Day in the Life

Derek Morgan looked up from his desk when a slender white hand placed a steaming cup of black coffee in front of him; he smiled at the thoughtfulness of his lover. Spencer Reid was blushing as he always did when Derek gave him that smile at work. Derek reached up and stole Spencer's coffee; he winked at the young genius as he did so and said "I'll be thinking of you." He took a sip, inwardly he was laughing, the coffee really did make him think of Spencer, it was loaded with cream and sugar, thinking about it…it didn't make him just think of Spencer, it tasted like him too.

Reid looked down at the black coffee that was now in his hand, blatantly ignoring the knowing looks he was receiving from around the office. He tried to will his blush away as he typed at his computer; he couldn't resist smiling however, the coffee tasted exactly like Derek.

Garcia couldn't resist spying on the happy couple using the surveillance system. She smiled and clapped her hands at how cute her boys were being. She never got tired of Derek's naughty antics with Spencer at work. She hadn't even known that the 'tough guy' of the team could be so sweet. The rest of the team had noticed the changes too and had approved. Even Hotch, who was nervous at first about two agents on the team being involved, seemed to have relaxed about the situation and even roomed them together on trips. She frowned when Hotch called the team in to be briefed; it seemed that the team had another case.

The Case

Spencer looked sideways at Derek as they drove to the scene. His lips twitched nervously as if trying to hold back what he wanted to say, and failing "Derek…" he started and paused for a moment before continuing "Maybe you should take Hotch's advice and stay back as surveillance."

Derek's dark eyes darted to Spencer before flashing back to the road "WE already discussed this." He said firmly but calmly. He wasn't letting Spencer go anywhere alone, not without him.

Spencer could deduce what Morgan was thinking and couldn't help blushing in the darkness and tried one last time to convince Derek to stay safe "But you're his type."

From the unsub's profile they knew that they were tacking a young black male who was approximately twenty to thirty years old. He was most likely abused as a child and seemed set on getting his revenge by attacking black males who were most likely older than him and had an 'alpha male' mindset. The profiled that he was hunting down men who resembled his abuser, possibly a sign that his abuser was dead and no longer available for the unsub to enact his revenge. Either way, Derek Morgan fit nicely into his strike zone.

Derek didn't have the time to pull over and reassure Spencer, but he did reach over and squeeze Spencer's hand to comfort him "Hey now baby boy, we both know whose type I am." He smirked proudly, knowing that even if he couldn't see it, Spencer was probably blushing. He added "And Like hell I'm letting you go in without me."

They met up with the team and Hotch rose an eyebrow at Reid and Morgan "I take it you won't be staying back?"

Morgan shook his head in response "No way man, we need every guy we have out there, not sitting back watching the fireworks."

Hotch nodded in understanding "Alright, you and I will be coming in from the back while Reid, Gideon, and Elle are going from the front to corner him."

Morgan looked at Reid for a moment before nodding and saying "Let's do this." He turned and followed Hotch after Reid went with the rest of the team. They were waiting in the bushes waiting for the unsub to arrive before going in. Hotch paused before saying softly to Morgan "I didn't think that this thing with you and Reid would last…but I'm glad that it's working out."

Morgan gave the Chief a sideways smile before saying "I know, but there is someone who would be glad to hear that." both of them thinking of Reid and the Doctor's low sense of self confidence. They had no more time to talk as the unsub arrived and they made their move.

The Hospital Room

Reid burst into the hospital room, completely ignoring the frantic nurses chasing him. They only let off when Hotch quickly followed behind him and flashed his badge at them. "F.B.I we're here for Derek Morgan." And he followed Reid quickly, wanting to prevent as much damage as possible.

Reid knelt by Morgan's beside, tears streaming down his red face as he said softly "Derek? Derek?" He tenderly caressed the size of Derek's face as he spoke the bright hospital lights gleaming off of the simple silver promise ring he wore. His hand clenched spastically when he noticed the pale band of skin on Derek's finger. He turned to Hotch, his voice trembling as he said "His ring…"

Hotch watched from the doorway to give them some space before making his over to Reid. "They removed is ring for the MRI, they'll give it back with his clothing and belongings later. They say he'll be fine there was some trauma caused by his fall, but he should wake up any time."

Reid clutched at Morgan's hand silently, his eyes were red and his face had paled "I know" he said softly, but he didn't believe his own words. He knew that it was irrational but he felt as if something was wrong. He had no proof or facts to support this fear, but he knew.

