Chapter 21: Anything

"Promise me something," Morgan suggested as he and Reid walked the short distance from the SUV to Morgan's front door.

"Anything…" Reid stood by holding onto his satchel as Morgan turned the key. He couldn't wait to get inside and relax. The day was trying and his head was swimming. He was exhausted too which didn't help at all.

When they stepped inside, as Morgan locked the door behind them, he began to speak his mind. "First off, you gotta know I had to run this by my mamma and my sisters."

Reid involuntarily began holding his breath. He was suddenly wide awake and sharply focused on Morgan.

"Because you know we'd be at odds with them if they didn't approve. And to be honest, I don't know if I could handle that. It'd be hard on me."

Reid nodded just slightly, blinking rapidly as his anxiety brimmed. His eyes shifted from Morgan's eyes to his mouth and downward to his hands to see if he could read any of Morgan's body language, but he couldn't. "What did they say?" He was as nervous as the moment that started all of this. The night that he told Morgan how he felt was absolutely petrifying. He could already feel his nerves firing off, making him itch under his arms as his temples grew hot.

Morgan eased Reid's worry as soon as he could. "They're a little surprised to say the least, and trust me, that's the short n' sweet version, but they wish us well."

Reid exhaled and tried to laugh while placing his hand to his chest. "Oh, man…"

"Have you spoken to your mom yet?" Morgan asked.

"Yes… I, uhm…" he began to recall aloud, but paused as he took a moment to appreciate how hard it must have been for Morgan to admit to being in a relationship with a man to his mother. Carl Buford crossed his mind as well, but he swore thoughts of that man away immediately. "I told her what my plans were the night before I bought the ri—" He stopped short and tried to curb his grin, but he knew he was caught.

Morgan's eyebrow popped up with interest. "What?"

"I mean, yeah, she's happy if I'm happy." He tried so hard to keep a straight face.

Morgan smirked, "You bought a ring?"

Reid finally let go of a shy smile, but strained to look his partner in the eye. "I'm not admitting to anything."

"Why not?" Morgan grinned. "You already popped the question. Why didn't you present a ring when you proposed to me?"

"I didn't plan on proposing. It just sorta came out."

"So you didn't mean it then? This is all a sham?" Morgan teased, moving into Reid's personal space as if he owned it.

"No, I meant it; I just wasn't as prepared as I would have liked. I was waiting for the right time… which should have been before all of that mess happened, when everything wasn't so—"

"Where is it?" Morgan was all up in Reid's business, trying to feel up every single pocket built into the young man's clothing.

Reid was losing his train of thought quickly with Morgan so close, gently squeezing fabric against his skin. "Uhh…" he rubbed his finger against his brow as he kept his focus downward. Morgan was acting particularly feisty... "They're in my car… The rings… They're in my glove box…"

Two rings? Well… Morgan thought. "Good thing you drove here to stay the night then. Go get 'em." He licked at Reid's mouth and prompted a kiss from him. Then he took Reid's head into his warm hands, kissing him so deeply that Reid's knees almost buckled beneath him. When Morgan finally pulled away, Reid was completely drunk on him. His heavy eyelids showed no indication they would open again until Morgan spoke. "But, hey, if you want to wait longer for an official answer, I got all night."

Reid instantly back tracked, moving quickly for the door, unlocking it and pulling it open without bothering to close it before he ran to his parked car. With a racing heart and fumbling hands he opened the passenger door and then all but tore into the small glove box compartment. When he saw the jeweler's bag, he sighed in relief and then let himself have it for a second over not finding a more secure place to keep it. He kissed the bag, hurried to close the car door and headed back to house.

Morgan was patiently waiting, leaning against the counter top with his elbow, admiring his finger nails of all things.

Reid stopped short of him, standing in the door way. He was out of breath and clutching tightly onto the small bag. When Morgan looked up and met his eyes, Reid swallowed and began walking to him, leaving the door wide open. He pulled a little black box from the bag and let the bag fall to the floor. When he reached for Morgan's hand, he dropped to one knee and shook his head just a little, trying to move his hair from his face as he attempted to look presentable for this very important moment. Then he cleared his throat before speaking.

"Derek Morgan, will—"

"What are you doing?" Morgan interrupted.

"I'm… proposing?" he asked with some uncertainty.

