Title: Movie Night
By: patch_tank
Rating: G
Summary: Written for the quote ficathon challenge thingy at morgan_garcia. My quote was "A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous", by Ingrid Bergman.
Feedback: Hell yeah.
Archive: Sure! Clue me in though, ok?
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Criminal Minds, because then Derek Morgan would be naked a lot.
Warnings: None that I can think of.
Author Note:. Shippier than anything I've written before or am ever likely to write again, but this quote was a doozy! Thanks for organising this scoob2222, it was fun - and a great way to get more M/G fic out there :)

"See, what the hell is that about?" Derek asked, gesturing at the TV screen.

Penelope looked at him questioningly.  "What?"

"Right there.  She's talking so he kisses her to shut her up?  That never happens."

Penelope curled her legs up on the couch.  "Derek, it's a movie.  Stuff like that happens in movies."

Derek reached for another handful of popcorn.  "But he interrupted her.  Usually girls hate that, but she just melted into his arms."  Movie night with Garcia had become a weekly ritual - as had arguing about the plausibility or otherwise of the plot.  "I'm just saying, if you were ranting about something the way you girls do so well - ow!"  Penelope hit him.  " - and I suddenly kissed you, you'd smack me one, right?"

Penelope smiled and snuggled against him.  "If just any guy did it, yeah, probably.  But you?  I'm sure there'd be a little melting involved."

Derek grinned and kissed her forehead.  He kind of hoped Penelope would be in a talkative mood tomorrow. . . .
