A/N: So here's the next chapter, and you guys get to find out what's going to happen with Garcia. This chapter's actually quite a bit longer than the other ones, which I hope you'll enjoy. And for those of you reading my Reid/JJ fic, And I Always Will, I hope to have it up by the end of today, Australian time. I hit a severe writer's block, and I couldn't think of anything to write for a while. But anyway, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds.

Garcia looked from Reid, to Morgan, and back to Reid again. "Seriously, Reid. Why are you here? Is there something going on here I don't know about?"

"Now why would you think that, gorgeous?" said Morgan, switching easily into 'flirting with Garcia' mode. Reid remained silent, unsure of what to say. Part of knew he should trust Morgan with this, but part of him wanted to tell Garcia what they had been doing a few minutes earlier. "The kid and I were just going over some stuff for work. No biggie."

Morgan pulled Garcia away from Reid and began to talk to her. Reid couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he could tell from Morgan's body language and his face that he was flirting with Garcia. Reid knew they always did this, always. Still, a feeling rose up in Reid that he'd never felt before. A feeling that was very strong, a feeling that meant Reid wished that it were him standing there and not Garcia. Jealousy.

Reid knew he shouldn't feel this way. Morgan and Garcia flirted all the time, and he knew their relationship was purely platonic. And he'd never had a problem with it before. But then again, he'd never had a romantic dinner for two and a make out session on the couch with Morgan right before he flirted with Garcia. The older man turned on the charm for her too easily.

Reid got up from his spot on the couch, and walked over to where the two of them were talking. "I think I'm going to go home and get some sleep," he announced.

Morgan turned to look at him. "We're not going to be much longer," he said. Reid could see the confusion in his face.

"No, I think I need to go," Reid said. Before Morgan could say anything else, Reid walked past Morgan and Garcia and out the door.

"What was all that about?" Garcia asked. Morgan had no answer.

When Morgan arrived in the office the next day, he fully intended to talk to Reid about what had happened when Garcia had walked in. It didn't take him long to realise, however, that Reid was avoiding him. When Reid had seen him walking towards the bullpen, he'd immediately risen from his seat and headed for Hotch's office. He hadn't even looked at Morgan.

Morgan had never been more confused. He knew Reid had enjoyed the meal, and he was pretty sure that he had enjoyed kissing him, but now Reid wouldn't so much as glance at him. There was only one thing for Morgan to do.

"JJ?" he said, knocking on the door to her office.

"I'm kinda busy, Morgan," JJ said without looking up.

"It's about Spencer," Morgan said.

JJ instantly looked up. "Come in, and close the door," she said. JJ motioned for Morgan to sit down. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Everything was going great, but now Spencer's ignoring me, and I don't know why," Morgan said.

"Tell me what happened," JJ suggested. "Maybe I can help."

"He was so nervous, and so was I," Morgan began. "He told me he'd never been on a real date before, so I- I just held him for a while. Then dinner was ready, so we ate, and I could tell he loved it. Then I kinda pulled him across the table and kissed him." JJ smiled at that, "He warned me that there was a burning candle below us, so I pulled him over to the couch. He hesitated again, but I told him I just wanted to kiss him, which was all we did, but then somebody was at the door. We were going to ignore it, but… it was Garcia."

"Did you let her in?" JJ asked.

"I had to. Spencer told me to," Morgan replied. "She didn't suspect anything, though."

"Did you flirt with her?" JJ asked suddenly.

"What?"

"Did you flirt with her?" JJ repeated harshly.

"Of course I did! I always do, Spencer knows that!" Morgan said defensively.

"Yes, but you've never flirted with her right after you were making out with him! He was jealous, Morgan."

Morgan could have kicked himself, it was that obvious. Of course Reid was jealous- Morgan had gone from kissing him to flirting with Garcia in a matter of minutes! And with Reid's insecurities…

"I really stuffed up, didn't I, JJ?" Morgan groaned. "I wasn't thinking, all I was worried about was hiding it from Garcia, and I wound up hurting him."

JJ had never seen Morgan look so upset. He really, truly, cared about Reid- loved him. He couldn't bear to think that he'd hurt him. "You can fix it, Derek," JJ said in a much softer voice. "But you're going to have to do it yourself; you know Spencer."

"Yeah," Morgan sighed. "But what if he won't listen to me?"

"He will, Derek, don't worry about that," JJ assured him. "You are the single most important thing in this world to him. He loves you. Just talk to him. Please."

