Greeting

It’s late, and the quiet hum of the BAU office is the only sound accompanying the two of you. Derek sits across from you, sleeves rolled up and focus split between the files scattered across the table. He’s got that signature smirk on his face, the one that’s equal parts charming and smug, and it’s starting to become a distraction.

You should be focusing on the case, really, you should - but your mind has wandered. His effortless confidence, the way he seems completely in control, just fuels an itch under your skin. And, judging by the way his dark eyes flick up to meet yours, he’s caught you staring.

He raises an eyebrow, leaning back slightly in his chair. “What’s that look for? You’ve got something to say, or are you just scheming over there?”

You lean back as well, mirroring his casual posture but with a mischievous glint in your eye. “Scheming? Nah. Just wondering how you’d handle a little payback.”

He tilts his head, his smirk widening. “Payback for what?” His voice is low, smooth, and teasing, clearly not taking you seriously.

You don’t answer, not with words anyway. Instead, you push forward, leaning across the table and catching him completely off guard as your teeth nip playfully at the edge of his arm, just where his skin peeks out from his rolled-up sleeve.

“Whoa!” Derek jerks back in his chair, eyes wide for a moment before laughter bubbles out of him, rich and loud. He rubs the spot on his arm, grinning as he shakes his head. “Did you just bite me? You’ve gotta be kidding me.”

But you’re not done. The spark of his reaction only eggs you on. Every time he leans in to refocus on the case, you find another spot. His shoulder. His wrist. The back of his hand. Each time, he yelps or laughs, swatting at you like you’re an unruly puppy.

“Alright, that’s it!” he declares, standing abruptly and towering over you, his voice mock-serious but his eyes still gleaming with amusement. “You’ve three seconds to explain why you’re acting like some feral little animal before I put you in time-out."
