Do I really have to remind myself that I don't own Criminal Minds? (Maybe if I'm really nice I might get the show as a Christmas gift from santa!)

So, back to the situation at Morgan's house. What will happen now that Garcia has spotted the mark Morgan left on Reid? :)


Co-workers, best friends… Lovers?

Chapter 11

Spencer Reid

He had his goal clearly set. The need for coffee had grown much more acute during his shower. The only thing, it seemed, that could let the coffee wait was Morgan. He spotted the coffeemaker in the kitchen, not taking in his surrounding as he made is way towards the coffee. As he poured sugar into his coffee he heard a squeal that sounded very familiar.

"EEEEK! Oh my GOD! Boy Wonder, is that a LOVE BITE I see on your neck?!"

Reid froze as he took in the words, now realizing who had spoken. He slowly turned while drinking some of his coffee. At the table he saw a very excited looking Penelope Garcia, and across the table from her sat his lover with a mortified expression.

"Garcia…" he mumbled, taking a large sip from his coffee, his eyes fixed at the floor. His mumbles where followed by a long awkward silence. Reid glanced up again, Garcia still looked very excited. He met Morgan's eyes, glaring at him for not giving any warning that they had company.

"Pretty Boy…" Morgan began an apologizing expression on his face.

"Gah! Tell me! TELL ME!"

"Wait, what?" Reid blurted out, only now realizing what Garcia actually had said. He rushed to the nearest mirror which was placed in Morgan's hallway. "What the…!" he gasped when he saw the very obvious bite mark on his neck. "DEREK REALLY?!" Feeling very embarrassed by the situation, an angry blush spread across his face.

Morgan and Garcia had both followed Reid to the hallway. The female tried, but failed, to suppress an intense giggle.

"Oh my god! Is it really true that my Chocolate Adonis and my Junior G-man are an item?" Garcia asked, jumping up and down a bit, looking completely amazed with happiness.

Reid was too embarrassed to speak; he simply glared at Morgan as he moved forward to take his coffee which Morgan was holding. "This is all his fault! He shouldn't have bitten be where it could be seen!" he thought. Morgan chuckled, causing Reid to pout. Unfortunately this only caused Morgan to chuckle more as he pulled Reid to him to place a peck on the younger man's lips.

"Aaww!" Garcia sighed.

Instinctively Reid kissed back. Soon he felt his older lover's tongue against his bottom lip. As he moaned into the kiss Morgan took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, pulling Reid closer to him with one hand in his hair and one around his lower back. Reid placed the hand that was not holding the coffee-mug behind the other man's neck.

"Wow, this is so HOT! Great fuel for my imagination! Now where is that phone, I want to take a picture!"

Reid broke the kiss at Garcia's words. He had completely forgotten someone else was present. A blush spread across his face once more and he hid his face at Morgan's shoulder.

"Damn you Derek, this is NOT how I wanted people to find out about us" Reid mumbled.

"I hate to tell you this baby, but you gave it away all by yourself. You could have said you had a hot date or something."

"Oh boy wonder, you shouldn't be embarrassed! I don't blame you for wanting some delicious chocolate loving!" Garcia exclaimed before pulling Reid and Morgan into a bear hug.


Garcia stuck around most of the day, asking for detailed information about everything the couple had been up to. Her need for detailed information made Reid spend most of the time looking like a tomato and letting Morgan do most of the talking. However Reid was quite happy that Garcia knew, this meant they could relax a bit more at work. It felt nice being able to let Morgan hold him when someone else was around; this made the relationship feel more real. They had made her promise not to tell the others just yet, much to the eccentric woman's dismay.

When Garcia left Morgan took Clooney for a walk as Reid began preparing dinner. He thought about his mother, he had yet to tell her about his relationship with Morgan. Somehow he didn't want to tell her something this important in a letter.

He also suspected she would want to meet Morgan. She had always been very supportive when it came to her son's sexuality, 'love is love' she believed. Maybe they could go to Vegas for their annual leave that was coming up in a few months. "He would probably not mind going to Vegas. But wait, maybe he'll want to go to Chicago to visit his family! What if they don't approve of this? Of us?" Reid thought, feeling almost panicked at the thought.

"Wow, Pretty Boy, what's going on?" Morgan asked worriedly as he walked into the kitchen.

"I… Well I was just thinking…"

"About what Spencer?" the older man asked, pulling Reid into his lap as he sat down on a chair, wrapping his arms around the young doctor.

"First my mother. Then your family. I was thinking that they, your family I mean, probably won't like this, us… Well me. I mean they would probably prefer if you…" Reid was interrupted by a loving kiss.

"Pretty boy, Spencer. I love you. Now, I know for sure that momma won't mind, she really likes you, and she had no problem accepting me coming out as bisexual. Sarah and Desi both really like you to, and Sarah also really supported me when I came out. Desi struggled with the news, but when she learns how much I love you I refuse to believe she wouldn't accept this relationship. To hell with anyone who doesn't see how good we are. You mean everything to me Spencer Reid."

"Really?" Reid replied weakly.

"Really. Spencer, I have never ever felt this strongly about anyone before. I will never leave you by choice. This is real."

Reid could do nothing but smile at his lover.

"Derek I love you so much, and I actually believe you when you say you won't leave. I trust you, and if it's up to me I will never let you go."


So, Garcia knows! Well and Rossi of course, but can anyone be surprised Ross would suspect something?

I have also been thinking about maybe writing about a case, but I'm not sure I'll be any good at it. If you want I can give it a shot, what do you think?

Please review, makes my day to read your reviews!
