Disclaimer: I sadly do not own any part of Criminal Minds, Reid or Morgan…..
A/N: This is sort of a continuation of Confession but it can be read on its own…Oh and I kinda sorta incorporated prompt number 358 (located in chapter 7) from Prompt Me by Elissa-Dido. Read it, it is awesome…also I don't know why Reid loves chocolate cake so much…You would have to ask Elissa why she chose it. I just used it as backdrop. Sorry for any minor inconsistencies…Hope you enjoy it!
Dinner had been perfect. Everything was delicious, they were in this wonderful little restaurant right up the street from Reid's apartment. He'd never actually been there but he passed it a lot. Finally he'd went in. There he was sitting across the table from the most gorgeous guy he'd ever known and not only were they having dinner together but it was a date…and his date felt the same way.
Reid was in heaven. He looked over at Morgan and smiled nervously. They had finished eating and had just ordered their dessert.
After a moment of silence their dessert appeared and Reid eagerly grabbed his fork, digging into his chocolate cake.
"You really love chocolate cake don't you?" Morgan asked with a smirk.
Reid chewed slowly and blushed lightly. After swallowing his bite he said, "Yeah. My Mom used to make it for my birthday."
"That's cool. You just seemed really eager to eat that cake. What're you in such a rush for anyway? What, you got a hot date tonight or something?" Morgan said smirking again.
Reid replied, attempting humor, "Yes, actually I do."
Morgan shook his head and laughed. "You really are something kid. You know that's actually a pretty good answer. First good line I've heard on a date in a while. Then again this is the first date I've had in a while."
"Don't worry. It's probably been longer since I've been on a date. I think the last one I had was probably my last year of college for my first degree."
"Which was when? Like a month ago?" Morgan laughed at the look Reid gave him.
"I'm not that young."
"I know. It was just to good an opportunity."
By now they had both finished their disserts and received the bill.
Morgan snatched it away before Reid could grab it. "I asked you so I got this. Go on out to the car and wait for me, I'll drop you off."
He walked off before Reid could protest and say that he could walk home fine, (which he'd have still done outside the restaurant) before he noticed that it was now raining out.
And Reid hated walking in the rain without an umbrella.
Reluctantly he got up from the table and walked outside, took a breath and bolted for the car.
Jumping in he shook drops from his hair and off his coat as Morgan jumped in next to him.
"Where did that rain come from?" Reid asked as Morgan started the car.
"You know they were calling for rain all week right?"
"Really? I must've missed that…"
Morgan just shook his head and pulled out of the parking lot. After a few minutes they pulled up outside of Reid's apartment building and Morgan parked the car.
"Ok, well thanks for dinner. I had a really great time. I'll see you-"
"There you go in a rush again." Morgan cut him off.
"Sorry. Just I'm kind of nervous. Like I said I haven't been on a date in a while and those didn't go too well."
"Don't worry. Things will be just fine between us." Morgan told him assuredly.
He leaned over and gave a quick kiss to a slightly stunned Reid.
"Hey…would you um…Would ahh…would-"
"Yes I'd love to come up to your place."
Reid blushed. "Just to talk more and just until the rain stops."
Morgan smiled and opened the door. "For now anyway."
Raindrops began to fall harder and all Reid could think was that it was going to be a very long night…but in a good way.
So yeah I don't know why I decided that Reid hated to get wet from the rain but he does…or at least my version of Reid does…Just thought of something…It seems like I'm leaving this in a spot that could be continued but knowing me who knows if it ever will be…
