Derek Morgan and Spencer Reid

Song: Alone with You by Jake Owen
There was a knock at the door. At one in the morning that knock only meant one thing. Spencer Reid was drunk again. Morgan heaved a large sigh and got out of bed. He moved towards the front door with slow heavy steps. Never had he known the "kid" as he often called Reid would end up to be a drinker. It wasn't often, only after really tough cases, but that was often enough in Morgan's book.
Finally reaching the door Morgan took a quick look through the peephole before unlocking and opening the barrier between him and his best friend. Morgan sighed again at the tipsy mess outside his door. He moved to let Reid in. The younger man stumbled into the room, dragging one hand across Morgan's chest for balance. Morgan wishes Reid would tell him where he's been or who's he been with. Reid response has always been that it doesn't matter, but it matters to Morgan.
"Spencer-" Morgan began but didn't get farther than that. Reid pushes his body up flush against Morgan's. He put his lips up to Morgan's claiming them, slipping his hand under Morgan's nightshirt.
"It's ok" Reid whispers into Morgan's ear. He moves older agent away from the entry, shutting and chaining the door. Morgan bows his head in defeat. It happens every single time. Reid would come stumbling through his door, drunk out of his mind, kiss him maybe mumble a few I love you's and leave. He knows he can't win this war, but he tries every night. He knows he can't be alone with Reid. He knows that every time he hears the younger man's voice he's out on the edge and that it would kill him if he fell. He knows this all but every night he gets swept up in his love of Spencer Reid and wakes up alone in the morning.
Morgan wishes, dreams and prays that Reid feels the same about him. That Reid really did mean the I love you's. That it was just fear of loving a man, of losing his job, or being abandoned that keeps Reid from staying the night, but he knows it's not.
Later that night as he watches Reid pick up various articles of clothing Morgan sighs and whispers to his love, "I can't be alone with you," but Reid never hears. Morgan continues still in a too soft of whisper for Reid to hear, "I don't see you laugh and you don't call me back, but you kiss me when you're drunk." Morgan lays his head back as he hears the door click shut. "Why are you the one I want?" he asks the ceiling, tears ready to fall.
A/N I know that everyone thinks that in a situation like this we would expect Morgan to be drunk and leaving Reid alone in the morning, but I like making Morgan the more vulnerable one. :)
Tell me what you think, and if you have any songs you like I'll listen and see if they spark any inspiration. So far I have the beginnings of little drabbles from Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men, (Kissed Me) Good Night by Gloriana, Safe and Sound by Capital Cities, Demons by Imagine Dragons, and Savior by Rise Against. Any others you like?
