Dog Days

Pairing: Moreid (temporary Morgan/Savannah)

Rating: Mature (just to be safe, will be adjusted by the end of the fic)

Summary: The Unrequited!Love Dog-Sitting fic disguised as a Holiday Fic

Everyone knows that the myth of ‘The Reid Effect’ has been debunked when it comes to babies and children, over the years, but interactions with dogs still leaves much to be desired. That is, until Reid finally happens to meet Morgan’s dog -- Clooney. Turns out, most dogs might dislike the young doctor, but Clooney is absolutely enamored with him. Will not leave his side, begging for attention, and Morgan can’t help but see the opportunity for what it is: a chance to help Reid past his fear of dogs (because his dog is the best and what’s not to love?), while he gets a prospectfully new dog sitter as he travels to Chicago to visit family for the holidays. 

And Spencer is terrified of this dog, but still says yes in the face of Morgan’s earnest request. Because Dr. Spencer Reid has been silently in love with his best friend for many years, and despite his every attempt to move past it -- how could he ever deny him anything? Even looking after his giant, wolf-like dog. 

Important Tags: Angst, Unrequited Pining, but not actually because they’re both morons. There is no cheating in this fic. Canon-compliant, set around season 10. Christmas/holiday themes. Fluff and humor as well. Lots of dog related puns and activities. Misunderstandings and miscommunications and dumb men being so dumb. Happy Ending. (But not before I rip your heart into tiny confetti sized pieces.) 

CW: Remember how I said there was angst? Basically we’re all going to be suffering from broken heart syndrome for a lot of this story. I cannot stress enough how much this might make you cry. Also, I have made Clooney a very large dog, and Spencer is very much afraid of this dog to start with. I promise Clooney is an absolute sweetheart, though, and they bond over how much they miss Derek over the holidays. This is NOT a Savannah bashing fic, Savannah is a queen and might take matters into her own hands about these two idiots -- just so you know. ((And I don’t know yet if I’ll be adding sex into this. I haven’t written the end completely yet, if I do I will change the tags/rating, and if I -don’t- then I’ll probably end up doing a one-shot separately.))

Congrats on 200!! 🤗

I would love 🖼 a moodboard for .... hhhhmmmm how about HotchReid?

And I can't find a pencil, but I would love any blurb about HotchReid as well ❤

Eeeehhh I'm excited!! Congrats again! 🤗

I am ALWAYS on board for HotchReid, and you were my other freestyle moodboard so you get my Light!HotchReid moodboard that’s all soft and warm and romantic <3

AND IN THAT VEIN, I had an idea and ran with it so this is half blurb/half one-shot and idk where it came from but have some domestic, established relationship HotchReid C: and thank you so much for sending me the asks and celebrating with me!

--

//In which Jack outs his dad and Spencer’s relationship before they even get a chance to call it one//

--

They don’t mean to start sneaking around. Honestly they don’t. 

It just… happens.

There was no rhyme or reason for it, hiding what was very obviously becoming a permanent fixture in their lives in and outside of work. This gradual build up of moments and conversations and late nights that turned to intimacy as easily as everything else about them. Shared looks, subtle touches, feather-light at first -- until the glances turned heavy and the touches more prominent. The stolen moments turned to stolen nights, hidden behind hotel room doors or buried in tangled sheets back home in D.C. 

They didn’t need to hide anything. Not from the team, their friends they considered closer than family. But they did -- purely because they didn’t want to share this yet. Label it. Place it in those societal boxes of expectations and questions and future aspirations when right now it was… so easy. So perfect. Almost domestic in its comfort it offered, because it was theirs and theirs alone. It can be whatever they wanted it to be --

And right now, it felt like home.

-

Hotch always rises with the sun. He goes on early morning runs at all times of the year, rain or shine, even when it snows. He’s always back in enough time to get Jack up and ready for school, shower and get himself dressed for work, he’s a creature of habit and routine is his comfort zone. But now --

Now, sometimes it’s hard to leave his bed in the mornings, and the sight that always greets him when he returns from his runs makes him smile like he hasn’t in a long time. 

