- Angel genuinely did love val in the beginning and thought val loved him too

Until, of course, your feelings start to get involved. Your situation is complicated enough without the unexpexted predicament that suddenly befalls upon you. But with a maniac serial killer on the loose, will you ever get the chance to make everything right?
Warning(s): 18+ NSFW SMUT, oral (m receiving), fingering, unprotected penetrative sex, dirty talk, slight mdom/fsub dynamic, praise kink (?), dubious consent (only because both of them are kinda drunk), alcohol consumption, cursing (a lot of it)
Word Count: 3700-ish
Author's Note: sooo I used to write for law and order svu a long time ago on my old account, but I haven't really picked up fanfiction writing for a long time now, but this is definitely a first time for me writing smut so pls keep that in mind lol. that being said, I was absolutely APPALLED by the lack of derek fanfics on this platform, hence why I decided to take matters into my own hand and wrote this little piece right here :) this fic is gonna be divided into several parts and I'll try to post an update asap. the tw will be adjusted accordingly on each part of the fic. I'll also be making a masterlist for the whole series hopefully sooner rather than later. in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the story below and don't forget to drop a like/comment/reblog xoxo
Love Bugs Masterlist / Criminal Minds Masterlist
Since the first time you met him, Derek Morgan was never less than 200 pounds of danger and charm, and he wore that fact with immense pride.
"I'm Derek," he offered smoothly, palm extended to shake yours the moment Hotch introduced you to the team.
"Nice to meet you," was your reply. His hand felt sturdy against your clammy one. "You can call me (Y/N). Or Beetle. Whichever works."
"Beetle?" Someone in the room interjected. You were pretty sure her name was Emily. "How'd you get Beetle from (Y/N) (Y/L/N)?"
"It's a childhood nickname. Kinda stuck." You shrugged. "It's a long story."
That was how everything started.
Flirtatious was Derek's second nature. You convinced yourself not to be swayed by the sweet nothings he kept on dropping wherever he went, especially when you began to understand more about his dynamics with Penelope Garcia. You were just another side quest in his little game, and Derek was merely eager to be the number one top player in the leaderboard.
But your heart, unfortunately, had always been much more vulnerable than your head.
And Derek Morgan, as you came to find out, was its biggest kryptonite.
"Hey, Bug." Derek had approached you after one particularly grisly case. The nickname he had chosen to adopt for you after a couple of weeks being on the team dripped easily from his tongue. "Drinks afterwards?"
"Sure. Who else is coming?"
"Just us two tonight, sweetheart." He winked.
You should have seen it coming.
You should have known that getting drinks late at night with Derek Morgan--alone--was going to be the start of your rapid downfall.
Derek Morgan was the kryptonite to your heart.
Yet then again, you always knew you were secretly a masochist.
"Okay, okay, back up a minute," Derek choked out in between laughter. "That's how you got the nickname Beetle?"
You were quite enjoying the sight in front of you. Twinkled eyes, carefree Derek, who was finally able to let himself loose thanks to the alcohol in his system. The smile lines on his face miraculously made him appear younger, and you could almost catch a glimpse of the young, ambitous football star he once had been before he began pursuing the life of law and justice.
"Yep." You nodded sheepishly, stirring the remaining liquor in the glass in front of you. "I didn't know, okay? How was I supposed to know that beetles can reproduce and multiply that much in the span of a couple of weeks? And frankly, I blame my teachers for failing to satisfy the curiosity of an eight-year old me."
"Alright. Blame the underappreciated heroes of this country, then. How were they supppsed to know you'd actually manage to cause a beetle infestation, Bug?" He pointed an accusatory finger at you. "Please tell me you got punished."
"I did. Mandatory volunteer work." Derek stared in disbelief at your answer. "Well, they wanted to suspend me, but my mother could be very persuasive."
"Meaning, she threatened to sue the school?" Derek raised an eyebrow, remembering the one time you told him that your mom was a lawyer before she passed away.
The rest of the night unraveled similarly. With more anecdotes shared and less sobriety kept, conversation with Derek flowed effortlessly. It felt like a swimmer being back in the water after a year-long sabbatical. Before the two of you realized it, hours had passed since you and Derek first stumbled into that bar, and the finale of an exhausting day had at last morphed into the premiere of a better one.
At Derek's insistence, he accompanied you on the taxi ride back to your apartment, ignoring the constant protest that you kept voicing out loud during the entire journey.
