"You look like hell," Dr. Spencer Reid looked over the book he was reading, as Derek Morgan sat across from him.
"Don't even say anything, I don't have time to lose five minutes of my life, hearing you explain some innate piece of trivia!" Derek snapped, placing his head in his hands. He had had a headache coming on for the past hour, and in the last few seconds it seemed to got worse. He could probably ask someone for some aspirin but he didn't feel going through the list of team members if the first person he asked didn't have any pain relievers.
Derek peeked at Spencer through the spaces between his fingers. The young man was watching him with sadness in his chocolate brown eyes, and it made Derek feel bad for yelling at him.
Spencer realized Derek was looking at him, and ducked his head back in the book; A strand of brown hair falling in his face, as he did so. He didn't want his friend to snap at him again.
"I'm sorry," Derek whispered.
"It's okay," Spencer mouth, the sound not coming from his lips.
Derek just nodded, and looked out the window. He shouldn't feel so guilty about yelling at Reid, but Spencer needed to learn that sometimes trivia was just useless and no one really needed to hear it. Derek swore sometimes that Spencer used it as a shield to hide not only his emotions but how everyone else's emotions had a way of affecting him. But knowing that the penny and the five dollar bill had Lincoln on both sides wasn't going to cure his headache right now.
There was silence for five minutes, before Derek asked. "Do you have any aspirin?" He removed his head from his hands, as he watched Reid for a few minutes.
Spencer reached into his bag by his side, and tossed Derek a small blister pack of what appeared to be two Orange Chewable baby Aspirin.
"You know someone's going to make a joke about you carrying around baby Aspirin." Derek chuckled as he caught the blister pack.
"How about if I am not allowed to spout innate trivia, you aren't allowed to needle me about what kind of aspirin is in my bag." Spencer said as he looked over the top of his book.
"Fine, that sounds okay." Derek got up voluntarily, and got a glass of water.
Derek came back and opened the blister pack, and popped the aspirin in his mouth before he drained the water from the cup.
"You know you don't---""Yes, I know." Derek cut him off, making sure his voice wasn't snapping. He didn't need Reid to point out the fact he didn't necessarily need the water for the chewable aspirin. "I was thirsty, deal with it."
Spencer opened his mouth as to say something, but Derek's phone went off.
"Hey Baby girl," Derek said after seeing Garcia's name on his caller id.
Spencer went back to his book, so Morgan could shamelessly flirt with Garcia.
