⊹ 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: After a wrong assumption was made by Derek, he discovers his friend isn’t all she seems, leading them to form new relationships.
⊹ 𝐀/𝐍: AU where they don’t have husbands, and Derek tells JJ to shoot her shot! For the prompt: 6 ➺ “Maybe if you actually stop staring at her and talk to her, you might have a chance.” Also, Derek and JJ’s friendship is so underrated!!!
They’d just gotten back from a case, when Derek snuck up behind JJ. She was standing by the glass doors of the entrance to the bullpen, looking inside where Kate sat at Spencer’s desk, laughing at something the boy said. He snuck up behind her, placing a hand between JJ’s shoulder blades, startling the woman.
“Jesus, Derek, you can’t just sneak up on people like that, you scared the shit out of me!” She sighed out, looking at him for a moment, before turning her attention back to the pair in front of them. She gave a small smile as she placed her hand atop her chest, playing with the hem of her shirt.
“Maybe if you actually stop staring at him and talk to him, you might have a chance.” He told her, as he rubbed a small circle on her back, and she leaned into the touch.
“He’s not the one I’m staring at...” she responded, absentmindedly, only realizing her words after they’d already passed her lips. Derek stopped his movements, and raised an eyebrow at her. “Be... cause I wasn’t staring! I was just, uh... you know, looking ahead, not really thinking about anything, anyway, would you look at that, it’s getting late, I shou-“ her rambling was stopped by Derek’s amusing chuckle.
“Miss. Jennifer. Jareau! I didn’t peg you for the type!” He said with a smile, still chuckling lightly. She dropped her head, as he pulled her in for a hug. “Well, then, let me rephrase... Maybe if you actually stop staring at her and talk to her, you might have a chance!” He said, laughing slightly, as she scoffed and smiled upwards at him.
“Do you really think that?” She whispered lowly, resting her head on his chest, facing sideways so she could keep looking at the view in front of her. Kate looked upwards at her, making JJ suck in a breath when the brunette smiled through her lashes, before turning back to the conversation with the boy sitting at the desk below her. JJ let out the breath she was holding, only making Morgan smile more at the interaction. “You really think I could have a chance with her?”
“Oh, yeah! Definitely!” He chuckled as they pulled apart, placing a soft kiss at the top of her head before letting her go. “Now get out there, and go. get. your. lady!” She chuckled softly at that, and nodded, turning to open the glass doors before Derek grabbed her arm ever-so-slightly. “You know I love you, right?” He said to her fondly. “And this changes nothing?” She smiled at him, turning back around to hug him again. She wrapped her arms around him, nuzzling into his chest as he hugged back.
“I know!” She smiled, pulling away, and looking at him directly in the eyes. “Same goes for you!” She winked at him before walking away, heading towards Spencer’s desk. He chuckled shyly to himself, following after her.
“Hey you two!” JJ said as she approached his desk, Morgan standing by her side in a matter of moments. She looked at him for a few moments, and he nodded in confirmation. They’d been friends for so long that it was so easy to decipher what the other was thinking, and it came all too naturally to them. “We were thinking, we wanted to kno- we thoug-“ she stumbled around her words, but luckily Derek came to the rescue.
“Would you guys wanna go out with us? You know, like a double date?” He watched as JJ gave him a 'thank you' look, and Kate and Spencer looked at each other with wide eyes.
“Oh, no- we’re not-“ Reid started, pointing between him and Kate, but was stopped by Morgan’s hand being placed softly on his wavering one.
“That’s not what I meant, pretty boy...” he looked down at the boy fondly, as realization broke his expression. Kate bowed her head, looking at JJ though her lashes again, as she smiled, making the blonde blush furiously. She looked at Spencer as the boy's lips curled upwards and he took Derek’s hand in his own. He looked up at Kate and they nodded slightly at each other before he spoke up.
“Yeah, we’d love to!” He breathed out, as Derek let go of his hand to caress his face. Kate pulled away from where she was leaning on the desk, and stood closer to JJ, barely inches away from her face.
“Sounds great!” She smiled, as she stepped away to grab her coat. JJ closed her eyes as she let out the breath she didn’t know she was holding, before a long black coat was draped over her shoulders. She turned to see the older woman right behind her, and below her chin, she could feel the heartwarming smell of Kate’s jacket. Kate pressed a slight kiss to her cheek and a palm on her waist. “You ready?” JJ nodded, at her, smiling softly when Kate pulled back just enough to see her full face.
As they were getting their stuff to leave, and Morgan draped his arm around Spencer’s torso, the boy noticed Penelope and Rossi at the end of the room, slightly watching the interaction. Rossi rolled his eyes, pulling out his wallet and handing what Spencer could only assume was a 50 dollar bill, judging by the tones of pink at the end of the paper. He tried not to think about it as his attention got snatched away again by his friends, and soon to be boyfriend. And at that they walked out, to what they could only imagine to be the best night of their lives.
