A/N: This is written for BonesBird, for the Valentine's Challenge over at the Chit Chat on Author's Corner Forum. She asked for Morgan/Garcia, with the song prompt The Coral - Dreaming about you and the three prmopts were Valentine's card, soft Lightning and expensive meal. I use the song prompt extremly liberal and any prompt will not appread before closer to the end. Was supposed to be oneshot, turned into a few more chapters. The POV of the Pro- and Epilogue are first person, all the rest inbetween is third person. And I deliberatly do not give away who the 'narrator' is.


Six years. That's how long I witnessed the 'misery' until I decided that someone needed to step in. If SSA Derek Morgan and our Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia weren't able to sort things out themselves someone should give them a rather hard shove in the right direction. That someone would be me and trust me, I certainly had no problem with that challenge.

For six years these two were dancing around each other, flirting, touching, invading each other's personal space. The conversations they had in the office or over the phone were the furthest away from being described as professional or appropriate, but none of us really minded it anymore. It was somehow actually amusing, to hear them call each other pet names, seeming to be in a constant competition who could find the worst. But things never moved anywhere. They were plenty of talk, but no action ever followed.

When Penelope was shot things between them seemed to change for a moment, for the duration of maybe a week and we all were hopeful that finally they would end their dancing around and just act. That's when Technical Analyst Kevin Lynch stepped into all our lives. I can't really say that he found a large fan base in the BAU, but Penelope was head over heels for that guy. He was a good guy, he just was wrong for our Penelope. Kevin never did anything wrong, he just never did anything right either. Birthdays, anniversaries or other important days were simply forgotten and although you could see the love between both of them, there was one thing that was missing: Passion. And passion was something she and Derek Morgan had going on plenty. They just didn't know or seem to pick up on it.

Kevin Lynch by now was history again and Penelope happy single. Well, that was at least what she told everyone. But we think that while she might be happy being single, she would be even happier being with Derek Morgan. She just didn't know that yet.

Well, that's what Valentine's Day is for. To bring together what belongs together. And if they don't want to get moving themselves I am just too happy to give them a helping hand, or two.
