Forty minutes later, Derek and Spencer walk into work together, both with deliriously happy grins. JJ, Prentiss, Rossi, Garcia, and Hotch stare, frozen in shock at the men. Aaron had filled them in about the phone call he received last night. The group had been talking about Reid and wondering if he would come to work today or would avoid them until his transfer. They can’t help but gawk at the two men. Seeing Reid at all is enough of a shock but to see him so happy is dumbfounding.
The pair is behaving remarkably different than the last time the team saw them together. The tense and moody Reid is gone, replaced by a remarkably relaxed and blissful one. In fact, he appears happier than any of them have ever seen him before. And he isn’t the only one. Morgan has changed, too. He no longer looks overcome by worry, concern, frustration, and desperation. Instead, he looks confident again and quite content. Yet, even Derek’s happiness is clearly different than it usually is. It appears much more genuine, as if it’s not just a front but true joy. And the comfortable companionship they used to have is evident between them once again, for the first time in a long time, and it is stronger than ever.
They all can see something significant happened after Reid’s phone call to Hotch. They don’t know what but something that made both men very happy. Somehow, Morgan solved Reid’s problem.
JJ is the most surprised to see the change. Her blue eyes widen and her mouth hangs open. She instantly knows that there is only one way Spence would look so happy. And Jennifer is understandably astonished. Despite her urging Spencer to tell Morgan his feelings, JJ had not had high hopes that he would return the genius’ feelings. But she was wrong and she’s never been happier to be wrong.
Once he overcomes his shock, Hotch asks “Reid? My office?” Aaron had not expected Spencer to come to work this morning. He fully anticipated that he would be greeted by a depressed Morgan, who tried but failed to convince the genius to stay. Seeing Reid at all is a bit of a blow but witnessing both Spencer and Derek behaving extraordinarily happy staggers Aaron.
The genius willingly follows him into his office.
Hotch asks a little uncertainly, “So, I take it whatever was wrong, it has worked out? Successfully?”
Reid smiles, “Yes.” It is one of the first truly genuine smiles Aaron has seen from the younger man in far too long.
“No more talk about leaving then, right?” Aaron is genuinely amazed that Morgan not only convinced Spencer to stay but somehow made him happier than ever before as well. While he is as curious as the rest of the team, he merely smiles. Hotch is glad to see his friend happy again, whatever the reason. After all he has gone through, no one deserves that more than Reid.
“Absolutely, I am not leaving,” Reid responds, positively glowing with joy. Shifting slightly, he asks “Um…Hotch?”
“Yes, Reid?”
“You had no intention of signing off on a transfer today, did you?”
Aaron remains silent, staring emotionlessly at him but it is easy enough for Reid to see his speculation is correct.
“You called Morgan, didn’t you? After I talked to you? You got Garcia to trace my phone and told him where I was. To try to convince me to stay.”
Unsurprised that Reid had figured it out, Aaron answers truthfully “Yes.” *And it worked, apparently.*
“Thank you. He was the only one who could have made me stay,” Spencer replies with great feeling.
*Only Morgan could make him stay? Why only him? I wonder what Morgan said or did to make him stay?* Despite his questions, Hotch doesn’t push, realizing sooner or later Spencer will tell the team. He willingly shuts down his profile brain. He wants Spencer to be able to reveal his secret in his own time. Aaron is simply relieved that Reid is happy again and staying with them that he would do practically anything to keep him that way, even if it means fighting against his profiler brain.

Meanwhile…
“So, what’s going on, Morgan?” Prentiss asks. “You obviously found Reid and finally got him to talk to you. From the huge smile on his face, you must have found a solution to his problem and convinced him to stay.” Derek wonders what he should tell them. He had given no thought to what to tell the others, he had been totally focused on Spencer and their new relationship. His eyes wander around the room before meeting JJ’s. Her blue eyes are still wide with shock and full of awareness. Staring into her eyes, Morgan can see she knows. *Pretty Boy must have told her the truth that day, told her that he is in love with me. She knows the only way he’d be back this happy was if I felt the same.* After flashing her one of his lady-killer grins, Derek looks at the rest of the team. “Reid did tell me what was bothering him. And we figured it out. He isn’t going to leave. He is staying with the team.” Rossi, Garcia, and Prentiss all look vastly relieved. “But what was wrong? What was going on?” a puzzled Emily asks. “I can’t tell you right now,” Derek says before giving another dazzling smile, “But you will all know soon enough.” Remembering the happiness of Reid’s face, Prentiss and Rossi drop it without comment. The two profilers make the same vow as Hotch: to not profile Spencer in order to find out his secret. Their youngest member deserves to be able to reveal it to them in his own time. Judging by Spencer’s happiness, sooner or later he’ll want to share it with them. Garcia, on the other hand, has no plans of simply waiting for Reid or Morgan to tell her what is going on. She is not giving her chocolate love muffin any option but to tell her all he knows.

Later that day…
Jennifer Jareau leads Reid into a deserted section of the building. “So…Spence? What?” JJ asks uncertainly, with an eye on the door to ensure they aren’t overheard.