"This is absolutely unnecessary. I told you I'm fine," you grumbled as you staggered from the taxi towards your apartment bulding.
Derek caught up with you easily despite having to linger back to pay for the taxi fare. You stopped on the steps leading towards the front door, too busy fishing for your apartment key to notice that your balance had started slipping from your state of inebriation.
You laughed drunkenly when you felt yourself fall into a pair of strong arms. "Whoopsies. Sorry."
"Careful, Bug. Don't hurt yourself," Derek muttered softly.
Your whole body shuddered at the sensation of his breath on your ear. Derek had never felt this close before. Not even when you hugged each other goodbye or when you embraced one another after a close call in one of your cases. This time, his arms around you felt intimate. That fact alone managed to sober you up even if only for a fraction.
"Okay. I'm okay."
You scrambled out of Derek's firm but gentle hold, finally producing the offensive key from your purse before inserting it into the key hole.
"Thanks for taking me home. You didn't have to."
"I know." Derek raised his fingers, pushing away the strands of hair that had fallen over your eyes as a consequence of the passing wind. "I wanted to."
You stood there under the darkness, body nailed in place by a force far greater than anything you ever knew. Derek was looking at you with an unidentifiable gaze. One that seemed to burn brightly beneath his eyes, but warm and tender once they fell upon your skin.
The intensity was new. Overwhelming. It struck your core, stripping you bare of any defense left in both your body and soul.
Perhaps, that was exactly why the next words even managed to leave your mouth.
"You're pretty."
And God, he really was.
Derek Morgan was beautiful. All six feet and two inches of him. He looked pretty in the mornings when he slid a warm cup of hazelnut latte across your desk, and he looked just as pretty in the evening under the delicate strokes of moonlight.
At the sight of his amused beam in response to your sudden remark, you began to contemplate why anyone hadn't tried to claim him as the eighth wonder of the world.
"I'm pretty?"
"Very."
"I think you're prettier."
"Hm?"
Derek took another step forward, closing the distance between the two of you until the air you exhaled became the very one he breathed in.
"Good night, (Y/N)." The rare sound of your name out of his mouth made you shiver.
Derek exterminated the remaining gap between the two of you. For a second, your entire nerve endings stood in anticipation, waiting for the moment that his plush lips would touch yours.
They never did.
Instead, his kiss had landed on your cheek, viciously close to where the line of your lips started that you could almost picture how he would taste when you closed your eyes.
Derek started to pull away, but he never got further than a mere centimeter before you decided to take matters into your own hand and pressed your own lips to his inviting ones.
He tasted of alcohol and mint. But most importantly, he tasted of Derek. A distinctive sweetness that erupted the dormant butterfiles in the pit of your stomach. They began to soar freely inside of you under the influence of Derek's touch.
Your entire being was on fire. What started as sweet and alleviating soon turned into a contest of desperation. Before you knew it, you somehow had managed to unlock the front door and moved inside, all the way to the door of your own apartment.
When he nipped your bottom lip, you couldn't help but moan into the kiss.
"Fuck," Derek murmured against your lips after hearing the needy sound you just made. "Fuck me."
"I'm trying to," you said impatiently, scrambling to get ahold of his collar and brought his lips back to where they belonged.
Your ministrations screeched to a halt with Derek's hands around your wrists. "Hey. No, Bug. Stop."
Derek took a step back then, letting your hands fall back to your side. He never strayed far from where you stood against the wooden door, but even that tiny bit of distance was enough to make you crave more of him.
You needed to feel his body pressed up against yours, to have him incredibly close that you had no idea where he ended and you began.
"Derek, please..."
You should have been ashamed by how wretched your voice sounded, but you didn't care. You wanted him past the point of caring.
His smile was gentle and forlorn at the same time. "No, sweetheart. Not tonight."
Just like that, your heart plummeted straight out of your chest. "What?"
"Go inside, (Y/N). Get some sleep."
"No!"
Had it been any other day or any other person, you would have chastised yourself for your lack of propriety. But it wasn't any other person standing in front of you. It was Derek. Beautiful, kind, and courageous Derek. Your friend. Your kryptonite.
The oblivious owner of your heart.
"Don't go," you whispered. "Come inside. Stay with me tonight."
"I don't think that's such a good idea."
Your gut churned with dread. "Y-you don't?"
"Christ. I didn't mean it like that. Hey, look at me." He tugged a finger under your chin, forcing your eyes to stare into his dark ones. "You have no idea how much I want to. But you're drunk."
