Reid looked up as his three agent friends came walking out of the exuberant female's self-proclaimed "cave". He gave them all a huge smile, making them only confirm that he had to be dating the boy from the club.

And in retrospect, it actually made a lot of sense. He was never around anyone younger than him. Though they would never admit it, most everyone still viewed him as a child. No matter how many times he got shot, or kidnapped, or hurt, or majorly solved a case by just using his intellect, he was still viewed as just a kid. So if he dated anyone older, he probably felt that that's how he would always be perceived. But if he dated someone younger, they would always see him as an adult.

Plus having a younger significant other generally made it easier to hide a relationship. The younger generations found it exciting to keep something a secret. But dating someone younger and keeping it a secret also made it easier for people to find out. The younger would be sexually fueled by having a relationship right under someone's nose. They would be inevitably do something, like call or text their significant other, that would give it away. Just as the club boy had done.

Yet they all still wondered how long it would take Reid to tell them… or even if he would.

During a secret text-vote between the four members of the team that weren't acting abnormally happy, Derek Morgan got nominated to go to Reid's house to see if the raver was actually there. He took a deep breath as he stood before the door to the enigma's apartment. He hesitantly raised his fist, and gave a few weak knocks. As soon as he heard the sound, he felt the intense urge to run.

Derek was not a homophobe; he just didn't want to have to confront his male best friend about being in a relationship. If they had done this to him, he would have snapped. It was completely forcing him to admit something. They were railroading him.

Before his legs had even moved, like he really wanted to, the door opened. The sight before him made him have to try his hardest not to drop his jaw.

The black haired boy from the club was standing there… naked. Well, not completely. He had a towel loosely wrapped around his waist. In the background Morgan heard a shower going.

"Hello?" The boy asked with a smile.

"Uh, I-is Doctor Spencer Reid here?" He asked shocked.

"Sorry. He just went to the store. But I really hope he gets back soon." The kid smiled, biting his lip with lust on his features.

He then seemed to see the look of slight terror on his elders face.

"Uh, do you want me to give him a message?" The brunet questioned, tilting his head to the side slightly.

"Uh, sh-sure. J-just tell him that Derek, uh, Morgan, came looking for him. I have a question about some paperwork." He defaulted.

"Oh, you work with him? I'm so jealous, you get to see his cute face and gorgeous… assets, all the time. Be nice to him, ok?"

"Sh-sure thing. D-defiantly. I-I've got to be going now. Bye."

The strong agent did a quick about-face, and power walked as fast as he could away from the apartment.

When he reached the stairs, he sprinted down them, trying to get as far from the mostly naked boy as he could, as fast as he could.

When he finally did stop, it was only to grab his keys out and jump in his truck. He was breathing heavy, and something wasn't right with his stomach. It felt like it was burning, like claws were scratching it. He had never felt that way ever before. What was it?

His phone started ringing then. It was Garcia. He knew that the other females would be right there with her. He pressed talk and pressed it to his ear, trying to control his panting.

"Morgan, are you ok?" Emily asked.

Damn it. He thought to himself, hoping that he had his breath under control enough.

"Yeah, just. Wow." He said, brain still trying to piece everything together accurately.

"'Wow?' What happened?"

"He- the kid from the club. He answered the door in only a towel. Reid wasn't there though. He said he went to the store. You guys, they really are dating." He said, admitting it more to himself than anyone else.

The burning in his stomach came back.

"Wait, what do you mean by that?" Jennifer questioned.

"When he told me Reid went to the store, he said that he couldn't wait for him to get back. And the shower was running. And he was half naked,"

"You already said that." Prentiss reminded him.

"And he bit his lip. Then when I said I worked with Reid, he said he was jealous. Because he got to look at Reid's… assets" He did a mini shudder at using that word in such a provocative way. "And said we need to be nice to him."

"Wow…. I can't believe it." The brunette breathed.

"I wonder why our little genius baby hasn't told us yet." Garcia questioned.

"Probably thinks we'll-" The liaison started.

"He's Reid, he likes his privacy." The dark skinned male cut in.

The girls on the other end went silent.

"Are you sure you're ok baby?" The techie questioned, taking a concerned-mother tone.

"Yeah, just… just a little shocked Momma. I'll- I'll talk to you all tomorrow. Gotta go."

He hung up before they could reply. He tried keeping his breathing even as he started driving to his home. He couldn't help but wonder what the burning in his stomach was.

It bothered him.