Spencer sleeps much later, sometimes until Hotch is done showering and has already tried to wake him up two or three times with bribes of coffee. Kissing his cheek or wild curls while still smelling like sweat from his run, and Spencer swats at him or hides under the covers without even opening his eyes. And Hotch lets him until it gets too close to the time when they need to head into the office. 

“Why does Spencer get to sleep in?” Jack asks with a tired whine, now nine-years-old and pouting over his bowl of cereal as Spencer finally drags himself from bed and to the coffee pot at half past seven in the morning. Hotch smirks and weaves around the man, scooping him close to kiss him good morning before letting him continue his trek. 

“Because he finishes his homework before bedtime,” Hotch answers his son, looking pointedly at the half completed math homework on the kitchen table. The deluge of questions were just another diversion tactic, he could see right through it, and he doesn’t let up until Jack picks up his pencil once more. 

“You have homework?” Jack asks Spencer, who sits beside him and is still rubbing his eyes beneath his glasses. Steam off his coffee the only breath of life he needs to wake up fully.

“Oh, I always have homework. Last night it was actually Morgan’s ‘homework’, he thinks I don’t notice when he slips files onto my desk.” 

Hotch sends Spencer a reprimanding look, because they both know that Morgan and Prentiss slip Spencer files all the time and he’s supposed to be putting his foot down about it. 

“He should really do his own homework,” Jack mumbles, glaring at his own math equations. 

“Well you be sure to tell him that when you see him again, Jack.” Spencer would pay good money to see that conversation, and he smiles fondly at the young boy for having his back. 

It’s barely ten minutes later when Spencer is getting up from the table and is gravitating towards the coffee pot for cup number two when Jack pipes up again.

“Hey -- was I supposed to not tell anyone about Spencer living here?” 

Hotch and Spencer look at each other, not realizing that… really that was what had happened in plain terms. Spencer did indeed live there. He couldn’t even remember the last time that he had been back to his apartment. Weeks, maybe. 

“It’s not really a secret bud, why?” Hotch asks, hesitant because… it’s not a secret, they just haven’t said anything to anyone.

“Because Aunt Penny didn’t know and now she’s sending me lots of screaming emojis.” 

Spencer looks to his phone and he also happens to have about a dozen text messages from Penelope. Most of it unintelligible key smashes and strings of pictures. 

“No texting at breakfast, you know better,” Hotch reprimands Jack as he checks his own phone. The juxtaposition making Jack scowl and Spencer snicker. Hotch finds he doesn’t have as many messages from their tech analyst, but he does have a few. The whole team probably knows already. 

He sends out a text to everyone that says ‘team meeting 9am’ 

“Guess I don’t have to take the train today.” Spencer is giving him a look over his coffee mug, amused but still hesitant. “I feel like we should be nervous, but I’m not.” 

Hotch can’t help the smirk of a smile on his face as he presses Spencer to the counter and kisses him fully, but still at least a little chaste -- with Jack making gagging sounds in the background. ’Dad, gross--’

“Finish your homework, and go brush your teeth,” he tells him without looking over. One more kiss that tastes like coffee and too much sugar, grinning a little too wide.

“I can’t tell if you’re happy, or plotting something.”

“A bit of both,” Hotch answers cryptically.

“Now I’m nervous.”

“Don’t be, I’ve been planning for this day for a long time.” But he keeps his secrets to himself as he ushers Spencer towards the bedroom -- their bedroom, he now realizes -- to make him get ready for work.

--

An hour later, the team is gathered at the round table in the conference room, and Hotch passes out binders to everyone packed with training material.

"Wait, this is an actual team meeting?" Prentiss blanches.

"How is this not about you and Reid sleeping together!?" The shock of a five pound binder in their hands seems to have taken any accusational tones out of anyone’s voices, but Hotch still scowls at Morgan’s outburst, and Spencer immediately jumps to their defense.

"We aren't sleeping together, we're…" they look at each other. "Living together. Are together."

"Dating." Hotch simplifies.

"Okay, so this ISN'T about you two 'dating'?" JJ elaborates this time, careful gaze darting between them, as is everyone else’s. 