Morgan already felt like the first time was perfect. He wasn't after an 'ask me again' moment, but who was he to question the man he loved? "You're right, I'm sorry. What were you saying?"

Reid smiled at Morgan, nervously at first, but when Morgan smiled back, Reid's spirit soared. "Derek, I am forever in love with you… I'm ready to be your husband and spend the rest of my life building our happy life together. Will you please do me the honor of marrying me?"

Morgan watched as Reid remembered to open the black box to present the ring; his boy was so nervous.

Reid patiently waited for an answer, again watching Morgan's handsome face for a sign because he was not at all convinced in this moment that Morgan would want any of what he was offering. He could say 'No' and would be allowed to, so Reid knew he had to be ready for that.

"Nothing's gonna get in our way now, is it, Pretty Boy?"

"No," Reid promised. "Never again."

Morgan smiled a warm smile. "Spencer Reid, I will marry you."

Reid breathed a sigh of relief and slipped the platinum ring onto Morgan's ring finger. It fit perfectly. He grabbed the bag and stood up with a quiet grunt.

"On one condition," Morgan added.

"Anything."

Morgan took the bag from Reid's hand. "You let me slip the other ring on your finger…"

Reid smiled as Morgan found the second box in the bag and helped himself to the ring inside. "Check out the engraving first." He bit his lip as his eyes watched Morgan.

Morgan held it against the light and read the inside of the band: "You Are My Constant" he recited so softly.

"They both say the same thing."

"I love it…" he paused and lined the ring up with Reid's finger. "It's perfect. Like you… Like us…"

Reid closed his eyes as he felt the cool metal slide up his finger. "Pinch me… please…" he laughed to himself.

"I can't believe it either. You're way too pretty to fall for a guy like me. What did I do to deserve you?"

Reid had so many answers, but Morgan pulled him into a tight hug and they quietly held each other for a while, renewing the hug with affectionate pressure every several seconds.

Reid finally pulled back. "And secondly?"

"What?"

"When we walked in, you said 'first off'… Is there something else?"

"Oh… When we have a child, you gotta get your butt outta the field. Find a nice, safe desk job or take some time off or something." His tone was so casual.

Reid frog faced just a bit. "Why me specifically?"

"Because when we're ready, within a reasonable amount of time, Sarah said she'd help us out." He paused to gauge Reid's reaction, but by the blank expression on his face, the kid didn't understand. "Looks like your idea is a-go." He waited for it to sink in.

"What?"

"When we're ready, you're gonna be a dad. We're gonna be parents."

"WHAT?!" Reid shouted. His shocked face soon turned into that of the happiest man alive. "You've already spoken to her?" He was absolutely beaming with excitement.

Morgan smiled with him. "Yeah, sorry… Do you mind?"

"No! Not at all! Oh my God, I can't wait to see her and thank her!"

"We'll make a special trip home and get everything outlined. She says she ain't getting any younger, so we need to start the ball rolling. You okay with that?"

"YES! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I'M GONNA BE A DAD!"

Morgan laughed a little. "Whoa, whoa, tiger… Let's get a lawyer and talk about it with them before we go celebrating." He could see Reid's head was going warp speed. He struggled to gain his attention back and had to snap his fingers in front of his face. "Hey, hey, why don't we go do some practicing?"

"Practicing?"

"Baby makin'," he smirked.

Reid's face was priceless as his smile turned into a mischievous grin.

"Come on, Daddy," Morgan teased.

But hearing that only sent Reid's heart soaring again. "I'm so happy," he repeated twice as Morgan pulled him down the hallway. "This is the happiest day of my life, Morgan."

Morgan grinned over his shoulder. He could see that Reid was wiping fresh tears away. "Do you need a moment?"

"You said 'Yes'… and I never realized I wanted children so badly until now…" Reid chuckled, "Today… Today is the best day… I can't wait to call my mom…"

Morgan stopped them at the bedroom doorway and took Reid's face into his hands. "Seriously, do you need a moment?" He searched his lover's eyes as the young man thought about it.

"No," he answered and blew out a release of air. "I'll call her in the morning." He breathed in as he watched Morgan turned back around.

"Come take a shower with me…" Morgan pulled his shirt over his head and let it drop to the floor.