"So are you."
"Exactly my point."
"Derek--"
"I'm not gonna have you forget our first time in the morning just because you were too drunk to remember it, Bug."
The urge to chortle was almost unbearable.
Derek seemed to notice the comical mischief shining in your eyes. "What?"
"It's funny that you think I would ever forget the first time we fuck."
A breathy laugh rumbled out of his chest. "You're a menace, woman."
"A menace who wants you. Please, Derek," you started to whine. "I'm sober enough to give my consent. Hell, I could even recite the entire FBI oath to prove it if you want. You wanna see? I, (Y/N) (Y/L/N), do solemnly swear that I will support and defend--"
"Bug--"
"--the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic--"
"(Y/N)--"
"--that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same--"
You never did finish reciting the remainder of that oath.
The taste of Derek's lips on yours was an interruption you'd gladly welcome at any time of day. Through some sort of miracle, you managed to drag the two of you inside the safety of your apartment without ever breaking the kiss.
When it was time to come up for air, Derek's voice was raspy in your ear, "Sweetheart, I think--"
You didn't give him a chance to protest.
The kisses you peppered started on his neck. When your teeth gritted over his pulse point, Derek let out a low moan that vibrated through your entire being.
"Oh God..."
You continued showering kisses down his body, enjoying the way Derek had been bespelled by the magic of your touch. The buttons of his shirt came undone, and when you finally fell to your knees in front of him, you sucked hard on the skin where his abs met his pelvis.
"Shit. (Y/N), you don't... we don't have to--"
"For God sake, will you shut up?" You chuckled. "Did you not hear anything I said? Or should I just demonstrate how badly I want you right now?"
You took Derek's lack of further objections as permission to go ahead.
His buckle and pants came off pretty quickly. The next to go was his boxer, and the sight that greeted you afterward had your most intimate part gushing in excitement.
You wrapped your fingers around his hardening length. Tentatively at first, but the blissed out look on Derek's face only spurred you on even further.
"Is this okay?"
Derek gulped down before answering, "Yes."
You began to move your hand up and down, feeling Derek going stiffer and stiffer in your hand.
"Holy fuck," Derek cursed when you took his tip in your mouth.
He tasted divine on your tongue. It took a little while for your muscles to fully relax around his impressive size, but when they did, you began to bob your head back and forth, moving in tandem with the hand still wrapped around the rest of him that you couldn't fit entirely in your mouth.
"Yeah, just like that, pretty bug. You're doing so good," he panted.
Derek continued giving his praises, his words--along with his fingers in your hair--doing things to your body that had your thighs clamping down tightly. You began rocking in rhythm with the pace of your head and hand, trying to put pressure against the pulsing need inside your warmth.
"Fuck. Trying to relieve yourself, sweetheart? Sucking me off gets you all hot and needy, huh?" Derek moaned at the sight of you on your knees, teary eyed and full of him, writhing from the budding heat in the pit of your stomach.
You gave him one last suck before he pulled you up to your feet.
"Come here," Derek ordered before kissing you fervently.
He maneuvered the two of you from the doorway, following the direction to the bedroom that you had vaguely gestured at him. Once inside, Derek pushed you towards the bed while he threw his shirt onto the floor.
"You're naked," you mused in between giggles.
"And you're overdressed," he retorted. Your hands began to undo the buttons of your shirt before Derek's hand stopped them. "Let me."
He discarded your shirt in no time, your bra following not far behind.
"You're so beautiful," he whispered before leaving feathery kisses across your collarbone.
He started sucking on your nipple while fiddling the other one, enjoying the way your body reacted to every stroke of his tongue and every pinch of his fingers.
"Derek, please. I want to... I want--"
"Hm?" Derek paused his ministrations, keeping his hand busy by running it up and down your side. "What do you want, pretty bug? Tell me."
"I want you to touch me."
"I am touching you."
You whined. "You know what I meant."
With a chuckle, Derek left one last kiss on your breastbone before continuing his erotic journey southward. After sucking a mark underneath your belly button, he started fumbling with the button of your slacks.
"Fucking hell, sweetheart. You're soaked," he mulled out loud once you were free of the confine of your pants.
Even with your panties still standing as a barrier between Derek and your mound, you could feel every breath that Derek blew against your most sensitive part. There was no doubt surrounding the truth behind Derek's words. You could feel your wetness dripping down your thighs. It didn't exactly help that Derek had begun littering tiny kisses around your hip and pelvic bones.
