Spencer Reid's younger sister

Sophie's pov:
Hearing and seeing Derek so angry has frightened me slightly. After how he has been acting throughout this whole day, I would of never thought that he could be like that. When he however saw my frightened face, he quickly apologized and explained to me that he just got irritated. He also promised me that he normally isn't acting like that at all, which strange enough, I did believe. It was after all a rather stressful day, so he simply got set off when his best female friend acted so strangely over the phone. When he on top of that promised that he will apologize to her tomorrow morning, I nod in appreciation. It always is important to apologize after getting into an argument. Otherwise it could end a friendship and that's just really sad. True friends after all are very important!
„How about you get yourself ready for bed now Sophie? It's getting pretty late and the day has been rather stressful for you too." Derek asks me after hugging me tightly for quit some time. Just as he said that I realize how utterly drained I truly am and as if my body try's to agree with his statement, I yawn tiredly.
„Ok. I am just going to quickly shower the day off of me before going to bed." I answer in between two more yawns, which makes him chuckle softly.
„Are you sure it's a Good idea to go shower while being that tired already? Maybe you should do that in the morning instead love?" he questions thoughtfully and seemingly worried that I would fall asleep while standing in the shower. My body has gone all warm and my belly gets full of butterflies as he yet again calls me love. However now isn't the time to think about that. Instead I try to contemplate his question, I mean I am pretty tired already so I guess it would be a good idea to shower in the morning instead of right now. right?
„Ok, than i just go change in one of Spencer's shirts and brush my teeth real quick." I mumble already half asleep. Derek's eyes seem to shine in adoration and something else as he watches me with a soft smile plastered on his beautiful face.
„Ok. Why don't you head on into the bathroom while I get you a shirt from Spencer's bag?" he asks me. Too tired to answer vocally, I simply nod my head in appreciation of his offer and slowly make my way into the surprisingly big bathroom considering that it's a hotel bathroom. With a small sigh I take the fresh toothbrush that stands next to the sink along with the toothpaste and quickly brush my teeth as I feel my eyes getting smaller and smaller. When I rinse out my mouth, I hear a soft knock on the door. Humming my consent to enter seems to do the trick since Derek opens it and hands me a shirt that I don't think belongs to my brother. Yet I don't care enough to ask since I simply am to out of it already. Instead I simply thank him with a small smile. After the door gets closed again, I change out of my clothes and instead get into the unbelievable huge yet very comfy and soft shirt. Slowly and carefully I walk back out into the room, trying to not trip over anything since my eyes seem to betray me slowly as they try very hard to fall shut on me.
„Come her Love." Derek's caring voice suddenly says from next to me and scoops me up into his strong arms. My head right away falls against his hard yet comfy chest. His slow and steady heartbeat sounds like a lullaby to me and before I even know it, my eyes finally win my inner battle and I am out like a light.

Derek's pov:
Seeing Sophie's tired form reminds me of a tired kitten. Her eyes already half closed as she carefully walks towards the bathroom. Shaking my head at how adorable she looks and acts right about now. It really squeezes my heart to see her like that. With another quiet chuckle I shake my head at myself and go towards Spencer's bag. Seeing all of his dress shirts and only one cozy t-shirt, I yet again shake my head at my best friend and instead decide on handing her one of my shirts. After all Spencer surely will need his only cozy shirt for when he gets out of the hospital. And just maybe I don't like the thought of her sleeping in another mans clothes instead of mine, who knows...
Softly I knock on the bathroom door, not wanting to simply walk into it with the knowledge that she is getting ready for bed right now. The nearly inaudible hmm, makes me smile lovingly at her cuteness. When I however open the door only to come face to face with her already half asleep, I bite my lip. Not wanting to openly aww at her. She grabs the offered shirt with a soft smile and mumbles something that seems to mean thanks I am guessing. Not wanting to make her stay that much longer on her own two feet, I hurriedly close the door again so she can get changed into my shirt and than lay down in bed, before she finally collapses onto the bathroom floor from tiredness. It also doesn't take that long before the door opens again. Her eyes nearly completely closed. Seeing her aimlessly walking towards the bed, I decide to simply pick her up instead. Only because I don't want her to fall down of course. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she looks absolutely breathtaking in my shirt! One side of the shirt already fell down her delicate body, revealing the soft skin of her right shoulder. Her head falls onto my chest as a happy sigh leaves her pink lips and only a second later she has fallen asleep in my arms. I don't know for how long I have been standing there with her tiny body in my arms. The only thing I know for sure is that it feels so incredibly right to hold her tiny body against mine. Her constant breathing brushes over my naked chest like a caress. When I finally am able to get myself to lay her down on the bed, she right away whines lowly in displeasure. I mean, How much cuter can she seriously get? Always when I think there is no more precious and sweet being out there, she becomes even more darling! One of her tiny arms slowly grab around the bed and as she doesn't seem to find a body, she whines in slight distress. Of course Not wanting to see her like that, I softly shush her.
„You are fine Love. I am right here." I softly whisper and without thinking about it, lay myself right behind her small body. Said body instantly stops her moving and only very few seconds later, turns around and cuddles even closer against my body. Honestly making me feel as if I just won the lottery! With a loving smile plastered on my lips, I slowly start to caress her back with my right hand and get a happy sigh in reply from her as she seems to fall into an even deeper sleep. After watching her for a bit longer, I lay my head above hers and close my eyes as well. Simply enjoying the closeness with this incredible woman that has stolen my heart the second her eyes found mine back in that police station.
