So I've decided to add each new one shot to First Date so that the story will be all together. This the next in the series called "What's Next?" Thanks to delia cerrano for giving me the idea to do it this way! Hope you enjoy, please read and review!

He was on his way upstairs with him. Morgan was following him upstairs to his apartment.
"What's going to happen next?" Reid thought as he took out his keys to unlock the door. His heart was pounding as he fumbled with his keys in the lock and dropped them.
Morgan grabbed them before Reid even noticed they weren't in his had anymore.
"If you're worried I'm gonna try and jump your bones, don't worry, I'm not that kind of girl." Morgan smiled as he joked and opened the door letting Reid enter first. Reid laughed nervously stepping into his place and taking back his keys. Morgan walked behind him into the kitchen and sat down.
"What makes you think I'm nervous about anything happening?" Reid said opening the fridge and trying to find something to serve. "Would coffee be okay? I don't have much else…"
"Yeah coffee is fine. And to answer your question its because one, you've been quiet since we got out of the car, two you dropped your keys and now your not even paying attention to the fact that you just put about eight scoops of grounds into the coffeemaker."
Reid looked down at the filter and realized he was right. Damn it he was nervous.
He picked up the entire filter and threw it away. "Okay so you're right. I am nervous. It's just that I haven't been in a situation like this in even longer that it's been since I've had a date. Which is saying a lot."
Morgan took over making the coffee because Reid seemed to have abandoned the task.
As the smell of coffee filled the air Morgan joined Reid at the table and faced him.
"So you're saying it's been a while since you've had sex?"
Reid blushed and sputtered, "Wh-what…No…Well I mean…well…"
Morgan laughed. "Calm down pretty boy. It's kind of cute that you're so shy about it."
Reid turned even redder.
"So how long has it been?" Morgan asked bluntly.
The question didn't catch him quite so off guard this time because he figured it was coming.
"Okay so it's been like seven years but it's not a big deal."
"Dude, seriously seven years? I will give you credit. I was sort of expecting it but still…seven years. I am impressed."
"Don't be. It's not like I had any real choice in the matter." Reid got up and made their coffee. He handed Morgan his cup and motioned for him to follow to the living room. They sat on the couch Reid continued, "I mean if I really tried I probably could have had sex, but it just wasn't something I found extremely important."
"You know Reid, you are different from anyone else I know. And I like that." Morgan sat his cup on the coffee table and moved over next to Reid. "Sex isn't what you want, so what is it that you want from a relationship?"
Reid sat in silence with Morgan looking at him.
He thought. If sex wasn't the important thing he was looking for (and it wasn't and never had been for him ever) then what was?
After what seemed an eternity Reid looked up and into Morgan's eyes.
"I guess…When I was younger, right after my dad left all I had was Mom. And that was fine because I had someone to love and hold me. I guess that's really all I want. Someone who will love and care for me. Who will hold me and just be a comfort. I've never really found anyone who I thought could give me any of that, except for you. So, yeah that's what I want. Just someone who'll be with me."
Morgan listened and stared at Reid while he thought out an answer.
"That makes sense." Morgan took Reid's cup and set it on the table next to his. "And since that makes sense then I guess you picked the right person because it's not quite as much as I want right now, but it's good enough." He leaned forward and kissed Reid just as he had in the car and pulled him close.
Reid took his cue and snuggled up close to him.
"So this is what's next…" Reid said quietly to himself.
"What?" Morgan asked moving his hand lower down Reid's side.
Reid grabbed and pulled his hand back up. "Nothing."
More will be coming soon!
