A Real Christmas
Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap. This wasn't happening. Nobody knew of his insane crush on Derek, did they? He should just brush it off. Right?
Morgan was biting his lip in a way that sparked something inside Reid. Before he knew what was happening, Morgan leaned forwards.
His lips touched the other man's gently, sending butterflies into a frenzy within his stomach. Morgan's lips were warm, and maybe it was the alcohol talking, but Spencer was sure it was almost as if the other man was enjoying it as much as he was.
Without thinking, his tongue pressed against Morgan's lips, and they parted willingly. A whimper nearly escaped the Genius as-
"Okay that's enough you two; we aren't nearly trashed enough for that!" JJ said loudly, covering her eyes playfully.
Reid noticed as he pulled away that the other men in the room were all looking anywhere but at the scene in front of them. Emily was looking at them and smirking, whilst Garcia had a grin worthy of rivalling the Cheshire cat.
Finally he looked back to Derek, whose tongue was resting on his lips sensually, causing Spencer to blush.
The room had fallen to silence as the two men stared at each other, one biting his lip, the other blinking rapidly.
"MORE ALCOHOL." Hotch all but demanded, and Emily laughed.
"I'm out of eggnog."
"That's okay, I have vodka!" Rossi said simply, causing everyone to chuckle.
Spencer was still looking at Morgan, unable to calm his nerves. What the hell had just happened?

Morgan fiddled with the button on the cuff of his shirt, running things over in his head. It had been twenty minutes or so since the kiss. His first kiss with his Pretty Boy. He could be insane, but he was sure that Spencer had felt what he had.
He'd just have to wait until the Genius opened his gift, and hopefully understood.
"Man, it's one a.m.! We should put the gifts out and crash, if we have any hopes of being able to wake up in the morning." Will said, flicking off the television, and pressing a kiss to JJ's cheek.
Everyone put their gifts, some addressed from Santa, under the tree. Once they'd finished, they awkwardly looked to David.
"Oh, right. There's two rooms upstairs, and I think it would be best for Hotch to have one, and JJ and Will the other. Seeing as the kids would want to find you in the morning." Rossi said. "There's a futon in the TV room downstairs for Garcia and Lynch, and I guess the couches in here are for Spencer, Derek and Emily."
"Sounds good. Oh and I guess, Merry Christmas." Hotch said with a rare grin.
"Oh yeah! Merry Christmas Reid." Derek said, his tone lowering at the mention of his crush's name.
"Merry Christmas." Spencer nearly whispered.
"Alright lovebirds, get to bed!" Penelope teased, took Kevin's hand, and led him downstairs.
"Goodnight everyone." Hotch said and followed Rossi up the stairs.
JJ winked at Reid, and then took Will up the stairs, closing the door to the room behind them.
"So how early do you think the boys will be up?" Emily asked, leaning back on the couch, her hair splaying outwards.
"Hopefully not too early."

JJ awoke to her son jumping on her bed, a blur of words shooting from his mouth. She got the gist. It was Christmas.
She groaned and looked at her alarm clock. Six in the morning. Lovely.
Once Will had woken up (well, as much as he could) they left the room, hair tangled, pyjamas wrinkled.
Henry ran down the stairs excitedly, Jack catching up. JJ turned to see a dishevelled Hotch smiling at them, rubbing his head.
When they got to the bottom, JJ couldn't help a large grin. Emily was asleep on the couch, nearly falling off. Morgan was asleep on the floor, while Spencer had the couch. She had a feeling Derek had made him take it. Reid's hand was off the edge, suspiciously close to Morgan's finger tips.
"PRESENTS!" Jack yelled, rousing everyone from their slumber.
Spencer tumbled off the couch, Derek just barely catching him in time to prevent both of them receiving sharp bruises. Emily shot up, wacking her foot on the table painfully.
"Ugh, what time is it?" Emily whined, while Reid awkwardly shied away from Morgan with an apology, his face blushing heatedly.
"Six A.M. Star Shine!" Penelope's voice sounded, and JJ spun to see her come up the stairs in teddy bear PJs, and Kevin in Star Trek ones.
