QUESTION OF THE CHAPTER: what celebrity would you like to have as your best friend? Give one for male and another for female

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"What did you do yesterday, pretty boy?" Morgan asked the Doctor the moment he walked in with his usual cup of sugar with coffee.

"Nothing much. I went home after making coffee for the girls" he pointed at the group of females standing around Prentiss' table.

"So, you didn't meet up with anyone?" the man asked with a smirk "Maybe so someone would give you something back?" Spencer just rolled his eyes. He was pretty sure either Morgan himself or one of the girls had seen him with Thaleia yesterday at the café and obviously shared the gossip "Come on, you can tell me" Derek teased.

"So what do you want to know?" the boy turned his attention to the older "I went to grab a coffee, she was there, we sat together and went down memory lane speaking about our ex-teacher and how her life was before she was murdered"

"Damn Bubbles, that was harsh, don't you think?"

Oh great...

"Yeah, Bubbles, it was quite harsh" Morgan 'scolded' the boy.

Reid was about to shot something back when Thaleia cut him off "Yo, Girl Scout, that's my nickname: only I get to call him that. Find your own" she spoke sitting down on his desk.

"Of course... you obviously need a way to call your bae that only you can" he teased back.

"That's why I call Garcia 'Sunshine'" she winked at him before turning to Reid "I meant what I said: I'm never returning that coat"

"I guessed that much" he reached over to his files "I'll take it when you're less expecting it"

"Just like I did? Good luck"

"I was completely aware that you took it, I saw you. Plus you didn't exactly take it yourself: I offered it"

"And I said 'no thank you' but took it afterwards when you weren't looking"

The girls stood behind Morgan -who was sitting on his chair behind his desk-, the four of them looking at the kids high-key flirting.

"I wonder if either of them notices what they're doing" JJ spoke only loud enough so the group could hear them.

"I'm not sure" was Garcia's reply as she reached into her pocket to take out her phone, her eyes not leaving the two as they kept exchanging words.

"Send that to me later" the dark-haired woman leaned over to Garcia upon seeing her intentions of taking a picture of the moment.

"To me too, please" JJ added.

"To me three" the girls looked over at Morgan, who turned to them when he sensed their eyes on him "What? I need my dose of blackmail"

"Also" Garcia spoke "Do you guys realize that he straight up lied to us about what happened a couple of nights ago?"

"Yeah... but didn't we already know about that?" commented JJ "It was obvious to me that what he told us that happened wasn't all"

"Do you think they hooked up?"

"Highly doubt it"

Their heads turned once Hotch walked into the bullpen, his frown more noticeable than usual "Meeting room, now"

With that, the team made their way to the room, right behind their leader. Spencer noticed the girl also following, making him stop and turn to her "Where are you going?"