Reid nodded just before he began to unbutton his shirt, pulling it off and then he quickly moved his hands to his center to undo his belt. He removed his pants and then glanced upward while he pulled his socks off only to see Morgan's bare backside stepping to the bathroom.

As Reid followed, he heard Morgan turning the shower head on. He caught a glance of his own bare bottom from the reflection in the mirror above the sink while he looked over his shoulder before opening the linen closet to grab a couple of towels.

The bathroom steamed up quickly. The two boys smiled at one another as Reid slid the shower door closed. They took turns lathering each other up which turned into a bit of fun foreplay for the both of them.

But soon enough, they were stepping out of the shower, completely by-passing the towels to dry themselves off. They began kissing before exiting the bathroom, holding each other's face and head, wrapping their strong arms around each other and tripping over one another's feet as they stepped.

"We're getting married, Spencer…" Morgan said very quietly as he kissed his lover.

"We're going to have our own family," he responded, nearly entranced. They kissed each other deeply as they made their way to the bed.

"You say the sweetest things," Morgan smiled as he and Reid made themselves comfortable, lowering himself down against Reid as they lay horizontally on the mattress.

Suddenly Reid was distracted. "Oh, no… What are we going to name our child?"

"No, no," Morgan tried to steer Reid's mind back to him by kissing him while holding his face still.

But Reid tilted and turned his head away and then stared up at the ceiling. "If we have a boy, we can name him after your father; that's a given… But we're screwed if we have a girl."

"Reid?"

"If we name her after your mom, then mine might be a little jealous."

"I didn't ask why."

"Or vice versa…" Reid tried to continue. "E-even if we included both names and used one as a middle name," Reid sat up and Morgan let him, turning over onto his back. "I think it would be better if we just came up with something original if we have a girl."

"Maybe you'd rather worry about this when we're actually told she's pregnant?"

Reid nodded in agreement, but it was clear his mind was still racing. "Hey, are you going to help me get my sample?"

Morgan saw a hint of a dirty, dirty boy on the kid's face. "Is that supposed to be sexy talk?"

Reid laughed, "Kinda. When we do it, we can pretend we're at work, sneaking around or something."

"It'd be sexier if your sample wasn't gonna inseminate my sister."

Reid chuckled again. "Yeah, I guess so."

Morgan rubbed at Reid's lower back while he lay next to him. He gave a hard look at Reid's horrible posture, wondering how he was even comfortable with his back curved downward for any amount of time. "Should we just get ready to turn in?"

Reid's head spun around very quickly. "No, why?" His surprise was genuine.

Morgan held up his palms as he spoke. "We were about to break loose here and you just up and went sideways on me."

Reid cleared his throat as he scooted toward the night stand. "Sorry, I'm just so excited." He began rifling through the drawer with purpose.

"Watcha doin'?" Morgan grinned.

"Oh, you know, looking for a condom that will actually fit me."

"Toward the back, player."

Reid pulled the drawer out more and saw the unopened box of condoms that were obviously for him. He didn't hesitate tearing into the box and separating one from the pack. Then he reached for the lubricant.

He was still very hard. Morgan on the other hand… Reid could see he wasn't, but didn't mind, not taking it personally; he could change that in just a few minutes.

When Reid put the condom on right away, Morgan was a little puzzled. "We gonna get right down to business tonight, huh?"

"Do you mind? I promise to make it worth your while." He smirked as he kneeled onto the mattress, promptly placing himself between the legs of his lover.

Morgan remained relaxed on his back, hiding his face with one hand as he smiled. It was truly something else to see Reid as the dominant one in the sack. It turned Morgan on without fail. In the next second, he felt Reid's fingertips on his neck, followed the warmth of his lips as his warm body hovered above. Morgan turned his head to leave his neck wide open to the young man. Reid's mouth opened and his tongue licked at Morgan's skin, tasting him. His kisses got wider, wetness covering more skin, causing Morgan to moan and making his body respond.

Reid bared his teeth and gently bit Morgan and he felt the man beneath him raise his pelvis until their centers mashed together for a heated moment. Then he continued his kisses toward Morgan's chest, softly licking and sucking his right nipple. His hands began to caress Morgan's sides, squeezing firmly, but then only to lift away so as to barely touch him.

