Drabbles: Valentine's Day gifts - 3 M/R, 1 P/R, 1 H/M
Prompt: Morgan/Reid - heart

Four months ago, he'd sat in an interrogation room and told an unsub that he'd never been in love with another man before. Four months ago, it had been true.
Sure, Derek had been sleeping with Reid for almost two and a half months at that point, but he wasn't in love, not then, not ever. Thankfully, Reid didn't hear that part of the interrogation...or if he did, he'd never brought it up or appeared to hold it against him.
Even now, he's not sure when it snuck up on him, but as Reid apologizes to him from behind the thick glass door, he realizes the only way his heart could ache this much is if he'd given a piece of it away.

Prompt: Morgan/Reid - coming out to Morgan's family
For: amy494walker
Rating: FRC
Their trip to Chicago had gone well; the reactions of Morgan’s family had been favorable and that made Spencer happy because he knew from his previous visit just how close and loving their family was.
Fran fussed about how skinny he was and told him far more stories from Morgan’s childhood than Morgan deemed necessary. Desiree told him all the important tidbits - the dates of the family’s various birthdays and anniversaries, how to answer Fran’s questions about when she’d be getting grandbabies, and which spots on Morgan were the most ticklish. Sarah pulled Spencer aside to tell him that because she had given him hints that Morgan was head over heels for him, that she would feel responsible if her little brother got hurt. It was vague and implied, but Spencer was sure there was a well-meaning threat hiding between her words.
Just from the slow, tender way Morgan kisses him once they’re alone, it’s obvious that he’s utterly relieved and Spencer can’t believe just how lucky they are.

Prompt: Morgan/Reid - secret
For: justjasper
Rating: FRC/PG
One of his first thoughts when they started dating was that he should probably tell Reid about a few things. And he did, all except one. It was something Derek was ashamed of, something he knew he should have stopped doing years ago. Derek knew Reid would be even more unhappy if he didn't just come clean, but took him a bit to get up the nerve.
So he made a nice dinner, put on his nicest clothes, and tried to calm himself down. Reid raised his eyebrows at the dinner, but sat down to eat anyway.
When he slid the pack of cigarettes across the table, Reid stayed silent, but expectant.
"I've quit. Mostly. Just some times after bad cases..." He looked down, scrubbing at his face.
"Studies have shown that being around people who want you to quit makes it more likely that you will. Besides, sex is healthier stress reliever than smoking."
When Derek looked up, his lover was smirking and then he couldn't keep a straight face either.

Prompt: Prentiss/Reid - laughter
For: beautifulxmesses
Rating: FRC
Some times, once Prentiss starts laughing, she can’t stop. It's infectious and even when Spencer tries his hardest, he can't help but join in. There are nights he purposefully triggers it - the back of her right knee is nearly foolproof - because he knows they need it.
Tonight, they needed it and as their laughter fills the air, he knows they're going to be alright.

Prompt: Hotch/Morgan - laughter
For: latxcvi
Rating: FRC
Tag to: 4x1 (Mayhem)
The drive home from New York is somewhat tense until Derek cracks a joke about onions and it surprises a laugh out of Hotch. Derek feels incredibly pleased with himself because with everything that happened in the past few days, he would have considered pulling a smile out of his boss to be a victory. And yeah, their discussion stays on a surface level for the last two hours of the trip, but Derek’s perfectly content to put up with a more than few playful jabs as long as it keeps Hotch from focusing on everything that’s gone wrong.