"No, this is about how none of you noticed we were dating,” Hotch answers evenly, calmly. “If it had been about announcing ourselves, the text would have said ‘family’ meeting." 

That makes a few people smile, Penelope making a soft squeal in delight, and it changes the air in the room dramatically. 

"So ‘family’ dinner Saturday, Dave's house thank you for volunteering." Hotch says, just to wipe the smug look off the older man's face. He hadn’t said a word, yet, but with the smirk he’d been sporting all morning he didn’t need to. 

"This," he points to binders. “is a refresher course you all get to audit. Profiling 101, I want them on my desk by the end of the week. Morgan do not pass it off to Reid, you're doing your own homework this time."

Spencer can’t help it, he laughs. Hotch manages not to -- even in the face of Morgan’s comically betrayed expression.

At least Jack would be pleased to hear it.

[katytheinspiredworkaholic]

Hi omg congratulations!!! Reaching milestones is always so exciting! For your celebration, I’ll do 🖼 and 🤔, both Moreid! I love you sm and congrats again!

Thank you so much dear!!! <333 You are so sweet, thank you for playing my ask celebration! 

I have never done hc before (I’m very excited, but they won’t be short I can tell you that now) and I haven’t written for Moreid yet, but I have read a bunch of fics over the years so here we go:

When they first get together, Morgan bribes Prentiss to switch desks with him so he can knock his feet against Reid’s under their desks while they work. It only takes about a week for Hotch to make them switch back because they keep getting too distracted and it’s affecting their report output.

Garcia is their number one fan. Her own real life OTP, and has made a digital scrapbook full of pictures and little stories and quotes and she gets it made into a bound book that she gifts them on their one year anniversary. There are tears all around. 

While Reid has gotten much better with babies and children over the years, dogs still hate him -- all except for Clooney. Who turns into a mess at just the sight of the tall, gangly man, and would leave Derek dead in a ditch if it meant he got just a good scratch behind the ears from one Dr. Spencer Reid. He sleeps on Reid’s side of the bed, now, and lays down on his feet while Reid is reading or working at night. That is Reid’s dog now, and Derek teases him incessantly about it. 

When they move in together, Morgan builds floor to ceiling book shelves that take up an entire wall in the living room. And the office. And the bedroom. He thought he was over-preparing for all of Reid’s belongings, but he thought wrong. There’s still books stacked on side tables and against the backwash in the kitchen and on both the nightstands -- there’s books everywhere. It takes them a whole day just to move the boxes in and find places for everything, and they are both so exhausted from it (Morgan lifting and carrying boxes from the moving truck to all corners of the house, and Spencer just from shelving them) that they pass out in a tangle of aching limbs and don’t even get to christen their new home that night. 

They make up for it in the morning. Twice. With a hot shower in between. Shared, of course, because now they have all the time in the world instead of stolen nights and moments between cases. 

And now that he gets Spencer all the time, living in the same space and making meals together and walking into a room just to find him curled up in a sweater and glasses reading books at the speed of light Derek can not leave him alone. It doesn’t matter what he had originally walked into the room for, he makes a point to set it aside for just a few minutes so he can crowd against Spencer -- on the couch, against the kitchen counter, wrapping strong arms around him even when he’s in the middle of ironing shirts or writing his mother a letter -- and kiss him so soundly he knocks those square framed glasses right off his face. 

And Spencer lets him, every time. Smiling bright even as he scolds Derek that he was busy a second ago, chastising him and “excuse you” only to be kissed more deeply. 

Their ‘honeymoon phase’, as Rossi calls it, lasts all the way up to the day Derek proposes. Then it starts all over again.

If I can swing this somehow, then I will die happy.

[katytheinspiredworkaholic]

K you keep mentioning a pinterest board for the dark au and I'm in need of a link or something because I'm v v ready for it. Would you be willing to share? Or show a couple pins?

WHY ANON I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK

All of my pinterest boards are public, feel free to poke through them, and here’s the direct link to my Dark AU board that I’ve been adding to for months I kid you not. CLICK HERE.
