly left JJ and Morgan made no quick attempts at separating their bodies, something just felt right. As they waited for their drinks, they stayed in the exact same position. The only time and movement was made was when a good song came on, JJ started to sway her hips making her backside rub against Morgan earing another low growl. Maybe it was the booze or maybe it was them just giving into the feelings they've always secretly had for each other but they ignored the stares from their coworkers and kept dancing.
"Ms. Jareau, your drinks." The bartender said as he pushed her tray of shots toward her and Morgan.
The two quickly separated and reached for the tray of drinks. They made their way back throught the crowd towards their table and passed out the drinks respectively. "I think Im actually going to head out guys." JJ said as she grabbed her purse and put her sweater back on.
"No Jayje, you cant leave yet, its just the youngsters left now, no Hotch or Rossi." Garcia stated sadly.
"I know but I had a really long day and after all that paperwork, I just want to get inmy bed and sleep till Monday." JJ chuckled.
Morgan just kept staring at her, he wasn't even listening to what excuse she was saying for heading home. He couldn't get he out of his mind, her eyes, the way she danced, just everything. He quickly stood up and took his leather Jacket off the back of the chair and placed it on JJs shoulders.
"So youre not freezing walking back to your car." He said with a smug smile on his lips.
"Thank you." JJ said coyly as she looked up at him though her eyelashes and blushed a little.
"My pleasure." Morgan said as he headed to the bathrooms.
JJ said her goodbyes and headed out to her car as Morgan stood in line for the mens room, they were both thinking the same thing but Morgan knew that if he wanted JJ he would take his time and not rush into anything. So Morgan stayed at the bar when he really just wanted to go home with JJ and show her how much he actually wants her, because he's wanted her for a while now.
Morgan was snapped out of his flashback as he slammed his car door and began walking into the building. Man this girl has got time flying by for me and I'm not even with her, he thought. Today and the case was going to be awkward for Morgan and JJ both because of what happened on Friday night and because of the texts he was sending JJ on Saturday night from the bachelor party. He asked her multiple times to hookup and he kept telling her how gorgeous she was and how hot she made him. So yeah, to say today was going to be awkward was an understatement. Litlle did he know, JJ has all the same feelings he does.
Morgan walked into the round table room and he couldn't decide if fate was on his side or not, but the only chair left was right next to JJ. She smiled and blushed a little at him when he walked in and sat next to her. As JJ got up to present the case, their knees bumped and they both let out a gasp at the same time.
"Man this is going to be a long case." Morgan said under his breath.