"Oh god..." Morgan moaned, rubbing his eyes.
"That's what Christmas morning is. Wake up crazy early, open presents, make happy memories, all while having barely any sleep. Everyone knows that." Emily told them with a grin.
"I don't. I need caffeine or more sleep. Preferably the latter." Spencer said with a groan, lying back down.
"I'll start some coffee, Drama Queen." Rossi muttered, going down the few stairs towards the kitchen.
"Presents? Can we open presents now?" Henry asked, jumping up and down with an excited laugh.
"Stockings first, you boys know that!" Hotch explained, and grabbed them off the mantle.
He handed them out, each person receiving theirs. Garcia had hand decorated them, each a different color with the person's name written in glitter paint on the top. JJ's was pink, Hotch's red, and everyone's bright.
Jayje looked over to see that everyone was staring at Reid, who had his purple stocking in hand, frozen, running his thumb over the letters. His eyes had glazed over, and he'd become distant.
"I GOT A DINOSOAR!" Jack shouted.
"ME TOO!" Henry yelled, snapping everyone out of their trance.
"Alrighty, let's do this in an organised way, eh?" Rossi suggested. "Let's go by who the gift is from. For starters, everyone open their stocking-gift from...Hotch and Jack."
Everyone did as they were told. JJ, Emily, and Penelope all received bright scarves. Kevin and Will got gift cards to the local coffee place, Rossi a coffee mug, Henry and Jack two race cars, and Morgan and Reid received ties.
Next they opened their gifts from Rossi, all of them receiving gift cards to different stores in the mall.
"Spent a lot of time on these, huh?" Emily teased.
"I'll remind you that we're under my roof smart..." He trailed off, looking to the boys, "butt."
Next they opened what they'd gotten from Emily, which were many things, among them tickets to a movie, a new book, a gorgeous necklace and toys from Paris for the kids.
They went through the gifts from JJ, Will and Henry, assorted things that were personal, but also fun; scrapbooks, watches, picture frames.
From Penelope, and by extension Kevin, they received the quirkiest gifts by far, ranging from a scantily clad female ornament, to a physics magic kit, bunny rabbit earrings, and for Morgan; a photo-shopped picture of him on a stripper pole, which he hid from the younger eyes with a clumsy lunge.
When they got to the gifts from Reid, they were all amazed. Each received a card that said he had donated money to a charity he had picked for them. They all fit very well; Hotch an FBI program, Rossi a medical institute, JJ and Will a seizure research group, Emily a witness protection program, Penelope and by extension Kevin a donation to her recovery group, Jack and Henry a donation to their schools, and finally, for Morgan a sizable donation to the youth center in his home town. Everyone, all adults that was, had teary eyes.
"Spencer, you didn't have to-"
"No, no, be quiet. I always donate to Bennington's Sanatorium, so I figured this would be the best thing to do. You know I don't shop much, so I have enough to easily donate. And it's made you happy, so it's the best gift I could have gotten you guys." He said, looking at Morgan nearly the entire time.
"What's a donation?" Henry asked quietly.
"It means your Uncle Spencer gave money to lots of people who needed it more than we do. He helped people who needed it most." Derek said, his voice oddly thick.
"That's very nice of you, Uncle Spencer!" Jack said, and Henry nodded, both smiling.
"Alright, I guess that leaves my gifts. I can't beat that though." Derek chuckled. "The boys already got their dinosaurs, so I guess it's just the grownups then."
They all opened their last little gifts, each one special. Garcia squealed over her blinged out phone case, and JJ and Emily loved their jewellery. Hotch grinned at the electronic photo frame, and Rossi outright laughed at the flask that said Sassy Italian. Kevin muttered thanks for the tie that he obviously liked, and Will thanked him for the dog tags, which he was already trying to attach to his chain.
Now it was time for Spencer to open his.
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU WAAAIITT NANANANA NAAA NAAA.
God, I'm horrible. SORRY!
Review please, and thanks for sticking with this.