A hesitant smile graces the genius’ face. “Um…”
The blonde can only gaze at him incomprehensively, so astonished by what she knows must have happened. It’s so unbelievable that it feels like her brain is frozen.
“Uh…well…it seems I was right…and wrong.”
JJ stares at him, even more confused.
Reid stammers softly “Derek is not attracted to men.”
His words only make her more perplexed, bewilderment written clearly on her face.
“But evidently he is attracted to me.” *Quite attracted.*
“Oh. Oh! Really?!” The confusion in her face fades and a happy light begins to shine in her blue eyes.
“Yeah…”
“Is that how he responded when you told him you loved him? Did he admit he had feelings for you?”
“N—No. He was pretty shocked. I kind of just…ran off? After I screamed I was in love with him,” Spencer reluctantly admits.
“You screamed it at him?” she asks in disbelief.
“Um, yeah? Kind of defiantly actually…” Reid says awkwardly, shifting with embarrassment.
JJ tries to imagine that and simply can’t. “So…how?”
“I ran aimlessly for awhile. When I got it together enough I called Hotch and asked for a transfer.”
“Wait? Does Hotch know?”
“No. I didn’t tell him. I was pretty upset and he didn’t push. He didn’t ask this morning, either.” Reid pauses before continuing “It wasn’t long after that that Derek found me. I figured out this morning that Hotch had Garcia track my phone and had told him where I was. I didn’t want to talk to him. I figured he’d be grateful to avoid discussing it, since he tends to do that with his personal problems. He wasn’t. Morgan was…irate. I have never seen him so close to losing control because of me, his hands and jaw clenching and unclenching furiously. He didn’t give me a choice but to get in his truck, whether I wanted to or not. I think if I hadn’t complied he wouldn’t have hesitated to force me into it.”
Jennifer watches the emotions flutter across Spence’s expressive face as he remembers.
“When we got to his house, I was surprised that he seemed most upset that I ran away, that I didn’t give him time to react than that I had feelings for him. He didn’t punch me or yell at me for being attracted to him. He wasn’t offended, didn’t even seem uncomfortable with knowing I had feelings for him. It was…surprising.” An expression of wonder upon his face at the memory, “When I hinted that I felt I wasn’t good enough for him, Derek…he kissed me. I couldn’t believe it. He talked to his mom about me, about what I said. Told me she knew, knew that I had feelings for him. Said his mom told him he had feelings for me too. And he said me he was attracted to me, that I was special. I don’t know exactly what his mom said to him, I don’t know if she convinced him he had feelings for me or if she just opened his eyes. But he told me he loves me. Derek…he loves me! Me, Jayje!” His voice is filled with amazement, wonder, and bubbling happiness. The tall brunette has tears of joy and disbelief shining in his caramel brown eyes. “All I know is that I owe Derek’s mom more than I can ever repay. Because of her I get a chance. I never thought I would ever have one. I don’t know if I would have had one if I hadn’t run away, if she hadn’t talked to him. A chance is more than I ever hoped for.”
“Oh, Spence! I am so happy for you!” The blonde hugs him tightly and for once there is no trace of awkwardness. Reid’s happiness seems to overshadow his unease with intimate touching. Being this close to him, JJ can smell him and immediately realizes he doesn’t smell like he usually does, the scent is a bolder, very masculine one she recognizes as Morgan’s. “Spencer, you smell like him. You smell like Morgan. Did you use his soap or something? Why do you smell like his soap?”
“Uh…” A bashful smile flashes on his face.
“Did you shower at his house before you went home last night?”
“I-I…” Reid stutters.
“You did go home last night, right?”
“N—No?”
Again, JJ’s brows rise in surprise. “Where did you sleep last night, Spence?” she asks, wanting to know what happened after they admitted their feelings for each other.
“Um—Er—I stayed at Derek’s,” he confesses.
“On the couch?”
Reid flushes, “N—No, I slept with Derek…um…in his bed?” The genius keeps answering timidly, each response sounding more and more like a question than an answer.
“You slept with him or you slept with him?”
Spencer fidgets nervously, “Both?” his voice sounding uncertain.
“Spence! Did you and Derek have sex last night?!”
Reid avoids her probing eyes, saying “Maybe...?” That’s all the answer she needs and JJ is staggered once again. “Okay. Wow. I definitely wasn’t expecting that!” She never imagined that Morgan could go from never being with a man to practically jumping into bed with one. But then they have known each other for eight years, so it isn’t like he jumped into bed with a stranger. And judging from Derek’s cheerfulness this morning, his first gay sexual experience did nothing to scare him away. “So…you smell like Morgan’s soap because you showered at his house?”
“Yes.” It is the first time he answers with certainty.
JJ has a sneaking suspicion of the answer but asks anyway “Alone?”
The silence lengthens.
“Spence?”
“We were conserving water?”
JJ starts giggling in disbelief, that retort is something she never thought she’d hear coming out of his mouth. She can’t help asking “So…how is Derek in bed?”
A quick, smug grin flashes on Reid’s face, one JJ has never seen before, and he answers mysteriously, “He’s definitely worth having to wait five years.”

