Penelope Garcia and Derek Morgan from "Criminal Minds" have the best friendship in the world! They are true friendship goals, but I also think that even though they aren't in a romantic relationship (at least as far as I have gotten on Netflix, I don't know if they do before Shemar Moore leaves…), they are also relationship goals.
​They take care of each other.Â

It doesn't matter if it's Morgan looking out for Garcia's' well-being, or Garcia freaking out over Morgan's safety, they have each other's backs.
​They have the best nicknames for each other.

Baby Girl, Mama, Sweetness, Hot Stuff, Princess, Doll Face
Chocolate Thunder, Hot Chocolate, Sugar, Angel
The names keep going into phrases, but they are classic!! There is also an episode where the FBI has a sexual harassment seminar and the examples that are used in the seminar are the nicknames and things Garcia and Morgan say to each other
​They don't feel the need to have sex.

Yes, I know that they aren't in a relationship where sex is a topic for them, but it still holds true. They don't feel the need to have sex because their relationship is that good.
There was one episode where Garcia got really wine drunk and woke up thinking she was with her boyfriend all night, but when she answered the door it was him. She shut the door in his face, turned around, and saw Morgan in nothing but a towel.
She thought she slept with him, and their dynamic the whole episode was off, until the end when Morgan told her that he came over for movies and popcorn (as they do), and he slept on the couch like he always does when he spends the night.They support each other.

It doesn't matter if it's on the job or in their personal lives, Morgan and Garcia give each other advice on relationships, work, etc. and it is never weird, just normal.
​They love each other to the ends of the earth.

Friend love is probably the best love there is. Garcia and Morgan have this connection about them that you can tell that they love each other in every way possible. They support each other, care for one another and their other friends in the BAU, and look out for one another. They hurt when the other is hurt, they laugh and have a good time together.
Garcia and Morgan give the airy light to the shows grim and oftentimes revolting reality. They are hilarious when they're together (especially on the phone). These reasons above work for both why these two are friend goals and relationship goals.
