Title: Spencer
Pairing: Reid/Morgan and Hotch/Rossi
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds.
AN: So this little story is a tie-in for my other story It Hurts. But I made everything pretty clear in this story, so I suppose you can read it without reading my other story, which is all about Reid/Morgan and Hotch/Rossi. For whoever reads this, I hope you enjoy it!
Summary: A tie-in to my story It Hurts about the first time Morgan calls Reid "Spencer". Will also most likely make sense to anyone who reads it. Morgan/Reid, a little bit Hotch/Rossi.

Remember that time you called me Spencer?
And I was too tired to reply?
It was two sixteen in the morning when that happened.
It was the first time you called me by my first name.
Before that you always called me by "Reid" or "baby boy"- but never "Spencer".
You did what you promised, too. You told me you'd teach me everything- how to love you, how to not be scared, how to be a good kisser. Although, I never did learn how to keep the secret about us, I'm glad I didn't. Nobody cared the way we thought they would. The only person we need to keep it a secret from is Strauss, and we've been successful in that.
Did you know that four percent of adults ranging in age from eighteen to forty-five identify themselves as gay or bisexual?
You're looking at me like I'm insane.
I'm used to that though. And I think you like it when I spout off a random fact that you didn't know, just because you're learning something. I sometimes wonder if you remember anything I tell you. Sometimes I don't care whether you do or don't, I just want to have told you. You always cut me off, though. I never understood why. Is it because you're embarrassed of me? Is it because you're protecting me by any onlooker who will think I'm a loser? Do you hate that of me? Maybe someday I'll figure it out.
And I remember when we were sitting in the plane and Hotch told everyone we were a couple. I got really sick. I know Rossi said we shouldn't be doing what we were doing, and it hadn't even been a day. We're terrible at keeping secrets. I know that. Hotch and Rossi kept their secret so much longer. Yet, we found out why they told us we shouldn't be doing what we're doing, and why Hotch told our secret- because they were scared for themselves.
I remember when you called me Spencer.
It was so simple, too.
"Move over, Spencer."
That's what you said.
Remember?
It was so simple, but I remember.
Oh and Derek?
I love you.