When his lips made contact with your clothed core, the strangled moan you let out almost sounded animalistic.
"You taste so good," Derek said before diving in once again. "I could spend an eternity between your legs and die a very happy man."
"That's nice, but I don't want you to die just yet."
You tugged at his neck to bring his face back to yours, pressing both of your lips together in another heated kiss that had your toes curling inward.
"No more playing, please. I need you inside me right now," you rasped desperately.
"I still need to get you ready for me, sweetheart." Derek pecked your lips once more. "Why don't you lie back and relax, hm?"
Gingerly, you followed Derek's instruction. He made a quick work of removing your panties before his deft fingers began exploring your folds.
"So wet for me."
He inserted one finger at first, two, and then three inside your pulsing channel. It was a bit of a stretch, tight but not uncomfortable. Derek slid them in and out of you until you turned into a panting mess underneath him.
"Derek--"
He shushed you gently. "I know, Bug. I know."
He worked as if he was a musician and you were his favorite piece of instrument. The heel of his palm found solace on top of your bundle of nerves, drawing circles over and over again to the rhythm of his fingers inside of you.
Before long, you could feel the coil inside of your body snapping, sending your whole entire being shaking as you fell to the edge of a newfound ecstasy.
Throughout all of it, Derek kept his fingers sliding in and out of you, helping you ride your orgasm until your body had finally stopped spasming.
When you opened your eyes, you were welcomed with Derek's awed smile and warm eyes.
"Hi, gorgeous," you murmured breathlessly, still floating along the aftermath of your earlier pinnacle.
"Hey," he whispered back, kissing your temple with the most delicate of touches. "How are you feeling?"
"Blisfully sated."
Derek laughed at your overtly honest answer.
"Are you tired?" he then asked. "Because we don't have to do anything else if you feel--"
"Derek Morgan, I swear to God. If you try to talk me out of this one more time..."
His responding grin was mischievous. "Yes, ma'am."
After one last kiss to your lips, Derek started lining himself up with your entrance. The sensation of his tip pressing against you awakened the momentarily satiated hunger inside your lower belly. And when he finally entered you--slowly but surely--you could physically feel the air being punched right out of your lungs.
"Oh my God," you breathed out once he had filled you to the brim. "You're huge."
"And you're so fucking tight."
He pulled out his length until only his tip was left inside before driving back in with enough force to shatter your entire world. In no time at all, Derek had finally found a steady rhythm. Moving in and out of you while his lips and hands paid attention to the other parts of your body.
"Derek, Derek, Derek," you moaned his name endlessly, relishing every drag of his member against the pulsating muscles of your inner wall.
You could feel every ridge of him inside of you, along with every brush of kisses that he scattered all over your skin, every lazy drag of fingers on the curvatures of your body. All of your senses had been heightened around the presence of him.
"So fucking beautiful. Fuck. Such a good bug for me, hm? So desperate for my cock that you couldn't even wait to sober up."
The heat of Derek's words fueled your fire even further. You began to writhe underneath him, scrambling to make sure that every inch of you was touching every part of him.
"Tell me how good I'm making you feel," Derek ordered between his thrusts.
"So good, Derek. Oh God, you feel so good inside of me. Please, please, please."
Your desperation was the motivation he needed. Derek shifted you both until he was on his knees and your body lying halfway across his lap. When he continued to move again, the vigor of his pace nearly had you seeing stars.
"You feel like heaven, pretty bug. So tight and warm. Bet no one can fuck you as good as I do."
"No one, Derek. No one."
"Are you close, sweetheart? Hm? Tell me how close you are."
"I'm close. So close," you cried out. "I'm gonna... Derek, I'm gonna--"
As if he was reading your mind, Derek brought down his fingers and started drawing tight circles on your clit. All the while, he never relented the pace he had set inside your pussy.
"You wanna cum?" Derek groaned as he continued to nudge you further towards the edge.
You blinked back the tears that threatened to spill over, nodding your head frantically.
"Use your words, Bug."
"Yes, yes. I wanna cum. Please, Derek, make me cum."
And just like that, Derek sent a powerful thrust that had your toes curling, ears buzzing, and body shuddering.
Your second orgasm washed over you in big, tidal waves. A silent scream broken into desperate pleas and moans as you rode the high with Derek still inside of you. It didn't take long for him to follow behind. The sensation of you cumming around him became the very thread of his own undoing.
