XXV: Christmas Music/Movies

Spencer felt Derek shaking his arm, but he knew he must be joking - they actually had a day off, and he was going to sleep in for a change. When the shaking only persisted, he groaned loudly, turning his head to face Derek and glaring at him.

"What?!" he snapped.

"Merry Christmas to you, too," Derek said, smiling at him and kissing his forehead.

Spencer whimpered, turning to the alarm clock on his nightstand. "There's nothing 'merry' about 6:45 in the morning on a day off."

Derek kissed his cheek, whispering in his ear. "There's coffee brewing, cinnamon rolls being baked, and presents to be opened."

Spencer glared again. "And they'll all still be there after I've slept!"

Derek rubbed his arm. "I'll tell you what? If you wake up, have some breakfast, and open your presents without being a major Grinch, the two of us will stay in bed together afterward until we have to leave for Rossi's."

Spencer thought about it before sighing, sitting up and pushing the blankets off of himself. "You're lucky I love you," he mumbled, running a hand through his hair. He rested a hand on Derek's cheek, moving in and kissing him softly. "Merry Christmas."

The two of them sat at the kitchen table, eating breakfast and drinking coffee, giving Spencer time to wake up. Once he did, they relocated to the living room, sitting in front of the tree. Before they could start opening presents, Derek leaned over, turning on his Christmas playlist on his iPod.

Spencer raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"

He pointed to the speakers. "Making it as Christmas-y as possible while we open gifts."

"Because opening Christmas gifts and being upset while opening our credit card bills next month isn't going to be enough of an indicator that it's 'Christmas-y'?"

Derek smirked. "Just humor me."

Spencer shook his head. "Sometimes, I swear, I'm the adult in this relationship," Spencer told him as 'I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas' started playing.

He shrugged. "It's not always a bad thing to be a kid, especially at Christmas time."

Spencer laughed softly, handing Derek his first present. "If you say so."

Once they were done exchanging gifts and 'thank you's, as promised, they laid in bed together. Spencer wrapped Derek's arms around him, resting his head on his chest.

"Did you like it?" Derek asked, kissing the top of his head and rubbing his arm.

Spencer nodded against his chest, smiling. "I really did. I appreciate that you paid for a flight to Vegas in a few months so we can go visit my mom, and I'm sure you liked the Blackhawks tickets-"

"Liked is an understatement."

He smirked. "Well, I'm glad."

Later that afternoon, the two of them changed out of their pajamas, and Derek drove them over to Rossi's mansion. The one rule of their gathering was that every person, or pair if they came as a couple, had to bring their favorite Christmas movie to watch on his big screen.

"Which movie did you pick?" Derek asked, turning to him at a red light.

Spencer took the DVD out of his bag, showing it to him.

Derek smirked. "The Nightmare Before Christmas? I wasn't aware you were a Burton fan."

"Though it was originally Burton's idea and story? Henry Selick directed it, as Tim Burton was too busy working on Batman Returns."

Derek put up his hands. "My mistake."

Spencer smiled. "And how could I not pick the movie? It combines my favorite holiday, Halloween, and your favorite holiday, Christmas."

"Touche."

When they arrived at Rossi's, they gave everyone hugs and 'Merry Christmas's before settling in the living room. Once everyone arrived, Rossi set out bottles of wine, along with scotch for himself and juice boxes for the kids.

"Are all of our movies appropriate?" he asked, picking up the DVDs and looking through them.

Garcia put up her hand. "Mine will have to wait until the little ones are asleep."

Emily glanced over at her. "...What in the world did you pick?"

"Let me guess," Rossi said, scanning the movies and holding up a case. "You?"

She nodded. "Guilty?"

JJ leaned in, reading the cover. "Voyage of the Damned? I've never heard of it."

"Oh, it's great," Spencer spoke up, leaning against Derek. "It's a Doctor Who Christmas special where the Doctor lands the TARDIS on a Titanic starliner, and its orbiting present day Earth, and-"

Derek put a hand over his mouth. "And we'll see for ourselves when we watch it."

Spencer rolled his eyes, pushing his hand off. "Thank you, Derek."

JJ sorted through them, humming to herself. "While we're in the presence of children? I say we start with this one." She said, holding up The Nightmare Before Christmas. "Whoever brought this is a saint, because it's Henry's favorite and his DVD started skipping a few days ago." Spencer held up his hand and she scoffed. "Of course, godfather of the year."

He shrugged, wrapping Derek's arm around himself. "I'm just that good."

They made it through The Nightmare Before Christmas and Elf before Henry fell asleep, and they were halfway through How the Grinch Stole Christmas! when Jack started getting tired. He stayed awake through the rest of it, before walking to one of Rossi's guest rooms and sleeping.

"If you want to leave with the tots, I'll understand," Rossi said, looking between the two of them.

Hotch shrugged. "He's fine, and besides, I want to see how there's a Titanic in the sky. You, JJ?"

"I'm with Hotch on this one."

Garcia clapped excitedly, putting in her DVD and sitting on the couch. "You can all see how great the Whovian world is."

"I already know," Derek spoke up, "Spencer insists that we need to be home in time for this year's Christmas special."

"I have it on the DVR, but good thinking, 187!"

While they were watching the Christmas special, Spencer and Garcia were frequently answering questions that anyone on the team had about the show. Toward the end, Derek turned to her.

"...Did he just say Allons-y to that guy named Alonso?"

She nodded. "That he did."

"...And you said 'Allons-y' before hanging up on a call a couple of weeks ago… you Doctor Who'd me?"

"That I did. You're very welcome."

He shook his head, smirking and squeezing Spencer's arm.

"So, this Christmas special is on at 9?" Rossi asked, turning to Spencer and Garcia. When they nodded, he sighed. "Want to just watch it here so you three aren't rushing home?"

Spencer nodded. "On BBC America, do you have that channel?"

Rossi gave him a look. "Does it look like I don't have a channel?"

Everyone laughed at Spencer, making him blush and bury his head in Derek's chest. The rest of them spent the next hour and a half watching the special and watching the reactions of the two devout Whovians in their company.

When the two of them finally made it home, Derek let Clooney outside and then back in, before walking to the bedroom and changing into his pajamas. He laid down beside Spencer, wrapping his arms around him and kissing the back of his head.

Spencer turned to face him, smiling tiredly. "Merry Christmas, Derek," he whispered.

Derek kissed his forehead. "Merry Christmas, Pretty Boy."
