Ok, before you start hurting me, I'm going to apologize. I receive this earlier, but I was at my friend's. We went to see the final movie of my favourite book/movie serie : HArry Potter. I'm not going to admit I cried. So, here's the chapter. Thanks to my very busy beta deathtechie. Thanks to the reviewers too.


Spencer was talking animatedly to JJ, sitting on the counter of the coffee shop, a tick and heavy-looking book in his hand. The bell alerting the presence of a new costumer chimed catching the two friends' attention. Turning around, Spencer found himself looking at the one and only Derek Morgan.

Fact 1: Spencer was speechless.

So speechless that he dropped his book to the floor. The sound made every customer's head turn his way, but he was too busy looking at Derek to notice anything. Spencer didn't know how it was possible. Statistically speaking, the chances were almost inexistent. So how was it that the man, he was in love, stood in the doorway of his favourite coffee shop?

The genius just stood there, looking at the black man with a mixed look of surprise, nervousness and a little of adoration. From the doorway, Derek stood staring back at the young man looking as nervous and surprised as Spencer, but his eyes also held a hint of sadness. The two men stood there, so busy staring at each other that the world seemed to have stopped. Unknown to the two, everyone was watching, too, especially JJ.

The blonde woman ran her eyes from one to the other before it suddenly clicked in her head. Of course, that man was the infamous Derek Morgan. Smirking, she turned her attention back to the couple.

It was like a movie. One of those looks where you can see all the love in the world. A love so pure, that JJ had hope for the first time. She had hope that maybe, her genius and awkward best friend would maybe get his happily ever after kind of ending.

Suddenly, Derek realized he was staring and dropped his eyes. At first, it had seemed such a good idea, coming here and asking his Pretty Boy out on a date. But now, he was obviously interrupting him while he was with his girlfriend. Only his pride kept him from walking out of there as fast as his feet could go.

He slowly made his way to the counter. He stopped right in front of Spencer. There were just a couple inches between the two. JJ faked a cough and the magic disappeared. The two men and all the customers seemed to come back to reality. The teenager blushed, turned around and got off the countertop while Derek took a couple of steps back.

"Hi, Spencer."

Spencer looked at the man, unable to find his voice.

Fact 2: He probably looked like an idiot, or at least he felt like one.

"Hi" He said softly, finding his voice somehow.

Spencer received JJ's elbow in the ribs, causing him to wince and by the same occasion his mind came back to life.

"Oh, yeah! I'm sorry! Derek, this is Jennifer Jareau. JJ, this is Derek Morgan, my self-defense teacher."

"Nice girlfriend you got yourself, kid." Derek said with difficulty.

Spencer turned fire red as JJ started laughing uncontrollably.

"Oh! No, no! JJ is my best friend. I'm single." Spencer managed to say. "And stop calling me kid." He had as an afterthought.

"Oh! Great… I mean… it's not… huh… Sorry about the kid thing and about yesterday too." Derek said releasing a breath he hadn't known he was holding.

"It's fine, but thanks." Spencer smiled.

"Talking about fine, how's your nose?" The black man asked raising a hand to touch the teenager's face.

"Good." Spencer answered softly, blushing at the gesture. "It's not broken."

"You're lucky. Stevens is a big guy, he could have broken it easily."

Derek drew his hand back. A comfortable silence took place between the two. They waited a couple minutes, waiting to see who would talk first. Finally, Derek stroked the back of his neck in a nervous gesture before he started talking.

"So, yeah. I was looking for you."

"Really?" Spencer said, physically perking up.

The young genius mentally slapped himself over his action.

Fact 3: He wasn't a thirteen-year-old girl in love for the first time.

Fact 4: He needed to find a cure for love stupidity.

The older man took the younger's reaction as a good sign, giving him the courage to continue.

"Yeah. Would you go out on a date with me tomorrow night?" Derek said rapidly.

"Oh! No."

Spencer saw Derek's face fell.

"I mean, I would love to, but I can't. I'm giving a lecture at Caltech tomorrow night. It's on advanced mathematics and complex theorems like Fermat or… And I'm rambling again, I'm sorry. You probably don't even care." Reid said, blushing once more.

"It's okay. I don't mind." Derek replied truthfully. "How about we make it a lunch date?" He added hopeful. "You know, after my class."

Spencer frowned and smiled sadly.

"I only have thirty minutes of lunch tomorrow."

His gaze fell on JJ who was glaring at him.

"But, if you don't mind weird fluorescent lettuce, you could join me in the cafeteria, after class."

"Sounds perfect, I would love that." Derek answered calmly even though his heart was pounding.

"Great!" Spencer said, grinning from ear to ear.

"Good. So … I guess I'm going to go." Derek said, as if he was trying to convinced himself.

"Yeah... ok."

"Bye Spencer. Bye JJ" he said, remembering the blonde's presence.

He walked backward toward the door. The black man took in Spencer's brilliant smile before finally leaving. The second, he couldn't see Morgan, Spencer let out his joy. His joy was matched by JJ's who was already making plans for his clothes.

Fact 5: Spencer Reid did squeal like a thirteen-year-old in love for the first time.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