While JJ is with Reid, Garcia finds Morgan, dragging him into her lair. “Spill it!” the eccentric blonde demands. Derek assesses his best friend carefully and he can see she’s not giving up until he tells her everything. Despite what he told Spencer this morning, he finds he actually doesn’t want to wait to tell her. It seems right that the two people they are closest to on the team should know first. Derek has a feeling Penelope will be their number one supporter, followed closely by JJ. She’s always had a soft spot for the two of them, as her frequent nicknames for both of them are a great indication of. Sighing dramatically, Morgan makes a show of relenting. “Okay, mama. I’ll tell you. But you can’t talk to anyone about this, except JJ!”
Penelope nods excitedly, “I promise! Jayje already knows? You told her?!”
“Yeah, she knows. And no, I didn’t tell her. She guessed.”
Garcia wonders what she is missing, what clue she overlooked that made JJ figure it out.
Morgan can see her mind working to solve the puzzle. Taking pity on her, he says “Remember, Reid already told JJ what was bothering him.”
“Oh. So what was it? What was wrong with our little boy genius?”
Derek flashes a sexy smile before declaring, “He’s in love.”
“Boy Wonder! He’s in love! With who?!”
An even bigger grin graces his face, “Guess.”
Garcia looks perplexed for a second before it dawns on her. Why else would Reid be so miserable if he was in love, unless it was with someone he thought he could never have, especially if it is someone he has to work with everyday? She is well aware that Reid had threatened to leave the BAU, so it had to be someone on the team or at least at Quantico. JJ is quickly out of the running. The two are close but it doesn’t take a profiler to see that they are strictly friends and nothing more. JJ and Reid are much like her and Derek in that, despite all the flirting they do. Plus, JJ already knew who he was in love with when he left. Penelope knows it has to be someone on the team and racks her brain for someone that Reid is close to, has chemistry with. Someone he would have a lot to lose if those feelings came out and that person didn’t feel the same. Then, the blonde squeals. “OH MY GOD! YOU! Reid’s in love with YOU!” She can’t believe she didn’t realize it sooner. It seems so obvious to her now, especially with what she learned from Spencer’s phone call with his friend, Josh. If she’d been thinking at all, she would have known immediately that it had to be Derek, otherwise how could Morgan have fixed the problem?
Morgan chuckles at how giddy she is.
“Wait!” She suddenly stops jumping up and down. “Wait! Junior G-Man would only be this happy if… You love him too, don’t you?!”
Derek raises his eyes to the ceiling, remembering all that happened between yesterday and now. A tender smile on his face, he answers “Yeah, I do. I love him, even if it took a jolt to my thick head to figure that out.”
Garcia squeals again. “Oh! My two favorite men are together! And happy!” She breaks off; her face is suddenly suspicious, eyes squinting behind her brightly colored frames. “Wait…you two are too happy. OMG! You guys had SEX!”
Morgan can’t help but groan. “Baby girl, a little louder, I don’t think everybody heard you!”
“It’s true, isn’t it?!”
“My lips are sealed.”
“Since when have your lips ever been sealed, my love?”
“Since now. Spencer…no one has ever made me feel the way he does. And we’ve only been together one night. He’s it for me and I am not afraid to admit it.”
“Aww…Look at our resident lady killer turn into a mushy, romantic by our resident genius!”
Derek looks a little sheepish, but no less happy.
“I want details!!”
“I don’t think my Pretty Boy would appreciate that.”
“Your Pretty Boy?”
“Yes, my Pretty Boy,” Derek answers emphatically, possessively, “And I’m not saying another word.”
“Ooo…that means something did happen! How’s our Boy Wonder or should I say your Boy Wonder in bed?” Penelope asks slyly. When he doesn’t answer, she pleads “Please, please, please! Give me something, anything!” Her mind is going crazy with the thoughts of those two sexy men together. Penelope is going to have to start a file just for all her secretive fantasies of all the naughty, sinful things the pair will do together. *Oh. The stories I could write about them!* her inner fangirl squeals.
Derek smiles at how desperate and pathetic she sounds. “Fine, I’ll tell you one thing. But that’s it!”
Penelope enthusiastically bobs her head up and down.
“It was the best sex I’ve ever had.”
“I knew it! I knew there was a sex god hidden underneath all that social awkwardness!”
Morgan gives her a smug smirk, remembering how very right she is about that.
That’s when Reid walks in, “We have a ca—.” He stops abruptly; looking from Morgan, who is staring at him like a starving man and he’s a big, juicy burger to Garcia, who is beaming like an obsessed fangirl whose fantasies just came true. “Um…I take it, you told her?”
Before Morgan can answer, Penelope squeals yet again, practically prancing with happiness. “Junior G-Man and my Chocolate Adonis, together, can it get any sexier than that?” Turning her eyes to address Derek, “Oh. And to make it up to me for withholding details, I expect a sex tape!”
Spencer’s eyes widen, his brain frozen with shock. Derek puts his arm around him, leading him out of the door. “I don’t think that’s going to happen, Mama. But nice try!”
