Morgan jumps in his truck. He wonders why people just don't mind there own business? Prentiss should never have confronted Morgan at work. He could have handled her better out of the office.

He understands wanting to protect Reid. Really he did. He never made a move because he was worried about Reid. It just could have been handled better. Now he just has to worry about everyone else and how they would react. J.J. was going to kill him.

He heads to Reid's apartment. He may beat him there if Reid took the train. He is just prays Reid decided to head home and not anywhere else.

Reid settles into his seat. He wasn't going to head home quite yet. He needs to calm down and he knows this is the only place he can do that. He always feels at home, there in this little room. He takes his Philosophy books out of his bag and begins to do his work on his new degree. He knows he should be contacting people to let them know where he is, but he needs to have a few hours to himself. He needs to just lose himself in his books, then he would hunt Morgan down and make sure nothing has changed since that afternoon.

After waiting more than an hour Morgan knew Reid wasn't headed home. He really isn't surprised. When Reid gets stressed, sometimes he needs to hide away for a little while. Morgan is glad Reid has a little while to cool down. Both of them are going to have to deal with questions about their relationship. It is bound to come up.

His phone rings.

"Morgan", he answers.

"Hey Morgan, it's J.J.. Have you found Reid?"

"No J.J., he didn't come home. I am sitting outside his apartment but he hasn't come back yet. Did Prentiss talk to you?"

J.J. sighed and Morgan heard her. "J.J., it isn't what you think."

"Morgan, listen to me. There is no other person I would rather love him. You are so good for him and he adores you."

Morgan smiles to himself, "That was not the reaction I expected after the way Prentiss went after me."

"No one in the world means more to him than you do, not even me Morgan. I have seen him watch you, wanting more for years. Every time you left the clubs with a girl he would shrink back a bit. If you had a date, he made excuses not to be around if your date was meeting us. He loves you."

"I really wish someone had shared this before."

"No you don't. You are exactly where you need to be right now. You both are ready to deal with it now. He is at the Marine Corps University Library, third floor, little room. He is probably got his books all over. It isn't that he is avoiding you..."

"I know J.J., he needed to clear his head."

"Oh yes, you are so good for him. Go get him Morgan."

Forty-five minutes later Morgan climbs the stairs of the Library. He has a bag around his shoulder and laughs a bit to himself that he hasn't been in a library, out of work, in about 15 years. He heads to the little room at the end of the hall. He glimpses through the window and sees the top of Reid's head leaning over a small table full of books. He looks right at home and perfect. Quietly he opens the door.

Reid's head shoots up at the noise of the door. No one usually comes up here. He sees Morgan coming through the door.

"Hey Kid. I come bearing gifts." Morgan takes his bag and places it on the table and takes out a giant thermos. "Sugar flavored coffee. For studying."

Reid looks up at Morgan and smiles. "You found me?"

"J.J. may have helped a bit." Morgan sits down and takes the mug out of his bag and pours Reid a cup.

"You doing ok? Prentiss really pissed you off, didn't she."

Reid sighs and takes the cup, he wraps his hands around it and feels the warmth. He sips and tastes that Morgan made it just the way he likes it. "She hit a nerve. I should never have cornered her at work. It just justifies her talking to you like that at work. Not the place at all. I know we are going to have to deal with questions, and most likely whispers. I'll get better at it."

"You didn't let her tell you that she knows I am not a dog and she knows how I feel. She wasn't as mad when she found out that I would do anything for you. Though she did threaten to shoot me if I hurt you." Morgan smiles.

Reid laughs a bit. "I guess it is a surprise. Who would have thought that we would end up here?"

"Apparently, J.J. has thought it. She is totally on board. I thought she would be the one that would try to castrate me for even looking at you wrong."

"No she would save that for when you broke my heart." Reid jokes.

"Shot and castrated, sounds great."

"I'll make sure they keep that order for you."

"Yeah, I would like that, thanks."

"Are we ok Morgan?"

"We are fine, Pretty Boy. I think we will have some people that will wonder what we are doing, but who really cares? After this many years of friendship, we can deal with that. Isn't it said that being friends before lovers is important?

"Actually that is true, studies have shown that...sorry. I am rambling."

Morgan smiles at Reid. "How much longer do you need? It's Friday. Want to order take out and watch a movie?"

"Sounds good. I'm done here. Let me pack up. What movie do you want to watch?"

"I'll let you pick. I'll go down and order and we can pick it up on the way home. Chinese, pizza, or something else?" Morgan grabs his bag and moves to the door.

