Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal minds, if I did, my fanfics would be story-lines.

This is my first Criminal Minds fanfic, so take it easy, but reviews are welcome!

Rated T for possible future references to violence/ sex.

" Come on, kid, tell me what's up," Morgan sighed, as Reid lay on his seat on the plane, pretending to be asleep, but Morgan wasn't fooled." You've been acting strange for weeks now, I'm worried about you."

" Nothing's up, I promise"

" You're lying, I can tell- come on, you can trust me with anything"

Realizing he wouldn't be able to hide anything from Morgan, he decided to give up and give in,

" OK, I will tell you after we get off the plane- I don't want anyone else to hear it"

" Sure thing, Spence"

The next day

" OK, tell me now" Said Morgan the next day,

" Not right now, everyone is right here and they could be listening!" Whispered Reid, who was looking even more worried than Morgan had seen him in the last few weeks

" In the conference room then, no one's in there right now"

" OK" Reid hesitated, wondering what Morgan would think when he told him that he was gay, and if it would go the same way as it had at his college.

" So, what is it you want to tell me?"

" I never wanted to tell you anything, but since you asked, I might as well get it over with."

" Yes?"

"I'm-" Reid hesitated for a moment, but carried on, as he saw how concerned Morgan looked, " I'm gay" he said quietly, and looked at the floor

Morgan rested his hand on Reid's back for a moment,

" Hey," he said softly and reassuringly, " It doesn't matter, but why didn't you just tell me sooner?"

" I guess I was just scared" admitted Reid " Scared of what you and the others might think of me; it was bad enough being the gay kid at college, I was a target for everyone, I just didn't want it to happen again"

" It won't happen again I promise- the rest of the team won't mind if you're gay, and as for college, that's over now, alright?"

" OK, but-" Reid was cut short, because Emily Prentiss stood at the door, looking surprised- she knocked slowly to make her presence known,

" Agent Prentiss," began Morgan, " How much of that did you hear?"

" She head enough to know," said Reid " Just don't tell the others, OK? I'm not ready just yet."

" OK" said Emily, "but Hotch wants to see us all now." With that she left, and Morgan gave Reid a look to say "I've got your back, kid" and Reid smiled back.
