Summary
"'There you are. That makes so much sense…You know,' He tilts his gun side to side vaguely and makes a noise akin to something someone would make while they’re thinking, never actually taking it away from the spot where it’s pressed against his temple, but they remain on high alert regardless. The motion itself reminds Morgan all too much of Spencer snuffing a cigarette out in an ashtray, and he almost can’t believe he’s thinking like this but he misses being able to watch his boyfriend do that. (He’d been trying to convince the genius to quit, but one half-joke about how he could be addicted to other things and he begrudgingly accepted it) The man barks out another laugh, 'He screamed for you. He screamed so loud, begging for you to come help him. Thought he must have damaged his vocal cords or somethin’, but he didn’t ever stop.'"

Summary
Reid seems to deflate at that, a soft look entering his eyes. “Yeah,” the younger man looks down at their joined hands, “You’re gonna be okay.” It stays like this for a minute, before Spencer’s eyebrows furrow and he hits Derek lightly on the bicep. “But don’t ever do that again!”
They both know it’s an unreasonable request, given their job, so they burst out laughing together and Finally, Derek thinks, I warmed his heart. Their lips meet again and again, breaking away only because they’re grinning so much.
Or: Derek gets shot on the job and everything sucks for a bit but it's all gonna be okay.

Summary
One month ago he remembers stumbling through their first dance, too distracted by the look in Derek's eyes and the smile that never fell of his face. One week ago he remembers lamenting coming back to work even as they pulled into the parking lot at Quantico. One hour ago he'd made a grocery list. Now, he clenches his fingers into a fist to stop the shaking and tries to look at Hotch but the ring on his finger feels like it weighs a ton, and Spencer can't hear anything except the dull roar of the blood rushing in his ears because it couldn't– no, not like this, not now.
"Spencer."
The sound of his name and the squeeze of Hotch's palm on his shoulder brings Hotch's office back into office and he swallows roughly.
"I'm sorry, Reid, Morgan didn't make it," Hotch repeats.

Summary
He gets to hold on, even if it’s only for a bit, even if it’s not real, even if it doesn’t mean anything, and that’s enough.
(It has to be enough.)
(Because someone like Derek Morgan could never love someone like Spencer Reid.)
