"I look like a penguin." Reid whined as he looked in the mirror.

"Well it's lucky this day isn't about you then." Morgan replied with a laugh as he adjusted his tie, "It's all about me!"

Reid shook his head a spared Morgan a pitying stare, "Oh please, we all know who wears the pants in the relationship Morgan."

Morgan looked at Reid with shock written across his face before a wide grin broke through the mask and he laughed heartily. "Nah, I know, just humour me ok?" Truthfully Garcia scared Morgan like no one else, he had guns pointed at him regularly in his line of work but nothing was as intimidating as his Baby Girl when he forgot to pick up the dry-cleaning.

Reid thought for a moment, "If you let me choose another suit" he replied.

"Relax Pretty Boy, you look fine." Morgan said as he gave Reid a reassuring pat on the back.

Reid looked affronted, "I don't want to look 'fine' Morgan, I want to look 'great', this is a very important day and I want to look the part. It needs to be perfect." Reid was taking this Best Man thing very seriously, in his spare time he had been reading up on marriage ceremonies, how to host a stag party and even the perfect style of wedding dress for every body type, he knew the shade of white most popular this season, the favourite neckline and where to find the best shoes. Reid was definitely trying to be the 'best man'.

"Well then it's very lucky this isn't about you." Morgan repeated.

"I'm still an important part of this wedding Derek, this is my first wedding and I want it to be special, you are my best friend and I want this to be special for you… and it won't be if I look like a penguin!" Reid insisted, anxiety creeping into his voice.

Morgan lightly placed a hand on Reid's shoulder, "You know what, you're right, I'm sorry Pretty Boy, but the suits are already paid for and I really don't want to spend more time in fittings." Morgan finished as he caught Reid's disheartened look, "Penguins are great, they score all the time-"

"Actually Morgan, penguins mate for life. You see it's due to-"

"Fine then, penguins get life partners, Austin will love it I'm sure, but on the big day I need you with me ok? I need you behind me the whole way, can you do that?" Morgan asked.

"Sure." Reid replied without hesitation.

Morgan called the tailor over, "These are perfect thanks, the Boss will love them." Morgan replied with a knowing glance at Reid. Garcia had been very particular about the way the boys would look, she knew what she wanted.

The tailor wiped the beginnings of a tear from his eyes, "I just think it's so sweet that you are taking the plunge, I didn't realise gay marriage has been passed in Virginia."

They looked at each other shocked and jumped further away from each other, desperately attempting to put more space between them, "Wait no, he's my Best Man!" Morgan yelped.

"I have a best man too." the tailor replied with a wink.

"The problem with being best man at a wedding is that you never get a chance to prove it."
