"So are you sure you're okay with me coming over to yours? I don't want to feel like I'm intruding." Reid shook his head at Elijah as they walked.

"Reid, I don't mind you coming to my house. We're friends, friends do that." Elijah assured him.

"Are the cats okay?" Reid turned.

"Both of my boys are okay." Elijah nodded.

"Hotatio?"

"He's settling in well."

"Does he still stick his tongue out?" Reid chuckled.

"He does." Elijah smiled as they reached the door,"Welcome to my humble abode."

"It's nice, it's very light compared to my place." Reid walked in once the door was open.

"Thanks." Elijah smiled as he walked in,"Horatio? Where are you, baby?"

The small black kitten then ran out, meowing quite loudly as he made his presence known.

"Oh hello." Reid smiled, crouching down.

"I told him you were coming, he has not stopped shouting." Elijah told him.

"I'm his favourite." Reid chuckled.

"I know you are, he must've missed you."

"I was only gone for a few days."

"I know but he's very clingy, aren't you?" Elijah picked up Horatio.

"Where's grumpy?" Reid got up.

"Mr Grumpy doesn't come when he's called so.." Elijah hummed as he walked into the living room,"He's on his couch."

"Hi Muffin." Reid gently petted the Persian cat.

"He's a lot quieter than the baby." Elijah sat down.

"I can tell." He nodded.

"Come on, sit." Elijah patted the seat beside him.

"Let me just... Let me wash my hands." Reid pointed.

"Oh, of course."

"Sorry." Reid shook his head,"Kitchen this way?"

"It is." Elijah nodded.

Reid nodded, walking over to the sink and washing his hands before coming back over to Elijah and sat beside him on the couch,"I like the green."

"Thank you." Elijah smiled, glancing down at his phone.

"So, how about we watch a movie?"

"Do you have one in mind?"

"What genre do you like?" Reid looked at Elijah.

"Oh I'm... I'm not bothered." Elijah shook his head, wrapping an arm around Reid's shoulder.

Reid looked down, biting his cheek to hide his smile,"Maybe a crime one? I know its a cliché but.." He shrugged.

"I'd like that." Elijah nodded.

"You can decide then." Reid nodded, leaning back into Elijah.

Elijah nodded quickly, starting to flick through channels for a crime film.

"If there's nothing then... Maybe a cartoon?" Reid suggested.

"Hm... There's Alvin and the Chipmunks." Elijah shrugged as he put it on.

"Alvin and the Chipmunks?" Reid chuckled.

"Look, there's not a lot on." Elijah pointed.

"I'm okay with that." Reid nodded.

Elijah smiled as he sat down the remote,"Hey, Reid?"

"Yeah?" Reid looked at Elijah.

"So, uh- Have you ever considered being in, uhm, a serious relationship?" Elijah stammered.

"Me? Well, I've never really thought about it. The only time I really had a crush was in high school, however that didn't work out... But recently, I have thought about a serious relationship."

"M-me too." Elijah nodded, looking off to the side.

"Is there anyone who you'd... Like?" Reid sighed.

"You, Spencer." Elijah turned to look at him.

"Me?" Reid blinked.

"Yes. Yes, you."

"You really do like me?"

"Spencer, that's why I got upset when you and Lila kissed in the pool." Elijah sighed.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know." Reid sighed.

"It's okay.."

"You know, Fleur told me you liked me." Reid admitted.

"She did?" Elijah asked.

"She did." Reid nodded,"I know it's- Don't be mad at her."

"I'm not, I just- I was hoping to tell you myself."

"Well, I'm glad you told me that you like me." Reid smiled softly.

Elijah smiled back, placing a hand on Reid's cheek.

"Are you asking me to be your boyfriend?" Reid hummed.

"I am, i-if you want to be." Elijah nodded.

"Of course I would... But we'd need to keep it a secret."

Elijah nodded,"I can do that."

Reid smiled, hesitating before he leaned into Elijah.

Elijah rubbed Reid's arm, kissing his forehead,"I've been waiting for this moment for so long."

"For how long?" Reid asked.

"If I'm being honest? Almost as soon as I met you, you were... Special."

"Is that because I'm smart?" Reid chuckled.

"Maybe." Elijah hummed,"But even if you weren't, I'd still love you."

"Elijah.." Reid smiled, holding his hand,"That's cute."

"I try my best, pretty boy." Elijah looked down at him.

Reid hummed and looked at the movie as it started.

*********************************

"So, do you have a favorite place to go out?" Morgan asked as he and Fleir walked up to the bar.

"Rabs, you know just a few blocks from work?" Fleur turned to Morgan,"He's got all those plants around his place."

"I've been there a couple times." Morgan nodded,"He sure knows how to make a drink."

"Have you tried his whiskeys?" Fleur opened the bar door open for him.

"I have."

"I have hangovers for days." Fleur chuckled, sitting down in a Booth.

"I thought you could take your drinks." Morgan sat in front of her.

"Oh, I can." Fleur nodded,"It just shows how strong his drinks are."

"I guess that's true." Morgan nodded.

"What do you think you're gonna order?" Fleur looked at the drinks menu.

"I'm not sure, I don't come here often." Morgan shook his head.

"Menu." Fleur handed him one.

"Thank you." Morgan took it and began scanning through it.

"I'm thinking... Gin for me." Fleur nodded.

"Sounds like a plan." Morgan sat the menu down before smiling,"I like the way you did your hair today, it brings out those beautiful eyes of yours."

"Derek Morgan, are you flirting with me?" Fleur gasping.

