JJ grinned at Morgan and pushed him lightly as he laughed at her. She looked over at Emily who just rolled her eyes and then laughed a little, Hotch looked at the three and smiled a little. He was glad when JJ returned to her old self a few weeks ago, she had moved on from whatever had been holding her back.
Morgan winked at Emily before running behind JJ when she tried to walk away to get Garcia, lifting her with no trouble over his shoulders as she giggled and asked him to put her down. Emily laughed loudly as she got out her camera and took a photograph of the two.
"Do you lot ever stop messing around?" Rossi said as he walked into the office, he had no idea how the group could be so lively at seven in the morning, but he was glad for the normality for once.
"Blame Morgan!" JJ shouted, closing her eyes and giggling when Morgan quickly ran up the steps, twirling around to make her dizzy.
Garcia came out of her office and smiled at the scene, she was the only one who knew about Reid and JJ and she was glad that the sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes had returned for the first time in ages.
"She seems happier." Emily whispered to Garcia,
"She's moving on." Emily nodded, although she had no idea what had been going on with JJ she had some suspicions.
"Are we going to work today?" Hotch finally said, shaking his head at Morgan and JJ who were still messing around and were now play fighting,
"No cases." JJ shouted back at him, grinning as Morgan ruffled her hair, she pounced on his back and smiled at him, whispering a thank you in his ear as he gave her a piggy back. She owed Morgan everything for the past few months, he was the one she would call in the middle of the night when she couldn't sleep, he was the one she spent almost every night with, the one who made her laugh and smile, the one she could spend every waking moment with.
"It's no problem." Morgan looked at the girl who he had now put down and wrapped his arms around her, he loved her so much, she had no idea how many dates he had given up just so he could be there with her and make her feel okay again – she meant more to him than any of those women.
He grinned when she kissed him gently on the cheek, neither of them caring that everyone was looking at them. They all knew about JJ and Morgan's relationship, they knew that it was the way they were with each other. They were all just glad to see that sparkle in her eyes once more. She wrapped an arm around his waist and he wrapped one around her shoulders as they all started to talk about the party they had gone to last night.
"Reid?!"Emily was the first to notice the lanky genius as he walked in, staring at JJ and Morgan and shaking his head. He couldn't believe that she had moved on already, but then again he knew he couldn't blame her, he had been horrible to her.
"Emily." He nodded towards the woman and walked up to everyone, he noticed JJ's grip on Morgan tightened and Morgan pulled JJ closer to him as he glared at Reid. Garcia shook her head when she realized JJ must have told Morgan and she bit down on her lip, she had no idea if it was a good thing that Morgan knew or not.
JJ looked down at the floor, smiling a little when Morgan whispered something to her. Reid hugged Emily and Garcia, stopping at JJ and frowning.
"S-sorry if me being back is going to upset you." He whispered, she shook her head and looked away from him, Hotch and Rossi looked over at them confused and Emily sighed when she realized her suspicions had just been confirmed. Morgan shared a look with Garcia before looking at Reid,
"Are you clean?" He asked him, pulling JJ impossibly closer to his body when he felt her tense,
"Y-yes.. I just came out of a five month stay in rehab." He smiled a little,
"You went to rehab?" JJ whispered, she had long since given up on a phone call or a message from the man she would always love more than anything but she had no idea where he was.
"Yes I did... I did it for you but..." He frowned at the two of them and sighed, JJ looked at Morgan and the two of them burst out laughing.
"Dude that is sick, JJ is like my little sister." Morgan wrinkled his nose at the thought of dating the woman he thought of as a sister, the one he would do anything to protect.
"What?" Reid looked at their arms around each other and then back at everyone else who just smiled,
"I can't believe you would think that." Morgan shook his head and grinned, shaking Reid's hand,
"It's good to have you back."
"It's good to be back." He looked at JJ who wouldn't let go of Morgan,
"Can I speak to you alone?" She shook her head and bit down on her lip, Garcia looked down at the floor, she knew that JJ wanted to but she wouldn't let herself get hurt again. JJ's barriers were up and they were going to stay that way.
"Please?" Reid whispered,
"She doesn't want to, leave it for now Reid." Morgan shook his head, warning the other man who nodded and walked over to his desk. JJ sighed and smiled at Morgan when he kissed her on the forehead, she laughed a little at the thought of dating Morgan. She looked into his eyes, wishing she could see him in that way because he was amazing, he was everything she wanted and more.
A/N: Haha, I wanted to trick you wonderful readers into thinking JJ and Morgan were together, did it work? :)
