"Elle, I'm home." Derek Morgan walked into the apartment he shared with his girlfriend.

"Elle? Where are you?" he said cautiously. Using his agent skills, he moved quietly through the flat, coming to a stop in the doorway of the bedroom. There she was, sleeping. Fresh from the shower, with her hair tied into a knot atop her head. She was perfect, even in her sleep.

If only our whole relationship was perfect, he thought to himself.

He quietly grabbed the short he wore to sleep, and went into the bathroom.

Whilst in the shower, he mused about the days work.

Teaching Reid how to fight was a real chore, not to mention firearms training with Hotch too. The kid was worked. If he was exposed to radiation, he would probably be Mr. Fantastic the sequel.

On top, he had a whole crap load of paper work to do, therapy with Elle, three press conferences to prepare for with J.J., and there was a possibility of promotion. He had way too much crap on his plate.

The slight padding of his feet was the only sounds in the apartment. He walked into the kitchen to get some soda. He grabbed a bottle of aspirin and swallowed two, dumped the rest of his soda, and padded into the bedroom.

He quietly, with as little movement as possible, climbed into bed beside his love. She didn't stir. But that was to be expected, what with the sleeping medication she was on. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. He rested his head on her shoulder and placed the softest of kisses along her neck and jaw, careful not to wake her. This was the only way for him to fell some sort of contact with her, to hold her in her sleep. She had blocked him away after her first therapy session.

All he wanted was her to be happy. And if her had to wait until the end of time, even to just share one happy moment, one passionate kiss, with real passion, not what she had been passing of as passion, but a real one, he would be able to die in piece.

All he wanted was a real girlfriend, not one who was always depressed, or pushing him away when he felt he had gotten a little closer. He wanted his Elle back.