He spilled everything he had inside of you before his spent body fell into your arms. The air was heavy with the smell of sex and the panting of both of your breaths. You reveled in the aftermath of what just transpired, running your hands up and down the muscular back of the person responsible for your satisfied smile.
When Derek finally lifted his head up, he was adorning a smile identical to the one you had.
"That was--" you started, but struggled to find the right word to say.
Fortunately, Derek knew exactly what you meant. "Yes. Yes, it was."
He left a single kiss, then two, and three under your breast, before resting his chin back on the soft cushion of your abdomen.
"Derek?"
"Hm?"
You smiled at his tired hum. "You're sleepy, aren't you?"
"No," he replied, betraying the slight droop in his voice.
"That's okay. Go to sleep, baby."
You weren't even sure that Derek had heard your last statement, because not even two seconds later, he had started snoring softly against your skin.
Slowly as to not disturb the sleeping giant on top of your body, you pulled the comforter and tugged the edge across Derek's shoulders. Before long, you, too, were slipping into the deep slumber with Derek's steady intakes of breath as your lullaby.
Derek's weight on top of you was an anchor, one that you could have never dreamed of physically having outside of your hopeless fantasies. But Derek was real, and he was there with you in the comfort of your bedroom.
For a moment, everything was alright with the world. But then again, this was only the beginning of an unforeseen end. And as much as you wanted to convince yourself otherwise, you knew that inevitably, something was bound to go wrong.
You just hoped that when it did, you would have the strength to make it all right again.

Basil: I really love the new batman movie, batman is so hot
Me, physically repressing the Batman 2022 rant I've been seething in since I saw the movie: yeah, we think it's okay.
Spoilers for the movie:
Have the Rant anyway:
I genuinely feel bad when I tell people I don't like the film, because it seems so well received. I was so excited for this riddler, I was like "Oh I can't wait for riddler to be a big main antag!"
Then he got the Arkham Knight Scarecrow treatment. (By which I mean functionally he's just a secondary villain who hangs out in the background, but at least in AK scarecrow was, in some way, directly involved with nearly all of the subplots)
I'll avoid the Selina talk.
To be honest, I think it could have made a decent film, if they refined it and made it tell one story instead of what- three sub plots and an overarching narrative that probably only consumes about an hour of the film? Maybe it's the recording situation due to the mandates during production, but the film seems really unedited. It felt like kind of an unrefined narrative.
It's like they took a book, cut most of it, but didn't edit it to melt together seamlessly.
I really really wanted to like the movie, i remember getting out of the theater and feeling really indifferent about the film. I thought, "Maybe I'll digest it a bit, and then maybe I'll like it."
And then I digested it for a few days and realized:
"Wow. Okay. I hated that movie, but why?"
At first I thought it was the Selina Kyle thing, and then, no maybe it's the lack of riddler thing; After that, oh maybe it's the forced theme--
And then I realized: "OH. ITS ALL OF THOSE THINGS."
I desperately wanted to find something good, and I even visited the website before I saw the film, did the riddles and I FELT riddler in those riddles. Cocky, obnoxious, those words DRIPPING in narcissistic superiority. I watched the video, I was ecstatic.
Then, I saw the movie. I walked out, and I didn't like it.
I guess I probably hyped up the movie too much for myself, playing a narrative I actually enjoyed in preperation, indulging in the media that I was expected to induldge in after the film--
Then I got to the film, and it s u c k e d. To me, it sucked.
It felt boring, dry, and negligent to characters I love.
The character I liked the most in the whole movie? Penguin. PENGUIN. He gets maybe 7 minutes of screentime.
He comes off as the closest to penguin to me. I was thrilled to get a sadistic crazy riddler, a real serial killer kind of scary.
Instead, I got an edgier AK riddler without the robot army served to me with the hype of a slasher villain.
I KINDA EXPECTED SLASHER RIDDLER.
(Honestly, I probably would have loved shitty slasher riddler more)
I expected the film to be more like My Bloody Valentine meets Noir Detective.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic, so, rant over! Congrats! I hope I didn't piss you off too much. I'm just disappointed in the film. I have nothing against the cast, writers, or the director, I'm sure they had a really neat vision.
The execution and the marketing just didn't match up.
Honestly, if I'd opted to not avoid the trailers and spoilers or leaks, I probably wouldn't have gone to see the movie.
Thank 5 reading xoxo
