*complete, 2011 11, character: derek morgan, character: emily prentiss, dead: spencer reid

RP: Derek/Reid, Derek/Emily
Who: Derek/Reid, Derek/Emily
Where: Geek room, their house
When: Dinner time, November 23, 2011
Summary: Derek decides that he and Reid need to talk

Derek knew better than to expect Reid to talk to him, regardless of how many emails he sent. He'd let things slide, because Reid had every right to be upset about the situation, but this couldn't go on for long. As usual his time was limited with work and training, but there was one time when he could corner Reid.

He got dinner for the two of them, and then went to find the other man. It wasn't hard to guess where to find Reid. If he wasn't with Major Crime, he was with the geek squad, although it seemed that even geeks went home with the exception of Reid. Derek went inside and put a container in front of Reid. "I got dinner in case you forgot. It's Chinese what you like and I got a plastic fork for you. I thought we could talk while we eat."

The maneuver took Emily by surprise, but not as much as the speech that followed. It was like the other night when she was following, and yet she couldn't follow all the pieces of the conversation. Feelings and family and attraction and it was the same theme that had been twisting them all up for at least the two months since she'd gotten there.

"Der-" Surprising her further, when Derek stopped speaking, it wasn't to let her respond, but to kiss her!

The shoe dropped from her hand and Emily froze for a heartbeat, shocked. Then shock dissolved and her body responded without her input, her lips parting, welcoming his tongue's exploration. Her hands grasped his sleeves and she had a fleeting thought only the presence of the door at her back and his body pressing her against it were keeping her knees from buckling. God, when was the last time she'd been kissed like this?

Opening eyes she hadn't been aware of closing, she stared at him as he pulled back. "Derek? Wha-?" This was not supposed to happen. They'd talked about this. She wasn't ready. And, yet, she couldn't deny it felt good to be held like this by him. "What are we doing?" she finally asked softly.

"I don't know, but I'm tired of acting like someone I'm not with the people I care the most. I talk, I reason and when it's not enough I act without thinking. I'm still me and some days I get it more right than wrong, and some days it's the opposite," he said with a shrug.

"I'm not asking you for anything, Emily, but I needed to know that it wasn't just the need to have a friend close. You're beautiful, smart, sophisticated, lethal, sexy, funny, and any man would be lucky to be with you." He leaned in and kissed her cheek this time. "I'd like to be that man, and we can wait as long as you need or it might never happen, it's up to you, but at least I know where we stand."

Emily laughed softly despite her mixed reactions. "Now, that's the Derek Morgan I know and missed."

Taking a deep breath, she stared at him for a long moment. This was insane. After they'd been friends and colleagues for so long, that this happened now. But, there'd always been an undercurrent of something there, even if never acknowledged. Sighing, she reached up to trace her fingertips down his cheek, along his jaw. "Give me some time, Derek. It's been a hell of a year in both dimensions. I need to get my feet under me, stand steadily, before I can be any good to someone else. I don't want to hurt you and I will if I don't take a step back and breathe."

Derek smirked. "I didn't want to get spoiled with a nicer version. Then you won't know what to do with the original one."

He turned his head and kissed her fingers. "You have all the time you want. I didn't come here with any expectations. I needed to know that this was for real. That's all. Now, my only plan is to go to advance training and work out some of the irritation I feel, and not with you. I'll see you later."

"The nicer one's a little over-rated, anyway," she teased.

Emily wasn't sure which made her head spin more, the kiss or the fact he was now sure it was real. When there was a chance he was overcompensating for the last year, it was different. But, now... "Thank you." What else could she say? This wasn't the time or the place and another talk wasn't going to change the way either of them felt right then. Twisting free of him carefully, she opened the door. "Go pound something or someone and prove Garcia's nicknames deserved," she teased. "See you later."