"That depends, is it working?" Morgan raised a brow.

"Absolutely." Fleur chuckled, shaking her head,"I'm gonna go order."

"Have fun." Morgan smirked as she walked off.

That's when Morgan's phone rang.

"Morgan." He answered.

"Morgan." Reid whispered,"Morgan!"

"Reid? What's up?" Morgan asked,"I thought you were at Elijah's house."

"I am- I still am. I'm in the bathroom." Reid nodded.

"What happened?" Morgan questioned.

"He asked me out. Derek, I said yes." Reid quickly answered.

"Well, that's good, isn't it? Why are you freaking out?" Morgan raised a brow.

"I'm just excited." Reid looked at himself in the mirror,"God, my hair is a mess. Why would you let me go out like this?"

"Your hair was fine when I left you, Reid." Morgan assured him,"Besides, if it bothered Elijah then he would've told you."

"What about my outfit? Is my scarf colour okay?"

"Reid, your outfit looked nice. Stop worrying."

"Okay... Sorry." He cleared his throat,"He's asleep, what do I do now?"

"Well, you could just leave." Morgan suggested,"Or you could sit around and wait for him to wake uo."

"What if he thinks I'm weird for waiting?"

Morgan took in a deep breath,"Kid, Elijah loves you. He won't think you're weird."

"Okay... Okay. Right, I'm sorry." Reid sighed.

"It is your first time, it's alright to be nervous."

"I'm not having sex with him!" He quickly spoke.

"I never said that, pretty boy. I meant that this is your first proper relationship." Morgan chuckled.

"I guess so." Reid nodded,"What about you? How are things?"

"She's just getting drinks now. I'm going to ask her when she gets back." Morgan told him.

"I'm going to head back to Elijah." He sighed.

"Go get him, tiger." Morgan hummed.

"Shut up." Reid hung up.

"Okay, a whiskey for you." Fleur placed the glass down as she came back.

"Thank you." Morgan hummed,"You'll never belive what just happened."

"Hm?" Fleur sat down.

"You know how Reid and Elijah were spending the day together?"

"How?" Fleur looked at him.

"Just together, as friends." Morgan smiled,"Elijah finally asked Reid out."

"He said yes?" Fleur smiled.

"He did, he was just on the phone with me." Morgan chuckled,"He's very excited."

"Oh, I'm so excited for them." Fleur clapped.

"That actually brings me to my next topic." Morgan nodded as he took a sip of his drink.

"Hm?" Fleur leaned backwards.

"Well, a little birdie told me you had a crush on someone at the BAU."

"Does this birdie's name begin with an 'E'?"

"Possibly."

"Ends in a 'Lijah'?" Fleur took a drink of her gin.

"You know him too well." Morgan shook his head,"So? Gonna tell me who it is?"

"He's just this... Guy. Very tall, he's got this great smile and the most cheesiest moves ever." Fleur shrugged,"Needs to grow his hair back though."

"My hair looks great, thank you very much." Morgan pointed.

"Most of it's gone." Fleur pointed back.

"You still find me attractive, I see it as a win." Morgan shrugged.

"I find a lot of men attractive." Fleur shrugged as well.

"And I find a lot of women attractive... But there's something different about you."

"There is?"

"There is." Morgan nodded,"And I can't even describe it."

"It's my hair and my piercing eyes." Fleur nodded.

Morgan chuckled as he finished his drink,"Fleur, I've got an important question for yiu to answer."

"Yes?" Fleur hummed.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Morgan asked.

Fleur bit her lip,"Yes Derek Morgan, I will."

Morgan smiled,"So... How about we go back to my place after this and see if gin really does make you sin?"

Fleur laughed,"Goodness sake." She downed her drink and got up.

"Is that a yes?" Morgan smirked.

"It is a yes. Now hurry up."

"Oh, I'm hurrying." Morgan stood up.

Fleur hummed and took his hand, paying for their drinks before leaving the bar.

*********************************

Garcia was sat in her office, looking between screens.

"Pen?" Fleur knocked on the door of her office.

"Ah, Fleur. How was your date with Morgan?" Garcia asked her as she walked in.

"It was good- Great. Fabulous." Fleur hummed.

"It went well then." Garcia smiled.

"Mhm. I just... I wanted to talk, girl to girl." Fleur sat down.

"Is it about his cologne? Honestly, I've been asking him to change it for months." Garcia shook her head.

"Tell me about it." Fleur chuckled,"No, it's... Do you like Derek?"

"He's one of my best friends, why wouldn't I like him?"

"Pen, I meant- Like, like him." Fleur nodded

"Oh... Oh, no! No, no, no." Garcia quickly shook her head,"We're just friends. I don't have feelings for him like that."

"Even though all the comments? There's never anything behind them?"

"No, I promise." Garcia assured her.

Fleur nodded,"I didn't want to sound confrontational. I just wanted to make sure."

"I'd probably act the same if I was in your shoes."

Fleur took ahold of Garcia's hands,"I'm sorry, hun."

"Don't be sorry, you were only making sure." Garcia shook her head,"Do you want to look at pictures of cats wearing hats? That always makes me feel better."

"That would make me feel amazing." Fleur smiled.

"Great!" Garcia clapped her hands,"Come on, take a look."

"Are the hats for Elijah's cats?"

"Most definitely." Garcia nodded.

Fleur shook her head with a small chuckle,"They're so cute."

"Which is why I need to make them all." Garcia pointed.

"I believe in you, Pen." Fleur nodded.

"Thanks, Fleur." Garcia smiled.
