Music Meme
So I decided to do the music meme that was going around the other day. In case you weren't around for that, here are the rules.
1. Pick a character, fandom, pairing, friendship, whatever.
2. Put on your music program on shuffle/random and start playing songs.
3. For each song, write something inspired by the song related to the theme you chose earlier. You only have the song length. No pre-planning and no writing after the song is over. No skipping songs either.
4. Do 10 songs and post. Make sure to include the song name/artist.
I ended up doing 12 because I thought I was finally getting the hang of it, but I was wrong. This was really tough for me because I don't concentrate well when listening to music. I usually focus on the lyrics of the song. I found myself singing and was left with some really ridiculous responses. I had to post them though. Hopefully you can laugh at the absurdity. :D

What's Under My Bed by Horrorpops (Characters: Hotch, Jack Rating: G)
"Daddy?"
Hotch looked up to see his son half awake leaning in the doorway to his home office.
"What's wrong Buddy?"
"There's a monster under my bed. I can't sleep."
"Oh, Jack. There's no such things as monsters."
"Can you... can you check anyway?"
"Sure." Hotch stood up from the chair and followed Jack to his room down the hall.
He learned down to inspect under the child-sized bed.
"I see no monsters. Do you think you can get some sleep now?"
"Yeah. Thanks Daddy."
"No problem Buddy."
Les Lumieres by Idiot Pilot (Pairing: Morgan/Reid Rating: PG)
Morgan slowly opened his eyes surprised to find the bedside table lamp on despite it being 4AM on a work night.
He looked over to see Reid reading a large textbook with his glasses precariously perched on his nose. His brow was furrowed in concentration.
"Go to sleep Pretty Boy," Morgan muttered. He turned onto his stomach, forcing his face into the pillow.
"Ten more minutes and I'll be done," Reid said as he flipped the page.
"You know I can't sleep with the light on."
"And you know that I can't."
Everything's Everything by Horrorpops (Pairing: Morgan/Reid Rating: PG-13)
Reid hated to admit it to himself, but he was falling in love with his co-worker. His extremely macho, straight co-worker.
Yet he couldn't help imagining him and Morgan growing old together. How their life would be.
It was impossible, however, so he settled to be just friend. They joked around at work and even hung out on the weekends.
Reid couldn't let the silly "crush" go though. He wouldn't let himself. Maybe someday Morgan would see what they had was more. He was supposed to be a profiler after all.
I Have Friends in Holy Space by Panic at the Disco (Pairing: Morgan/Reid Rating: G)
Reid squeezed Morgan's hand as they walked down the street. He knew that Morgan hated public displays of affection, so he was elated at the small gesture. A bolt of lighting danced across the sky, but Reid couldn't care less.
The Phrase That Pays by The Academy Is... (Characters: Reid, original Rating: R to be safe. Note: This one is weird. You have been warned.)
The room was cold and damp. He tried to move and realized he was tied to the chair he occupied. If the blindfold hadn't tipped him off, it was obvious he'd been kidnapped... again.
A door opened and he could sense someone enter his prison.
"I'm so happy to meet you at least Dr. Reid," a slimy voice drawled.
'Just great,' Reid thought. 'Another crazed fan.'
Pollution by The Hippos (Pairing: Morgan/Reid Rating: PG-13 Note: While it fits in with the lyrics, it's darker than the song.)
I understand that he would have some issues coming into this. He always had problems with trusting people.
What I don't understand is why after two years he continues to push me away. I want to do what's best for me and get out of this unhealthy relationship, but I can't.
I love you too much Morgan. I won't let you down. I can be what you want. Don't throw this away.
I Will Be Grateful for This Day by Bright Eyes (Characters: Emily, mention of Reid Rating: R for mention of drug use.)
Emily loved to drive around with the air conditioner blowing in her face and the radio playing as loud as it could go.
She would think about anything and everything during this time. How different her life would be if she had her child. How she wished she could help Reid as he struggled with Dilauded as well as his identity.
She never believed in destiny. She didn't regret her decisions - past or present. She wrote her own story. She was just grateful for her life, this artificial cool air and the local college disc jockey.
Champagne by Sugarcult (Pairing: Morgan/Reid Rating: R for language.)
The champagne tasted exquisite as Reid polished off another glass. He could feel Morgan's eyes watching him.
'Well, fuck him,' Reid thought. If Morgan brought another date to Garcia's party, he was allowed to have fun and if that meant getting plastered, so be it.
'I'm moving on baby.'
Reid tossed back a fifth glass and stumbled over to one of the cute techs Garcia had invited.
'Happy fuckin' New Year.'
O Girlfriend by Weezer (Pairing: Morgan/Reid Rating: R to be safe.)
The car was getting cold, but Morgan was afraid to turn the heat on. Someone would hear the engine thus alerting them to his position.
Which was right outside Reid's apartment building. He was still in love with the genius even though he wouldn't admit it while they were going out. Now he was lost without Reid by his side.
Reid had moved on, though, as evident by him leaving the building with another man, laughing.
Morgan hit his head against the steering wheel, shouting.
Kiss Me, I'm Contagious by From First to Last (Character: Morgan Rating: PG-13 Note: First I questioned why I still have this on my iPod. Second, I thought of coffeebuddha 's Western AU. Thirdly, I laughed too much that all I got was this.)
The small town of Spittin' Gulch was in an uproar. The thief known only as Morgan the Mask had pillaged the entire town, leaving behind chaos.
Jesse Buy Nothing... Go to Prom Anyways by Hellgoodbye (Characters: Garcia, Reid Rating: PG-13)
"Spencer, just relax and have fun," Penelope scolded her date and best friend.
"But I don't want to go Pen. Prom is a stupid tradition," Spencer said as he shifted uncomfortably in his tuxedo.
"You're doing this for your BFF who couldn't find another date. Quit your bellyachin' and get in the car. I am determined to have fun. I suggest you do the same."
More Than Local Boys by The Matches (Characters: Hotch, Morgan, Reid, Rossi Rating: PG-13)
The Profilers were a garage band that Hotch had started with his friends back in freshman year. Now they were facing graduation and had to decided if they wanted to pursue a career in music.
"I think we should do it," Morgan said.
"I don't. I really should go to CalTech," Reid said. "I have a full scholarship and this might not pan out."
"We can do it!" Rossi yelled. "I can already see our names in lights."
"We are good enough," reid agreed.
"What do you think Hotch?" Morgan asked.
Hotch thought for a second. "Pack your bags boys!"