Morgan's eyes fluttered open as he woke completely and suddenly. He groaned at the ache in his head and side and groaned "Man what happened?"

Reid had been dozing in the chair next to Morgan's bed and jerked violently awake when he heard Morgan's voice. He briskly rubbed his face with his hands and smiled weakly at Morgan "Hey…how…how are you feeling?"

Morgan looked up, surprised to see Reid sitting by him "Hey pretty boy." He gave a small smile and asked "You look like you've had a scare…what happened?"

Red tensed when Morgan didn't remember how he had landed in the hospital, but firmly reminded himself that there had been some trauma to his head due to the fall. The unsub had panicked he realized he was cornered; he had fired at Morgan, hitting the agent's side who had been moving to tackle him. The shot had thrown Morgan off, he managed to still tackle the unsub but had hit his head hard on impact.

Reid straightened in his chair and said "You were running to tackle the unsub when he fired, a bullet went into your side and you hit your head hard during the fall."

Morgan looked at Reid for a moment as his mind went over the information, slowly he looked up at Reid feeling as though there was something he was missing and asked "Reid…where are we?"

Reid ignored the cold feeling that was settling into his stomach, after all hospitals were notorious for their fluctuations in temperature. He cleared his throat attempting to ignore the fact that Morgan had called him 'Reid' and said "We're in Atlanta, Georgia." He hoped that would help the confused agent so that he could put the Doctor's rising fears to rest.

Morgan shook his head and regretted the action when it brought him a sharp jolting pain "Atlanta?" He paused again as his gaze looked out the window and he said with disbelief "It's spring…"

Reid nodded, his throat felt so dry that he could no longer speak, he cleared his throat again and said softly "It's April 15th to be exact."

Morgan turned and looked at Reid slowly "Last thing I remember is Christmas."

Reid's mind worked in hyper drive, if the last thing that Derek remembered was Christmas then he wouldn't remember what had happened on New Year's Eve…Reid felt tears coming quickly to his eyes and looked away but not before Morgan noticed.

"Hey Pretty boy don't worry, things like this happen. I'll be right as rain in a few days."

Reid nodded but remained silent as Hotch came into the room. He took one look at the expression on Morgan's face and the silent tear's on Reid's before he demanded "What happened?"

Morgan could tell he was missing a big piece of the puzzle and said "Hotch man…the last thing I remember is Christmas."

Hotch started at Morgan for a moment before understanding Reid's reaction. He closed his eyes for a second and thought quickly before saying calmly "I have to go speak to the doctors." He headed out, as he went Elle, J.J and Gideon came in.

Gideon caught the look in Hotch's eye and asked directly "What's up?"

Hotch looked once more at the silent couple and said "Morgan remembers only until Christmas."

Morgan watched the rest of the team's reaction to that statement and turned to Reid. He knew he had to figure out fast what he was missing. It was then that he noticed something that would take his mind off of the situation for a moment and put a smile on his face. "Hey now…I know I'm missing something bit if Reid's wearin' a ring."

The room froze at his words and all eyes turned to Reid whose own attention was fixated to his ring.

Morgan ignored what was happening and playfully pushed "come on Pretty Boy…, who's the lucky guy?"

The Flashback

Reid felt a flutter of hope go through him. Morgan still remembered the Staff Christmas Party where Reid let slip his true inclinations. Reid had been watching the party from a distance, enjoying a glass of red wine when Morgan had slid up next to him. "Hey Pretty Boy, when are you going to stop spending holiday's alone and get yourself a girl?"

Reid had been absorbed in the Congo line that had started with Garcia at the lead and answered without thinking "I actually prefer the company of men." His eyes had widened when he realized what he had said but Morgan just laughed it off.

Morgan had playfully pushed his shoulder against Reid's and said "That's fair…so a guy then? Already have one in mind?"

Reid hadn't been able to stop the small hopeful smile on his lips when he answered "Yes." before looking quickly away.

Back to the Present

Morgan pointed a finger at Reid and said "So you asked that guy out? How's it going?"

Reid stared blankly at Morgan, finally understanding the phrase 'caught in the headlights' in a painfully clear way. Fortunately or…unfortunately, the Doctor came in and began to examine Morgan, letting the topic slide away for the time being.

The plane ride back was mainly silent; the team spent most of the time sleeping. The one noticeable exception was Reid. He spent the entire time gazing out the window as he toyed with the ring on his finger.

I hope you all are enjoying this! The Dark Night aspect will be coming in the next chapter!
