Summary
This wasn’t how Reid wanted it, not now, not ever. He chokes back everything threatening to overwhelm him and tries to find the words he’s been twisting himself into knots to say.
Desperate tears smudge the man in front of him, and he blinks them away, again when the blur returns just as quickly as it had gone. He wants, needs to see Morgan clearly. Just in case.
His vision clears, and Morgan is smiling, bittersweet and eerily, hauntingly calm.

Summary
"To have someone understand your mind is a different kind of intimacy altogether." — Farraz Kazi
In the wake of Derek's declaration of love - and the ensuing physical exploration - Spencer had no idea what was supposed to come next. Dating? Going Out? What was the difference between those two terms on a practical level, anyway? A relationship? Wasn't any interpersonal connection between two people a relationship? At a loss, and finding books not nearly as helpful as he would have expected on the subject, he decided to follow Derek's lead. After all, Derek had been in relationships before. ...Hadn't he?

(Or, Spencer spends some time in the sun which reveals that he has freckles on his back. Derek becomes a little infatuated with them.)