Morgan nodded. "I will." He rose from his seat. "I've got to do this now. If we go all day not talking… the others will realise something's up. And I can't leave the kid feeling like this… I can't do this to him."

"Good luck, Derek," JJ whispered as Morgan left her office.

Morgan headed straight for the bullpen. This time Prentiss was at her desk and Reid was working, so he had no opportunity to get away. "Can I talk to you for a sec, Reid?" Morgan asked.

"I'm kind of busy, Morgan," Reid said shortly, not looking up. Prentiss looked between the two of them, confused.

"Please, kid?" Morgan said. "It's important."

Reid looked up, and saw the pleading look in Morgan's eyes. "Well, okay, I guess…" He got up and followed Morgan into the break room, Prentiss staring after them as they went.

As soon as both men stepped into the break room, Morgan shut the door behind them. "We need to talk, kid," he said.

"What is there to talk about?" said Reid. "Garcia came, so I left. We have to keep the secret, right?"

"I know there's more than that, Spencer," Morgan said. "I was talking to JJ, and she told me how you would've felt after I started flirting with Garcia. I've been an idiot."

Reid didn't know what to say. Part of him wanted to immediately comfort Morgan, but the other part wanted to agree that Morgan had been an idiot.

"I know you were jealous, Spencer," Morgan continued. "And that's my fault. I shouldn't have flirted with Garcia right after I was kissing you. I shouldn't have done that, and I am so, so sorry."

"I'd never felt like that before," said Reid. "I- I didn't even know it was possible to feel that jealous about anyone."

"It's perfectly understandable, kid," said Morgan. "I flirted with a woman while I was on a date with you. Even if it was Garcia, I should never have done that. Especially knowing you."

"I don't want to lose you, Derek," Reid said simply.

"I don't want to lose you either, Spencer," Morgan replied. "What I did was stupid, and I'm sorry. I'll- I'll stop flirting with Garcia, if you want."

"You don't have to do that, Derek," Reid said quickly. "I guess it was just… the context of the situation, that's all. Flirting with her at work, I honestly don't mind that. Besides, if you stop flirting with her altogether, she will know that something's up."

"We're going to have to spin some sort of lie for her, though," Morgan said. "She saw you ignoring me, you just walked out suddenly last night, and I'm not entirely sure that she believed me when I said you were there for work."

"What are you going to say?" Reid asked.

"I don't know," Morgan admitted. "We can't tell her the truth… unless you want to?"

Reid started to say no, but then he stopped. "We might have to," he said finally.

Morgan was shocked. Reid wanted to come out to Garcia? "Seriously, Spencer?" Reid hesitated another moment, and then he nodded. "What brought this on? You're the one that wanted to keep us a secret in the first place."

"It's Garcia, Derek," said Reid. "She'll find out eventually, and it would be a lot better for us if we told her ourselves. And you said you needed another explanation for why I was at your house last night; what could be better than the truth?"

Morgan thought over Reid's argument, quickly realizing that he was right. "It could be a good thing to have Garcia on our side," he mused. "She could help us hide it from everyone else." Morgan reached out and took Reid's hand. "Are we really going to do this?" he whispered. "We're really going to tell Garcia about us?"

Reid nodded, raising the hand that he had joined with Morgan's. "Yes. We are."

Reid and Morgan walked towards the doorway, regretfully releasing each other's hand when they opened the door and walked out into the busy bullpen. Both Reid and Morgan saw JJ looking at them from her office, and they nodded at her as they walked together towards Garcia's lair. She stared after him, wondering if her suspicions were true and they were about to do what they'd told her they couldn't do.

"Hey, baby girl," Morgan said as he and Reid reached Garcia's doorway.

Garcia turned away from her computer screens, to see the two agents standing there. "Hey, you two. What brings you to my lair?"

"We have something to tell you, Garcia," said Morgan, walking straight into Garcia's office and taking the seat beside her. Reid hesitated in the doorway, his nerves returning. He didn't know how to do this.

"What's wrong, boy wonder?" Garcia asked. "You still aren't still avoiding each other, are you?" Reid shook his head, still not moving from the doorway. "Has this got to do with last night?"

Reid nodded, but still didn't speak. Morgan realized his nerves, and said, "Spencer, close the door behind you."

Reid nodded again and closed the door, finally walking over to join Morgan and Garcia. Garcia looked between the two men, confused. "Did you just call him Spencer? You never use his first name. What's going on?"

"When I said that Spencer was at my house to talk about work… I lied," Morgan said.

