When he, Morgan, had suggested the team hit a club instead of their usual bar he hadn't been surprised with the reactions. Prentiss, JJ, and Garcia had been all for it. Rossi and Hotch naturally declined; Hotch with the reason he wanted to spend time with Jack and Rossi with the excuse that he was old and wanted to spend time at home. Reid had, of course, had to be convinced, stating that clubs weren't really his thing and he wasn't really comfortable around so many people. Then he went off spouting statistics until Morgan nearly put his hand over Reid's mouth just to shut him up. Nonetheless Morgan practically spent all day at Reid's desk trying to convince him, until finally Reid agreed if only to get Morgan to shut up, stop bugging him, and let him get some work done. Morgan left Reid's desk to go back to his own with a smile on his face and a feeling of accomplishment.

Lights flashed, music pounded, bodies pressed all around him, to Derek Morgan this was a normal scene; what had him grinning but very confused was the young genius a few feet away from him.
Morgan had never seen Reid like this; for all Reid's protests of not being able to dance and the club not being his scene he looked extremely comfortable. Morgan had never seen Reid act with such abandon, the genius had only had two drinks, but the look on his face was almost serene, his arms raised, his hips moving in time to the music. He was dancing with both Prentiss and JJ and he looked… hot.
Morgan shook his head at the thought. He liked girls. Didn't he? But he couldn't stop staring at Reid. He shook his head again and turned his attention back to Garcia, with whom he was dancing, missing the smirk on her face at catching him staring at Reid—again.
After a few more songs Morgan found himself almost on top of Reid on the dance floor, boxed in by moving people and his female friends, with no where to go. Not wanting to make Reid uncomfortable and ruin the night, Morgan danced a little more reserved than he normally would and tried to stay as close to the girls as possible. He glanced over at Garcia for a split second and suddenly felt hands on his waist. Morgan looked up and met Reid's brown eyes, they were clear of alcohol and full of determination.
A new song started and Morgan pulled Reid closer to him, he could feel his heart pounding at his sudden boldness. What the hell, thought Morgan and he threw all caution into the wind. Reid started it. Morgan started moving his hips again letting the music take him. It felt right having Reid against him like this. The look of pure happiness on Reid's face was too much for Morgan and before he realized what he was doing his lips were on Reid's.
Reid's lips were soft and warm but the kiss was very chaste. Morgan pulled away, as soon as his brain caught with his actions, and began to walk off when Reid's hand caught his own and prevented him from going any further.
Reid turned, his hand still holding Morgan's, and said something to Garcia, who had been watching the whole exchange with interest and glee, as had JJ and Prentiss. She nodded and gave Reid a little push back towards Morgan. Reid then put his lips right next to Morgan's ear, his hot breath almost making Morgan shiver. Reid shouted to be heard over the music, "Want to get out of here and grab a bite somewhere? I hear Waffle House is really good and I could use a cup of coffee."
Morgan nodded and pulled Reid off the dance floor towards the exit away from their smiling female friends. He wasn't quite sure if this meant he was gay, straight, bi, or whatever, but he would deal with that later. Right now he was just excited about where this new development would lead.
