Save the Best for Last
Song: Save the Best for Last
By: Vanessa Williams
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
Morgan and Reid were sitting in the break room. Reid was leaning against the counter and sipping at his coffee when Morgan walked in all excited. "Pretty Boy, you'll never guess what happened!"
"You finally got into a committed relationship?" Reid quipped with a teasing smile.
"Ha Ha Ha! Very funny, but you could say that." Morgan says.
Reid almost spat his coffee out. "W-With who?!" He says, trying not to sound shocked. But he failed miserably.
"This girl Samantha. I met her at the coffee shop the other day. She's super cute, and really fun. And we have a date tonight!" Morgan sounded so happy that it sent a twinge of pain through Reid's chest. Before he could let the pain show on his face, he just smiled at Morgan.
"That's… Great! Congrats." Reid says, trying to sound cheery, before walking back to his desk.
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
Reid lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling. One hand Rested against his t- shirt clad stomach, and his other hand absentmindedly petting his cat Mozart. "It's not like he would have wanted me anyway right?" He asks Mozart, who just purrs.
"I mean… One, he clearly doesn't like guys that way, and two, even if he did, why would he want me? I'm his friend, and let's face it, I'm not all too appealing."
Mozart stretched, and turned over to lie on his back so Reid could scratch his tummy. That made him smile slightly. It was quickly replaced with a frown. "Who knows Mozart; maybe… she'll be the one to make him happy." He says, scratching the cat's stomach.
And now we're standing face-to-face
isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
A few seconds had passed before he heard his doorbell ring. "Who could that be at this time of night?"
Reid got up to answer the door, and came face to face with Derek Morgan. "Wh- What?! I thought you had a date!" Reid says, shocked to say the least.
"She- She..Ah… left me hangin." Morgan said, sounding defeated.
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
"I'm sorry." Reid says. He honestly felt bad for Morgan, but then there was the part of him that was glad that it didn't work out, and it made him feel guilty.
"I honestly thought she would be the one. Guess I was wrong huh?" Morgan sounded so broken, that Reid just wanted to hug him. But let's face it, it would be awkward for the both of them.
"Look, she was a fool for standing you up, but you need to think about the big picture. You had just met her, and you automatically think she would just be willing to be in a steady relationship with you? Look, maybe you should get to know someone better first before you try to get romantic with them." Reid says.
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else But now we're standing face-to-face
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Morgan sighed. "Guess you're right Pretty Boy. I'm just… tired of being alone, you know?"
"Don't I know it." Reid muttered under his breath.
Morgan looked at Reid and saw the defeated, hurt look on his face. He moved closer to the younger man and wrapped him up in a hug. "Hey… You know you'd be a great catch for anyone." He said sincerely.
"I don't want just someone." Reid muttered again.
"What was that Pretty Boy?" Morgan asks.
"Nothing." Reid says, pushing himself out of the torturous arms. "Look, it's late, and I'm tired."
"Pretty Boy, seriously, what's wrong?" Morgan asks, worrying over the genius.
Reid keeps his back turned to Morgan, eyes squeezed shut, wondering why he was about to ask this. "Why?"
"I… Don't understand." Morgan says.
"Why not me?" Reid says again, voice cracking.
"What?" Morgan asks, dumbfounded at Reid's question.
"I'm just as good as all those girls. Why can't it be me for once?" Reid says, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for Sometimes the snow comes down in June You went and saved the best for last
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Yeah...
Morgan couldn't help the small smile that formed on his face. So His Pretty Boy did feel the same after all. Morgan didn't waste any time. He took the two strides it took to once again, wrap the young genius up in a loving hug. "Because you never told me how you felt."
Reid looked up at him, his teary eyes and sad pout becoming Morgan's undoing. "W…What?"
"Baby Boy, I'm perfectly fine with the fact that you like me. You could have told me. Because, I've been waiting to hear that you like me for a long time." Morgan says, using one hand to wipe the tears on Reid's face.
"I was scared; I didn't wanna lose our friendship." Reid says.
Morgan kisses Reid's soft mouth gently, and leans his forehead against the younger's. "Never gonna happen Baby."
Reid's blush could be seen from space, but the small smile that formed on his lips was what really made Morgan stare. "I-I love you Morgan." Reid stutters.
Morgan smiles a megawatt smile and kisses the boy's lips harder. "Love you too. Now why don't we go to bed?"
"Stay with me?" Reid asks.
"Of course." Morgan says.
"Warning, Mozart may get a little jealous." Reid says.
"Mozart?" Morgan asks.
"My cat." Reid says.
"I'll make sure I won't encroach on his turf." Morgan say, smiling fondly at the beautiful genius.
"Encroach away." Reid says, blushing as he figures out what he just said.
Morgan chuckles and hugs Reid again as they get to the bed. "So cute. I love you so much." Morgan kisses Reid again, making Reid sigh happily.
"And I love you so much. Now… sleep… please? I'm so tired." Reid begs.
"Of course. Lets' crawl in." Morgan says, as he strips down and holds Reid in his arms as they settle. "Night Pretty Boy."
Reid yawns and smiles happily. "Night." And with that, they both drift into the land of sleep.
