Reid drove him nuts, all the time, it didn't matter if the doc was saying something smart or not saying anything at all, the younger man simply drove him up the wall. The worst part of it was Morgan really couldn't decide if he wanted to slap Reid, or fuck him senseless, it was a dilemma that he simply couldn't wrap his hetero bad boy mind around easily. The youngest member of their team was always getting into trouble and it seemed like nothing he could say to Reid would keep the younger man from getting shot at, beaten up, or even kidnapped, it made Morgan practically paranoid.

Staring at the younger man sitting at his own desk and chewing on a pen absently, Morgan had to shift in his seat to get comfortable once more as he watched those full lips wrap around the pen as Reid chewed on it. Blinking and looking away quickly when Reid looked up, Morgan grumbled to himself as he swivled his chair away from the tantalizing picture across from him. Throwing himself into paper work, Morgan worked and tried to keep himself distracted from Reid until it was time for them to go home.

He didn't look up until Morgan realized it was dark in the office and he seemed to be the only one left, he dimly recalled everyone saying their goodbyes to him earlier, but he didn't remember Reid or Gideon saying anything to him. Standing up and stretching, his arms arching over his head for a moment, Morgan walked down the corridors towards Gideon's office. Reaching out to grab the door handle, Morgan stopped when he heard voices inside and moved so he could hear what was happening inside.

"Check and Mate, you're getting better Spencer."

Morgan frowned at the sound of Gideon's voice, what was the older man doing with Reid in his office after hours all alone. He realized in the back of his mind that it was silly to be suspicious of the older man with Reid, but he was jealouse of the time they spent together. Morgan knew that he could probably spend more time with Reid if he wasn't always picking on the younger man, but he wasn't used to being attracted to guys, much less a geek like Spencer, he was like a little boy picking on the girl he liked at school, he just couldn't help himself.

"I'll win some day."

"I'm sure you will. It's late, I'll walk you to your car."

Stepping back when he heard rustling inside of the office, Morgan walked back to his desk and was just putting on his jacket when he saw Reid and Gideon walking down the stairs.

"Hey guys. I didn't know anyone else was still here!"

Ignoring the penetrating look Gideon sent him, Morgan grinned cheekily at Reid and was rewarded by Spencer's wry grin. It made him tingle, that grin, he wondered what that grin would feel like pressed to his own lips. What it would feel like if he flicked his tongue against those lips and pried them open gently to explore the sweet depths of Reid's mouth. Snapping out of it when Gideon and Reid said a goodbye, Morgan nodded and picked up his keys. Walking to his own car, Morgan tried to think about when he would finally admit to his attraction, maybe Reid wouldn't run away from him in terror, just maybe.

It's about life...
It's about fun...
I hate you
I love you
I just can't remember to forget you
Who are you?
I need you
You make me feel alive
I die
So high
I'm crawling on ground and
I found I can't fly

One of these days it's all comes together
One of those days that goes on forever
Think I sound crazy maybe whatever
What tale's about?
It's about life
It's about fun
It's over before it has begun
It's about you
It's about me
It's about everything between
And I say
I say good bye to you
I say hi to you with no clue
It's about time that I
Make up my mind

It's simple, confusing
The truth is
I'm winning, but I'm losing
I'm grinning
And pushing
Won't do me any good
It could
It should
I'm honest tell myself that the truth is I lied

One of these days it's all comes together
One of those days that goes on forever
Think it sounds crazy maybe whatever
What it's all about?
It's about life
It's about fun
It's over before it has begun
It's about you
It's about me
It's about everything between
And I say
I say good bye to you
I say hi to you with no clue
It's about time that I
Make up my mind.

Time is creeping behind me
Surrounding around me
Waiting the words so desperately
Now, give me a reason
That I can believe in
Tell me something you can't rewind

One of these days it's all comes to together
One of those days that goes on forever
Think it sounds crazy maybe whatever
What it's all about?
It's about life
It's about fun
It's over before it has begun
It's about you
It's about me
It's about everything between
And I say
I say good bye to you
I say hi to you with no clue
It's about time that I
Make up my mind.

(It's about life)
(It's about fun)
(It's about you)
(It's about me)

It's about you
(It's about life)
(It's about fun)
(It's about you)
(It's about me)
And I say
I say good bye to you
I say hi to you with no clue
It's about time that I
Make up my mind.