Garcia looked at him, confused. "Well, I figured as much," she said. "But why did you have to lie to me, though?"

"Because," Reid spoke up, startling the other two, "the reason I was there… we couldn't tell anybody. Not even you."

"But now we have to," Morgan continued. "Partly because we know you're starting to get suspicious, partly because we need you to help us hide this, and partly because we couldn't lie to you anymore."

"Okay, now you're worrying me," said Garcia. "What's going on?"

"It's nothing bad, Garcia," Morgan assured her. "Well, we don't think so, and I'm pretty sure you won't."

"Come on guys, stop beating around the bush. Just tell me."

"Okay, first things first," said Reid. "There is a reason why I never date. A reason why I got mad when Derek would make fun of me for that." He took a deep breath, Garcia studying him. "I'm gay."

Garcia's eyes grew wide. "You- you are?" Reid nodded. "I mean, not that I'm against that, but I'm just- I'm shocked. I can't believe I didn't see it."

"I didn't exactly make it obvious, Garcia," said Reid. "I didn't even know about it until recently."

"Hang on a sec," said Garcia. "What does this have to do with why you were at Morgan's house?" Morgan just looked at her, an eyebrow raised. "I don't get it," she said. "For once in my life, I don't get it."

"Spencer, I think we should just show her what we mean," Morgan suggested.

Reid turned to look at Morgan. "Are you sure?" he asked. Morgan nodded. "Okay then."

Morgan got up from his seat, and stood directly in front of Reid. "This is what I mean," Morgan said. He reached out, pulled Reid towards him with both hands, and kissed him.

It was a long moment before Reid and Morgan broke apart. When they did, Garcia was just staring at them. "My gorgeous stud-muffin and my boy genius, together?" she said. Reid and Morgan nodded. "Wow. How did I not see this coming?"

"Because I was always with a different woman," Morgan replied. "Emphasis on the woman. Not even I knew, until Prentiss and me kinda pushed pretty boy a little too far. I realised I hurt him, and, well, it felt different. That's when I knew how I felt."

"I just never admitted it to myself," Reid added.

"So when I showed up at your house last night…" said Garcia.

"We were on a date, yes," Morgan finished.

"He cooked me dinner," said Reid. "I never knew he could cook."

"And when you showed up, baby girl, we were making out on the couch," Morgan said, catching Reid's eye and grinning. Reid looked down at his feet embarrassed, but with a slight smile on his face.

"I have to admit, I don't think I've ever seen you this happy, Reid," Garcia said.

Reid looked up and looked directly at Morgan. "That's because I've never been this happy. I didn't even know it was possible."

"For a genius, you can be kind of dumb sometimes," Garcia said. "Of course it's possible to be this happy. You just have to find the right person to make it happen."

"Too bad we can't tell anyone," Morgan sighed.

"Does anyone else know?" Garcia asked.

"JJ," Reid replied.

"You told JJ before you told me?" Garcia exclaimed.

"Actually, technically JJ told me," Reid said. Derek and Prentiss were making fun of me, again, and then I was in the break room and JJ walked in. She just asked me 'how long?' and I knew what she meant."

"Oh, our JJ," Garcia said.

As if she knew they were talking about her, JJ knocked on the door and pushed it open. "There you two are," she said when she saw Reid and Morgan. We've got a case. Milwaukee."

Reid and Morgan nodded, casting each other sidelong glances before walking past JJ out of the room. Garcia grinned at their retreating figures.

"I'm guessing they told you?" said JJ.

Garcia nodded. "They did. Somehow, I never saw it. I don't know how, since I am all knowing, but I didn't know it. But I'm glad they finally found each other. They both deserve to be happy."

"Well it's a good thing they have you in on it now, Garcia," JJ remarked. "I think it's getting harder for them to keep the secret. I know Morgan at least is struggling not to show how he feels in public. Spencer is… well, Spencer, but I'd imagine he'd feel the same way."

"So it's going to be hard to keep it from the team," Garcia surmised.

"Yes, but we have to try," JJ replied. "For them. Otherwise, they may not last very long."

A/N: So there you have it: Garcia now knows! Let me tell you, that is definitely not how I originally intended the chapter to go. I didn't intend her to find out yet, and originally under different circumstances. But when I started writing, that's what came out. Oh, and just to warn you now, the rating of this story may soon change to M, because I do believe this case in Milwaukee may bring about a certain amount of *ahem* smut, which I don't know how well I can write. Oh well, stay tuned!
