Kevin stood awkwardly at Derek's front door. HE shuffled on his feet and cleared his throat.
Kevin softly said, "Agent Morgan I know we aren't friends or anything but I really need your help."
Derek cleared his throat trying to hide the shock and confusion on his handsome features.
"Alright Kevin what do you need help with?"
"I want to ask my girlfriend to marry me, but I have no clue what to do. As you could tell from last time, I suck at proposals. Hey you called me Kevin instead of Lynch."
Derek chuckled and said, "I guess I did. Kevin come on in. Tell me about this girl."
Kevin smiled and said, "Thanks agent Morgan."
"Kevin just call me Derek."
"Oh okay um Derek."
Kevin saying Derek's first name sounded foreign to everyone.
Kevin started talking about his girlfriend.
"You see she is really special. Not to say that Penelope isn't..but..you know how that ended."
"Hey Kevin."
"Yes Morgan."
"You are babbling."
"Oh sorry. I am just so nervous. I mean what if I screw this one up too."
"Kevin don't worry about it. I mean…. Shit this is awkward."
Kevin chuckled and said, "Trust me; it isn't lost on me that I am asking Derek Morgan for advice on how to propose…."
Derek raised an eyebrow and asked, "What makes you think I don't know how to propose?"
Kevin looked around the room and replied, "Aren't you the one that said you weren't ever going to get married?"
Derek sat back and said, "True, but I asked the one girl in the entire world that matters to me, and she said yes…sooo… I guess my advice is useful.
Kevin looked like a fish out of water. "You and… Penny…I uhh. Congrats man."
"Thanks Kevin. Now back to your lady. What does she like?"
"She is pretty simple. She likes long walks, and reading. She never bugs me about my video games, and I found that I play them less and less. Morgan she is kind and sweet. "
"Kevin I hate to pry, but how did you meet a girl so fast? I mean P and I have known each other for years, so it wasn't really….Kevin did you do what I think you did?"
Kevin muttered, "Damn I hate profilers. Derek no I didn't cheat on Penny, I met Jayne years ago when I started working in Quantico. I was kind of going through what you and Penny were going through. When I met her she had a boyfriend. Why do you think I was so understanding when Penelope broke up with me?"
"Man Lynch I am sorry. It is a shitty position to be in."
Kevin sighed and said, "Don't I know it. Don't get me wrong I love Penny still, but always like a friend. I knew eventually you would get your head out of your ass. I was hoping I would be the one to help do it."
Derek replied, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Morgan everyone in the whole world could see that you and Penny belonged together. I was actually surprised that after she was shot, that she wasn't with you. I mean you stayed next to her, every single day until she came back to work."
Derek rubbed his head and had to admit to himself that he should have taken a chance a long time ago.
Kevin said, "Morgan… I"
Just then the front door opened.
"Hey hot stu….Kevin?"
"Hey Penny."
"Not that I am not happy to see you, but what are you doing here?"
Kevin laughed and said, "I am prying romantic advice from Morgan."
Penelope raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Derek held his hands up and said, "He wants help to propose to his girlfriend."
Penelope smiled and said, "Jayne is perfect for you."
It was Kevin's turn to raise his eyebrows. "Penny how did you know?"
"Silly I have always known."
Derek and Kevin went to help unload the bags for Penelope. While the two men were standing outside, Derek got a brilliant idea.
"Kevin I didn't get to propose to Penelope the way I wanted to. I have the cards of some people that were going to help me. Call them and see what you guys can come up with."
"Wow Morgan you would do that?"
"Kevin I can stop hating you now. I have Penelope."
They both laughed. Derek gave Kevin the cards and said, "Hey Lynch if you want stop by later."
Kevin cocked his head and said, "Really."
"Yeah man. Bring Jayne."
"Sure. Anything I can bring?"
"I think I got it covered. If you want bring a six pack of your favorite."
"Beer got it."
Derek jogged back in the house and closed the door.
Kevin walked to his Honda whistling. For the first time in a long time he didn't have to worry about Derek hauling off and kicking his ass.
Penelope smiled and asked, "So love bug you and Kevin are BFFs now?"
Derek snorted and said, "Hardly. I will tell you what I told him." Derek wrapped his arms around Penelope and kissed her soundly. He lifted her ring finger and kissed her knuckles.
Penelope shivered.
Derek cupped her cheeks and said, "I told him I could stop hating him now, because I got my girl."
"Oh Derek. I love you so much."
"Baby girl I love you too."
They broke apart. "Now your man has to go cave man on some steaks, and burgers. Don't worry sweetness I got vegetables to grill for you."
"Thank you Angel fish."
Penelope baked herself silly, while Derek tended to the grill, waiting for the other male members of the BAU to show up so they could put in their two cents on how to grill. It was sort of a male bitch session tradition.
Reid would insist on using a meat thermometer. Rossi would roll his eyes and complain about dry rub versus marinating. Hotch would scoff at all of them and insist her was the master of the grill. This year Derek hid the meat thermometer to see if Reid would freak out.
Penelope was bustling around mixing and measuring, and making a big ol' mess. Derek chuckled at his angel covered in frosting and flour.
"Hey baby you need some help?"
"Nope my chocolate Adonis I am almost done."
Derek stood behind Penelope and started kissing her neck.
"Derek not that I don't…that's good… love this but, our guess will be here soon."
Derek completely ignored Penelope. He hands roamed all over her backside. He started untying her apron.
Derek kissed a particularly sensitive spot on Penelope's neck that caused her knees to go weak,
Derek snuck his hands under Penelope's skirt and had reached the top of her panties when the door bell rang.
Derek growled, Penelope giggled.
Penelope stepped to move away from Derek. He lifted her skirt completely, and gave her a hard swat on the bottom. Penelope's eyes went wide, and Derek smirked.
"Later princess." Derek left her panting, and went to greet his guests.
As always read and review.
So my muse finally found her way home.
I have this weird idea of the BAU being made up of supernatural beings. Tell me what you want the team members to be. I was kind of thinking
Rossi-Werewolf
Morgan-Vampire
Hotch-A Demon who wants to redeem himself
Reid-An actual Wizard
JJ-Pixie, or maybe an elf, possibly a fairy
Garcia-An actual Goddess
Strauss-A Succubus or Medusa
I am also debating using Blake or Prentiss, or both.
I really want to know what you guys think.