"Let's do Pizza tonight. I'll meet you down stairs in front in a couple minutes."

Morgan climbs down the stairs practically skipping. He is happy that he and Reid feel comfortable and normal. They seem to be just sliding into something that was happening anyway. No great changes, just normal. Well except now he could kiss Reid when he wanted.

He orders the food and then drops a quick text to J.J..

I've got him. Pizza and movie night. Thank you for your help and blessing.

He also sends one to Garcia. He knows she is probably in contact with J.J., but she needs her own message. After all, she helped them get to this point.

I have Reid. He is fine. Headed home for food and movies. Love you.

Garcia texts back within a minute.

Have fun. Use protection. Want details. :)

Morgan laughs. He can't help it. Garcia always seems to just let things be light. She will probably do anything at this point to make sure both he and Reid are ok.

Reid walks out the door, settling his bag on his shoulder. "What's so funny?"

"I text Garcia, letting her know that we were together and headed home. This is what she text back." He holds his phone out to Reid.

"Wow. No details, ever."

"You got it." Morgan wraps his arm around Reid and heads to the truck.

XXXXXXXX

"You told me I could pick the movie. This is what I pick. Stop whining!"

Morgan rolls his eyes, he should have known. "Spencer, Star Wars? Really? It's like older than you are. How about something more this decade."

"Nope, not happening. You need to embrace this. I promise to not point out every detail that is wrong with the science, but you have to watch it."

"Fine but I pick the next movie, and if it's Die Hard you're gonna shut it and watch."

"Deal." Reid leans over and kisses Morgan quickly, turning back to the Tv.

Morgan watches Reid as the movie plays. The comfort of all of this comes back into his mind. Tonight is almost like every other time they have ever had movie night, other than the fact that Reid had leaned over and kissed him quick. There was no awkwardness, no uncomfortable silence.

Morgan takes his hand and brings it into Reid's hair. He wraps a piece around his finger. Reid doesn't even take notice. He is spellbound by a movie he has seen a hundred times, not to mention he knows it by heart. Morgan watches Reid's lips move as the actors speak. He decides to sit back and watch the movie. Morgan tugs the piece of hair, but he keeps his eyes on the screen.

Reid turns slightly looking at Morgan. He feels Morgan tugging his hair. He isn't sure Morgan even realizes he is doing it. With just a simple twist of his fingers, Morgan is driving Reid crazy. Blame it on years of unrequited sexual tension on his part, but just knowing that Morgan is this close, knowing Morgan wants him, it's making him think all sorts of things.

There have been no nervous feeling since the stair well that morning. Everything has fallen into place just like it always did with them. For Reid, this is confirmation that they belonged together. The connection has always been there, now they were just going to deepen it.

Of course for him this is when the nerves come back into it. Reid knows he has no experience with the sexual side of a relationship. He knows Morgan has more than is really needed. Talk about opposite sides of the scale.

"Spencer?"

Reid looks at Morgan.

"Where did you go? What has the big brain confused.?" Morgan drops Reid's hair and reaches for his hands. He pulls Reid closer.

"Sorry, I was just thinking."

"I got that."

Reid figures he mine as well just say it. "You do know I have no idea how to do this. I have the basic knowledge about everything but I am pretty much like a teenage boy when it comes to experience. Well actually, most teenager get laid, so scratch that. I have never really bothered to care. Now I care, and I am lacking in practical experience."

Morgan smiles. "Spencer." He pulls Reid over to him and places him on his lap, turning him so Reid is straddling him. "You can stop worrying. Please. I am not going to push you or rush you into anything Spencer. We will get there when we get there."

Reid chuckles. "I am not worried about being rushed Derek." Reid looks down into his lap, trying to figure out what to say without spewing off at the mouth. "I won't know what to do."

"You'll know what to do. Do what you want, what feels good. Don't do anything that you have to think twice about. If you have to wonder if you want something, than you don't. We wait. Just let me know what you're thinking and what you want."

Reid gathers up his confidence and let's Morgan know exactly what he is thinking, exactly what he wants. "Earlier today, in Garcia's tiny bathroom, I wanted more than anything, for you to strip me down and touch every inch of me. I wanted your hands, mouth, skin against mine. I wanted you to make me yours in every possible way."

"Spencer..." Morgan breathes out.

Reid moves his face closer to Morgan, he is almost nose to nose. He softly pleads, "Touch me Derek. Please."
