"Hey Morgan?"

Derek looked up from his cup of coffee to see a very timid looking Reid and couldn't help but chuckle a little bit.

"Whatchya need, kid?"

He continued to watch in amusement as his younger teammate squirmed, wringing his hands and avoiding all eye contact.

"Um, well, I kinda like this girl and uh, I really don't know how to, uh-"

"Hey guys." Briana greeted cheerfully as she walked into the break room wearing a light brown t-shirt and bleached-out jeans, her hair a mess.

Derek repressed a laugh at Spencer's obvious nervousness around the woman. His face was completely flushed and it was a miracle his hands were still attached to his wrists. Whatever he was freaking out about before just got ten-times worse.

"So what were you doing with your so called "day-off", Parker?" Morgan asked with a smile, trying to avoid the awkward silence that was hanging so delicately above them.

She turned around and gave him a dazzling smile, "Playing football in the park with some friends. You guys?"

"Just chilled at home with Clooney."

"Clooney?"

"My dog. So what about you, Pretty Boy? How was you're "day-off"?"

Reid's eyes went as wide as they had ever been and his cheeks and lips drained of all color. Had Morgan not known any better, he'd bet that the kid was about to walk into an all-girls middle school wearing an Anti-Twilight shirt.

"Um, uh, f-fine, I guess."

Briana giggled and smiled at the flustered young man.

"Alright then," She began as she started walking out of the room, "I'm going to go talk to Strauss and find out just what the hell was going on."

Derek watched the woman walked down the hall and turn out of sight.

She was gorgeous, there was no doubt about that. She had a strikingly beautiful face and an amazing body. He had seen her on her first day down in the lobby and had a mind to ask her out. A call from Hotch took care of that. After he found out about her new role, all of the attraction was gone in an instant.

But now it was back. And with a vengeance.

"-and I have no idea how to do that and I was hoping you could give me some pointers."

Wait. Was Reid talking this whole time?

"Sorry, kid, could you repeat that?"

He looked on as a still nervous Spencer took a deep breath and started over.

"There's a new girl in my building and I really like her and I think I want to ask her out, but I don't know how and-"

"Well alright!" Derek exclaimed with a proud smile and a pat on the shoulder to Reid, "Way to go Lover Boy."

"I haven't asked her out yet!" Reid countered with a fierce blush. Morgan caught on in a second.

"Have you done something else?"

The red face gave Morgan his answer.

"Damn kid!" He laughed.

"W-we didn't do anything like, like that. We just kinda ki-kissed and stuff." Reid defended as he stumbled over his words.

"And stuff?"

"W-well..."

Just then, a flood of color burst through the door. When the hyper-active personified rainbow caught sight of Reid wearing his signature red face from years ago, a wicked smile graced a purple-painted lips.

"And just what are we talking about, hmm?" Garcia questioned evilly as she walked over to Morgan's side.

"Pretty Boy's got a crush." Derek filled her in, "Haven't been on a date yet, but have already 'kissed and stuff'."

A twisted little glint flashed through her eyes as she turned her attention to a very uncomfortable Reid.

"What's 'and stuff'?"

Reid just ran his hands over his face and shook his head 'no', going out of his way to avoid eye contact.

"No?" Garcia asked, "Fine, we'll guess. Was the kiss a sweet little cliche kiss, or was it a steamy make-out session kiss?"

Reid crossed one arm over his chest and used the other hand to cover his mouth. With that hand, he put up two fingers.

"Make-out session?" Garcia asked in shock and a wide smile.

Reid nodded.

"Omigod, omigod, omigod!" She exclaimed, hopping up and down, "Okay, okay. What ended the kiss?"

Reid mimed 'phone'.

"A phone call?" *insert nodding Spencer here :p* "Ooooo, alright, what do you think would have happened had there not been the phone call?"

For an answer, Reid just simply walked away to the counter.

With a squeal from Garcia and hardy chuckle from Morgan, Reid's face color deepened ten more shades. Morgan was actually surprised the poor kid's face hadn't exploded from the blood- pressure yet.

"Look," the poor guy said in frustration, "Are you going to help me or not?"

The two others laughed before Morgan replied.

"Alright kid, regardless of whatever did or didn't happen with the kiss, you still have to treat her like a lady. She'll want sweetness and romance, not just a passionate night or two."

"Yeah, I figured that much," Reid told him, "But I'm not sure how to do the whole 'sweet' thing."

Garcia took this as her queue.

"Okay, you could get her a puppy with a cute little purple bow tied on the collar. Or you could send her a dozen roses, or take her horse-back riding on the beach, or-"

"-Or you could ask her out to get a cup a coffee." Hotch suggested as he walked pass the open room.

The three just looked after him before Morgan turned to Reid.

"I'd go with that."

Spencer looked to the other side of the plane where Briana sat alone filling out some paperwork. Of the entire team, she undoubtedly had the most to do.

He looked around and noticed everyone in their own worlds, paying no attention whatsoever to this one. It was now or never. He got up and started walking over to Briana, still wearing her football attire. 'This is my day off. You went outside of your rights and called me in. For the rest of the goddamned day, I will wear whatever the hell I want.' were her exact words to Strauss on the matter.

All of the air left Spencer's lungs when Briana looked up at him with- what were today- stunningly gray eyes.

"Um, I was, uh, wondering..." Geez, great start, Genius. "Umm...What is on your shirt?" Nice job. Way to stay on topic.

"A picture of a mole." She replied simply with a smile. "The picture it's self made out of Avogadro's number."

Spencer laughed at the Chemistry pun and gave her a look. "That is...so incredibly nerdy."

She laughed with him, her smile widening, "I know, but I'm a nerd, so it all works out. I actually tried to explain it to one of my friends. He just looked at the shirt, looked at me, pointed at the shirt and said 'that's not an avocado.'"

"Your friends are rather special, aren't they?" Spencer joked, feeling much more comfortable than a few minutes ago.

"I love my friends, I do," She assured him before continuing, "but I wish that I could have an intellectually stimulating conversation with someone, you know?"

Alright Reid, now's your chance.

"Well, uh, hopefully on the same page," He began again, praying that he would stay on topic this time, "I was uh, wondering, if uh, you might want to get a cup of coffee after the case is over."

She looked up at him with a warm, sincere smile gracing her lips. "Yeah, I'd really like that."

"Great!" He squeaked out, mentally cursing his vocal cords and clearing his throat, "Um, I don't know when the case will be over...so..."

"We'll play it by ear." She told him, still wearing her fantastic smile.

"So... I guess I'll see you later."

"Buh-bye." She said playfully, "Have a safe trip to the other end of the plane."

Not really knowing what to do next, Spencer just gave her a small wave before walking back to where he came from.

He took a seat and put his elbows on the table in front of him, resting his head in his hands, letting out a sigh of relief. His head shot up when giggling echoed through the cabin. He saw a merry Briana looking over the back of her seat. She gave him a flirtatious little wave before sitting back down.

Reid put his head back into his palms, thoroughly embarrassed.

"Damnit."

A/N: 1) Falling off of a one-story roof is damned funny, but still hurts like hell lol

2) I do not hate Seaver. If you do, stop being a little sixth grader and get over yourself. We were just introduced to her, don't hate on 'the new kid' before you know any real thing about her.

3)I've never asked anyone out, but I'm assuming it's rather nerve-wracking. And Briana isn't being a bitch, she's just being playful and flirty.

4) I had this whole thing typed, then as I went to save it, the f*#!%^ site logged me off without informing me, so all of my work was lost and I had to re-type it all.

5) link to Briana's awesome shirt and so many more at the top of my profile!
