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

Chapter 8

Derek thought that Spencer went a little too far on the case they ended a few days ago. So, he asked Spencer to come over to his house in order to confront him. When he heard the knock on his front door he took a deep breath before opening the door. He saw Spencer in a plaid long-sleeved shirt and jeans- these were nothing new- but what caught Derek's eyes the most was the fact that his friend was plastered with snow. Had Derek been so worried he didn't notice it had started snowing? He shook off the thought and instead ushered Spencer into his home.

Spencer sat his satchel on the coat rack- along with his brown suit cover- and followed Derek's lead into his living room.

"Listen, Spencer, what you did on the last case wasn't okay- you took it to far." Derek made his point very blunt, but confused Spencer a bit.

"What? I was following the plan- have him be interested in me, have him see myself with you, and follow him out. I didn't get hurt. I followed the plan. So what exactly did I take too far?"Spencer spoke briskly, setting his defenses up. Derek could tell.

"You are supposed to follow him into the alley. Not into his home! What you did was absurd! His house. You followed him into his HOUSE, you realize how unsafe that was? You could have gotten hurt. Now- I thought it was absurd when you came back after a month of your mother's de-"

"Don't you dare bring her into this. If I would have went to her instead of being with you, I could have saved her! Now as far as how my safety concerns you, I'm not sure. And if you think for one second that I wasn't being safe you could have intervened any time! You, as well and the rest of the team, knew that! So what do you think I took to far?-" Spencer went bright red before saying softly, but still angrily-"If you thought I took the...kiss...'too far'- well, you seemed to like it."

Derek went bright red- but for other reasons. " 'I don't know how your health concerns you.' Really, Spencer? Don't you remember how we all acted when you were taken by Hankel? And how we all reacted when you confessed you had been addicted to dilaudid? We were terrified. So how do you think that we-no, I- would react to having walked into that room and seen your corpse?" Derek was now full-on yelling.

Spencer knew he was right. But they were at a point in which they were getting everything out. So, Dr. Spencer Reid simply stood back and let Derek yell at him.

"Now, as for the...kiss... we were at work on the job. So as far as I was concerned in that situation, yes, you did slightly over do it. The team could have caught us!"

"You're worried about what the team would think of us?" Spencer was talking halfheartedly.

"Well- until you learn how to act right- and be safe- on the job, as far as I am concerned there is no 'us'." Derek wasn't sure he meant the words, but they needed to be said.

Spencer slowly got up from his chair- well, Derek's- and walked into the entrance way. Slowly he put his suit jacket over his shoulders and put his satchel on over his shoulder- making it hang across his body. "Well, Special Agent Derek Morgan, I will see you at work tomorrow. Hope I'm not a nuisance to you." He opened the door and started to walk towards it-but instead a chunk of snow fell into Derek's house.
