A/N: Next chapter! Sorry this has taken so long, I've been struggling quite a bit with writer's block. Hope y'all enjoy it. I've been so excited to write about Reid's and Morgan's night out…!

Warning: This is Morgan/Reid slash! If you don't particularly enjoy that, I would suggest you turn away now…

Please enjoy!

After a week of waiting, Friday had finally come. Reid, as his usual, arrived with a sort of excited energy that buzzed and seeped into the air- Halloween was tomorrow. Emily laughed at the excited genius; he was practically shaking. It was a paperwork day, but this did not seem to deter Reid's effervescent outlook.

He sat at his desk, tugging his satchel from his shoulder and placing it on the floor in front of him. He looked at Emily, a lecture on the tip of tongue, when Morgan entered the office, wearing his usual tight black t-shirt, causing Reid's lecture to die in his throat. No matter how often Morgan wore that shirt, it still caused a mini-panic attack every time Reid saw it. He coughed surreptitiously and turned back to his desk, spreading out the impressive stack of folders in front of him.

Emily watched the resident genius with quite a bit of interest. She had been mentally preparing herself for the lecture that always cropped on Halloween for days, and yet it had died before Reid had even opened his mouth. She was a profiler, and she didn't miss the diluted pupils, and the pink flush that worked its way onto Reid's cheeks. A smirk gracing her face, she began working on her paperwork.

Reid worked diligently through his stack of folders, determined to keep his gaze away from the oh-so-tempting abs of one Derek Morgan. And he succeeded, valiantly, until his seemingly endless stack of folders was gone and he was left nothing to distract himself with. It was then that Morgan polished off the last folder he had in his stack as well, and looked at Reid.

Reid froze where he sat. Morgan's sudden eye contact was unexpected, to say the least. Yet, he couldn't look away. After what seemed like ages, Morgan stood and walked over to Reid's desk.

He leaned against the surface and said, "You ready, pretty boy?" Reid's mouth lost any and all moisture, but he nodded regardless. Morgan grinned and grabbed the genius's bag.

Reid's heart fluttered in his chest and he followed Morgan out of the office. When they reached the older agent's car, Morgan opened the door for Reid and then walked over to the driver's side. Reid slid into the large SUV. He fumbled with the seat belt, his hands not cooperating with his over-active mind. Morgan smirked and reached over, safely fastening the seatbelt.

"So where are we going?" Reid asked, trying to ignore the fact that Morgan was touching him.

"That would be a surprise. You'll have to wait." Morgan finished clicking in the seatbelt, and pulled out of the parking garage. The drive was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly, without warning, Reid's mind was flooded with facts about Halloween and he couldn't contain them any longer.

Morgan listened with amusement to the rambling genius as they drove.

"…and did you know that the traditional spelling of Halloween is actually not H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N, as most people believe, but H-A-L-L-O-W-E'E-N? And- oh my god." Reid stopped his rant as they pulled up to their destination.

Morgan smirked, "Glad you like it, genius."

"Morgan, no one ever wants to do this with me. I mean, even Emily didn't." Reid said, tugging excitedly at his shirtsleeve.

Morgan smiled and said, "Yeah, I know. Now, come on, pretty boy. We got a show to catch."

A/N: Ack! Sorry this is so short. It's just… that was such a good place to stop. I've gotten over my writer's block quite a bit, so the next installment should be coming along soon!

Honestly, I have no idea whether or not the FBI has a parking garage. I've always assumed, but… let's just pretend that there is. Also, I'm leaving Emily in the story for now, since I started the story before she left… So yeah.

Cookies for anyone who guesses what show they're seeing!