Morgan looked down and watched as Reid's mouth slicked a trail down the muscles of his abdomen. He flexed for show, causing Reid to grin and chuckle quietly. Morgan couldn't handle that beautiful smile and had to throw his head back and close his eyes.

Reid teased and teased at Morgan's center. He touched his warm lips to Morgan's fully erect muscle and exhaled hot breath, but wouldn't touch his tongue to it. He pushed his nose into the creases of Morgan's leg, again, breathing hot breath onto Morgan's skin. Morgan groaned as his cock flexed and he then eagerly spread his legs wider and lifting them to completely expose himself to his lover.

No verbal confirmation was need; just a quick glance into his lovers eyes and he knew Morgan was ready. Reid grabbed the bottle of lubricant and immediately opened it up to squeeze a bit onto his fingertips. After applying that to Morgan, he squeezed out a bit more from the container and applied it to himself.

As Reid aligned his muscle for entry, Morgan closed his eyes and licked his lips. Reid's temperature was rising, creating coolness on his forehead as the sweat attempted to cool him. "I love you so much, Derek…" he whispered as he began to push his hips against Morgan, entering him. The veins at his temple bulged as he supported his own weight.

Morgan reached up and touched his open hand to the side of Reid's face. He felt his love for Reid consume him as he looked into his lover's eyes. But the energy coming from Reid was just as consuming. "I can feel it…"

"You can?" Reid immediately thought back to their nights in that seedy motel a couple of years ago. These words were said back then too only it was Reid telling Morgan he could feel it.

Morgan smiled in response. Then he let his hand fall to Reid's trembling elbow and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Put your weight on me…"

"I can't… I can't stop looking at you."

They were completely spellbound by one another. Morgan honestly couldn't take his eyes off of Reid either.

Without much warning, Morgan's cock began spilling seminal fluid. Reid's hips came to a halt and he told Morgan, "Concentrate, Derek... Hold it."

Morgan's first thought was that Reid is nuts. He didn't think he'd be able to stop cumming once he'd started, but then he realized, this orgasm wasn't very intense. His hand automatically moved to his center and Reid watched him pinch himself, trying to cut through the surges of pleasure.

And when Morgan had stopped holding his breath, Reid watched him for another moment to make sure he wasn't still hanging off the edge. And then Reid whispered, "Hands off…"

Morgan took that order with ease and rested one arm over his forehead and the other he used to hold Reid's fist.

Reid changed the angle of his thrusts and Morgan felt the difference immediately, moving his arm away from his forehead and watching for just a second. Reid slowly, but rhythmically drove himself into Morgan, driving so deeply that Morgan began to lose his concentration. Reid glanced down to see his smooth and shiny wrapped muscle nearly fully exit and then push into his lover. A quick moan escaped him and he loosely tucked his knees under Morgan, quickly leaning his upper body into the space between the older man's legs.

Morgan caught himself trying to raise his center just a bit and pull back, somewhat hesitant of the depths that Reid was reaching, but God damn, it felt so good. Reid's moans and groans grew louder and louder while Morgan could only grunt and whimper. The friction between Reid's skin and Morgan's erection was fever inducing as Morgan tried so hard to hold his load.

Reid suddenly smashed his mouth against Morgan's and they tongued each other hungrily. And that was it. Morgan grunted and moaned as he came, squirting their bodies with his semen. And it was so intense that his muscle continued to flex powerfully while Reid unrelentingly kept his pace.

Reid climaxed only minutes later. He tried to keep his rhythm, but ultimately lost himself as he let go. Morgan felt the kid's entire body trembling, but the kid's lower half shook uncontrollably. And his moans were so rich and heavy with lust as he finished… And when he was done, he finally collapsed on top of Morgan.

The two lay breathless and sweaty until Reid finally rolled off of him. While they cooled down, they held hands, both admiring the sight of their engagement rings.

"This is really somethin' else…" Morgan said out loud.

"Yeah…" Reid smiled to himself, but then looked at Morgan who was looking right back at him. He inched closer so that their shoulders touched and then he kissed Morgan on his forehead. After discreetly rolling the condom down a bit, he pulled it off and then dropped it into the small garbage can on his side of the bed.

Morgan raised his arms and clasped his hands behind his head, staring up at the ceiling as Reid fell asleep beside him. He was tired, but he knew he wouldn't be able to fall asleep quickly.

Everything was about to change.
