Hey guys, thank you so much for sticking with me this far, and thank you so much for the reviews, I never intended for this story to get this far, but as all stories do, this one has taken on a life of its own, the moment I think I'm close to finishing something else springs to mind, I am trying to get to the end so I hope I don't bore you all too much. Again thank you all so much for the reviews.

Chapter 5. Lesson's we all must learn.

Derek pulled in to the parking lot stopping in Aaron's space and shut off the engine looking to Aaron to see if he was ready for this, Aaron nodded grimly and got out, Derek and Spencer quickly followed and immediately froze as they realised that the entire student body were staring at the three of them.

At first they thought it was because of how Aaron looked and to be honest it was a pretty fair assumption. However it soon became apparent what the sudden interest was, when a passing cheerleader asked Derek if he and Aaron had started an outreach program for the terminal loser, one patterned ice glare from Aaron had the blonde bimbo ducking for cover.

Spencer didn't like the way his peers were looking at him, the message in their looks were blatantly obvious; he didn't belong and it wouldn't be tolerated. The hostile looks had him clutching his bag against his chest; as though that could offer him protection against everything they wanted to do to him. He was about scarper off to the solace of the library when a hand wrapped tightly around his elbow and Aaron's voice rang out across the lot, the message was pretty clear, He, Spencer Reid was protected.

"The pranks and the hazing you people enjoy pulling on the kid ends today, you have a problem with that, and you come see me. A little piece of friendly advice? I am not in the mood to be fucked with!" The glare Aaron gave them had the remaining students hurrying towards the safety of class, Spencer was stunned.

Aaron looked at the passing students, searching through them to find one in particular, His brother.

"Emily, come on! Your hair is fine, the top look great, you look good enough to eat. Can we go now? We're late already and I want to see Aaron before class starts" Sean sighed impatiently as he watched his girlfriend hover in front of her closet for what must have been the fourth time that morning. He loved Emily, He really did (She was the one he could turn to when the shit hit the fan at home, an occurrence that had become more and more regular lately) but sometimes she really did do his head in. She had to know how worried he was about his brother and yet here she was pissing around with her hair and trying to work out which shirt looked cuter on her! Finally with one last glance in the mirror she deemed herself fit to leave the house, it was all Sean could do not to roll his eyes.

As the two rode to school, Emily stayed quiet, she knew he was upset with her and she knew he was worried about Aaron. She was worried too. Whatever had happened last night had to have been bad for Derek to be texting Sean to tell him he had to stay out. But that wasn't what worried her most; well it did, but for what to her seemed entirely selfish reasons. The problem was that in a couple of months' time, Aaron would be heading off to college, which meant that when his father got in one of his moods there would be no one there to intervene, either to stop his father's ever increasingly violent attacks or to stop Sean from shooting his smart mouth off. She was terrified that with Aaron gone, Sean would no longer keep his tongue and end up back in the hospital, this time with more than a suspiciously broken wrist.

They finally pulled up into the empty parking lot, just as the bell for homeroom rang; Sean got out of the car shooting Emily a filthy look before stalking off to class hoping to catch sight of Aaron in the halls somewhere.

After parting ways from Derek (who was still insistent he see Penelope before he was forced to sit through as he put it abnormally boring lessons all day) Aaron and spencer walked into their class to a collective gasp, one that was caused this time not by the oddity of Spencer and Aaron being seen together but by Aaron's general appearance.

"Shit Hotch, you fall off that ladder getting boy genius down or something?" Tobias asked in a tone that clearly said he knew what the or something was. Spencer burned with humiliation at the reminder of what had been done to him but knew to stay quiet, no one was watching him, and everyone was watching Aaron.

"Alright Mr Hankle, that's quite enough out of you" Clearly misreading the situation Mrs Potter added "Spencer, Aaron, the principal's office. Now" Sighing both boys left the classroom to the utter disbelief of their classmates.

"Awww, Come on hot mama, it's just social studies, we can do that well enough here, just the two of us." Derek smirked. Penelope couldn't help but giggle as he wrapped his arms around her; putting her hand to his chest she pushed him away.

"Uh huh chocolate thunder, you may not care about your education but this super-hot momma is getting into collage, how else am I going to achieve global technological domination?" She grinned as he flashed those big brown puppy dog eyes that were guaranteed to stop a girl's heart at forty paces. Unfortunately for him Penelope was immune to that look and stepped back with her hands on her hips, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

"Besides the sooner we get to class the sooner you and I get to enjoy free period together, and you know what that means"

Derek grinned, stepping closer to her, capturing her in his arms once again.

"Oh yeah, Sweet thing, I know that that means. It means you're going torture me into doing homework" She laughed again standing up on her tip toes to kiss him deeply wrapping her arms around his neck as he pinned her between the wall and his warm, oh so deliciously defined body. What the hell, class could wait five minutes, she thought as she melted against him and his kiss.
