derek: i’m so glad this case is over
spence: me too
derek: do you wanna come over tonight? we can get takeout and hang out with clooney
spence: you had me at clooney
derek: awesome :)
spence: okay i have a question
spence: you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to
derek: what’s up?
spence: the sky :-)
spence: okay but actually
spence: you said last week that you felt like your feelings for me were predatory in a way at first, is that because of what happened with carl buford? i really don’t want to pry but i want to make sure i know what you’re comfortable with so i don’t cross any lines you know?
derek: uh yeah
derek: i guess this is kind of hard to talk about so bear with me
derek: i guess i just always felt that having feelings towards any man was predatory in some kind of way. as i came out to myself, those thoughts became more and more subdued but when i started to realize that the feelings i had for you were more than platonic, they came back in full force.
derek: then when we worked on the case that involved him, i guess i realized i could take back the power he had over me. i finally let myself realize that my feelings weren’t perverted or creepy in any way because we were both adults.
derek: but sometimes my mind goes back to that place and it can take me a while to shake it off
spence: oh derek. if it helps at all, i have never EVER found you to be predatory in any way. the feelings i have for you are real and you have never once tried to control them, or me for that matter.
spence: i adore you, i always have. i really do want to help in any way i can
derek: you’re an angel
derek: maybe we can talk about it more when we get home?
spence: sounds like a plan

jj <3: not that i wouldn’t love for you to meet the boys, but probably not in this context yet
jj <3: if thats okay
emily prentiss: of course that’s perfectly fine!! they’re your kids, they should be your number one priority always
emily prentiss: i never wanted it to seem like i wanted you to prioritize me and whatever we have before your family.
emily prentiss: the boys, and even will, should always always come before our thing, whatever it is
jj <3: oh em
jj <3: i know that you want that, i didn’t mean for it to seem like i thought you didn’t.
