Falling in Love with you- A Spencer Reid x Derek Morgan fanfiction

Chapter 3

Derek and Spencer were at the medical examiner's seeing if any other evidence was discovered.

"Well, they more than likely used a knife- stainless steel- and they did make a mess of the bodies." Dr. Jenny spoke.

"What do you mean by mess?" Derek asked.

Spencer was looking closely at the body, but at Derek's words he perked up a bit.

"You see, not only did they slice the stomach open and pull out the intestines, but it's almost as if whoever did this stuck their hand into the body and messed up the lungs, ribs,and heart. This was done perimortom. Poor people."Dr. Jenny indicated how the unsub might have done this.

"Is there any indication of rape?" Spencer asked.

"No, though on the boy- the younger one- there was hesitation marks."

"Okay, if you find anything else please contact us." Derek handed her a card.

"I will." Dr. Jenny showed them the way out, removing her surgical gloves on the way.

Later that day they were at the hotel. Spencer had come up with a geographical profile, and they called Garcia for the back ground checks.

Spencer had taken a shower when he walked out and was about to get his clothes, when he saw something he'd never thought he would see. Derek Morgan was undressing in front of him, back towards the two-way mirror. Spencer stood there for about two minutes, but as soon as he saw Derek reach for his undergarment, Spencer snapped out of his trance-like state and turned his back to the mirror. His face burned a bright red. While Spencer knew that the right thing to do would be to ask for another room, he clearly knew how embarrassing it would be because he had watched Derek undress before saying anything.

So instead of asking for a change, Spencer grabbed his clothes, walked into his bathroom, and got dressed. Once he was done in the bathroom, he walked into his room and was relieved to find Derek wasn't in his line of sight. The one thing Spencer wanted to avoid bringing his personal life to the workplace, but it couldn't be avoided. Spencer had figured out he was pansexual a long time ago, before Mauve and even before Lila Archer. So as time went on, it wasn't a surprise that he became interested with someone on the team. However, when he first admitted to himself that he had feelings for Derek, he was alarmed. Simply because he thought that Derek can see right through him.

Now, this was happening. There wasn't much left to his imagination anymore, but the fact he had figured this out on a case made it somehow worse. Processing this information made him lose sleep, so instead he shoveled down facts on top of this in order to be able to get this case over with. It was almost Christmas, and he didn't want to be awkward around Derek at the Christmas party he had to throw this year. See, the team took turns with throwing holiday parties at each others houses, and this year Christmas was his turn.

The next day, the second of the case, JJ stormed into the lounge where the team was going to meet before heading to the police station.

"Hotch, look at this." She pressed play on the media coverage, and also held a newspaper up. Both showed the images and the headline of 'Nazis Capturer: innocent or guilty?' "The media is saying that the unsub is killing Nazis and are doing the world 'Justice'". We need to hold a press conference."

Then the phone went off in Derek's pocket. "Hey babygirl,what you got? Wait, I'll put you on speaker."

"Turns out that the Schneider and Huff families have something in common. Not only were they in the news and newspaper-"

"We already know that, Garcia" JJ said dryly.

"- but the kids knew each other very well. So well that the kids went to the same school. Don't interrupt me yet, there's more. They knew each other so well that Julia and Waldo Schneider got a restraining order against Markus and Günther Huff from their daughter Melitta Schneider. They said it was because they had got into a nasty fight, but no police or hospital records support it." Garcia got more and more energetic as she said each sentence.

"Thank you babygirl." Derek said as he shut the phone off.

That's another thing Spencer had questions about. He knew Kevin and Garcia were together, yet Derek always called her his 'babygirl' and other pet names.

"I'll go to the police station and talk about the media coverage. We need to give a profile." JJ stated.

They gave the profile: White male, mid forties who had severe abandonment issues. He wouldn't have a wife or kids, but is probably seeing himself as the father to the families. He speaks German, may not know English.

JJ gave the police a lecture on how important it was to keep the media aware of this, but listen to what they ask next time before going public.

So another day had passed and now the team went back to the hotel rooms. Spencer really did know he should tell Derek, but he really did like the view he got. So when he walked into his room, satchel on side, case in a briefcase, he immediately go into the shower as to not see Derek undress, because to be honest he might not be able to look away this time.

The next morning, five days to Christmas, they went to the police station to find the police ready to go out - weapons in arms.

"Fill us in." Hotch demanded to the head chief, hard stare on face.

"We got an anonymous tip that said the person saw the unsub and the Huff family go into a building down on South Irena Avenue and West Hill. So you going or are the big shots going to run on home?" Lance, the head chief spoke in a challenging tone.

"Thank you but this isn't a game. You cannot challenge us. We are coming with you because we have to do paperwork on the case." Hotchner said this almost threatening, while the team got ready.
