"We need to get home; we have a conversation to finish." Doctor Reid told the gorgeous techie.

"He should be up in a few minutes, I just sent him to go get a few chords from the storage room on the third floor." The woman smiled.

"Mind if I got help him?"

"This conversation is really important, huh?"

A warm smile came across his face.

"Yea." He replied with the same smile.

"Go help him, as soon as I get my chords, I'll bid you both a farewell." She smiled back.

"Thanks."

"Hold the elevator!" Reid called, running to the object.

The door immediately stopped closing, and the doctor rushed in.

"Thanks." He breathed before he even saw who it was.

It was Derek Morgan. They both smiled as the doors closed.

"I thought you were going home, where's Spencer?" The strong agent asked.

"Just getting some stuff for Garcia. I'm going to get him, we're gunna give her the stuff and then we're heading home. Why are you leaving early?" Older Spencer smiled.

"Actually, I was trying to get down to the parking garage so I could talk to you."

"Well… we're alone now, what did you want to talk about?"

"You're right, we are alone." The elder smiled.

"That we are." The younger also smiled, moving a bit closer to the man he most likely loved.

They leaned in until they were honestly no more than five centimeters from kissing… then Derek pulled away.

"That is actually want I needed to talk to you about." He said in a nervous tone.

"Um, ok." The doctor said, taking a step away and looked at his friend with confused/worried eyes.

"I know I like you. I know I do, I'm not debating that at all… but… I don't really… I don't know if… I might not… Sorry." The strong agent fumbled.

Doctor Reid felt his breath solidify in his throat, making it almost impossible for him to breath.

"Say it, please; I'm making this twenty times worse than it probably is in my head." The younger begged, working as hard as he could to speak through the lump.

"I've never thought about any boy that way Spencer. Never. I don't know if I actually like you in that way, or if I'm just mirroring your affection for me and echoing it back."

"You said you wouldn't mind if we kissed."

"I know. And, at the time, I didn't. But, I've thought a lot about it… and I'm not sure anymore."

"What does that even mean?" Doctor Reid asked, still trying to breath.

"Like I said, I've never liked any other guys like I think I like you, so, I honestly don't know how I feel about you. I might like you like you like me, but I've only felt like that for girls. I really love you… but it might just be like a brother. I'm really sorry, I really do want to be friends with you, and if I like you that way, I want to be your boyfriend. But, until then, I think we should just go back to being friends. I promise to think about it, a lot, I promise I'll make sure of what my sexual preference-"

"Orientation. Preference makes it sound like a choice… and it's not." The lanky adult said, breathing more than was strictly necessary.

"Right, orientation. I'll let you know. And if I do turn out to like guys, then I'll be overjoyed to claim you as mine. You're amazing, you deserve someone to care for you in the way as boyfriend or a girlfriend does. I would love to be that person… but first I need to know if I can. We'll still be friends… but us as a couple will be put on hold until I've sorted everything out. I may like only girls… but I may also like guys… I just have to figure it out. I can't be with you until I know."

"Anything else?" Older Spencer asked, wishing he would just wake up.

"Spencer," Derek said quietly, moving forward to put his hand on the younger agents shoulder.

The doctor moved away from the hand before it even touched him. The elevator dinged and the doors opened.

"I think this is where you get off." Morgan said, taking a step away and looking at the ground.

"See you tomorrow." The younger adult mumbled, quickly moving from the metal contraption.

"Ah!" The voice of the teen screamed sacredly.

It was followed by a loud thud; Doctor Reid hurried into the room, hoping his cousin wasn't hurt. He was relieved when he saw that the youth was fine, but a large pile of computer parts was on the floor next to him.

"I'm good. Things should really stop attacking me though." "Puck" breathed, looking at the pile with a smile.

His cousin smiled also, not showing the hurt that was erupting throughout him like a thousand volcanos full of bombs.

"Well, I have Beautiful's chords; let's go give them to her." The youngest Reid smiled, picking up ten different colored chords.

"What's up?" The teen asked as they entered the apartment they shared.

The doctor's heart stopped in his chest, he didn't want his cousin to know what had happened.

"What do you mean?" He asked quickly.

"You have that 'I wanna talk' broody face goin' on. So what is it?" The younger asked with a smile, slipping out of his high heels, but still leaving them in the living room.

"Just wanted to tell you to please put your shoes away." The elder shrugged.

"That it?" "Puck" didn't quite look like he believed him.

"Well, I was also going to ask if you wanted to see a movie… but I'm really tired." The older said, heading to his room.

"Um, ok? Rain check then?"

"Definitely." Doctor Reid said, closing the door of his bedroom.

Ok. You all officially hate me now. BUT if you are planning on reviewing saying how someone should do something to make Derek realize he's wrong. I request that you PLEASE put off reviewing until the next chapter is posted. Because I have something planned, and I think you will approve of it… so, please, just hold out a bit longer.
