Working Late [fluff]

A/N: Here you go, you wackadoos. It's short, but deal with it, loves. 

Reid rubbed his eyes. It was around 1 AM, and he was still hunched over his desk, only a small green desk lamp lighting his papers. Derek was sleeping in the other room, and all Reid wanted to join him.

But he had to finish these by morning, well that's what he kept telling himself. He was on his second to the last page when he heard the door to his and Derek's shared study.

"Hun, let's go to bed," Derek said, leaning heavily on the door frame. He was only wearing gray boxers and a thin graphic T-shirt. He looked extremely tired and almost annoyed that Reid wasn't in bed with him.

"I only have a page left, I'll be there in a moment," Reid said, focused on the pages in front of him. It was a report on their latest case, which had been especially brutal, and he was finding it hard to write down the tragedy that occurred in such clinical terms.

"Baby, you can finish it in the morning, but right now, you gotta rest that pretty head of yours," Morgan wrapped his arms around Reid's shoulders, kissing the top of his head Reid let out a sigh and fell back into Derek's embrace. 

Reid looked at the papers, guilt rising at the thought of unfinished work he was leaving himself with. But it was immediately squashed by the thought of Derek wrapping him in his strong arms and falling asleep.

"Okay..." He said indecisively. His mind was at war with himself, and he knew he would get a migraine soon enough.

"Finally," Derek said in a jokingly exasperated voice. He was glad that he'd made Reid stop working for a second. Reid started to get out of his chair, but Derek stopped him. He looked up at him, confused before swiftly getting scooped into Derek's arms. 

"woAH!" Reid exclaimed, clinging on to Derek for dear life.

"Geez babe, you're so light," Derek said, doing a mock bicep curl to prove his point. He also made a mental note to make sure Reid was eating. But that could wait until morning He thought to himself. 

Derek carried him down the hall, peppering Reid's face with pecked along the way. Reid was relieved to be in Derek's arms, almost falling asleep. But sadly, he was still dressed for work, vest, and all.

Derek gently set him down on the bed. He got up, quickly changing into his pajamas, and laid down next to Derek, who pulled the smaller man into his chest. 

"Get a good night's sleep, love." Derek kissed the back of Reid's head, hugging him tightly.

"I'll try," Reid said jokingly, turning around to face Derek and sliding his hand around Derek's neck.

"I love you, baby." He kissed Reid's forehead, and Reid tucked his head into Derek's chest.

"Love you too," Reid mumbled, already half asleep. Derek chuckled deep in his chest at how quickly Reid passed out and ran a hand through Reid's hair. Derek fell asleep quickly after him, holding him tight.
