Okay. So I wasn't originally planning on having this one in here, but I had a suggestion from Zero Skye to have another moment where Morgan is interested in something about Reid, and then gets caught in the end. And I got to thinking about it...and voila! This moment was born. So props to Zero Skye!

Soft
Derek Morgan is highly distracted...by Spencer Reid's hair.
It had been going on for days. He couldn't exactly say why Reid's hair had become such a center for his attention...it just had. And suddenly, too. One minute, he was talking to the kid about a case, and the next, his hair was all he could think about. He thinks that maybe it's because it looks so soft. Really soft. Sure it looks a bit tangled (he really needs a haircut), but even more-so, it just looks soft.
It weirds him out.
But there he is, staring intently at the chestnut brown hair as its owner stands before the BAU, explaining a new breakthrough he had in the case. He wondered silently to himself how many times the kid must wash it every day, to make it look so soft. He figures it probably feels as soft as it looks...
"Hey, Morgan." Reid is suddenly calling. Derek is quickly jolted out of his thoughts, thrown off by the now almost-empty room. He shakes his head.
"Yeah, kid?"
"Just once." he says, an all-too-obvious smirk lacing his words and his lips as he turns and walks from the room.
Derek Morgan blushes.
Stupid mind-reading genius.
