Tickle Book

Parties

     "Guys, meet at my place tonight? I've got lots of wine!" Rossi offered as he and the rest of the team headed to the elevators.

     "I'm down!" Morgan agreed happily, looking at everyone else for an answer.

     "I don't have a ride.." Reid whined as he looked down at his feet. Morgan patted his shoulder lightly.

     "I can pick you up."

     "You sure?"

     "Absolutely!"

     "Alright, I guess I'm going!"

     "Oh, me too!" Garcia agreed.

     "Guys, Will's gotta work tonight and I don't have a sitter." JJ answered with a saddened smile on her face.

     "Yeah, I've gotta watch Jack too." Hotch agreed.

     "Well, bring them!" Rossi offered. JJ and Hotch both looked surprised.

     "Really?"

     "Yeah, I haven't seen them in forever!" Reid grinned, making Morgan chuckle. He hadn't seen the kid so happy in ages.

     "Alright, I'm down! Hotch?" JJ asked. He contemplated for a moment as the elevator doors shut.

     "Okay, fine, we'll be there!" Everyone gave happy cheers as they moved down.

*two hours later*

Reid jumped as his doorbell rang, quickly running for the door. He soon realized that, as he had just hopped out of the shower, his hair was still dripping and he had nothing on except a towel around his waist. He decided that it would be alright because he knew that it was only Morgan at the door. The genius checked the peephole just in case before unlocking and opening the door.

     "Hey, Morgan." Reid greeted, stepping aside to let Morgan in while drying his hair with a second towel. Morgan had not looked at him yet, being distracted by something out the hallway window.

     "Hey, Pretty Boy. You ready?" The older man asked, seeming unfazed by the fact that Reid was half naked. The genius was a little surprised, but decided not to think about it too much. He had too much to think about right now anyways.

     "Yep!" Reid answered, walking towards the door. Morgan quickly reached out an arm to stop him as he stared with confusion. Reid just kind of gave Morgan a 'what?' look in response before Morgan just died laughing.

     "Kid, how about getting dressed?" Morgan asked after he had calmed down. Reid's face flushed a deep red as he realized.

     "Oh-oh yeah." He stuttered, quickly shuffling to his bedroom. Morgan just chuckled before informing Rossi that they may be a few minutes late. A few moments later, Reid came out in a more casual outfit than usual, which surprised Morgan. He wore a light t-shirt with jeans and his normal sneakers. He's smart for that, Morgan thought. It was unbearably hot outside and Reid's normal attire probably would've killed him.

"You ready now?" Morgan asked with a teasing smile. Reid gave him a playful scowl before jogging out the door and towards Morgan's mustang.

*ten minutes of bad car karaoke later*

Reid and Morgan finally arrived at Rossi's house -mansion- and hopped out of the car, excitedly jogging to the door. They were greeted by Rossi, Hotch, and JJ with hugs.

"Where's the kids?" Reid asked after he had gotten his share of wine. The fact that he was drinking anything alcoholic was surprising, but nobody batted an eye.
